Brandie's pov 

After a few minutes Matty whispered, 

"What's wrong bae?" 

The words caught in my throat and I pulled away from him. I walked back into the living room and grabbed my phone handing it to him. He almost dropped it, and quickly hugged me again whispering, 

"Are you okay?" 

I shook my head and he picked me up saying, "C'mon. You should get some sleep. Tomorrow you can call Becka and talk about it. Even if you need to fly back I'll go with you." 

My head bobbed as I nodded and suddenly I felt a bed beneath me. Matty's arms disapeared and a minute later they wrapped around my waist from behind as he pulled the duvet over us. 

Carefully I moved so I was facing him and he whispered, "Everything's gonna be okay Brandie. She'll be fine." 

I nodded even though I still had my doubts. My dad died in a car crash, and I almost died in two. Now my mom gets into one and she's in a coma that she might never come out of, while I'm in a different state! 

Somehow I slowly managed to drift into sleep. 

----------------------------------------

I grabbed my bags and ran off the plan, Matty following me. He refused to let me go back alone. He didn't want me to go through this alone even though I have Becka. But she's most likely going to be with Pete. So here we are in LA. 

The hospital appeared and I was out of the car before it fully came to a stop. We had rented a car. I ran inside and Matty got out and shook his head running after me. He didn't want me to face this alone. That's one of the things I love about him. 

We got to the room and I glanced over my shoulder at Matty. He gave me a small smile and I walked in. Becka was in the room ,tears streaming down her face and a tissue held to her nose. I knew why. My mom was still alive but she looked terrible. She looked dead. Her head was wrapped and her hair was lank and greasy. I hugged Becka and walked over to my mom. I heard Becka hugging Matty and they said something but I wasn't paying attention.  

Gently I kissed my moms;s forehead whispering, "Hey mom, I'm here. Sorry it took so long. Listen, you need to pull through this okay. I'm engaged and so is Becka. You need to live so you can come to our weddings, and so you can have grandkids. I love you so much, don't you dare leave me." 

I moved away as tears fell from my eyes. The door opened and pete walked in. I refused to look at him and he walked over to Becka. He was ignoring me. Fine. The heart monitor thingy started flat lining and Becka buzzed for a nurse, Pete walked out of the room saying something I didn't understand, and Matty was trying to keep me from having a panic attack. 

I walked over to my moms bed and put my forehead on hers whispering, "Mommy don't leave me."
