Before my friends arrived, I had been able to convince everyone that is was okay to be worried but not okay to cry over him.

The only person who could really understand the trauma was me. Seeing people cry, or mourn over him was breaking my heart, bringing back memories of our childhood, the fear of losing a twin, the love we shared for each other, it was all burning my heart, bringing back unwanted but excusable tears, there were a lot of what if's going through my head. I could only pray that I'll see my brother tomorrow, and that thought breaks my heart, what if ...

"Oh my God, Krystal" Charis runs up to me, wrapping me in a much needed hug. I reciprocate the hug. "Are you okay, I mean yeah you're obviously not okay, but how do you feel, uuuhhh, obviously not fine, you know what I'm bad at these things" she said all of this in one breath holding my face with her palms.

"Give way for the expert" Zack says, pushing Charis away. He hugs me "how is he now, has the doctor said anything yet" he caresses my face gently.

"No, they aren't done yet, but I have faith he'll be alright" I said with tears prickling my eyes.

"Told you guys she is the holiest among us" Roderick scoffs "She's literally talking about faith, right now,.when she should be ripping her hair out of her skull, thinking of ways to murder the girl who hit him" He places his palms into his front pocket.

"Speaking of the girl who hit him, have you seen or talked to her, since" Zeph asked.

"Damn, I haven't," I pull away from Zack, "how could I have forgotten such essential detail" Rubbing my forehead with my right palm of my hand, I do a 360 with my head, facing them.

"Can you guys do something for me"

"Yeah sure, what is it?"

Awhh, they always give me their full attention.

"Right so I need your help in finding out exactly what happened to her and where I can find her" I dictate "can you do that for me?, please"

"It's okay, Krystal, we're always here for you" Scarlett clasps my shoulder in her palms, "right guys?"

There was a series of murmurs of yeah, yes, right,

You know the usual.

I give them a very grateful smile, before heading towards the door of the emergency room. On getting there, the doctor rushes out and my heart skips a bit. I run back behind the doctor waiting for the news, that will either make my day, or break my heart.

"Family of Kevin Adams"

"Oh my God, right here, over here" I could feel my heart beating a thousand miles, like it would blow out of it's ribcage, my ears ringing, my head reeling with so many questions like what if...my body was definitely not acting as one now. With my body shaking, I dragged my myself to the doctor waiting for the answer to all my what if's.

"Well after all the measures we've taken in trying to save the young man"

Okay, that is one saadd way of telling us he's dead, gone, passed away, kicked th-

"Oh my God" my mum cried

I knew it, evil...

In all my thoughts of calling the doctor evil, I did realise the familiar celebration of boys after their fanclub scores a goal, which is saying something.

"What happened" I ask my elder brothers. They look amused as they told me what the doctor said.

I couldn't believe my ears, or I could,
