Weaver's POV
All the other kids are going home with their mamas and papas and brothers and sisters but I know that when I leave I am not going home. Instead, I will go to grandmas house. Sadly, I grab my coat from my peg and stuff it into my book bag. Then I join the rest of my class before the teacher takes us up to the pick-up point.
I hope that when Mr Pavey opens the doors I will see mama and Arloe. I hope they are both smiling and happy but when the doors open I scan the crowd quickly and see they aren't there. My smiley excitement and hope fades rapidly and is replaced by overwhelming sadness. I take a second look round looking now for my grandma but instead I see the man that helped Mac when mama fainted in the elevator. I can't remember his name.
He walks over towards me and Mr. Pavey. He is dressed kinda funny. All the other mamas and papas are wearing jeans, tops, shorts, hoodies, and vests but this man is wearing a.... a.... I can't remember what it is called.... erm..... a suit!!!! It's called a suit!!! Anyway... the funny looking man is talking to Mr Pavey before he crouches down to talk to me.
'Very Well, I'll see you on Monday, little Miss Weaver!' Mr Pavey says to me. I wave bye bye and look at the man in a suit. 'Hey Little one, I am picking you up today and taking you to see your mommy and Arloe...' He says but I don't look at his face I just look at the ground. Grandma promised to take me to see momma and Arloe but she never has. I think he won't either. He tucks a finger under my chin and lifts my face till Im looking at him.
'I helped you're mama when she fainted in the elevator at the hotel, do you remember?' He asks. 'Yeah, and Mac took us to get sweets and a movie'.
'Your Grandma gave me your Car seat and I installed it in the front so that we can sit together on the way to the hospital. Is that ok?' I nod 'yeah!!!!!! Let's go!!' .
He really is going to take me to see Arloe!!!!!! YEAHYYYYY! I grabbed his huge hand and dragged him all the way to the parking lot. We got in the car and I even got to sit in the front seat?! Grandma never lets me because she says it's safer to sit in the backseat'.
I am playing with the dolly I have in my bag, and thinking about my papa. Momma said he was away and busy but he might visit soon. I wonder if Matteo is papa?
'Hey Princess, what's wrong?'
'Are you my p...p-papa?' I say.
'Yeah sweetie I am, I'm really sorry that it took so long for me to tell you but I love you very much!'
Papa is back!! Woah, I can't wait to tell Arloe, we can all go play football in the park and play outside until the street lamps come on. I don't mind it took you this long to find us. I understand.
'It ok papa, Arloe is sick and he needs you and mama more than I do at the moment but when he is better we can all play soccer and have picnics! Ooooh we could even get a dog!!' I look up out of my window and there is another car driving too fast and it crashes into daddy's side.
My neck really hurts because it smashed into the car seat and I can smell something yucky. I look over at papa and his head is bleeding and his eyes are closing. WHAT IF HE DIES?! But we just found him?
I oook down and find papas phone, ,ama taught me that if she passed out I should use the phone and call 911 and answer as many of their questions as I can clearly. I stretch for the phone and find the button dials. I press the number 911 three times and it rings"Hewo? I need an ambuwance.... my papa is hurting and another car just hit us...." I say into the phone.
'Hey sweetie, do you know which road you are on?' I look around for signs like mama told me too but I can't see any I just see shops so I name a few. Mama said that they can find you if you give them a.... a... landmark.
'There is a pizza place called pizzeria de Mia'
'Ok sweetheart, I am sending an ambulance to you, are you or your daddy hurt?'
'Erm... my daddy is sleeping and my neck hurts he has blood on his head.'
'Ok, the ambulance will be with you very soon I promise but I need you to stay on the phone until they reach you ok.'
'Ok' I say.
'So, what is your name? How old are you?' The lady on the phone asks.
,My name is Weaver and I am 4 years old! I have a brother but he is in the hospital because he has a poorly brain'
'Sweetie you are very clever for calling me, I am sure your mama, papa and brother will be so proud of you' I can hear sirens now from the ambulance. I tell the lady just before they arrive. When they get to us a man comes to my side and pulls me out of the car and holds me against his hip. We talk.
'Hi little one, I am Javier the firefighter. I'm going to look after you whilst they look after your papa.' I look at papas car and see lots of people around it, they are all dressed like Javier and are cutting daddy car. They pull daddy out of the car and he is still sleeping. Then the ambulance men start shouting loudly and moving around him quickly. I start to cry.
'Javier, what is wrong why is he sleeping why won't he wake up?'
'Your papa is hurt, and although the ambulance people are helping your papa get better the most important person making him better is his body and brain. Your papas brain is telling him to sleep so that he heals quicker from his injuries, ok?'
'My name is Weaver thank you for looking after me Javier!'
'No problemo bebita' he says and smiles at me. Whilst the ambulance men fix papa we talk until they put us in the back of the ambulance and Javier looks after me until we get to the hospital.
When we get there they won't let me see Arloe or mama or papa. It's not fair and I scream and scream until I am crying so hard I am almost sick. The nurses try calm me down but it isn't working I can't even control myself. Javier bursts into the room and runs over to me, he wraps me up in a blanket in his arms and hugs me tightly.
He whispers 'Weaver you are ok, Papa is ok, Arloe is ok, and mama is ok. You need to let the nurses help you so that you can go see them. I promise I will stay with you, a,right?' I nod and my full blown scream fest is over and I sob gently and hiccup into Javier shoulder until Jackson walks in, followed closely by.....
MAMA...........................
GRACES POV
I realise that what Jackson tells me is going to trigger the start of my entire world is truly falling apart.
'Matteo was in a car accident.... and Weaver was injured too'
