"W-What happened?" Nina asked as she hugged Noah to her so he can't see. Sirens are heard coming closer because Ms.Wong, who was outside, saw and called 911.

"He was walking up kinda wobbly and out of it so I thought he was drunk and when I went to help him go inside he collapsed and he won't wake up or respond to anything." I panicked. Jason ran over and got onto his knees by Danny.

"Dan! Danny! Come on bro!" Jason exclaimed as Nina took Noah inside. Jason went through the motions of trying to find a pulse, listening for a heart beat, lifting Danny's eyelids to try and see his pupil.

The ambulance pulled up and rushed to get Danny onto a gurney. Jason kept shaking his head.

"No. No no no." He muttered to himself and I can see tears forming in his eyes increasing my worry for the both of them. Jason usually knows what to do when Danny gets like this but he actually looks terrified.

"I'm getting in the ambulance with him." Nina stated as she marched out of the trailer and to Danny's side as the paramedics rolled him onto the truck. Jason stays on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Jason, find someone to watch Noah and Tatum then meet us at the hospital." Nina demanded and the paramedics closed the doors. The ambulance drives off and I walk up to Jason. Right before I can touch him he gets up abruptly and storms into the trailer. I follow after him and he's pacing around the kitchen. Noah is sitting on the couch beside Tatum in the baby carrier. Noah is on the verge of tears as well as he watches his uncle basically freak out.

"No. He's gonna be okay. He promised. He fucking promised!" Jason shouted then full force punched the refrigerator. Then he yelled in pain as he held his hand, which is most likely fractured, and slid down the fridge onto the floor. Noah screamed in fear and Tatum started crying.

"I am here and I want to help." Ms.Wong said slowly walking inside. I gave her a forced smile and nodded.

"Um, can you please watch these two?" I asked. She smiled nicely and nodded as she walked over to the children. Then I went over to Jason and he's leaning his head back on the fridge with his eyes closed, I can tell to keep him from crying. His hand is turning red and starting to swell and his knuckles are bleeding.

"Come on Jason. We've gotta go." I said grabbing his keys off of the counter.

"Thank you Ms.Wong. I'll call you from Jason's phone when we get to the hospital." I said. Ms.Wong nodded as she rocks Tatum in her arms.

We get to the hospital and I burst into the emergency room with a silent Jason by my side. We walk up to the front desk and the receptionist guy stares at us. Then at Jason's hand.

"Oh honey. What happened?" He asked as he pushed a call button for a nurse to come.

"He punched the fridge." I said. He raised his eyebrow as he not-so-subtly checks out Jason.

"Did the fridge survive?" He asked. A nurse came in and turned Jason to look at her. Jason doesn't make eye contact with anyone as he keeps his stone cold expression on his face.

"Lets go and I can fix this up for you." The nurse said leading him down a hallway. I looked back at the receptionist.

"We also had someone come in here by ambulance a few minutes ago. Daniel Hawke. Is there anything you can tell me regarding his condition? How is he?" I asked.
