Let him go (colton) im5

How it happened

It was around midnight, all the boys were driving back from a small holiday in a cabin. In the first car was Dalton and Cole, in the second car was Gabe, will, dana and David (this is an au). One minute they were chatting amongst themselves only for Gabe to slam the breaks on his car as daltons car went spiralling out of control.

Coles POV

the van came out of no where on the empty road, I hadn't had time to say anything before the van slammed into the the drivers side of the car. Daltons side. The car went spinning and my eyes started to close not before I heard dalton cry out in pain and the screeching of breaks. That's when it all went black I told myself to wake up I really did try but the pain shot through me from my ribs and left leg. I could hear people pulling at the doors but I couldn't open my eyes, where's dalton. Dalton. That's when I shot up and opened my eyes.

Gabes POV

"Somebody call a fucking ambulance!" My throat was hoarse from screaming, David and the others were still working on the doors and that's when an ambulance pulled up. After the ambulance police cars and fire engines arrived and they began cutting open the drivers door and the passenger door. Dana clung to my arm, eyes wide and curious he looked like a child again I held him up as his knees were giving out I only wanted to protect them all. Coles door was first to be opened, he was taken out and put on a stretcher although he kept screaming for dalton and moving around. This was all too much for us I never even noticed the paramedic approach until will shook me.

"I understand you are the friends of cole and dalton? We need someone to travel to the hospital with cole, to calm him down" the paramedic spoke softly. Will nodded at me and offered to go, I watched as will made his way to the first ambulance and stepped inside. Daltons door was opened and that's when the world slowed down, I couldn't hear the commotion just my own heart beat. A heartbeat? Did dalton still have one? Did cole?
No, no ,no of course they were ok, right? I mean they had to be. They were going to grow up and get married id be the best man at their wedding, well they haven't found that out yet. Dalton was on the stretcher as David took of running towards him followed by dana then me, dalton lay there looking pale and bruised, his blue eyes shut tight but his mouth slightly open. There was a trail of blood and soon dalton began making a gurgling noise and convulsing and he was rushed into and ambulance as we were told to follow in my car.

One look at David shaking and crying and dana gripping him told me I had to be the one to pull myself together. And so I drove and to be honest I wasn't sure I would stop.
