Chapter title: Broken promises
Disclaimer: I Don't own the Jonas Brothers but I do own pictures of them that I have actually kissed. Pathetic right?
Kevin opened his eyes despite the throbbing pain in his entire body. He looked up and saw his second youngest brother also carefully getting up because of the pain in his body.
He had a bad feeling in his stomach and then realized he was missing a baby brother.
"Nick, where's Joe?" Kevin asked panicky.
"I don't know," Nick answered voice shaking out of fear for his brother.
"Joe? Joey? JOE? JOSEPH ADAM ANSWER ME! "Kevin yelled as the tears poured down even though he could barely move he got up and started to search for his younger brother in the wreckage.
"Kevin, what are you doing?" Nick asked.
"I'm finding Joe. So stay there," Kevin answered harshly.
Nick just lay back on the limo seat and silently prayed for Joe. He could faintly hear the sounds of sirens as he watched his oldest brother cry as he franticly search for Joe in all of the trash on the floor of the limo.
Kevin hated crying in front of Nick, but he couldn't help it. The tears just kept coming. He had almost given up hope when he was a shoe sticking out of the wreckage.
Kevin launched where the foot is and threw everything off of the rest of Joe's body. It broke Kevin's heart to see the condition that Joe was in. There was blood all over his body and his left leg obviously broken from the angle in was in.
Kevin gathered Joe's beaten body into his arms and sobbed. About three seconds after Kevin found Joe the paramedics finally arrived. One team went to the front of the limo to attend tot he unconscious driver and the other two teams went to the boys in the back.
Their first concern was Joe because he was obviously hurt worse than his brothers. Kevin reluctantly let go of Joe only knowing that the paramedics were as of right now his little brother's only chance for survival.
After Joe was all loaded on the ambulance, the remaining team started checking Kevin and Nick over. They made them ride in another ambulance so a few things could be checked out, like Nick's shoulder and Kevin's wrist.
Kevin and Nick met up in the waiting room 15 minutes after arriving at the hospital Nick shoulder was slightly bruised but if he was careful would heal quickly and Kevin's wrist was just a sprain so he had to wear a brace.
Kevin had a hand placed on Nick's uninjured shoulder because he was afraid that if he wasn't touching him Nick would disappear and he would find out that Nick actually was hurt bad like Joe. Kevin was definitely grateful for that, but if he could he'd switch places with Joe in a second.
Kevin looked up as the waiting room doors slide open and his parents walk in with frantic looks on their faces. His dad stops them and he sees relief in his father's eyes until he realizes that one of his kids is missing. Kevin saw his father count him and Nick at least 8 times on the way to them just hoping that 2 would magically turn into 3.
Before Kevin and Nick got a chance to talk to their parents a doctor hurriedly walks out with a clip board in his hands and wants to talk to JUST their parents.
The two boy watch as their mother franticly signs something and practically shoves it back at the doctor and the doctor runs away. What made this even more confusing for Kevin was both of his parents had thanked the doctor, but why? Does that mean Joe's ok? Maybe those were Joe release forms or something?
"Mom what was that about?" Nick asked.
"Joe has internal bleeding and needs surgery to survive and doctors can't operate without consent forms so I signed them," Denise answered holding back tears so she wouldn't scare her children.
Three hours later Nick and their mother were both asleep and Kevin was crying freely into his hands.
He felt his father start to rub his back to try to comfort him but, the truth is both Kevins knew that the only way to take away this pain was for Joe to come skipping out of those doors like his regular goofy self.
"Dad, I betrayed Joe tonight."
"What in the world are you talking about?" his dad asked with disbelief in his eyes.
"When I was 3 and Joe was 1, that day he fell when trying to walk. I calmed him down and told him I would always protect him," Kevin said through clenched teeth as more tears poured out of his eyes.
"You Can't protect your brothers from EVERYTHING. You can try, but it's not gonna happen. He's gotten hurt before, thankfully never this bad but he has gotten hurt and he's gonna overcome this just like he has with everything else," His father told him while looking him directly in his eyes.
"But I promised him Dad."
"Don't make a promise you can't keep. The one you made your brother you meant it, but it's impossible. You can still be there for him after he gets out of surgery, sit by his bed, and hold his hand and let him know you love him. You help him with anything he wants or needs. Help him recover. OK?? You're nor Superman Kevin and even he has his weaknesses," Kevin Sr. told his oldest son.
Kevin sat there soaking in everything his father had just told him. Sure it was true but a promise is a promise and Paul Kevin Jonas II doesn't break a promise, especially not to one of his little brothers.
Kevin looked up and saw the same doctor as before walk towards their family. Kevin quickly woke up Nick and his mother and everyone stood up with shaky knees to hear the news on Joe. They just waited to hear what the doctor had to say.
"Joseph is stable and in recovery. His left leg is broken in 11 places and will need reconstructive surgery later down the road once the swelling goes down. We were able to repair all of the bleeding and the collapsed lung which was caused by one of his five broken ribs without any complications."
The family breathed a sigh of relief until the doctor said this one word that
could possibly ruin their whole lives. "But...-
