Lance screams at the sight. He rushed to Sam who was on the floor, pale, and barely breathing. He cradles him and checked for a heartbeat. He couldn't feel for one.

"SAMUEL?! SAM YOU OKAY?!" He cried. "¿Qué ha pasado? ¡POR FAVOR NO SER MUERTO, OH DIOS POR FAVOR! " Keith ran up and pressed his fingers against Sam's pulse, faint but at least he's not dead.

He got up and quickly called 911 while Lance kept holding Sam.

" ENCIENDE, ¡DESPIERTA! ¡DESPIERTA, SAM! ¡SAM POR FAVOR POR FAVOR! " Lance kept crying.

"Yeah, yeah he's on the floor... I don't know. He's... uh he's fifteen, I think. I don't know, I'm just his brothers friend! Look we need an ambulance now!" Keith was talking to the operator. "Y-Yeah... Lance calm down."

" ¡NO PUEDO CALMARME! ¡NO PUEDO! ¡MI HERMANO SE ESTÁ MURIENDO! " He shouts, kept holding Sam close. Keith walked over and hands Lance his cell.

"Sir?" The operator talks. "Please calm down, the ambulance is coming now."

" Prisa... Es Samuel... se está muriendo... " Lance tried speaking but he kept crying.

"Sir I need you to breath, the ambulance is on it's way." Lance took a deep breath and gave the phone back to Keith, he hugged Sam close to him. Keith talked to the operator again. Soon enough a group of medics came in and put Sam on a stretcher and hooked him to a breathing machine. Lance and Keith ran outside and Lance asked to go with them. They let him on, Keith held his hand and let go as soon as he was on the ambulance. As soon as they separated Keith looked in the window and saw two little heads watching everything.

Keith walked in and the two kids ran to him.

"Princess what's wrong?" Sarah asks with fear in her voice. Keith panics but tries to answer.

"Um... Sam had to go to the hospital. Lance went with him so I'll stay with you two." Keith said.

"Why?"

"He's sick, okay? Listen it's late so you two should go to bed."

"It's not night time anymore." Sarah points out. "See? One thirty eight in the morning."

"Exactly, you two should be asleep." Keith picks up the two and carried them up. Though it was a struggle since they were heavy. He got them to their room and lays them down, they look up at him with big eyes.

"Will Sam come back?" Sarah asks. Keith tried giving her a pleasant look.

"Of course he will sweetie." Keith nods. He about left when Sarah pulled on his sleeve. "What now Sarah?"

"Can we pray for Sam?"

"Pray?"

"Yeah, ask God to take care of Sam. God will watch over him." Sarah explained. Keith had no clue how any of that made sense, he wasn't religious, neither one of his families were either. So praying was a weird concept. Ask the imaginary man in the sky to create miracles. But if it made those two feel better then he'll do it.

"Okay. How about you talk to God Sarah." Keith said cause like hell he knew what to do. She smiles.

"Okay, put your hands together like this." She showed Keith how to pray, which wasn't hard and he knew how to pray. "Now lets bow our heads." Keith and Rico follow the eight year olds instructions. "Dear God, recently Samuel went to the hospital. Princess said he was really really sick and now Sam's going to need you. We ask if you will be there for my older brother and make him feel better again so he can be with us, also give us strength so we can overcome this issue. In Jesus name we pray, amen."
