I'm updating now, I changed my mind. I'm still putting up a chapter in Sunday, weather it becomes a double upload or not yet, I don't know. Oooo the element of suprise.
UNEDITED
Rory's POV
I lean back on the kitchen island and take another mouthful of pizza. We didn't have any other food and to be honest no one was in the mood to even try to be healthy.
In front of me Luke is leaning up against the counter and Michael is sat in a ball on the floor, plate of pizza balancing on his knees.
"Time?"
"Pffffttttt"Luke breathes out holding up his watch "nearly 1:00"
"Useful Luke, but how nearly" I state more then question.
"15 minuets till....just enough time for us to make it there on time if we leave now"
I look down to Michael who just stares ahead into the space in front of him. He's been going through mood swings since he found out he news. To start with he was sad, next he was...jealous? (I don't know of what might I add he just had that sort of a look about him) after that he was protective, making sure to be near me at all times as if telling Luke 'she-might-be-all-I-have-left-so-don't-even-try' and now he's just....depressed. Completely and utterly lost in sadness and his own demons. The bleak eyed monster consuming his being. It was so bad he hadn't even touched his pizza.
"Mikey? are you ready to go?" I ask, kneeling down to his height. He just stares through me, as if I wasn't there, saying nothing. I look up at Luke who smiles sympathetically back. I take a deep breath before holding my hand out to Michael, when he doesn't take it I lightly grip his arm and tug him up of the floor.
"Grab your keys, we're going now" I tell Luke. He nods and walks back out the kitchen, ignoring my rudeness to him.
"Mikey, we're gunna go see them now" I talk down to him like he's a baby. I know he's not but, in his fragile state I think it's easiest for him to understand. He ever so slightly nods his head. I start to walk the same way Luke went and he trails behind me, dragging his feet.

We pull up outside the hospital and I turn back to see Michael. Me and Luke had sat in the front and Michael had sat in the back. He had his head in his hands and there were wet patches on his jeans from fallen tears. I reach back and pat his knee
"We're here..." my voice trails of as he looks up. His face completely red, his eyes bloodshot and his cheeks wet from crying. I bit my bottom lip in order to stop myself from crying too...he needed me to be strong right now, I have to look after him.
I fell a hand on my shoulder and I turn to see Luke weakly smiling at me.
"It's ok to show emotion Rory, it's not a sign of weakness" he says. I frown at his words before nodding slightly, I breath out through my noise
"Thanks Luke...for being here I mean. I don't know where we'd be if you hadn't been kind enough to drive us here, quite literally...."I laugh slightly at the last bit. He chuckles.
"You know it B-Rory? what's your last name? I know it starts with a B" he carets on chuckling realising how little we know about each other, yet here we are.
"It's brooks" I giggle "and yours?"
"Hemmings" he smiles. There's silence for a few minutes until a voice from the back speaks up
"Mines Clifford" it states. I turn back to see Michael propping his head up on his hand and looking straight ahead through the front window. I giggle at him, that's the first thing he's said in hours.
