is it meant to be? (BajanCanadian Fanfiction)

Chapter Nineteen

Ashleigh's point of view-

After talking to Jerome I came out from his room and walked downstairs. Mitch was sitting on the couch with his hands covering his face but slowly pulled his hands away as I started walking towards him,
"Matt isn't answering me" Mitch looked worried.
"I'll text him" I answered while pulling my phone out of my pocket. I opened my contacts and clicked on Matt's,
I'm sorry :(
Hoping he would answer I sat staring at my phone for about ten minutes. Eventually Mitch turned to me,
"Ash, he'll be okay.." he trailed off.

It had been half an hour since I texted Matt, I started to worry. Mitch put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him, I leant my head on his shoulder. As this was happening my phone started to ring, hoping it was Matt I jumped up and reached for my phone. I looked down at my phone, it wasn't Matt but I answered anyway,
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Ashleigh Nooch?"
"Yes it is, who is this?"
"My name is Jess, I work at the Montreal Emergency Services."
"Why are you calling me then?"
"Your brother Matt Nooch, has been in a car accident."
"WHAT?! WHEN?!" I was starting to freak out.
"About forty-five minutes ago"
"I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!!" I hung up and turned to Mitch who looked worried.
"Matt, h-he's been in a car accident" I felt a tear stream down my face. Mitch hugged me for a second and then sat up,
"I'll go get Jerome..."
As soon as we walked through the emergency doors I ran to the front desk,

"Matt Nooch, where is he?!"
"Room 374" the lady at the counter answered as she pointed down the hall. I ran down the hall with Mitch and Jerome chasing after me. I got to the door and stopped, I slowly turned around and leant against the door. Mitch and Jerome looked at me,
"What's wrong?" they both said in unison.
"What if he doesn't want to see me, I mean he's mad at me.." I slid down the door and sat on the ground. Jerome squatted next to me,
"What if the only thing he wants to do is see you?"
"But it's my fault he's here... why would he.." I looked up at Jerome. Mitch squatted on the other side of me,
"Do you want Jerome to go in first, then if he wants to see you he will call you in?" at this I nodded and moved away from the door so Jerome could go in. I sat on the seat nearest to Matt's door, Mitch followed.

I was staring blankly at the door, when Jerome pops his head out and waves for me to come in. I slowly stood up and walked in. I looked at Matt and saw bruises all over him,
"MATTIE!!!" I screamed as I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him. He let out a sigh of pain and I pulled away,
"Sorry.." Matt looked over my shoulder at Jerome and waved for him to go out,
"Ash...."
"I'M SORRY!!!! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU BU-" I was cut off by Matt.
"Maybe we should talk about this when I'm not in the hospital" he grinned. I nodded and sat at the end of his bed.
