Anna & her Alphas

Fifteen: Safe & Sound

Brett's POV

We rush into the hospital as as soon as we get there. After the five hour drive we are beyond desperate to see our little sister. It is half seven in the evening but I don't care if visiting hours are over - I'm seeing her and staying with her! She needs me.

I am ******* angry, furious, annoyed and upset. I feel like I'm a ticking time bomb, something small will trigger me and I'll blow up and probably punch anyone near me. I will see red.

Anna nearly-

"Bro, calm down," I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN," I shake Louis off. "Sorry just-"

"It's fine. I'm stressed too. But don't be this angry when you see Anna. Just be her big brother," Louis says and walks off slightly in front of me.

Me and Louis are twins (I am older by twenty minutes) and we try not to row with each other too much.

At the moment, however, we're just trying to deal with our fluctuating emotions.

I am furious and frustrated with Anna - why didn't she tell us the second Drake met her? Mum, even Dad back then, me and Louis have always told her profusely to never be a victim of cyber bullying and that you can put a stop to it by JUST telling someone.

I realise Louis is already at reception asking what room she's in.

"ICU - Brett she's in the ICU!" My heart sinks down even further as Louis tells me this unsettling news.

"I'm gonna kill-" I start but stop. I need to focus on my sister.

"C'mon, she's in room forty one," Louis glumly says and we walk down the sterile, white hallways.

We finally reach the room and my shaking hand knocks on the door...

"Come in," I hear Adam grunt.

We both walk in.

I meet a sight I never wanted to see - my sister attached to loads of wires and machines; asleep, looking very pale and weak wrapped up in a thin hospital blanket that looks very itchy. I notice Adam and Logan each sat beside her bed.

"Hey," Adam mutters, looking up. He looks broken and exhausted. I'm not gonna beat him up right now. Maybe later.

"Hi. Oh god, Anna," Louis walks to her bedside and sits beside Adam and gently takes Anna's hand and puts it in his.

"She did wake up after her surgery but she was very weak and we told her to go to sleep. She's been asleep for a while now," Logan checks his watch.

I feel like I'm frozen. I'm helpless. I can't do anything now to help my baby girl. I just want her to wake up. Desperately.

I take a seat next to Logan and just watch my sister, her uneven breaths, her oxygen tube and drips. She looks so ill. Hell, we even look ill right now. Adam and Logan are tired, I can tell, and we are all very pale and tense. It doesn't take a genius to work out we nearly lost our Anna.

As if reading my mind, Logan breaks down and whispers; "we-we nearly lost her, she was that, that close to-."

I gingerly put my arm around him which feels weird as we've never, as step brothers, done that yet.
