Update for you :D

Drew sat on his bed and caught sight of the photo of him and his dad, trying to think about how much he enjoyed that day when the picture was took but the more he thought about that day, the harder it hit him that his dad has walked out of his life again. Having his dad back was the best thing that had happened to him in a long time but he couldn’t stop the anger building up inside as he kept thinking his dad was nothing but a tosser. Grasping the photo Drew stared at it for a fraction of a second, his fists clenching around it as his anger towards his father increased. Before he knew what he was doing he had launched it across the other side of the room.

As he gradually lifted himself off his bed he looked down at the smashed photo that had cracked into tiny pieces. He started to contemplate weather he wanted to pick up the frame but as he kept thinking that by picking the pieces up he would sort of be forgiving his dad and that’s not what he wanted, he wants his dad to suffer just like he is suffering now.

The shattered pieces that lay on the floor suddenly brought Drew to his senses and in a matter of seconds the anger he felt for his dad suddenly vanished.

Dan burst threw Drews bedroom looking upset and looked at Drew deadly serious,

“It’s Pete…. He’s been in an accident”

Dan’s heart was beating ten to a dozen as he and Drew burst threw the hospital doors when they clap their eyes on Rachael, they both run up her breathless and desperate for answers, “Where’s dad?”

Rachael took a deep breath, fighting back her feelings towards a good friend as she said, “ Pete’s in a critical condition they’re operating now to stop the bleeding in his stomach but he also has a head injury”

“he has to get better, he just has to!?” Drew said tearfully.

“It’s important to hope for the best but he is very ill and I can’t make any false promises,” Rachael explained to the both of them.

Drew took a few steps back until he reached the wall when he fell onto the chair underneath him.

Dan didn’t know what to say or how to react and his heart felt like it had sunk into his stomach but all he could think was about how much he needed his brother and how much Drew needed his dad.

It had seemed like hours since Drew and Dan had heard anything about Peter and Drew hadn’t said a word since Rachael had told them about Pete.

Drew held his head in his arms thinking about how petty the arguments were, if only he could turn back time.

Rachael walked towards Drew and Dan, “What’s happening?” Drew said suddenly standing up.

“One of his archeries in his kidneys was lacerated, that has been repaired, his blood pressure is back up and he is stable” Rachael explained slowly.

“And the head injury?”

“It is worse then we first thought, there is bruising and swelling to the frontal lobe of his brain, it’s quite severe”

“Can’t you fix it?” Drew said as he felt his heart being ripped apart.

“I wish it was something we could just fix… the best thing we can do is keep him asleep and hope the swelling on his brain goes down of its own accord”

“But… but what if it doesn’t” Dan muttered still in denial.

“Dan were doing everything we can lets not deal on hypotheticals”

Dan tried to take it all in but he could barely get his head around the fact he could lose his brother and he looked at Drew who was just staring at the floor. Dan knew instantly that Drew was frantically holding back the tears.

Drew raised his head and said, “Can I see him?”

Rachael nodded as she took Drew and Dan to Pete’s room.

As Drew approached the door he suddenly came to a stop, he couldn’t even take another step into the room because he didn’t want to see his dad lying on a bed with loads of tubes surrounding him. If anything Drew wanted to remember his dad how he was before the accident not someone that was disfigured.

Dan walked into the room and turned to look at Drew but he was already gone.

He looked back at Pete who was lying lifeless, hooked up to all sorts of machines looking exactly how he looked last year just before Rachael told him he was dead but he wasn’t it was just the drug making everyone think he was dead. Dan tried not to think about how much it reminded him of last year but it scared him even more as Rachael walked into the room showing the same facial expression like she was going to say the words he dreaded to hear.

Dan walked further towards Pete, taking his hand as he squeezed it lightly, “I’m so sorry" Dan whispered before bursting into tears.

That was so sad :( Particularly the end, with Dan holding his hand :(

I'm glad Drew does can, hopefully they have a chance to patch things up.

Great chapter, update soon :)
