The Sinking Feeling

Red and blue lights illumined the dark night.

Summer stood by the front door, shell shocked.

She couldn't move, just simply stand there, shivering slightly in the cold. She was still in the vintage couture dress she'd worn for dinner.

The paramedics had just arrived, the ambulance parked alongside their two cars.

She couldn't believe what was happening. The paramedics would be inside, in the nursery with her poor little boy.

She didn't know what was wrong with him. He just laid there. Seth was inside with them, all the colour had drawn out of his face. The nanny had arrived and had taken Autumn to her house, away from all the drama.

Another car pulled up and Sandy and Kirsten got out, just in their robes and nightwear. They ran up to Summer.

"Summer! What's going on? Are you okay? Is Seth okay? What about the twins?" Sandy asked worriedly. Summer simply stood there, her mouth forming words but no sound came out.

"T, Taylor… He, he's not, not right…" she spluttered. Sandy rushed inside as Kirsten hugged Summer tightly. Suddenly the paramedics rushed out, Seth and Sandy following from behind.

Summer burst into tears as she saw the tiny body of Taylor lying on the small stretcher.

"Taylor! My baby! What, what's wrong with him Seth?" she sobbed as Seth came over.

"We, we don't know. He's unconscious, they're taking him to the hospital," Seth stammered, hugging Summer.

There was no expression on his face, it was blank from the shock. Sandy patted his son on the back.

"Come on son, come in the ambulance with me, your mom can take Summer," Sandy said softly.

Seth kissed Summer quickly, squeezed her hand and walked towards the ambulance. The doors closed and it sped off into the night, it's siren blaring. Summer cried even harder, Kirsten wrapping her arm around her.

"Come on sweetie," she led her to the car and it pulled out into the darkness.

Summer looked up at the clear sky, the stars shining at her brightly.

"Why?" she thought looking at the moon, "Why me?"

After the worst hour of their lives, Seth and Summer found themselves slumped in a dull waiting room of the hospital at 1am.

It had been one of the worst nights they'd had to endure. Kirsten and Sandy sat alongside them, both trying avidly not to nod off.

Taylor was in the intensive care unit, only across from the waiting room, but to Summer, he'd never been more out of reach.

All she wanted to do was scoop him up, he'd laugh and his chocolate eyes would sparkle. Summer would hold him close and never want to let go.

But here they were. Seth sat straight in his seat, staring blankly at the white wall across from him. His face was pale and drawn and he looked like he was going to throw up. Summer held his hand, encasing it in her own palm.

He looked her. They said nothing, they knew each other well enough to know how the other was feeling.

It was like an invisible bond between them. Seth squeezed her hand as she rested her head on his shoulder.

They closed their eyes, not falling asleep but silently waiting. They jumped up as the door opened.

There stood a very worried Ryan and Marissa. Maia was balanced on Ryan's hip, sleeping silently.

"Summer? What's happening? Is he okay?" Marissa hugged them both tightly, her features looking nothing short of petrified.

"He's in intensive care, we don't know what's wrong yet. They haven't told us." Sandy and Kirsten had awoken and greeted their son and daughter in law.

Ryan placed Maia down carefully. She continued to sleep, her legs curled up to her chest as he placed his jacket over her. Seth sighed heavily.

"You wanna get a coffee bro?" Ryan asked Seth.

"Yeah okay, you want one Summer?"

"Yeah, thanks Seth, don't take too long." Seth kissed her forehead softly and the two guys left the room.

Marissa sat beside her friend, pulling Maia onto her lap. Summer rested her head on Marissa's carefully.

"Don't let me fall asleep…" Summer whispered, yawning.

"I wont, don't worry Sum, everything's going to turn out fine… I promise."

"Thanks Coop." Summer squeezed Marissa's hand and closed her eyes.

'Don't fall asleep Summer,' she told herself.

'Don't, don't, don't, fall asleep…"

She felt herself drift off and couldn't stop it.

'Just 10 minutes…' she thought as her eyelids grew heavy.

Summer's eyes flicked open as she felt someone nudge her arm. She squinted her eyes into focus, seeing someone hovering above her.

"Ryan?" she said, rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah, Summer, the doctors are coming in a second. They have some important news." She pushed the hair out of her face and straightened up. Seth entered the room and sat beside Summer.

She looked at his worried face and took his hand. His heart pounded as two doctors entered.

The whole room sat on the edge of their seats as the doctors looked at his shoes. Summer and Seth's hearts felt like they'd explode.

"I, I'm so sorry, I have some bad news…" the doctor started.

Seth felt the grip on his hand loosen as Summer let go.

They knew what was coming.

Everyone did.

But they didn't want to believe it.

"Taylor has suffered several fits and breathing difficulties. We are not entirely sure what was wrong and we tried our best but, we couldn't save him…"

Summer placed her hand on her head, screwing up her eyes.

"Consequently, Taylor Cohen passed away at 2.32am this morning. I'm so incredibly sorry…"

The doctors held their heads briefly and left the room. Summer had both hands on her head, her eyes were scrunched up, tears fighting to get out. But she didn't let them.

She felt like she was sinking, sinking deep into the ground.

Her lungs were closing, her heart was broken and her life as she knew it was over…

Pleasseeeeee dont hate me!
