"C'mon Melody, take your bottle" Ryan pouted as the baby stared up to her uncle not understanding him. He just sighed placing the bottle down. "Does your diaper need to be changed?"

Ryan phone started buzzing in his pocket, he ignored it trying to get his niece asleep. Melody started crying harder. "No, no shh, shh" he cooed rocking her in his arms.

The house phone then started ringing, he only rolled his eyes wondering who was it and why this time. He answered the house phone, only wishing he didn't as the words he didn't want to hear became true.

Your sister has been in a car accident.

Every fibre in Ryan body froze as he was speechless, all he could hear was them explaining her condition and what room and hospital. Ryan wasted no time into getting down there calling his 2 best friends in hope to look after Melody.

He made sure Melody was secure in the car seat as he got into the driver seat. Taking a moment, his hands were trembling debating whether or not to just walk it, but he was desperate. As he started the engine up he decided to drive very carefully.

"I didn't break up with her... she... died in a car accident. There were things I didn't get to say, I didn't feel like I was protecting her enough. She was also pregnant Amy... I only wish I was there... I guess-"

3 weeks later

Bryce felt his eyes slowly fluttered open as the brightness of the light stunned him groaning out lightly as he tried to readjust to the brightness of the room.

A squeak from a chair was heard as he went to turn his neck, a instant regret of pain struck through him whimpering out. "Hey, man you're finally awake" the voice came from his friend Luke.

He slowly nodded desperately looking around for Amy. Luke noticed the worry look in his eyes as he cleared his throat not knowing how to break the news. "She's still in care Bryce... she... she slipped into a coma. Bryce it's been 3 weeks since the accident..." Bryce's eyes widen feeling like it has only been a day, 3 weeks being out?

"R...Ry...Ry-" "Ryan?" Luke said finishing his sentence that he couldn't managed to spit out. Bryce slowly nodded as Luke passed him down a cup of water. Little did Bryce know he was wearing a neck brace finding it hard to even sit up. It pained Luke watching his friend struggle let alone a wreck. He helped sit him up carefully as every muscle hurt in his body

The door opened as Jonathan walked in, messy hair, no sleep or shave. He was a wreck. "Thank god" he breathed out pulling him into a gentle hug. "We thought you'd slip into a coma as well" he sighed pulling away from the hug.

"My... my daughter.... Melody.... is she ok?" "She's fine Bryce... she's in good care with her grandmother... Ryan and Amy mother. "How is she taking it?..." "Not good... it is her daughter after all, but Ryan... he seems to be the most affected by it" "I wanna see her..." "Bryce no!" Luke said trying to hold him back down. "I need to see her Luke..." "Bryce just lay here and rest... I'm gonna get the doctor" Jonathan said as he left the room not before checking the room where Amy was, seeing what it has been like for 3 weeks.

Ryan in the chair holding Amy lifeless hand asleep leaning his head on her lap. He hasn't left, not once. Only to use the toilet or freshen up but then he'll be back instantly, talking to her about what she's missing out on. He just only wishes that she will wake up.
