All Time Low Imagines

Please Be Okay (Part One)

Alex's P.o.v-

I sighed as I drove down the street to Townsend University. I was supposed to pick up my sister Y/N after she was done with her classes. It was way past the time she was supposed to call me, and it was actually starting to scare me. She might have got a ride with someone else and her phone died. I was at least going to ask one of her teachers if they saw her leave with someone.

"There has been a shooting at Townsend University today. Fourteen were wounded, and another ten are dead. The suspect was captured. We will bring you more news as soon as we can." The news reporter cut into the song that was playing. I slammed on my breaks at the news. Tears filled my eyes as I finally let it sink in.

"No. Please. No." I kept repeating to myself as I drove as fast as I could to the school. I parked the car as fast as I could and ran out of the car. Students were running out of the school, and police officers were running into the school. I didn't pay any attention as I ran past students and knocked into them. I had to find my sister.

"Sir you need to stop." A cop said stepping in front of me. I shook my head and tried to push past him.

"My sisters in there. I need to know if she's okay." I shouted as a cop tried to pull me away. I let out a chocked sob as I saw someone being put into an ambulance covered in blood. It was her. Tears poured down my cheeks and it was becoming harder to breathe.

"Stop. My sister's in that ambulance. Where are they taking her?" I shouted trying to push past him again. He held onto my arm roughly and pulled me aside. I dropped down to the ground and pulled at my hair as I sobbed into my knee's. She's the only person I have left. I need her.

"They're taking her to St. Mary's hospital. Do you have someone who can drive you?" He asked rubbing my back softly. I nodded and shakily pulled out my phone. I dialed Jack's number and put my phone to my ear.

"Hello?" He mumbled sleepily into the phone. I let out a loud sob and covered my mouth as the cop left me.

"Alex? Alex, what's wrong?" Jack asked quickly. I tried to calm myself from crying so hard but I couldn't.

"I need you to take me to the hospital. I'm at Y/N's school. There was a shooting and she was shot. Fuck. I need to go the hospital." I sobbed pulling at my hair harder. I felt like I was going to pass out. My chest felt like it was caving in on itself, and I was gasping for air through every sob.

"Okay. I'm on my way. I need you to calm down. Breathe for me. Can you breathe for me?" He kept asking as I heard shuffling. I was trying to breathe. I couldn't breathe though. 

"I'll be there in five minutes, okay?" He asked and I could hear the fear in his voice. I nodded even though he couldn't see me.

"I'm on my way. Breathe for me." He said and hung up. I dropped my phone as I watched more people being wheeled out of the school. I sobbed into my knee's and rocked myself back and forth as I waited for Jack. I need him.

"Alex?" Jack called out. I jumped up and ran over to him. I tackled him into a hug and sobbed into his shoulder. He hugged me tightly and rubbed my back.

"Let's go to the hospital, okay? Zack and Rian are gonna meet us there." He whispered into my ear. I wiped my nose with my sleeve and nodded. Jack helped me walk over to his car and I got inside. I curled into a ball and tried to control my breathing. My heart was racing, I was gasping for air, and I was shaking.

"She's gonna be fine." Jack assured me as we drove to the hospital. All I could think about was her covered in blood on the gernie. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing as we drove to the hospital. When we got there Zack, Rian, and Cassadee were waiting inside.

"My sister Y/N Gaskarth was brought in from the shooting. Is she okay? Can I see her?" I asked the lady at the front desk. She frowned and typed something into her computer.

"She just got out of surgery and is in the intesive care unit. The bullet seemed to pass through her lung, and they were able to stop the bleeding. You may see her. She is in room 314. Fith floor." She said frowning up at me. I nodded and ran for the elevator. I need to see her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You sure you wanna see her Alex? She's in a coma." Jack asked as we stood outside her door. I wiped my cheeks and nodded. I had to see her.

"Do you want us to go in with you?" Cassadee asked rubbing over my hand with her thumb. I thought about it for a moment, before I shook my head.

"Can you wait out here for me?" I asked looking up at Jack. He smiled sadly and nodded. I know Rian, Cassadee, and Zack had to leave. I just needed someone with me. Jack would have to be that person.

"Yeah. Take all the time you need. I'm gonna go get a coffee, okay?" Jack asked. I just nodded and walked inside the room. Tears filled my eyes as I closed the door behind me. She was laying on the bed lifeless. She was pale, and had so many tubes going into her mouth and nose.

"Fuck Y/N." I whispered as I sat down next to her. She didn't look like herself. I was so used to seeing her as this girl that was always bright, and happy, and now she's so pale. I grabbed her hand and just held it. What if this is the last time I see her? What if something happens to her? What if she never wakes up? I let out a chocked sob and laid my head onto her bed.

"Fuck! I need you to wake up!" I sobbed into the bed. I flinched as I felt someone start rubbing my back. Jack was standing behind me and staring at Y/N. He had tears in his eyes. Y/N was his bestfriend as well.

"I wanna go." I whispered wiping at my eyes. Jack wiped at his eyes and nodded. We didn't say anything to each other as we walked to his car and got inside. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the head rest as Jack drove us to his house.

"Do you wanna change?" Jack asked softly as we walked inside. I shook my head and made my way into the spare bedroom he was letting me sleep in. I closed the door behind me and collapsed onto the bed. I whimpered and pulled my knee's into my chest.

"Fuck!"
