Hold On

Hold On

Song: Hold On by Chord Overstreet

WARNING: This is a sad one.

Loving and fighting

Accusing, denying

I can't imagine a world with you gone

The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of

I'd be so lost if you left me alone

You locked yourself in the bathroom

Lying on the floor when I break through

I pull you in to feel your heartbeat

Can you hear me screaming "Please don't leave me"

"What happened, Foster? Where's Brett?" Asked an overly worried Matthew Casey.

"I...I..umm." Mumbled Emily.

"Foster, it's okay just take a breath." Soothed a gentle Kidd as she wrapped her arms around Foster and cradled her like her life depended on it.

ONE HOUR BEFORE

"Hey, Captain should I wait and bring the candy in or bring it in right now?" Asked Kidd.

"Ehh, bring it in right now, Kidd. It will give them something to be excited over while we talk through this boring packet of stuff."

Most of firehouse fifty-one was out giving fire safety presentations to schools around the city.

"I can't believe squad got Elm Creek High and we got Brookside Elementary on the complete other side of the city over an hour away." Cried an irritated Mouch as he had to miss his favorite TV show for the fourth day in a row.

"Oh, come on Mouch. It shouldn't take long, we go in, introduce ourselves, go through the packet, and hand out candy." Said Kidd as she fumbled for her ever ringing phone in her left pants pocket.

"Kidd, is that your phone?" Carefully asked Casey.

"Sorry, Captain, I'm turning it off right..."

Kidd never finished that sentence as she looked at the message that followed the ringing.

"What is it, Kidd?" Asked Casey as he collected all of the papers out of the truck for them to make their way into the front of the school.

"It's um...it's..."

"Christ, Kidd who was it?" Cautiously asked Mouch.

"It was from Foster. She said that...Brett's in the hospital. There was an accident on their last call before they made their way to join squad."

Casey dropped everything in his hands. He felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest.

"What do you mean she's in the hospital? Is she okay? What's wrong? What happened?" He rushed out.

"I...don't know. She said we should make our way there as soon as we can."

Everyone practically flew back to the truck. Kidd got in the driver's seat, turned the lights on, and floored it out of the school parking lot.

"I'll have Boden call the school and explain." Offered Mouch as he already had Chief Boden's contact pulled up on his phone.
