Chapter 16
Austin's POV
I sat and watched as Alan held Mason. Tears were pouring out of all of our eyes, but Alan seemed on the verge of insanity. He clutched Mason as if he could bring him back. I don't know if he realized it or not but Mason had finally slipped away.
I cried harder and Cole was in a state of shock. He clung to me and I clung right back.
"I love you Mase. Don't leave" Alan kept on muttering and it was heartbreaking. Cole wiggled in my grasp and I loosened my arms. He went beside of Alan and took Mason's hand.
"Bubby I love you. You are the best brother ever." He cried and kissed Mason's forehead. This made Alan cry harder and I scooted behind him. I held him and he tightened his grip on Mason.
Finally I heard the sirens and saw the lights to the Ambulance. It pulled in and the paramedics raced over to us.
"Sorry for the wait. Got here as soon as we could. Truck was down." One explained and Alan flinched in my arms.
"Well while your fucking truck was down my brother was fighting for his life!" He yelled. "My seven year old brother!" He screamed. One paramedic put a hand on his shoulder but Alan smacked it away.
They then went for Mason and Alan clung to him. I held Alan as they took Masons lifeless body and put it on a gurney. They then started to load Cole up. Cole was crying but otherwise he was quiet and didn't refuse.
"Sir? Would you like to ride in the ambulance? We technically have to take you both in one but there aren't any others available." He looked over us both. "Neither of you seem to be in desperate need of care." I nodded and helped a crying Alan stand up.
"C-can I ride w-with Mason?" He asked the paramedic softly. He looked to the others and they nodded sadly. I squeezed his hand and he let go and took a seat in the other ambulance and they took off. I climbed in beside of Cole. I watched as the paramedics checked over Cole. They cleaned up some of the cuts and set his arm, which was apparently broken.
The ride was short seeing as we were only five minutes away. I followed the paramedics and they had me stay in the waiting room until they checked over Cole. I looked around the room for Alan's red hair and saw him in a corner chair with his knees pulled to his chest.
I walked over and he looked up at me before jumping into my embrace and burying his head in my chest. I held him tightly and didn't say a word. We eventually moved to a seat. Even though it was probably uncomfortable for him he sat in my lap. I ran my fingers through his hair and he stayed silent.
"Oh Alan! Thank god you're here!" A voice shrieked. Alan looked up and a dark haired woman ran towards him. "Your Momma is in room 302. Honey why are you crying?" Alan just shook his head and I got up sitting him on the seat and went to softly talk to the woman.
"There was umm there was a car accident." Her eyes widened.
"The boys?" I nodded. "The twins where are they?"
"Cole is getting checked at the moment and Mason he..." even though it wasn't confirmed by a doctor I was pretty sure. "He umm h-he didn't make it." I felt a tear drop down my cheeks and the woman flew to Alan. She Kissed his forehead and spoke to him softly. After a while she pulled away and came back over to me.
"His Momma isn't doing good. They don't expect her to leave the hospital. When you wish to go see her go right ahead." She patted my shoulder and smiled a small smile before walking towards the exit.
I walked over to Alan and he hugged me tightly. We sat like that, his arms around me as I was running my fingers through his hair, until a doctor called out the name Ashby. We stood up lowly and I slipped an arm around Alan's waist he needed the support.
"Mr. Ashby Cole is doing just fine. We only had to stitch up a cut on his left leg and one on his cheek. Unfortunately his arm did break but it was a clean break so that's good. We put a cast on and besides being bruised and sore he will be just fine."
"W-what about M-Mason?" Alan said quietly and gripped my arm. The doctor gave us a sad look.
"By the time he got to us he was to far gone to save. I'm sorry for your loss."
Tears started to silently fall down Alan's face and as the doctor turned away he called him back.
"Do you know anything about my mom, Rachel?" (I can't remember if I gave his mom a name yet and I lost my notes on this story, so if I did and this isn't right please tell me and I will fix it!). The doctors face fell and he looked to Alan.
"Surly you're not the boys the patient in 302 has been asking about? Since she was admitted all he has asked about was where her boys were. Alan, Cole, and Mason..." he trailed off and then rubbed a hand over his face.
"Will she be okay?" Alan asked alarmed.
"Son I don't know if I sh-"
"Tell me now! It can't get much worse! What is she going to do? Die on me too!" Alan said hysterically. The doctor looked to me and then Alan before hesitantly opening his mouth.
"It doesn't look as if she's going to make through tomorrow." Alan's knees buckled and he fell to the cold white tiles.
