Chapter 14
(Casey POV)
Brax and I look across at each not knowing how to tell Ava that she may never walk again. Brax was normally the cool calm one in situations but they were always situations that he could fix this was one that wouldn't be able to be fixed like usual. I see that Brax is struggling to find the right words to tell Ava the truth so I decide that It will be best if I tell her if she sees how rattled he gets about it then she will panicked. I sit down beside her on the edge of the bed and grab hold of her little hand.
"Ava, there something you need to know" I admitted
"Casey what is it,your scaring me"
" you have a break in your back" I sigh "when you were in a coma they told us that you might be paralysed"
Ava's face drops, she stares blankly down at herself unsure of what I had told her was true. She remained quiet for a few moments before she faces back towards me.
"But I can still move" she pointed out
"It's from the hips down" I frown squeezing her hand
"No there wrong, I'm fine" she shouts as her breathing becoming heavier
"Ava, just calm down" I reassure
At this point Brax had gone and got Nate, he walks into the room seeing that Ava was in distress and quickly puts an oxygen mask over her face.
"What happened " Nate questions
"We told her about her back" I announce
"It sounds like she's having a panic attack we need to try and get her to slow her breathing down" Nate spoke " Wait outside"
We walk outside the room waiting for Nate to calm her down. Maybe I shouldn't of told her, I could of left it for Nate to explain it to her I've probably made things worst I thought to myself. I look to Brax and see how guilty he looked, I knew how he was feeling. After about 20 minutes Nate walks out of the room, we both walk over to him.
"So what happened is she ok?" Brax questioned
"She had a panic attack and her having a severe concussion made her lash out"
"Can we go In a see her?" I ask
"Yeah, she's sleeping so maybe leave it an hour or so"
" I'm just going to ring the others and let them know" I say to Brax
(Ava POV)
I wake up and look around to see everyone stood in my hospital room, they had brought up flowers, balloons and chocolates. I go to try and move my legs hoping that it was all just a nightmare but as I look down at my legs I see that there not moving.
"Brax" I say half asleep
"It's ok I'm here Avs"
"It was Adam" I croak
"We know, Kyle made a statement to the police he found you outside Angelo's"
"Surprised he didn't just leave me there" I sneered
"Ava, he's your brother, he's been so worried about you" Bianca added
"If he's so worried, where is he then?" I hissed
"I'm here" Kyle said walking through the door " I didn't know if you wanted me here so I thought I would wait outside"
I look up and see him stood in the door frame, looking down at the floor hands in his pockets. I was genuinely surprised to see that he had actually came last time I was in the hospital he couldn't of cared less, I thought he would be happier if I wasn't around.
"We will leave you too it" Brax says getting up and escorting everyone out of the room
Kyle walks over to the bed and stands awkwardly next to me, I don't think we had been this close before unless it was because we fighting.
"You can sit down" I spoke
"Look I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I put you through hell, I have been horrible to you and for years I have been blaming you for things that weren't your fault I just needed someone to blame. I don't expect you to forgive me I just needed to tell you your my sister, I love you and I will always be here for you not matter what" Kyle burst out
"Why are you telling me this now?" I responded
"When I found you outside Angelo's all I can think of was what if never got to see you again, what if something happened to you and I didn't get to tell you that I'm sorry, family is so important and I couldn't imagine my life without you" He says hugging me
I wrap my arms around him and grip him tightly I can never remember a time where we had done this.
