We rushed him to the hospital and Carlos gave him an inhaler to use. 

Since Carlos had a spare,  he pulled that one out and started spraying like crazy.  So did Thomas.  Everyone was over reacting. 

"Theo? " I walked up to my husband who was facing the wall and looking down.  He turned around to look at me. 

His eyes we're tired and filled with a mixture of anger,  sadness. And... Something more.  But I didn't understand.  I brushed his hair out of his eyes and kissed his cheek. "Please can you take the kids back to the car? "

"Sure." He smiled weakly at me.  "Okay kids,  back to the car. "

All the kids didn't even have the energy to argue.  But Larisa keep asking Theo if Luke would be okay. 

I turned to Naomi.  She was sitting on a chair,  her head in her hands.  She looked deep in thought but her hair looked crazy. 

"Naomi, " I gently sat beside her and her neck slowly turned.  I heard her bones crack and her eyes stared straight at me.  She had like a million bags under her eyes.  Even the bags had bags.  Her eyes were red and dark. 

"Yea? " She croaker then cleared her throat.

"Let's go home.  Get some rest. " I suggested. 

"I can't. " She blankly told me and then turned back to looking at the floor "I'm not leaving. "

"He's my brother-" I began. 

"He's my husband-" She interrupted me. 

"We share the same blood. " I cut into her sentence.  "I know what he's going through.  I went through worse. "

"What's possible worse than this? " She looked around "locked up in some hospital,  lying on a bed,  missing friends,  family,  home?  Taking medicine 24/7? "

"I was involved in an accident when I was 8 years old.  I almost died. " I told her.  "8 had a  token leg,  neck,  my two arms are broken and I also had appendicitis. I could've died!  I needed a lot of blood. "

"How did you survive? " She asked me. 

A tear escaped from my eye as memories of my near death experience flooded back to me. 

My mom was busy and my dad who usually picks me up from school was sick so he sent his friend to pick me up from school. 

Luke didn't go to school that day because it was club day and Luke wasn't in any club. 

On the way back home,  my dads friend was blasting music and driving at a very high speed.  Then he opened his box that was under his feet and got out three boxes of whiskey. 

He got them all down and I started screaming as he was bending over to put then under his chair. 

"What,  you brat?  Where you screaming?  Huh?  Huh?  Whyte you screaming? " He sat up right but it was too late.  We slammed into the fuel truck in front of us. 

I heard sirens everywhere before I completely blanked out because of the fire and smoke all around me. 

...

When I got up again,  I was in the hospital with a neck cast,  a leg cast and two arm casts. 

My family rushed into the room all crying.  Then the doctor said that I needed a blood transplant.  My mom looked at my dad.
