JACK

My eyes flickered open and I could hear Jasey whimpering in the back seat.

'Are you okay Jasey sweetie?' I asked, my arm was throbbing and my hand was sticking slightly the wrong way but I ignored it.

'fine daddy, what about mommy?' she asked sounding very frail, and by the look on her face I could tell that I didn't want to see what was wrong with Leda. I tore my eyes of Jasey ad looked at her, my breath caught in the back of my throat. Her head was resting on the steering wheel, her caramel coloured hair covering her face.

'Leda….' I said and pushed her gently of the wheel, it was worse when you saw her face. She had a gash from the middle of her forehead, it ran down her temple and stopped oh her cheekbone.

'Leda?' I repeated shaking her, she didn't stir 'Leda, this isn't funny, please wake up.' I was close to breaking down but I couldn't do that in front of Jasey. Jasey started to scream, crying her tiny eyes out. I kicked my car door open, I shot of pain running up my leg. I hobbled over to her car door and pulled her out her seat and into my arms.

'You need to be a brave girl Rae, can you do that for daddy?' I said soothingly to her, she stopped screaming and just started to sob quietly on my shoulder. I rubbed her back, I looked over to the car who had pulled out in front of us. A woman hobbled out her car and half ran over to us.

'I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and I…i….' she stumbled

'It's fine for now just please help me with my girlfriends.' I said, she looked at Leda still in the car and her eyes widened. She opened her door and started to check her over.

'She's breathing fine, her pulse is steady but we can't move her in case she's broken anything.' She said and then pulled out her phone, calling an ambulance.

'I'm Lindsey by the way.' She said.

'Jack.' I said bluntly 'This is Jasey Rae and that's my girlfriend Leda.'

She nodded slowly and then frowned 'There's a song by my daughter's favourite band with that name.'

'All Time Low?' I asked

'Yeah,' She looked at me then her eyes widened as if she was only just noticing who I was. 'oh god. You're. Oh god. Oh no.'

It was then the ambulance showed up, it took them a while to get Leda out the car. They placed her on a stretcher and I couldn't stop looking at how broken she looked. Lying there, her skin was so pale, her eyes closed as she lay in an awkward position, probably because she had broken bones. I had called Cass to tell her, probably because I couldn't bare telling anyone else about this, especially Alex. She showed up and saw Leda being pushed into an ambulance, she let of a broken noise before coming over to me.

'Okay Jasey, you have to go with Cassadee.' I said and she gave me a sad look, I pulled the necklace I always wore of, me and Leda have to half's of a heart necklace. I put it around Rae's neck and she looked at me questioningly. 'Me and your mommy will always love you, I need you to go home to uncle Alex, you can come see us later, okay?' she nodded 'You're my brave little girl. I said and kissed her forehead. Cass took her off of me and I climbed into the ambulance.

ALEX

I sat at a table with the guys and Cass and Emily in the hospital. Jack walked in from Leda's room, his eyes were red and I could tell he was trying to hold himself together for Jasey. All he needed was to just breakdown for a while. I gave Cass a look and she nodded.

'Why don't we go get something from the cafeteria?' she said to Jasey and pulled her into her arms.

'You guys coming?' she said and gave them looks, they caught on and followed her. I looked at Jack and he slumped down in his chair, banging his head on the table. Earning us a few looks from people in the waiting room.

'Jack…' I said carefully, he looked at me sideways, not taking his forehead of the table. 'They're gone, now's the time for you to breakdown.' He laughed and pulled his head of the table, resting it in his hands, concealing his face from me. I looked at him for a second, then I saw that he was crying into his hands. He was sobbing quietly, shaking all over. I put a hand on his back and he rested his head on my shoulder. I've never seen him like this, so broken.

'This won't help the Jalex rumours.' I joked to him and he let of a watery laugh. He took his head of my shoulder ad brushed away the tears on his cheeks.

'Come on Jacko, you need to eat. I'm sure they have burritos in the cafeteria.' I said, standing up. He smiled weakly and followed me.

2 days later

I wandered into Leda's hospital room, she was still asleep on the bed. Jack had said she'd woken up for about 5 minutes an hour ago then fallen asleep again. She was on a lot of pain killers, she'd broken 5 ribs, her wrist, her right ankle and dislocated her jaw. Jasey had come out unscathed, Jack had ripped a tendon in his arm and chipped a bone in his leg but Leda had been the worst. Jack was fast asleep in the chair next to her bed, Jasey was on his lap, also asleep but he was still clutching Leda's hand. He hadn't moved out that chair for 24 hours, and I don't think he's eaten in a good 12 hours. We'd given up trying to get him to eat, the first time he did he threw it up an hour later because he was so worried. I sat down on the end of Leda's bed and took her other hand.

'Hey there baby girl.' I said to her, rubbing circles into the back of her hand. 'How you doing? I miss you.' I said sadly 'we all do.' I added looking at Jack 'you just need to get better soon, okay?' I looked at her, she seemed so broken and lonely. I let out a sigh and started to sing lullabies to her.
