Danger Is My Middle Name - Banana Bus Squad

XVI

After what seemed like an hour but was really twenty minutes of silence, some of the gang started filing into this weird room. There was four of them. Evan, Jon, Brian, Craig.

I craned my neck, trying to see over them to see if Brock was with them, but my face fell when I realised it was just them, David and myself.

I chuckled a little giving each of them a look, "Very funny guys. Why didn't you tell Brock I was awake?" I asked.

They all looked saddened when I mentioned my brothers name, especially Brian. Ha. Craig owes me fifty.

Brian moved towards the bed side, putting a hand on Davids shoulder, "Go wit the rest of the guys and Quinn, both of you go back to the house and get some rest, Ill stay wit Cassie. Explain everything to her." He said.

I could tell David was too tired to protest, he just nodded and followed the others out.

Brian turned to face me, "You really don't remember?" he asked.

I sighed, "No. I've already been through this with Dr-David and Quinnie." I say, chewing on my lip.

He pulled a chair over to the bed and sat down, "Well, I cant tell you everything, but I can tell you what I know." He stated and I nodded my head, understanding.

Okay. "So, two years ago, on June Fifteenth -"

"Sorry to interrupt, but what exactly is the date today?" I asked, noticing that there was no calendar in the room.

Brian smiled, but I could see the tears start to prick in the corners of his eyes, "June Seventeenth." He answered, not meeting my gaze.

There was silence for a moment before it hit me, the realisation hitting me hard, "O-oh. Its his birthday. Is that why hes not here? Is he out living life and enjoying his birthday?" I asked and Brian simply shook his head no.

"Two years ago, on June Fifteenth, around four thirty in the morning. I got a call from the emergency services. The officers name was Lieutenant Panamax, they asked whether I knew Brock Barrus or Tamsyn Prince, they didn't identify you at the time. I told them that I knew both of them. They asked what my relation was with them, I could hear someone crying, it was very faint, so I told them that I was in a relationship with Brock and friends with Tamsyn. Panamax stayed quiet for a moment before replying with sorrow in their voice, I'm sorry Brian, but your friend is dead and your partner may not survive.. My world shattered, I asked which hospital they were going to try and get Brock to and they replied telling me he probably wouldn't make it there. But the paramedics would do their best. I broke down. Cassie, he didn't pull through. The crash- I got here and asked for him, but they said that he wasn't here, but you were. They said that you were in the car, in the back seat. It saved your life. Tamsyn was distracted for a minute, he didn't see the traffic stopped. He couldn't stop and the car slammed into the back of a truck. You're lucky your alive. Let alone awake." Brian explained.

My whole world fell before my feet, my heart felt like it weighed a ton. "My family. They're all gone." I whispered, my throat closing as I tried hard to hold back my sobs.

"You've still got us. We're your family too." Brian said.

I shook my head, "My family, my world, they're all dead. My brother, my partner- they're gone. You're joking, please tell me that this is a big prank. Brian-I-" I broke down, the monitors around me starting beeping really fast.

"Cassie-Cass-cal-" I could hear Brian talking but I was breathing to fast, my vision started to darken. 478, breath.478. I felt everything slipping away, the beeping was starting to fade, a tiny slither of light remained for a while before it all disappeared and I was left in the dark.
