6 Chapter 6, My brother

My brother was lying in a bed with tubes and monitors attached all over his body, there were machines everywhere in that room and so many cords you could hardly see the floor. As I got closer to him I began to shake praying that maybe just maybe it wasn't him and I went to the wrong room. As I looked down at the person in front of me, I saw a person in great pain, covered head to toe in bandages and that was still not enough to hide his scorched and burned skin.

I turned and saw Kelly standing in the dirt way with tears in her eyes.

"This isn't my brother right?" I asked with a stutter in my voice, as tears soaked my face.

"I'm sorry, but that's him. He's in a coma, from what I was told there's a chance he will wake up. But even if he does he'll need twenty four hour care from a nurse." She responded.

"How? How did this all happen? And what's gonna happen now? Are we just gonna go back to the town? What's...what's gonna.??" I felt my breaths getting shorter and shorter, I felt as though I couldn't breath, my chest ached, was I gonna faint again? Was I dying this time?

I could hear Kelly call for a nurse, a women quickly rushed in and told me I needed to control my breathing and relax. All I could think was "don't you think I'm trying to control my breathing and relax, I just found out my parents are dead and my brothers in a coma!!!!" Of course I was having enough trouble breathing so when I tried to talk it kinda just came out as a moan.

Soon enough the doctor from earlier came in with a brown bag and put it over my nose and mouth and said "breath in to this and try to slow down your breathing as best you can"

Soon enough I was able to start controlling my breath but I was far from calm or relaxed.

"Let's get you back to bed, you need to rest and no more talk of anything. You've had enough shocks for one day." Said the doctor as he picked me up and carried me back to my rooms bed.

I wanted to argue and stay with my brother, but I realized he was right I needed to at least to try to to calm down and think things through, I had a lot of things to figure out.
