"We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still" - Photograph - Ed Sheeran

The shrill ring of a phone, is what woke me up the next morning in a jolt. I was still on the pallet Austin and I made last night. The lights were off still, but I could tell from the light in the kitchen that the power was back on. I quickly noticed that I was alone in the living room, meaning that Austin had gotten up and was somewhere else in the house.

"Hello?" I heard his voice in the distant. It sounded like his voice was coming from the kitchen. Hearing his voice brought me back to memories last night. Kissing him was literally the best thing in the world. Kyle and Matt are good kissers, but nothing compares to how good it felt to kiss Austin.

As amazing as kissing him last night was, I am not sure where this leaves us now. Will this effect our friendship in a negative way? All we did was kiss a little, then we cuddled until we fell asleep. It was innocent compared to what some people our age does. I wasn't sure what was going to happened now that he and I kissed, but I am nervous about it.

Interrupting my thoughts, Austin comes walking into the living room where I still was lying on the floor.

"My mom just called, they are on their way to the hospital. Your parents left in the middle of the night because your mom's water broke."

I jumped up when he said that my mom was in the hospital. "I need to go too. I need to be their when the baby is born."

He chuckled, "Slow down Becks, she hasn't had him yet, but she's close. We will hurry and get ready and I'll drive you."

"Okay," I don't know why, but I was a little frazzled. My mom is just having a baby, it wasn't like she's having a major surgery. But I have watched too many Grey's Anatomy episodes. Something ALWAYS goes wrong.

"Becca, relax." Austin walked towards me and put his hands on my shoulders. "Your mom and new baby brother will be fine. Go get ready and then we will leave."

I do what he says and head to the bathroom to freshen up. I take a quick shower, which made me feel so much better than I did when I woke up. It relaxes me. Usually when I'm taking a shower, I think. But this time, I did everything I could to not think. I didn't want to stress myself out even more than I already have.

About an hour later, I was ready. My hair was still a little damp, and I didn't have much makeup on. But it was okay. I needed to get to the hospital to await my little brother's arrival. Austin was sitting on the couch waiting on me when I walked into the living room.

"I'm ready," I said. He stood up, and I followed him to his car. I decided to ride with him and leave my car here. The drive to the hospital wasn't long, and within ten minutes we were there.

I hadn't been back to the hospital since Austin and Kyle were both in the hospital. That was one of the most scariest situations I've faced and I never want to have to experience that again. Those memories were not pleasant ones. Austin led me into the elevator and pressed the number three since the baby floor is the third floor. Immediately, I tense up. I don't even like hospitals, but I definitely don't like elevators.

Knowing how uncomfortable I feel when in elevators, he puts an arm around me. No words were spoken, but none had to be. He knew how to calm me and he does a pretty good job at it.

The elevator doors open, and I walk up to the front desk. "Hi, how may I help you?" The lady asked.

"I need Rebecca Drake's room number please. I'm her daughter."
