I look up to see mom running inside the emergency room.
"Mom!" I cry as I run to her.
I cry softly.
"Jesse, Ricky, and Ezra all had to go into surgery," I cry.
She smooths my hair and sits me down.
"Who had the worst?" Mom asks.
"Ricky didn't have on his seatbelt, and he flew out the window," Luke says.
I cry even harder. How could this happen?
"Ezra is awake," One of the nurses tells us two hours later.
"Where is he?" I ask.
"426."
I practically run to his room, Luke and Chase right behind me.
"Ezra!" I exclaim when I see him.
He has bruises and cuts all over his face, and he has a cast on his leg.
I engulf him in a hug and cry.
"How's Jesse and Ricky?" he immediately asks.
"Still in surgery," Chase says.
"Ricky flew out the window," I whisper.
"Dammit! I told him to put his seatbelt on," Ezra says.
"It's not your fault," I hug him.
"It's all that stupid cars fault," Ezra grits his teeth.
I pace around the room.
"Jo, you need to sit," Luke says, placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I just wanna know if my brother and my boyfriend are okay," I frown.
A tear rolls down my cheek.
My mom comes in the room.
"Jesse is out of surgery," she gives a small smile.
"I'll be back soon," I give Ezra a kiss on the cheek, and the boys stay with him.
I follow mom to Jesse's room.
I see him asleep on the hospital bed.
"He should be waking up soon," mom rubs my back.
I see that Jesse has cuts and bruises everywhere, and he's got an arm and leg cast.
I get up on the hospital bed and lay next to him.
"Please wake up soon," I whisper.
"He's waking up," mom says to me around an hour later.
I rush back to the bed.
Jesse's eyes slowly open.
"Hey soldier," I smile.
"What happened?" he asks.
"Car wreck," I whisper.
"How are the other two?" he asks immediately.
"Ezra's fine, but Ricky is still in surgery," I say.
Jesse uses his good arm to pull me into a hug.
"Are you in pain?" I ask.
"Duh," he chuckles.
"I'm so glad you're okay," I smile.
"Me too," he smiles.
A nurse comes into the room, Luke and Chase behind her.
"We have some bad news about Ricky," the nurse says.
I look up at her.
"He's in a coma, and he may not wake up."
My legs literally give out, and I fall to the floor. Tears pour down my face.
"Why couldn't he have put on his fucking seatbelt!" I scream.
Luke wraps me up and I cry into his arms.
At one point I try to punch things and I scream, but Luke holds me as still as possible.
"Why me? Why did this happen?!" I scream.
"Sweetheart come here," Jesse says.
I slowly walk to him and he puts his non broken arm around me.
"He'll be okay," Jesse says.
"You don't know that!" I fume.
"Shh," Jesse hugs me and rubs my back.
"Can we go see him?" I ask mom.
She talks to a nurse outside.
"Luke and Chase, will you go with Jo?" mom asks them.
"Of course," Luke smiles.
"ROom 395."
Luke grabs my hand and we all walk to Ricky's room.
I gasp as I walk inside.
I see bruises, cuts, casts, and lots of wires.
"Ricky," I whisper.
I start to cry and Chase pulls me in for a hug.
"Why did this happen?" I whisper.
Chase rubs my back.
"It helps if you talk to him. He still can hear you," a nurse smiles sweetly.
I walk over to Ricky.
Luke and Chase go out in the hallway, so we can be alone.
"Ricky, please wake up. You can't leave me here," I say, hoping he'll wake up.
He doesn't even move, so I continue.
"Your little boy and little girl need you. Your friends need you. I need you. You can't leave us here. You've gotta fight. Fight for me, for your kids, and for everyone else. Please, stay."
A tear rolls down my cheek.
I kiss his cheek and sit down in the chair next to his. I cry and Luke steps back in.
"We're gonna go see Ezra and Jesse, you wanna come?" Luke asks.
"No thanks," I give a small smile.
"Are you okay?" Luke asks.
I shake my head no and Luke hugs me.
"He'll be okay," Luke assures me.
"I hope so."
