Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi. I only own the OCs: kara, Andy, Jake, and Mikayla Torres.


Mikayla's POV

I sat in the kitchen reading over my will. I'm dying of cancer and I only have a few more weeks to live. My lawyer suggested I take another look at my will. I didn't have much to change. Most of what I had is going to Drew and the kids. I tapped my pen steadily as I revised. The sudden trill of the phone surprised me. I got up and walked over to it. An unknown number was calling.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Is this Mikayla?" an unknown voice questioned.

"Yes," I replied unsurely.

"Hi this is Officer Turner from the Police. Andrew Torres was just in a car crash. I'm calling because you're the emergency contact in his cell phone." My heart dropped. Something serious happened to Drew.

"I'm his wife," I said in a daze.

"He's on his way to the hospital." I mumble something unintelligible as I listened to the cop tell me the details. I hung up the phone and I started sobbing. Andy walked into the kitchen and saw me.

"Mom, what's wrong?" he asked urgently. My sobs shook me uncontrollably.

"I have to go out. Call Uncle Adam to come stay with you guys. I'll call you as soon as I can," I said. I grabbed my coat and ran outside to my car. I got behind the wheel and cried the entire way to the hospital.

"Hi. I'm here to see Andrew Torres," I said as soon as I got to the emergency room. The nurse referred me to a doctor. As I walked to see the doctor, I felt bad about leaving the kids. I should have told them. But maybe it was better I keep them in the dark for now. Maybe Drew was going to be okay.

"Mrs. Torres?" the doctor asked as I stepped into a room. I nodded mutely. "I'm sorry to say, your husband didn't make it. He died on arrival." As soon as the words hit me, I broke down. I sobbed. The doctor waited patiently for me to quiet down.

"How?" I choked out.

"He was hit in a head on collision by a drunk driver," the doctor explained. After talking for an hour, I was allowed to see Drew. The hospital is allowing him to stay there for 24 hours while I make funeral arrangements. I walked into the room and saw Drew. His normally tan skin was pale white. His eyes were closed, luckily. His body was damaged from the crash. I started to sob again. I couldn't believe he was really gone. I had seen him this morning. I kissed him goodbye. I had no idea it was the last time I would ever see him. I collapsed next to him.

The minutes felt like hours and time seemed to pass in weird increments. Finally, after what felt like days, I walked out of the hospital. I opened my phone and saw 9 missed calls, mostly from Adam and Andy. I drove home as fast as I could and got home in record time. I saw Adam's car in the driveway. I was relieved. Luckily, Andy followed my orders. I wouldn't want the kids to be home alone. It was 11pm.

I unlocked the front door and saw Adam and Andy in the living room. I walked in and Adam stood up quickly. Andy stayed seated, but listened. Adam spoke first.

"Mikayla, what's wrong?" he asked hurriedly. I began to cry and Adam came to hug me. I cried into his shoulder while he rubbed my back. My crying eventually slowed and I was able to talk.

"Drew was hit by a drunk driver. It was a head on collision. He didn't survive." My voice shook and I started to cry again. I looked at Adam. He looked shocked and devastated. Andy stood behind him with tears in his eyes.

"Drew's gone?" Adam asked in disbelief. I nodded. Adam looked at me for a moment before he started to cry. Andy was also crying.

Adam's POV

"Drew's gone?" I asked dumbly. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was talking to Drew yesterday. We were laughing and acting like typical brothers, even though we were grown men. I couldn't believe that all of a sudden he was gone. Like that, yanked from my life. Drew's always been there for me. We've never been apart.

I didn't notice I was crying until my body started to shake with sobs. I cried with Mikayla and Andy for hours. We all decided to try to go to sleep at around 1 am. I stayed on the couch and everyone else went to their room. As tired as I was, I couldn't sleep. All I thought about all night was Drew.
