Breaking the news

" Luke !! " I heard my mother call from downstairs, " What " I said more as a statement rather than a question, no answer i signed to myself and lazily got up heading downstairs. I saw my family sitting in the den " Yea? " I asked with a confusion my mother patted the seat next to her not looking up i saw tears gently roll down her cheek as i sat down she grabbed my hands tightly holding them in hers " whats going on? " I asked confused and scared of what was going to be said. I noticed the clock reading 5:00 " Wheres dad? Shouldn't he be home? " My mother broke down tears now flooding her cheeks she pulled me in a tight embrace holding onto my shirt for dear life i felt her tears soak my shoulder " Your father w-was i-in a c-car accident he- " she cut off now sobbing almost screaming " Is he in the hospital? We need to go see him! " I felt tears fall down my face not only knowing my dad was in a accident but seeing my mum like this she was crying loudly not wiping her face or even looking up from the floor " Luke sweetie " She gently grab my hands holding them softly in hers as she pulled me down thats when it hit me tears steaming down my face " No " I whispered holding my mum tightly not letting go " No please tell me please tell me he is coming home please " I cried out I felt my brothers weight lean on us " Im so s-sorry " Andy sobbed out I cried harder not wanting to believe it, my mother now holding on to all of us like her dear life depended on it crying harder then me and my brothers she was screaming out in pain and a broken heart. I sat there not knowing what to say or even do but cry and hold onto my now family of four. Thoughts running though my head wishing it was me not my dad the man who raised me, cared for me, held me when I got my first heart break the man i could always go to no matter what.

~ 2:00 am ~

I lied there in complete darkness my face swollen from crying still hearing my mum crying in her room, I picked up my phone going to my voicemail i clicked on the one my dad left me the weekend before " Hey luke tell your mum ill be working a little late tonight its been really busy lately and they need the extra hands but tell your mum ill bring home nandos and i shouldn't be to late but i love you son see you in a few" I felt my tears coming in harder now burning my cheeks the words " i love you son see you in a few " replying in my head, Why? Why couldn't he have been working late he could be home right now it could have been a normal day! I was now crying out in pain, I heard my door open seeing my mum still crying as she came over and layed next to me holding onto me as i cried into her shoulder once more.
