Saving Janice

Chapter two

Three months later...

I was driving back from soccer practice, trying to beat Bobby home, its like a tradition and whoever losses has to clean the boy's bathroom. It was sunny out, and the leaves were falling, I love this time of year, autumn is my favorite, hands down. I was driving down the road, not going more then forty-five, when a car rammed into the back of mine, I slammed into the car in front of me, I remember hearing shouting and watching the red and yellow leaves fall from the trees, before everything faded.

~Bobby's POV~

I had made it home before her...this never happens, I shake off the feeling then held my head as this horrible pain took over. I lean up against my car, as suddenly as the pain had come, it was gone, I ignored it, it was just a headache. I walked into the house and hear John freaking out over the phone.

"Which hospital?" Is she concious?!" Oh my god, what the hell happened?

"Hey John, whats wrong?" i asked.

"I'll be right there." He ended the call and glared at me, "Get the boys ready and meet me at the Jefferson Hospital, no questions." He then left. Ok, why would we need to be at the hospital? I got Joe and Drew and we got into my Jeep and drove off. We park and walk into the hospital, I had no idea where I'm going but then I heard John's angry voice.

"I don't care of shes in operation I need to see her!" He shouted at the receptionist. I ran up to him and pulled at his arm.

"I'm sorry ma'am, hes just upset." I appoligized then dragged John away to question him. I hadn't seem him this upset since...Mom and Dad died.

"John, What the hell man! Whats going on." John shook his head and leaned against the wall.

"Janice." Was all he said. My heart sank.

"W-what about her, is she alright? What happened?" John just shook his head.

"I don't know, I just got the call when you walked in, they said she was in an accident. They didn't say anything else." I couldn't breathe, my twin sister was in an accident, and its my fault.

"This is all my fault." I said and put my head in my hands. John wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"No, Bobby, its not."

"yes it is, we were racing home, I should've never raced her." I felt tears slip from my eyes.

I lost my mom and dad and now I could loose my sister too, the only one who understood me, us, each and everyone of us, she was a mother to all. She helped Joe out when he went through his wrestling stage, she helped Drew with his homework and she even helped me practice soccer, rain nor snow would stop her. All four of us waited untill the doctor came out and called John over. Drew was asleep, his head on my lap, Joe was coping in his own way. It may not have seemed like it, but Jay ment more to Joe then anyone, He was closest to mom so when she died...well it ruined him, Jay was the only one aloud in his room for months, he only ever talked to her. Yea they argued but what sibiling doesn't, they were close, probably even closer then Jay and I were. He was staring out a window, stone faced. I knew he was taking this harder then anyone. John came over and told us that we could see her now. I could tell there was more but he didn't say anything else. I picked Drew up and carried him, following John, with Joe sulking behind me. We walked into the room, I laid Drew down on the couch to let him sleep, it was late. John took a chair on Jay's right, and Joe took the left side. She seemed so hurt, her head was bandaged, her arm in a cast, she had scratches and stitches over her forehead and cheeks. Her lip was busted, and all I could think was how it was my fault. John held her hand and smoothed her hair from her face. She didn't even flinch, she was in a coma, had to be. I felt so guilty, How could I let this happen? John looked over at me and stood up, pulling me into a hug, thats when I realized I was crying again. I never believed in that whole twin connection, but it was the only thing that explained why my head was hurting so bad just a few hours ago.

"Its not your fault Bobby, it really isn't, some jackass rammed into her and she hit the car in front of her, both cars were fine but she was sandwiched. Theres nothing you could have done to change this." I cried harder and held him closer, John was the closest thing to dad I had right now, I don't know how we would survive without Janice, shes everything to this broken, fucked up family. I heard a sob and saw Joe wiping away tears. I knew he would brake, they were so closes. I ran over to him and pulled him into a hug, he cried into my shoulder. I stared at Jay's body, she seemed so broken and frail. Then she turned her head and groaned. Everyone turned to her, she was waking up. Her eyes fluttered ipen then closed again.

"Myles..." She moaned. Now there was a name I hadn't heard in ages. Myles was Jay's best friend, as close as she was to Joe, Jay always was closer to Myles, they did everything together, He helped her through her depression after our parents died, but he moved two years ago, Broke her heart, I think she was in love with him, but she never admitted it, said they were just really great friends. I just wish she would wake up, I can't take all this waiting. I have to know shes alright, Just so I can keep my sanity. We all ended up falling asleep in the room, all except Joe. I felt bad for the kid, Jay was like a mother to him, his friend, his everything. Nobody wants to loose her, none of us do, but all we can do is wait and pray.
