Permanent

LANA

We were sitting at an iHop laughing as we all ate, but for a few seconds it was quiet until Brendon spoke, "mommy do you think I'll ever have a daddy?"

Woah I wasn't ready for that.
I choked on a sip of hot tea and coughed loudly. "Baby, you do have a daddy. He's just not around."

"No I mean a permanent daddy." Tears welled up in his eyes as he said this, my face dropped and I put my hand on his cheek.

"Brendon, I promise you that you will have a 'permanent' dad one day and he will be the best dad you will ever have. You won't understand what's going on right now, but one day you'll look back at every dad figure in your life and see how different they are to a 'permanent' dad. And baby I never had a 'permanent' dad, but I'm not going to let you grow up like that. Hun you need a dad in your life." He smiled back at me as the tears went away.

"Beebo, you'll always have me, Sam, Cory, Elton, and some of your mommy's friends. You can always come to us if you need to. When you're with mummy you ask her to call us." He nodded at Colby and latched onto his neck. "I wish you were my dad Colby, you'd be the best dad in the world." I saw Colby's eyes widen as he hugged Brendon back. He looked at me and I shrugged not knowing what to say. "Well, uh, B, if you want to think of me as your dad that's fine with me. I am you and mommy's best friend right?" Brendon smiled at him and let go so he could finish eating.

When we finished eating we headed out to Colby's car and started our journey back to the 5H house. "So how's YouTube? Turn right at this light." I asked, giving him directions back to the house. I looked out my window and my eyes widened. "Holy shit!" I yelled as I saw the truck come barreling towards us. I screamed as the truck hit the passenger side of the car and everything went black.

COLBY
It's been about 3 days since the crash. I couldn't get the scenario out of my head. A huge truck ran a stop sign and hit the passenger side of my car, the side Lana was on. Brendon and I got out with minor injuries while Lana, ended up in a coma. The doctors say they tried everything but she may not wake up. Ever. Poor Brendon, he's been a hot mess. He won't leave my side, not even to go with Ally.

I haven't been on social media since before the crash, I should probably check that. I sighed and went onto Twitter,

Breaking news: Lana Baito, Colby Brock, and Brendon Baito in major car accident!!
Earlier this week a truck ran a stop sign and hit the three, Colby driving with Brendon on the drivers side in the back. That left Lana in the passenger side of the car, that being the side the truck hit. She is reportedly left in a coma while Colby and Brendon have minor injuries. The big question is, will Lana ever wake up?

"OF COURSE SHES GOING TO FUCKING WAKE UP!" I yelled throwing my phone. Brendon, who was sleeping on my lap, woke up startled and looked at me weird. "Sorry Bren, I'm just stressed." I whispered running a hand through my hair. He nodded and leaned against me again. Someone knocked at the door, but then walked in. "Shawn?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Oh, I didn't know you'd be here." I scoffed at his remark and pointed down at Brendon, who was half asleep on my lap again. "He won't go to anyone else." His eyes softened as his gaze landed on Brendon. "Brendon, hey buddy it's Shawn wake up." He rubbed a hand over Brendon's hair lightly and waited for him to wake. "S-Shawn?" Brendon whispered making Shawn smile at him and nod his head. "Hey bub how are you feeling?" Brendon started to cry and latched onto Shawn, making my eyes widen. "H-How did you get him to move? He hasn't left my lap since they let us in here!" Shawn shrugged as he picked Bren up. "Mummy is going to be alright, okay? Colby and I will make sure of that. Now I think you should go with Aunt Ally for a little okay? She misses you and she's worried about you." Brendon nodded into Shawn's shoulder and got down as the girls came filing in. He came over to me and hugged my legs, making me squat down to properly hug him. "Be good for Aunt Ally okay? Call me if you need me to come get you or if you need anything at all, alright bud?" He nodded and hugged me a little tighter. "I love you Colby." "I love you too Brendon."

*1 month later*
It's been exactly one month and three days. Brendon's birthday is coming up, I hope she wakes up before then.

*2 days later*
1 month and 5 days after the crash.

LANA
I opened my eyes and tried to sit up. Keyword: tried. I groaned in pain and caught somebody's attention, I knew this because they went running out yelling for a nurse. Ah shit a hospital great. "Miss Baito? Do you know where you are and why you're here?" I looked up and saw a doctor, well two of him but it was one man. I went to speak but ended up coughing, my voice is so strained from not being able to use it.

He held a straw up to my lips and I took a sip of the, what I was guessing was, water. I tried again and my voice was hoarse and barely there. "I'm in the hospital because some asshole hit the car. Where is my son? Are Colby and Brendon okay?" He nodded at me and called someone in. "Colby." I tried to say but ended up coughing. "Shh L don't strain your voice so much. I'm right here, Brendon and I are alright. I had a few scratches and a sprained wrist. Brendon broke a rib or two and had a concussion, but you've been out so long we are healed. He's with Ally and Shawn." I nodded at him and closed my eyes as he hugged me cautiously. I could smell his cologne and it smelled like home. "Y-you...sm-smell...like home." He chuckled and looked me in the eyes. "I could get lost in your eyes," he pushed a stray piece of hair off my face and kissed my nose.

"I'm so sorry L, if I knew he ran that stop sign I could've stopped and-"
I put a finger on his lips and shook my head. I put a hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down to kiss me.
"I-I missed you." I whispered looking at his eyes now. He smiled slightly at me and kissed me again. When we parted he put his face into the crook of my neck.

"I love you."
