*Recap*
We walk in the door and see Charles standing by the couch looking at us, me and Joey let go of each others hand. My face goes blank, Joey looks down.
C: Aaron told me everything. About the hand on the thigh, the kissing earlier how you're dating in secret and everything else that he knows. Ava I told you not to get involved with my friends!
A: How come you can get involved with my friends and I can't get involved with yours?!
C: Because I just can Ava!
J: Honestly I don't think that it's fair if you can date her friend but she can't date me.
C: Shut up Joey. Ava you guys are not dating at all.
A: Then break up with Mya.
C: No. I'm not breaking up with Mya because I won't let you date my best friend.
A: You're not going to tell me who I can and can't date.
C: I'm not going to tell you who you can and can't date but you are definitely not dating Joey.
A: Why though?!
*End Of Recap*

C: Because!

I walk upstairs to my room with Joey following me, I lay on my stomach on my bed. Joey lays beside me on his stomach, he lays his arm on my lower back.
J: Are you okay?

I turn my head and look at Joey, I smile a bit at him. He grabs my cheeks with his hand and squishes them together and talks in a girl voice.
J: *Girl voice* Yes Joey. I'm okay. I just need some cuddles.

He lets go of my cheeks, I smile at him. He pulls me closer to him and cuddles me.
J: I wish this summer could last forever.
A: Me too. I don't want to leave. I only have 1 more month left.
J: So let's make this 1 month memorable.

Joey smiles at me and I smile back, he kisses my forehead. There's a loud honk outside a few minutes later, I get up and look out my window. I see an ambulance and Thomas, I run out my room and outside with Joey following me. I run up to Thomas.
A: What's wrong?! What happened?!
T: Get in the truck now. We need to go.
A: Why?! What happened?!
T: Charles was walking out of the house cause he was mad and a drunk driver hit him. Now cmon.

I start crying and tears start falling down my cheeks and walk over to Charles who is still laying on the ground, Joey follows me.
A: *Crying* THIS IS ALL YOUR F-FAULT JOEY!!!!!
J: HOW IS THIS MY FAULT!!!!!
A: *Crying* IF YOU HAVEN'T PERSUADED ME AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULDN'T F-FIND OUT WE WOULDN'T BE HERE!!!!! HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN MAD AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE WALKED OUTSIDE AND GET HIT BY A CAR!!!!!
C: Stop freaking out Ava. I need 1 of you guys to ride in the ambulance with me.
A: *Crying* Ch-Charles are you okay?
C: Yes. My leg just hurts and I have a bloody nose. It's nothing now who is going to ride in the ambulance with me?

The paramedics lift Charles on a stretcher.
J: I can.

I push Joey and he stumbles back.
A: *Crying* NO! I AM! I'M HIS SISTER NOW JUST GO AWAY!!!!! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU EVER AGAIN!!!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!

I calm down and Charles gets in the ambulance and I get in with him.
J: Cmon Ava. Just talk to me.
A: *Crying* Go away Joey. I don't want anything to do with you anymore.

The ambulance doors shut, I calm down a bit.
A: I'm sorry Charles.
C: I told you not to get involved with him for a reason Ava. I knew you would get mad at him or he would get mad at you and then there would be a fight then it would be awkward and he wouldn't want to come over or hangout again.

I look down at my hands and start playing with them, Charles starts coughing. I look back up and see the paramedics putting on a breathing mask on Charles.
A: What's wrong with him?!
P1: He might have a collapsed lung and he's coughing because he's having trouble breathing.

We get to the hospital a few minutes later, the paramedics roll Charles into the E.R with me quickly following. Doctors and nurses rush in the room with masks on, they move Charles from the stretcher onto the bed.
P2: 15 year old male, his name is Charles Gitnick, he got hit by a car and he might have a collapsed lung and a broken leg. He's having trouble breathing on his own.
Dr: Okay. Thanks.

The paramedics leave.
D: Are you his sister?
A: Yeah. His friend Aaron and our older brother Thomas is coming.
Dr: Okay. Are you younger? We don't like having younger kids because sometimes something goes wrong and we don't want someone younger to see it.
A: We're twins.
D: Okay.

The nurse hooks him up to IV's and starts asking him questions.
Dr: Charles give me a thumb up if you can hear me.

A few seconds later Charles puts his thumb up.
Dr: Are you having trouble breathing?

Charles moves his head slightly.
Dr: Okay.

A few hours later Charles is able to talk a bit and Aaron and Thomas are sitting in the room with us, the doctor comes back in the room.
Dr: Can I have you guys step out of the room real quick. We're going to run some tests.

We walk out of the room and sit in the waiting room, a few hours go by and Aaron and Thomas are asleep. Doctors start rushing into Charles room, I stand up and follow behind. I look into the room from the glass window and they start putting a tube in his throat, the doctor comes out of the room.
A: What's happening to him?
Dr: He stopped breathing on his own and he wasn't responding to CPR so we had to intubate him.
A: What does that mean?
