Chapter Thirteen: Broken

Summer's POV

One day has past and I'm still in the same clothes still not talking to anyone, I can't get the image out of my head, why cant things get any easier. Tears keep falling but I make no sound it is as if I have lost all emotion, I know he is their holding me tight and wiping away my tears but I can't feel him.

Yesterday

I can't believe its Friday I am looking forward to this party having everyone round. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make myself a drink; Nathan and Tom were already up, going through their check list.

"You both have everything sorted then?"

They both just nodded look like they were in deep thought

Once I had my coffee I went to the bathroom to have a nice relaxing bath before I had to go to work

After I had my bath I felt great, the best I have felt in a long time. I decided to get ready for work; thankfully Nate washed my uniform for me so was clean and ready for me to wear.

I joined Nate and Tom in the lounge there was a cup of coffee ready for me on the table.

"So everything is done, the food, drink and your getting Rob at half 6" Tom said

"Yep all done" Nate replied back

"What did you just say" I said to Tom

"Where done for tonight"

"No before that" I corrected him

"Nate's picking Rob up"

"Rob is coming are you both mad" I shouted at them

"Summer you didn't say he couldn't" Nate replied back

"But Rob who ripped my heart out and stood on it, you really think I want him here" I snapped back

"Summer I'm sorry but I thought you two could talk, besides me and Tom want him to come"

"Oh so forget me I don't matter, how I feel doesn't come into this?"

"I never said that" he defended himself

"Oh but you are your saying that by not thinking about my feelings"

"Grow up Summer you being stupid"

"I'm being stupid, you stupid for even thinking he could come" I shouted again

"He can come and is coming" Nate shouted at me

"Well done think I'm coming" I muttered

"That's fine suit's me with the way you acting"

"Fine you won't see me at all, see if I care that you have him over. You just enjoy having the guilt" I smiled

"Well after tomorrow ill leave you alone ill go home and you will never here from me how does that sound?" he asked me

"Sounds great no you, no annoying controlling brother perfect"

"You know what Summer I was proud of you the fact you never held grudges and how you wasn't like anyone else but guess what I'm not any more WELL DONE!"

"You think that hurts me well your wrong, you hurt me by inviting HIM, I hope you're happy!" I screamed in Nate's face

"I am" he said through his teeth

"Good I'm going now so you won't see you again will stay in Natalie's, have fun with Rob"

"Bye"

I slammed the door behind me. I was so angry what was he thinking; did he really think I would be ok with this? I can't believe he has done this.
I go into my car and drove to work. Hopefully this took my mind of things.

Nathan's POV

after four hours of Tom calming me down I realised I said some nasty things, things I did not mean and I know Summer didn't mean what she said either. I had to tell her I am sorry but I knew she wouldn't want to see me. I decided writing her a note would be easier and she would read it, and on the way back from getting Rob ill drop it off in her work.

"Tom I'm going to get Rob ok ill see you in about 2 hours"

"Yes that's fine ill get everything out ready phone me when you're coming back ok"

"Yes will do see you" I put the note into my pocket and left the flat.
Once driving I played the music load in the car to drown out my thoughts.

"When I opened my eyes I felt this pain it was unbearable, the smell of iron was making me feel sick. It was so hard to breath; I didn't know what had happened I was scared. I tried to shout for help but no sound came out. I could hear sirens in the background. All I could think was I have to give Summer her note.

Summer's POV

After thinking about what happened with Nate all I could think was how stupid I acted, I wish I could go home and talk to him, just then the phone rang

"Hello Trauma" I quickly go my pen and wrote down what was being said to me on the phone.

"Right everyone we have a major incident coming through in 10 minutes, Car crash 2 cars, 2 people involved one is dead at the scene other is in a critical condition" once I briefed the team I gave them set jobs and waited………

"Natalie you call the next of kin's for me get them in once we have to details" I asked her

As soon as the paramedic's arrived it was all go.

"We have a young male early 20's has no I.D on him just a note, he isn't responding to us so we have no idea what his name is, He has a head injury to the right side, collapse lung on right side, both legs are broken, Pulse is 136 and blood pressure is 60/42" once the paramedic's went we began to get everything we needed.

I began to set up the drips ready to put fluids up and blood once we have his type.

(listen to this song please Christina Aguilera – Hurt)

I grabbed this right hand to connect the fluids to the ventflon when I notice he had a ring which was similar to Nate's and had the same initials 'NLO'

It took me 5 minutes before I realised it was no similar ring it was Nathan's. I felt my stomach tighten and fell to the floor; tears ran from my eyes

"Nathan wake up, wake up" I shouted

I stood up and screamed for my staff to help him and save him.
Aaron grabbed me out of the trauma room and tired to talk to me when all I could focus on was my brother lying lifeless on the table,

"Natalie I need you to get someone here to support Summer" I hear Aaron say
I couldn't stop crying everyone was trying to calm me but they didn't understand that's my brother, my best friend.

I sat on the floor with my knees tucked under my chin, when I heard that sound, the sound everyone dreads, that makes you sick, the flat line.
I stood up and looked through the window everything was in slow motion my colleagues trying to resuscitate him, all I could hear was the flat line on the heart monitor. I knew then my big brother was gone nothing would bring him back to me.

I ran into the room and grabbed his sleep like body telling him to breathe

"Nathan I'm sorry, please come back, I need you I need you" i cried

I kissed his cheek and laid on the table with him, I didn't want to leave him I couldn't.

I heard Natalie's voice she was telling someone about Nathan when I looked up both Tom and Rob were there Natalie handed Rob a note.

"Summer" Rob cried out

"He's gone Rob, he wont come back to me please get him back" I cried

I felt Rob put his arms around me, he picked me up like a little doll and took me out of the room and sat me on his lap

"Here this is for you" he handed me a note

When I reached for it I noticed my hands were covered in blood, I opened the note it was from Nate.

'Summer, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you that's the last thing I ever wanted to do, I'm so proud of you, you make me the happiest brother alive. I Love you so much Love Nate xxxx'

"I Love you to" I whispered

Present day

Rob hasn't left my side since this he keep's his arms around me and wipes my tears, he knows when I'm ready to talk about it I will.
