My Brother's Best Friend ( A Luke Hemmings Fanfic )

Chapter 14

Warning: Story May Include Self-Harm Triggers

(Luke's POV)

I push Sydney back under the water while laughing. After what happened earlier I'm slightly worried, but she seems okay now. I'm just glad I could help her.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't realize until a few minutes later that Syd still hasn't resurfaced. I start freaking out and pull her out of the water.

I go to check her pulse and notice a bunch of cuts on her wrists. It takes me a minute to realize what they are, and even when I do, I hope it isn't true. Not my perfect little angel.

The boys rush over as soon as they see me freaking out, and I yell at Michael to call 000. (A.N. That's 911 to my fellow Americans) He runs inside as I carry Sydney out of the pool. Ashton is having a meltdown, and Calum is trying to calm him down.

Everyone is panicking. Once we hear sirens, we all rush to the front of the house. They load her onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. They say only one person can ride with her, so I tell Ashton he should be the one.

He refuses, saying he has to drive the other boys. He runs to his car, which the other boys are already in, and takes off. I practically jump in the ambulance, and just break down.

She looks so peaceful lying there. Like an angel who has fallen to the earth. I wonder if I could have saved her. Maybe if I had told her I loved her instead of being a coward, she wouldn't have done this to herself.

Sometimes all we need is love from someone new. Someone who will make us feel like we're actually accepted and we actually belong. I really do love her, and I wish I would have told her that before.

While I've been thinking, the ambulance has made it to the hospital. Her stretcher was wheeled out and taken to a room. I quickly follow until I get to the outside of her room and the doctors say I can't go any farther because they're doing surgery.

I see the boys sitting down a few feet away and run over to them. Ashton is still having a meltdown and the other two are trying to comfort him and freak out at the same time. We're all a mess. Ashton and I are the worst though. Ashton because he's her brother, me because... I love her.

The only reason I haven't told her is because of Ashton's 'don't lay a hand on my sister or else' speech. It left us all scared and unwilling to date her. But it could never leave me unwilling to love her.

We just sit there crying for a couple hours, until a doctor comes out. He looks at us gravely and says, "I'm sorry...

She's in a coma."

A.N. So what did you guys think? I'm hoping to be able to update more often, but we'll see. I know what's gonna happen in the next chapter, and it gonna give us all feels. So what do you think will happen? Will she ever wake up? All we can do is hope.

Goodbye my lovely penguins!! Enjoy!!
