The day Jamie had been waiting for was finally here, his first NFL Game and what really made it sweet was his two older brothers were taking him, he already planned out his outfit, it was going to wear his number 84 Fred Baxter Jersey with jeans and his converses.
"Okay, Bye mom!" fifth-teen year old Jamie Reagan yelled running down the steps.
"You guys are off so soon." Mary poked her head out from the kitchen.
"We'll we have to pick up a few things before the game." Danny added.
"I call shotgun!" Jamie yelled, referring to the passenger front seat.
"Nope."
"Why not!" Jamie whined.
"Because i'm older." Danny laughed.
"Joe! Come on." Jamie looked at him, it was Joe's car after all.
"That between you two." Joe didn't want to play sides.
"Alright you three, get going you don't want to miss the game." The three boys kissed their mother goodbye and was on the road to East Rutherford, New jersey where Metlife stadium was located home of the New York Jets. The whole ride there the three went on and on about how good the game was going to be, when they arrived to the stadium it was the average tailgating, food drinks crazy friends, the three brother have been planing this for a while now, just to get out of the city and enjoy their favorite team on NFL sunday. After the Game it was hectic, Jets fans were pumped by the blowout win against Raiders. The car ride home was filled with laughter and talks about the game.
"Fred baxter had three touchdowns and four interceptions, the guy's a beast." Jamie went on.
"Yeah makes me miss my football days." Danny added.
"What football days?" Joe and Jamie chuckled.
"Senior year when i took my team to state and what are you laughing at golden boy, you're playing baseball."
"Pro and high school are two different things and What's wrong with baseball?" Jamie was offended.
"Yeah what's wrong with baseball." Joe repeated in Jamie's defense, Danny rolled his eyes, Joe always took Jamie's side.
"Did i say anything was wrong with-" Danny paused seeing a grey SUV out of the corner of his eye, coming through the intersection when they had the Green light neither brother had time to brace for impact as the speeding SUV slammed into the right side of the car, the SUV hit little more towards the back seat where Jamie sat, The car spinned around twice.
Moment or minutes later he had no idea, Joe woke to the sound of a car horn blaring out, He struggled to open his eyes and found his head resting on the steering wheel, realising he tried to lift his head to make the noise stop. He was relieved when it stopped but now it was replaced with his head feeling like it was about to explode and the effort of trying to keep his head up. He was wondering if it would be easier to rest his head on the steering wheel and try and ignore the deafening tones of the horn, or try and stay how he was when he realised where he was and what had just happened, he knew he had to lift his head, he had to check on Danny and Jamie. He tried to move but a sharp pain pounded through his neck causing him to take a sharp intake of breath and close his eyes again. It took a couple of minutes but he slowly managed to open his eyes again, the need to check on Danny and Jamie overrode the pain he was feeling and he knew had to try and angle his eyes in a way he didn't think possible to avoid moving his neck anymore so as he could look to his right to check on Siblings. He managed to get just a glimpse of him before he couldn't hold his head up any longer, he looked back, Danny looked to be waking up while Jamie was unconscious his head was back against the seat at an awkward angle and there blood covering his face, his dirty blonde hair now dark. Joe's older brother instincts wanted to kick in, he wanted to help baby brother and make sure he was alive, but he just couldn't keep his head up any longer, and the steering wheel looked like the most appealing place to just lean his head on for two minutes,
"Danny! Jamie!" all Joe could do was scream for his Brothers he leant his head down carefully, he closed his eyes tightly on hearing the sound of the horn again, but as the pain from his neck overrode everything else, he relaxed into the darkness that seemed to cover him.
"Mr. Reagan.. Mr. Reagan." everything was blurry at first and his surroundings completely unfamiliar as was the voice.
"What wh." Danny's eyes began to focus. He did a brief look around the room, he saw monitors, a man in a white coat and Erin, Mary and Frank in the corner all arm in arm. Their eyes were red glazed as if they had been crying. He looked down at his arm and seen a tub like thing going into it.
"What's happened." Danny was terrified.
"You don't remember?" Mary was shocked.
"No i, um."
"You were on your way home from the Jets game and you were in a serious car accident. You broke your left leg " The doctor reminded.
"Jets game? Car accident?" Danny's eyes widened with fear. He tried to sit up put a sharp pain struck in his leg. "Where's Joe and Ja Jamie." Erin spun around, into her father's shoulder.
"I'll be outside, let me know if you need anything." the doctor didn't want to be all in their conversation.
"Joe woke up a day after the accident." Danny was confused at his mother's words.
"A day? so what's today?" Danny didn't understand.
"It's day three."
"Day three?!" Danny yelled. "I've been unconscious for three days?" Mary nodded, water filling her eyes.
"Jamie⦠Where is he, how is ." Danny couldn't even finish.
"Jamie's in critical condition, he um." Frank coughed trying to clear his throat. "He had internal bleeding, and a punctured lung that they had to re inflate, and his ribs are cracked and he's got a bruised brain, they put him into a medically induced coma, he's in ICU they say the next twenty four to forty eight hours are crucial." Danny saw the pain in his father's eyes, Tears poured down Danny's face.
"Why-" Mary walked over to her oldest son and grabbed his hand.
"I need you to be strong, okay? and if you can't for yourself i need you to be for Jamie and Joe." she tightly squeezed his hand, locked in deep eye contact Danny nodded.
"How is Joe, how is he taking this." Danny asked.
"He's asleep right now but not well at all, he won't say anything really he blames himself for something he had no control over." Erin Replied.
"Do you think we can share a room? i don't want him to be alone anymore." Danny eyes begged.
"Me and your father will speak with the staff." Mary released her grip on his hand, the two left the room leaving Danny and Erin.
"I'm sorry sis." Danny broke.
"What are you sorry for?" Erin whipped her eyes.
"For scaring you. I know you felt like you were going to lose all three of us and i'm sorry." Danny reached his hand out for hers.
"I'll be fine, i love you, i love all of you." she squeezed his hand.
