I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Fin's Point of View-
Shannon and I have been going through all his photos, and folding laundry that we have been pulling out of the dryer when my phone rang, it was a number I didn't recognized, Shannon knew it was a Cameron area code, I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked not knowing who it was.
"Is this Christina Lee Howard?" A man asked.
"Yes, who is this?"
"This is Dr. Craig, I work at the Cameron Hospital, I have your sister, I am assuming, Jennifer Bella Howard, she was in a horrible car accident."
"Is she okay? What about Gregory?" I asked in panic.
"What?" Shannon asked panicking also now.
"She is fine, right now she is still knocked out and she will be asleep for a while too because we gave her some pain medicine. She has a broken arm, a broken leg, maybe a concussion, and she had a deep cut on her head, that we had stitched together. I am not allowed to release Gregory's information to you since you are not related to him." He said.
"He was going to be my brother in law, they were in engaged, I have a right to know." I said as tears started rolling down my eyes.
"Fine ma'am, he was knocked out due to the collision, he is awake right now, but we are putting medicine into his IV, he has two broken legs, a broken arm, and we had to realign his spine a little, but we have already fixed everything, but they will need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days."
"How did you get my number?"
"It was in Jennifer's phone under sister, we need you and someone that knows Gregory to come down and fill out paperwork, visiting hours end at 10 P.M." He said as my tears were streaming, Shannon pulled me into his embrace closer.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Shannon whispered.
"I will be there as soon as possible, thank you so much." I said as I hung up the phone.
"Who was that?"
"It was Dr. Craig, apparently Gregory and Toes were in a bad car accident, we need to go down to the hospital to fill out paperwork." I said as more tears came out of my eyes, Shannon pulled me closer so I could cry on his shoulder.
"Are they okay?"
"Their fine, Gregory is awake right now, they knocked Toes out with medicine, and they are doing the same with Gregory. Toes had a deep cut that needed stitches, a broken arm and a broken leg, she might also have an concussion, Gregory has both legs broken, a broken arm, and they needed to realign his spine." I said into his shoulder.
"Come on, we got to get to the hospital. Call Maddie or Matt, and Jeff, have one of them pick up the kids from school, and Beth." Shannon said as he pushed me off him and pulled me up off the couch. I put my shoes back on and tried to compose myself some. Shannon practically carried me out to the Hummer because I wanted to stay in the house and sob all day. Once I got into the car, I pulled out my phone, Shannon climbed in and started the car.
"Would you please try not to get in an accident, we don't need more people admitted?" I asked as I was searching through my contact list for Maddie.
"I won't, I will take extra precaution." Shannon said as I pushed Maddie's name to call as Shannon grabbed my free hand.
"Pick up, please." I said as tears started to roll again, I don't know why I was crying, I mean she was okay, but my sister was seriously injured in a car accident, why my sister, and why my soon to be brother in law? And, even if she wasn't killed, but it's the fact that she COULD have gotten killed, I think it just shook me up and scared me.
"Hey chica." Maddie answered.
"Maddie, you and Matt need to meet us at the hospital, on the way can you pick up the kids from school and bring them with you?" I said as she could tell I was and/or have been crying.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Maddie asked concerned.
"What?" I heard Matt say in the background.
"Toes and Gregory were in a car accident, they are injured badly, Shannon and I are on the way to the hospital now, would you please do us a favor by picking up the kids and bring them to the hospital with you?" I asked as I just wanted to get off the phone as soon as possible.
"Are they okay?" Maddie asked as Shannon tightened his grip on my hand to know he is supporting me.
"Yeah, they are fine, and will be fine." I said as Shannon turned onto the paved road.
"We will be there as soon as possible, could you call the school and tell them we will pick them up?"
"Will do." I said.
"Love you, and remember, it hurts me just as much, she is my sister too, but she is tough okay." Maddie said.
"Alright, get there as soon as you can, we will need all the support." I said as I looked over at Shannon before I hung up the phone. "What's the number for the school?"
"I don't know, do 411." Shannon suggested as I did 411 two times to get the two different schools explaining the situation to them, and how Maddie Smith or a Matt Hardy will be picking them up shortly. I then called Jeff, I knew this will be hard for me to do, with Maddie, yeah she is like a sister to us and we are like sisters to her, and I know that Maddie is probably crying now that I am off the phone with her, but when I have been with Jeff, I can just be myself and let my emotions run wild and he would understand. Maddie is and will ever be my best friend, and always be my sister, from another mother that is, but Jeff is my newest best friend, you know when you have a best friend and they move, and you kind of get a new one, but it is never the same as the previous one, but yet you still keep that best friend that moved and you still remain best friends, but you have another new best friend? Yeah, if that makes any sense, I called him as Shannon pulled into the hospital parking lot parking the car waiting for me to get off the phone.
