Abby's POV:

I felt my heart sink down to my stomach. I couldn't do anything. I didn't know how to react. I was just frozen. I dropped my phone on the floor, still sat frozen.

"Abby??" Joe said, shaking me.

Jon picked my phone up, talking into it.

"Can you please tell us what happened??"

"Well, I was walking down the street and I saw a man walking across the road. Everything happened so quickly. The next thing I knew, he was lying in a puddle of his own blood. He kept murmuring for someone named Abby before he passed out."

"O-okay, we're on our way." Jon said before hanging up. 

"We better go." Joe said. "Come on Abby."

I just stayed sat. I didn't want to go. I didn't wanna see Colby in such a horrible state.

"Abby??"

"I can't." I said.

"Abby, you need to come with us." Jon said. 

"I don't want to." I said as a tear fell down my cheek.

"Abby, we know you're upset but Colby needs you. Please come for him." Joe said.

"O-okay."

10 minutes later.....

I couldn't describe how emotionless I felt as we arrived at the hospital. I felt like my soul had been stolen.

"Um...we're here to see Colby Lopez." Jon said to the lady at the front desk. 

"He's in room 3B. He's still being checked out by the doctors."

We nodded and headed over to the room. I felt my heart pounding harder with every step I took. I didn't know if I was ready to see Colby. I didn't know if I could handle seeing him on a hospital bed.

We stopped walking when we made it to the room. Jon opened the door and we all walked inside. What I saw ripped my heart into shreds. Colby was on a hospital bed, bandages around his head, waist, arms and legs. He had an oxygen mask on and was breathing in time with the heart monitor. There were a few doctors doing some last minute check ups on him. 

I walked over to his bed, tears in my eyes as I held onto his hand. 

"I'm sorry Colby. I'm so so sorry. I should've understood what you were going through. I should have tried to help you but I let you walk away. Why does this always happen to you?? Why do you always have to suffer?? I'm so sorry for letting this happen to you. I promise I'll do anything I can to help you. I'll make you happy again, no matter what I have to do. Just please wake up for me."

Nothing happened. He still lay there.

"Colby, wake up please. I can't take this." I sobbed.

"Abby, I think we better get out of here." Joe said.

"No!! I'm not leaving him like this. He needs me."

"Abby, the doctors are here. We'll come back tomorrow." Joe said.

"No, I'm not leaving. I don't care what you have to say."

"Abby, we're hurt too, you know?? That's our baby brother there. This is killing us right now but we learnt how to take it. We need to go and let the doctors do their job. They know how to take good care of him." Jon said.

"Please Abby."

I looked at Colby one last time. I didn't have the heart to leave him by himself. I kissed his cheek before turning to leave. Just as we made it to the door, we heard something we weren't meant to hear. The beeping of the heart monitor was beeping way quicker than it was supposed to.

We turned around and I saw all the doctors rush around Colby's bed as it looked like he was struggling to breathe.

"Colby??" I whispered.

I tried to go over to his bed but Joe kept hold of me.

"Colby!!! No, don't leave me!! Joe, let go of me!!" I yelled as I frantically tried to get out of his grasp. "COLBY!! LET ME GO JOE!! HE NEEDS MY HELP!!"

I had tears run down my face as I tried to get out of his hold but he had a strong grip.

"Abby, please let the doctors do their job."

"Colby!!! You can't leave me like this!! I love you Colby!!!"

I couldn't breathe but I didn't care. I tried my hardest to get to Colby but I couldn't. His breathing seemed to be getting worse and all the doctors were panicking.

"No, Joe, please don't do this to me. Colby!!!" I screamed as I felt my arm slipping out of his grasp.

I was gasping for air. I was having a panic attack but I didn't care. I suddenly felt a small pain in my arm. I was getting dizzier and felt myself getting weaker and weaker as tried my best to keep my eyes open but darkness over took me.
