"What- what do you mean?" Jack gripped the wheel even tighter, starting to slow the car after they were a good distance away from the home,

"When we got in the car, I tried to wake him up, I said his name, I shook him, I've tried everything." Alex started struggling to breathe, his gasps were shallow and short, Jack moved one hand off the steering wheel and placed it on Alex's thigh, he had to stay calm, someone has to be able to take care of both the younger boys.

"Okay, Lex, just breathe for me," Jack exaggerated some deep breaths until Alex fell in the same rhythm, "It's okay, I'm sure it's something minor, it's okay."

Jack took the sharp right to the hospital, parking in the emergency lane, "Get him in there, I'll be right there babe, I promise."

Alex scuttled out of the car and grabbed Tom out of the car as carefully and quickly as possible. He ran quickly into the hospital, and Jack finally found a place to park. He grabbed his ID, as well as Alex's school ID, and Alex's bookbag. He dropped his keys in the bag, slung the bag over one shoulder, and sprinted to the hospital.

When he entered he saw a young doctor taking Tom from Alex, and putting him on a hospital bed, a few more doctors rushed over and started moving tom into a small room area, separated by some curtains. Alex tried to run after them but he was stopped,

"Listen I know you're scared but you need to stay here. Is there anyone here with you?"Jack raised his hand up towards the woman, and she told Alex to come join him. He latched onto me and just started bawling.

Jack held him tight to his chest, silently hushing him with fingers in his hair and a hand on his back. Alex suddenly shot out of his grip and started running towards the room, he ran into the curtained area,

"Sir you can't be he-"

"He's diabetic! Type two," The man turned around quickly,

"Someone test his glucose, and do it now! And I'm sorry but you need to leave so we can get him taken care of," Alex nodded and walked back to Jack.

Soon a Lady walked up to both of the boys, "I'm going to need you to fill out some paperwork... Are either of you his father?" She looked them both up and down,

"I'm his older brother,"

"Do you have a parent you can contact?"

"No ma'am"

"Okay," She handed over a clipboard, "What is your relation, sir?" She motioned at Jack,

"I'm this ones boyfriend,"

"Okay, well," She looked at the blond haired boy, who simply spoke his name in response, "Alex, I need you to fill out everything you can, I need to ask you a few questions" She took Jack with her into an empty room with a large table.

Jack sat across from the lady and sat the bag on the table, pulling out their IDs, "I don't know if youll need these but," she nodded and took the cards, looking at each quickly and sliding them back to Jack.

"May I ask why you two brought the patient in?"

"His name is Tom, but he and Alex don't have a very healthy home life. Alex called me to come pick him up while his mom was on a drunken screaming fit." Jack sat his arm on the table.

"When I got there I could hear the yelling, Alex still had his phone with him so I could hear things a little clearer than otherwise, he yelled my name so I came running in. His mom had him cornered," The raven haired boy started to shake and his eyes started brimming with tears, "I pulled Alex away from her and he grabbed tom and ran. As soon as I heard my car doors shut I ran after them." Jack was silently crying, just tears running down his face. "Can I file a police report?"

"Yes, you can. I can get in contact with a few officers if you'd like. You and Alex are both minors though. If Alex and Tom have nowhere to go they will be placed in a foster care system."

"No, no, I live alone, I'm eighteen in less than a month, could they stay with me?"

"Sir, you're not related to either of them, but I can see what the options would be. Allow me a little bit to get in contact with a few officers for you."
