Chapter twenty six

My little sister is attempting suicide?

I'm in complete shock. Why would she do something like this?

In between my sobs I yell, "Blake get up here now! It's Austin! God hurry up!"

He rushes in breathless but stops short when he sees her on the bed, her back barely moving.

"Kate. What the hell do we do?"

"I'm going to all 911. We need help. She just probably tried to kill herself."

I call the hospital and they say that they're sending an ambulance to help us. The ambulance takes ten minutes to get here and in that time I've called mom and she's got ahold of dad. We need all the support we can get, and like it or not, she is still his daughter too.

Blake and I get into the car and follow the ambulance to the hospital. When we get there, we see mom and dad standing by the entrance waiting for us.

We jump out of the car and run over where mom engulfs me in a hug. We all need our family right now, even dad. Im willing to not be a total b!tch to him, because he needs us too right now, his youngest daughter just attempted suicide, we think.

We rush into the waiting room to wait for news regarding Austin. Everyone fears the worst, that she succeeded. I doubt it though, she wouldn't do that. She probably was just crying into her pillow and the oxygen amount got too low so she passed out.

After about an hour of nerve wracking waiting, a nurse comes out and calls out, "Family of Austin Stevens? You may come visit her now."

All at once we rush up and walk quickly towards the blonde nurse. As we walk she informs us on Austin's Condition. She, like I suspected, had fallen asleep while crying into her pillow and oxygen got cut off mostly so her body shut down, and she passed out. End of story. Austin is not suicidal and will be ready to return home in about an hour.

We reach her room and see her sitting up in bed. "Mom I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean to do it I swear. You have to believe me...please?"

"Austin baby, we don't doubt that you're sorry and that you didn't mean to. Please calm down honey. Your ok now and that's all that matters."

"Ok mommy. I love y'all."

Mom goes with the nurse and dad to go do the paperwork, so it's just me, Blake and Austin in the room. Nobody is speaking, so the only sound is the beeping of the heart monitor, a steady reminder that Austin is alright.

I don't know what I would have done if she hasn't been. She is my little sister, a part of me. Forever and always.

"Please say something. This heart monitor has been annoying since I woke up."

"What do you want me to say? I don't know how to comfort girls, I am a guy after all."

We all laugh at Blake for a few minutes and then a nurse comes in to unhook Austin from all the cords going into her.

We walk out hand in hand to the car and drive home, once again silently. Nobody is happy, it's strange.

Yes I know that it's a short chapter. I have a headache though so too bad. I didn't go to school today, but I don't know why I didn't write anything so sorry. Y'all are amazing. Thanks so much for 815 reads it really means a lot to me, that people are actually reading this.
