My Step Brothers

Chapter 58. I hate New York

Alex's point of view.

We were driving the rental in the snow. I have to say snow sucks. Chase is stressing. Im not sure why. I just got off the phone with some guy named Dylan. At least we know where to find Dani and end this miserable night. I typed the address into the gps, its gotta be all this snow. It really sucks.

I call up the holiday inn out here and book a room. I can't wait to crash. I didn't sleep on the plane, I was afraid we wouldn't find her. This really makes it easier. I turn the music on and just zone out alittle.

Its taken us a little longer to get out here. The car rental place gave us a hard time about renting a car because we're under age. We had to get Dad on the phone. He left a hefty deposit so we could rent a ford focus. His deposit was more than the car. The phone rings and its that number again. I go ahead and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey is this Alex?" The voice asks upset.

"Yeah what's up?"

"Dylan just left with Dani to the hospital. He told me to call you."

"What's happened? " I ask trying to hold it together.

"She accidentally got pushed down the stairs. The ambulance came and she wasn't moving. They got her heart beating but she's out. Im texting you the address to the hospital. "

"Thanks. " I say in shock. I hang up the phone and put in the address. Chase looks at me. I take a deep breathe. I fight back the urge to freak out, we just need to get there.

"Dani got hurt. I don't know how serious it is so take your time. We will probably beat the ambulance to the hospital " I say calmly. Chase is starting to look pissed off. He starts swearing.

I call Dad up. I slowly explain Dani got hurt and we're headed to the hospital. I tell him which one and that he might want to take a flight out here. I hang up. I call Jase and tell him what's going on. I tell him that I will call him as soon as we get to the hospital.

We finally pull into a parking space. We walk into the emergency doors. We check in and ask if she arrived yet. They tell us the ambulance should be pulling in. We stand near the doors and watch an ambulance pull up. They open the doors and slowly pull out a stretcher. A guy gets out and they close the back door.

They come thru the doors. I look at the stretcher and its Dani with her head wrapped up. I snap a picture of her with my phone and send it to Jase. The nurse comes over to us.

"How do you guys know her?" She asks.

"She's our sister." Chase says and tears are flowing down his face. Dylan walks over to us. Dani has already gone thru the doors.

"Are you capable of filling out the paperwork? " she asks.

"Yeah I can do it." I say and follow her over to the station. She hands me a release form to fill out so they can get her medical information from her doctors.

"Whose her guardian?" the nurse asks.

"My dad, he should be getting a flight out here." I tell her.

"Okay this is all I need until he gets here. Go take a seat. " she says.

"How long until I find what's going on?" I ask.

"As soon as they tell me anything I will let you know. " she says with a slight smile.

I walk over to Chase. He is no longer crying. He's just staring out the window. I look over to Dylan. He looks freaked out. He's covered in blood and I just noticed it. Dylan looks at me looking at him. He finally looks down and he sees the blood all over himself. His face is ghost white.

"I gotta go clean up." He says looking at the blood on his hands in shock. He didn't even notice the blood all over him until he realized what I was looking at. He's still just sitting there in shock. Chase is now staring at him. I get up and go out to the car. I grabbed track pants and a t-shirt. I might as well help him.

I go back in and he's still sitting there. Chase is still staring at him. "Chase.. Dylan. . Get up."

They stand up and we go to the nearest bathroom. "Wash your hands and arms."

Dylan looks down and turns the water on. He suddenly can't stop scrubbing. He starts crying. "I tried. I really tried. I should of just brought her to the bathroom myself. I was waiting for her to come back. It felt like she was gone awhile so I headed over to the foyer and thats when I saw her fall. The bitch up the stairs pushed her. All I heard was "I can't fly and her scream" I pushed my way thru as fast as I could. It was like she splattered. I went to her and took my shirt off and wrapped it around her head. I just wanted to stop the bleeding..the blood was everywhere. I realized her chest wasn't moving so I started CPR. Her ribs didn't break in the fall. They broke as I did the compressions. I felt them cracking under my hands. I just wanted her to breathe. "

I fell to the ground listening to him talk. I felt like my life was crashing all over again.
