One minute everything was fine, normal, dandy, whatever. Then the next everything went to shambles. Quite literally. It got cold all of a sudden to the point where Goosebumps were trailing up my arms and I literally shivered. My stomach dropped when I saw the look on Chris's face before everything went black.
"Ow" I muttered, bringing a hand to my forehead as I opened my eyes, the sudden light forcing them back shut. I groaned and pushed myself up, ignoring the pain in my back and sitting up, looking around. The whole house was in chaos. The couches were strewn about, the famous grandfather clock turned over, plants destroyed and the windows completely smashed leaving shards of glass everywhere. But that wasn't what I was focusing on. What I could only stare at was Chris, lying in a heap, a shelf of drawers lying on top of him, blood running down from his head.
"Chris" I muttered, the fear welling up in my chest. When he didn't reply I crawled over to him, ignoring the shards of glass that sliced my palm and shook his chest lightly, fighting back tears.
"Chris, c'mon, wake up" I told him but he lay still, getting paler and paler by the second.
"No… no, no, no, no" I whispered, pushing with all my might on the shelves, successfully making them clatter to the floor but still Chris wouldn't wake up. Fighting back tears I swivelled around and saw Leo helping an uninjured Piper up before pulling a bruised Phoebe to her feet and trying to heal Paige who lay just as still as Chris was. Leo looked panicked as he tried again but no white light emanated from his hands.
"Leo, what's happening? Why can't you heal?" I shouted over to him, keeping Chris's hand in mine.
"I-I don't know… my powers are blocked" He stuttered, trying again but failing. He lifted Paige up into his arms, keeping her head from lolling backwards.
"We need to go to a hospital" He stated and Phoebe helped Piper walk over the destroyed furniture. Immediately, when Piper laid her eyes on Chris her face went pale and she gripped a hold of Phoebe's hand tighter.
"Chris, sweetie?" She called out and that drew attention from Phoebe and Leo at how badly Chris was injured. They both paled and Leo nearly dropped Paige.
"They need a hospital Leo… like now" I said in a croaky voice, tears beginning to trail its way down my cheeks but I ignored them. Stay strong, I thought fiercely, Chris needs you to keep your cool right now.
Leo nodded shakily and bent down as if to place a hand to Chris' shoulder to orb them all away but Piper suddenly let out a gasp, hunching over slightly. We all looked over to her, panic on all our faces.
"Guys… "She started to say shakily, "I think my water just broke" She said in a shocked voice and all that followed was silence.
"Oh no, this isn't happening" I muttered, staring down at Chris again. Leo couldn't heal, Chris and Paige were injured, Piper was in labour, Phoebe looked to be about passing out any second and I wasn't fairing to well. Then it all clicked into place. Fuzzy memories came back… Chris pushing me out the way just before the shelves clattered to where I was standing. He pushed me out the way… so he got hit. New tears escaped as I looked down at him. Oh god Chris, was all I could think.
"Okay okay, this doesn't change anything – we all need to go to the hospital" Phoebe piped up and the temperature fell again, getting even colder than before. Each breath we took blew out foggy air and soon ice was forming on the destroyed furniture. Leo nodded and piper took a hold of his hand, Phoebe grabbed Pipers muttering soothing words in her ear and Leo took a hold of Chris shoulder and we all orbed to just outside the hospital in an abandoned alley way so no one would see us.
We all traipsed into the hospital, Leo carrying Paige, Piper shuffling behind him and Phoebe and I dragging Chris between us, his blood dripping on the floor. I cringed as I saw it – I couldn't lose him, not after coming this far. I wouldn't. I wouldn't let him.
The doctors and nurses took Paige away on a gurney, a nurse led piper away down the hall and two male doctors lifted Chris from our arms and whizzed him away, frantic looks on their faces.
"I-I need to see how Piper's doing" Leo muttered, looking ill and completely shell shocked, "You'll let me know when…?" He trailed off but Phoebe nodded, holding an icepack to her shoulder. I watched Leo leave and leaned against the counter top, my head ache returning full force but I tried to ignore the pain… all I needed was to see Chris, see him talking again, and make sure he was alright.
The out of nowhere, it was like getting hit by a bus, thoughts occurred to me. What if Chris wasn't okay? What if he was too badly injured? There was so much blood, he looked so pale. I started hyperventilating and that didn't get any better when I realised Paige was in exactly the same position.
"Phoebe… what if they're not alright?" I asked, trying not to let my face crumple.
"Jade, both of them will be fine, you'll see – they've survived worse than this" Phoebe comforted, but she looked as though she didn't believe it herself.
"You don't know that" I protested, crying. "Blood… there was so much blood and…" I got choked up, breathing heavily as a twinge came from my stomach, almost like a warning.
"Okay Jade you need to calm down, remember what the doctor said? No stress. The baby doesn't like it" She warned but I couldn't stop crying.
"But Chris and Phoebe and Piper – "I started to say but Phoebe cut me off by taking my hand.
"They're gonna be fine, I promise; now you have to listen to me… take deep breaths" She told me and I did, starting to feel my racing heart calm down, "because Chris would kill me if anything happened to you two" She smiled, "And stress is dangerous okay Jade? So I want you to sit down next to me and breathe okay?" She asked but it was more demanding, like if I didn't do what she suggested she would personally get the doctors to knock me out.
I just nodded numbly and sat down, rubbing my stomach as the pain eased off and my thoughts drifted back to Chris and Paige. They both looked so bad, so beaten up I knew I would remember that for a while.
Minutes blurred into one another and finally a middle aged doctor called out our names just as Leo returned, still ghostly white, dark circles prominent under his eyes.
"Well, Paige Matthews sustained heavy internal bleeding but that was manageable to fix, she should make a full recovery and be released within a few days. But Mr Chris Carter" I shuddered slightly at that name – they were alias so we could get health care and such because using our real names would be daft, "He has a fractured skull as well as kidney and liver lacerations and we managed to stabilise one of his lungs that collapsed but unfortunately he's fallen into a comatose state" He said apologetically and it took all my effort not to fall to my knees.
I didn't hear Phoebe and Leo talking to the doctor; all I was aware of was getting gently pulled into his room and sat down in a hard plastic chair next to his bed. He looked peaceful yet uncomfortable at the same time. He could've been sleeping except for the fact his head was bandaged and he had tons of machinery plugged into him and I had to remind myself that it was helping him so I didn't rip them out.
People mulled about, nurses, doctors, visitors but is stayed still… right next to Chris' bed side. A few hours later Leo came back in, his eyes red and puffy and without turning away from Chris I managed to croak out, "How's Piper?"
"She's-she's fine… only three centimetres dilated so we have a while left" He muttered and I nodded numbly. "I didn't tell her about… this" Leo said and I just continued to nod, not really taking any of it in until suddenly a sharp ringing sound filled the air and I whipped my head around to see, on the monitor, the absence presence of a heartbeat.
"No… Chris" I pleaded before getting pulled back by Leo as the doctors came racing forward, urgently shocking Chris' chest. My eye caught the clock on the hospital wall above Chris head and it read 12.01… Chris was dying on his birthday.
