RESCUE - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS SEQUEL

PROLOGUE -

I sat on the cold, uncomfortable chairs in the hospital's waiting room. I had been waiting here for three hours, sipping untold amounts of coffee and watching nurses and doctors running around on their night shift. I had had no news about hannah, nothing new anyway, they'd come every half hour to tell me the same thing they'd already told me. I was getting tired of getting no answers but I understood they needed to get her into surgery and do the best job they could which would take time. Mum was sat beside me, comforting me and trying her best to take my mind off it like mothers do although I appreciated her trying, it wasn't working. I just pictured her laying across the front of the car, covered in scratches and bruises.

Mum kept dropping in and out sleeps which left me to the silent halls and my thoughts. She refused to go home and leave me by myself in this situation and I was secretly relieved as I didn't know my reaction if things turned for the worse.

The doors to the hospital burst open, I turned to look up, hoping it would be the doctor with some news but it wasn't. The rest of the gang stood there, wide-eyed and looking around for me I guessed.

"Ast.." Marvin said, being the first to spot me.

"Hey guys," I whispered, placing my coffee down on the seat next to me and standing up.

"How is she?" Rochelle asked.

"I don't know anymore than what I told you earlier, they're not telling me anything." I sighed with a shug. Their faces fell as the relaxed and sat down on various chairs.

"That's bettter than bad news," Chloe said, trying to lighten my mood and make things better than what they seemed but nothing could be worse than this right now.

"She's right Aston, no news is good news as I always say," Mum added in, sitting up and reaching for her coffee.

"Not in this situation, they should be out of surgery soon," I mumbled, looking at my wrist watch. They had been in surgery for over two hours.

"All we can do is wait," AJ sighed.

"And hope!" JB said and we all agreed with a silent nod. No one knew what to say to each other, usually we would be chatting and laughing over anything but at a time like this, there was no time for jokes. The silence made everything worse, gave my mind chances to play tricks on me and make me believe there was only one outcome which was the worst.

"I'm just going to head to the toilet, come get me if theres any news," I said, standing and throwing my coffee cup in the bin as I passed it. The toilets were only down the hall and I was going to make sure I was as quick as I could be. I didn't want to miss anything.

I did what I needed to do in the toilets, washing my hands and taking a few moments to take a few deep breaths before I left. I was never usually negetive, I usually tried to make the best of every situation but this was so much different and I needed time to breathe.

When I got back, everyone was stood out of their chairs and huddled round, forming a small semi circle. I could the doctors voice and when my footsteps were heard everyone turned to look at me. The doctor stopped talking and stared blankly at me. I looked round the group, everyone was red eyed and had wet cheeks. The girls were sobbing and the boys weren't far from it.

"What's happened?" I asked, looking at the doctor and he looked sympathetically at me.

"No.." I whispered, shaking my head furiously as it clocked in my mind what must have happened.

"Aston.." Mum croaked, reaching her arms out for me but I stepped out of them.

"She's not.." I gulped, not being able to finish the sentence.

"Aston, she's gone, I'm very sorry," The doctor said, "We did all we could to save her but the injuries were too severe and her body gave up,"

"You're lying to me!" I shouted, "Mum, tell me he's lying!"

"I wish I could, sweetheart but I can't," She whispered which made me freeze on the spot. I couldn't move an inch and I swear I didn't even blink for those few seconds. It wasn't until Mum wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into her warm body that I finally moved. All emotions took over me and I sobbed, making a noise that was between a sob and a scream. My legs even gave way and I dropped onto the floor, bringing my hands to my face. She couldn't be gone, this couldn't be happening.

we were supposed to be getting married.

she was supposed to be having my child.

this is a horrible start to a new story, I know but it will get better in a few parts. I know this is different to the last idea I had but I have some ideas I want to write. I'm really sorry if this upsets anyone or anyone has been through anything similar to this, I didn't mean to upset you and I don't mean anything horrible towards these situations. They must be an awful thing to go through.
