The school hallway a while later- Jack and Chris are talking with some of their friends, T.J runs up in a panic.
Jack- Teej, what's wrong?
T.J- Kyle, he-he passed out in science class first period!
Chris- Is he okay?
T.J- I don't know, he's still with the nurse.
Sam walks up to them, just as the friends leave waving bye. The brothers begin to freak out.
Chris- Kyle's in the nurse's office. He passed out!
Sam- I know. He just got out, he looks pretty bad. I think their sending him home, but Dad's at work or something.
Jack- I'll go with him, I have a math test I forgot to study for. Perfect timing!
He walks into the office, Kyle is talking with the vice-principal. He looks over when he see's Jack come in. Kyle is paler and looks as if he hasn't slept in weeks.
Jack- Mrs. Medly , I can take him home with me, I'm signing out anyways.
Kyle- You don't need to, I'm fine!
Mrs. Medly- Well Kyle, you don't look it. I'm sending you home with your brother, I'm also going to call your father and tell him. If you'll excuse me.
She leaves, Jack turns his brother to face him.
Jack- What's up with you? This morning you almost got hit by a car and then you passed out in class. You okay? Kyle, I'm worried about you man.
Kyle- Don't be I'm fine! Lets just go.
Jack signs them out and they leave. They step out of the building, Kyle slightly behind him, Jack turns the first corner onto their street. He hears a falling noise come from behind him, he turns quickly to face Kyle who is now lying on the ground, motionless. He bends down to his younger brother, shaking him slightly.
Jack- Kyle! Kyle? Come on. Wake up. Please Kyle!
He Takes out his cell phone and dials 9-1-1, and tells them where they are and what happened. He's beyond worried now as he looks down once more realizing he isn't breathing. He shakes his shoulders once more, nothing.
Jack- Kyle...come on.
He mutters under his breath, eyes not leaving the boy who is showing no signs of waking up. In his mind Jack knew there was something deathly wrong with him. He should have known something was up when he didn't laugh at Sam, the normal Kyle would have told everybody and maybe even have taken a photo of it and sent it to everyone in school.
Jack- Please Kyle wake up. Or at least show me something to tell me your still alive, please?
He hears the ambulance coming and stands up still looking for any movement on his brothers part. The paramedics come, they put a breathing mask on him before putting him in the van. Jack gets in too, everything for him's a blur, he can hear that the sirens are on. In his mind he's still praying for Kyle to be alright. Once at the hospital, they wheel Kyle into the ER, not telling anything to Jack. He walks over to the empty waiting room, takes out his phone and calls his Uncle Jimmy and Dad at work.
Nick- Hello?
Jack- Dad, hey it's Jack, I'm at the hospital with-with Kyle.
Nick-Hospital? Why? Are you two okay?
Jack-I'm fine but Kyle, they toke him to the ER and they wont tell me anything!
Nick-Relax, I'm on my way. Jack, can you phone Chris? Tell him to bring Sam and Teej to the hospital at lunch.
Jack- Sure bye.
He hangs up, and dials Chris' phone.
Jack- Pick up, pick up. Come on Chris pick up.
After 5 rings, Chris finally picks up.
Chris- Talk to me!
Jack- Chris, I need you, Sam and T.J to get over here now!
Chris- Why? Where are you?
Jack- The hospital, Kyle fell again, they rushed him to the ER. Can you get here or what?
Chris- Yeah, I'll be there in a minute. Just hold on!
Cafe at school- Chris hangs up and runs over to the 'geek table' and pulls Sam up.
Sam- Hey watch it Chris!
Chris- We gotta go, Kyle's in the hospital, not come on! Where's T.J?
Sam- Over there, wait what about Kyle? Why's he there?
Chris- I don't know! Jack just told me to grab you and Teej and get down there.
They run to the other side of the room, T.J is sitting with his and Kyle's friends, talking.
Sam- T.J! Come on we need to go! Now!
T.J- Okay, why?
Chris- Kyle's in the hospital!
The others at the table all look at him, Kyle's best friend Tanner looks at T.J then at Chris in disbelief.
Tanner- Is he okay?
Sam- We don't know, well call you when we find out. Now come on T.J we have to go now!
They quickly make their way over to the office, Chris signs them out not caring if he'll get in trouble or not. They arrive at the hospital by means of bus, half an hour later. They run into Jack, their Dad and their Uncle in the hall waiting.
Sam- How is he?
Jimmy- Not good.
A doctor comes over to them.
Doctor- Mr. Savage?
Nick- Yes?
Doctor- Hello, my name is Dr. Haggis, is Kyle Savage your son?
Nick- Yes he is, how is he doing?
Dr.- Bad, I'm sorry to tell you this, your son has brain cancer.
Jimmy- He'll be okay right?
Dr.- Well have to wait and see, once again I'm sorry.