"Hello?" A grumpy Jeff said.
"Jeff, Toes and Gregory were in a horrible car accident, they are admitted to the Cameron Hospital, Maddie and Matt are picking up the kids on their way to the hospital, will you please come? And you can call Beth and tell her if she wants to come over later on with Amber, or now." I explained fast so I could get inside sooner.
"Are they okay? Are you okay, it sounds as if you have been crying?" Jeff asked as I could tell he was a little flipping out.
"They are going to be okay, few broken bones, Gregory need to get his spine realigned and Toes got stitches. Yeah, I have been crying, I think Maddie has since I got off the phone with her, but will you please come, we need all the support here." I said as Shannon squeezed my hand.
"Be there in a jiffy." Jeff said as I heard jingles of his keys.
"Jeff, be careful out there, roads are slippery and we don't need you in an accident too."
"Well, if I am, at least I will end at the hospital either way." Jeff said giggling.
"Jeffrey Nero Hardy, this is not the time to tell jokes with me." I said as a fresh set of tears rolled down my cheeks, Shannon wiped them off with his soft fingers.
"Sorry, bad timing, love you, be there as soon as I can. Do you guys need or want anything that I can possibly do?" Jeff asked.
"Nothing now." I said.
"Okay, talk to you when I get there." Jeff said as he hung up the phone, I closed mine and slid it into my pocket.
"Are you ready to go in there?" Shannon asked as he squeezed my hand tighter.
"If not now, then I don't know when." I said as I wiped some more tears off my face, I opened my door and climbed out. Shannon met me in front of the car, he grabbed my hand and intervened his fingers with mine, with his hand in mine and him there with me, I felt stronger, but yet not as strong where I could break down and cry in his lap every time I needed too, but with him just holding my hand I get the courage and the strength to go through with it. We walked through the automatic doors, and up to the receptionist desk.
"May I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"I am here for Jennifer Bella Howard and Gregory "Shane" Helms." I said, the receptionist nodded and went through some papers.
"You will need to feel these out, when your done, they are on the fifth floor, room 5462, and you can just give it to the nurses up there." The receptionist said, I nodded and grabbed the two clipboards that had papers and a pen on each. I handed the one with Gregory's name on it to Shannon. We sat down in the seats filling out the paperwork when we saw Matt, Maddie, Anita and Beniot walked in right when we were finishing the paperwork.
"Where are they?" Maddie asked as I could tell she has been crying.
"We haven't been up there yet, we have been filling out these papers." I said as I hugged my best friend tightly, we both cried into each others shoulders.
"What happened?" Beniot asked.
"You didn't tell them?" Shannon asked.
"I couldn't tell them." Maddie said after we broke the hug.
"What?" Anita asked.
"Your aunt Toes and your uncle Gregory got in a car accident, they are going to have to stay in the hospital for a few days because they are very injured." Matt said, Anita nodded and I saw her biting her lip, I knew she was getting a cry ball.
"Are they going to be okay?" Beniot asked as I could see tears coming to his eyes.
"Yes, we are going to go see them right now." I said as I knelt down and hugged him tightly to me, Shannon hugged Anita as a few tears slipped her eyes. Jeff ran through the doors, and was pulled into a hug from Matt.
"Fin!" Jeff said pulling me into a hug, he wouldn't let me go for like ever, after we got all of our hugs out of the way, we climbed into an elevator. I was hanging onto Beniot's hand with one hand and Shannon's with the other. Anita was hanging onto Jeff's hand, Matt was hanging onto Maddie's hand.
"What room are they in?" Matt asked.
"5462." Shannon said as they followed the signs to the room, we stood outside staring into the room through the window, I broke down and cried more, Shannon pulled me into him, he took me for a walk around the hospital one time and we came back, the rest were still standing out side.
"May I help you folks?" A nurse asked.
"We are family and friends, here is the paperwork." Shannon said as he handed her the paperwork we filled out.
"You can go in, the medicine should be wearing off soon." She said as Jeff walked with Anita and Beniot into the room, Maddie and Matt followed, Shannon pulled me back.
"Are you going to be fine?" He asked.
"I will be strong." I said as tears rolled down more, I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around my waist, we stood there a few minutes until I composed myself. We walked in to find the others spread out, Beniot was sitting on the window seal, Jeff was sitting next to Beniot to make sure he didn't fall any. Anita was sitting in a chair, Matt and Maddie were sitting on the other chair. I sat down on the edge of my sister's bed, I grabbed her hand lightly trying not to tug out the IV.
