Piece By Piece [Private RP — Closed]

Eden’s POV:

I’d gotten there as fast as I could, although I knew I shouldn’t be trusted with driving. My head was exploding and I felt dizzy with worry and frustration. How could a day start off so wrong?

Five minutes after I’d gotten there, Ashley arrived as well. She looked worried and confused as she approached me, almost getting run over. I was glad she didn’t get hit. I didn’t know what I would do had another one of my important people lay in the hospital.

I didn’t answer her. I simply snatched her hand and dragged her off. I already knew what room he was in so I didn’t ask the receptionist.

Once I got there, mom and dad were outside the room. Dad’s hair were messy and his eyes were red while mom looked like a mess.

“Where is he?” I demanded the second I reached them. “Is he okay? Can we see him? Is he awake?”

(oh my god)

(cries)

Eden’s POV:

“Dad,” I stressed out the word, tearing begging to leak from my eyes. “What happened to my brother? What happened to Luke?”

I knew I was being selfish. My parents had a good enough reason to be more broken that I was, but that was my brother. He was my twin, my other half. Without him, I was so lost. I couldn’t lose him. Not my brother.

“Dad, please,”

Before my father could reply, the doctor came out of the room. We immediately turned our attention towards him as he stopped in front of us.

“Are you Mr and Mrs. McArthur?” He asked, addressing my parents.

“How’s Luke?” I asked instead. “Is he okay?”

The doctor gave me a look before flipping through the papers he had.

“The accident was pretty bad, but he’s all right,” the doctor said, sending relief through my body. “However, he sustained many injuries. Broken ribs, a fractured leg, and a concussion. He got lucky, I’ll say. He’s still unconscious, but I suspect he’ll be awake in the morning.”

What if he doesn’t?

“Thank you, Doctor,” dad spoke up before I could, holding mom tightly. “When can we see him?”

“You can see him right now,” the doctor replied. “If you need anything, the nurse will be right here.”

(cries with you because hurting Ashley – and the other characters, but mostly Ashley – is sad)

(sobs with everyone because my baby Luke is hurt and my other babies are sad)

Eden’s POV:

I let everyone else see Luke first. I couldn’t bring myself to go inside. I couldn’t bring myself to see my big brother in the hospital bed because I knew if I did, I’d break and I didn’t want to feel myself crumble.

When everyone saw him, I waited for a few minutes before taking tender steps into his room, biting my lip as his wounded face came into my view.

Lucas had bandages wrapped around his head, wounds decorating his face. Thankfully, they weren’t terrible. They didn’t need stitches.

I walked over to the other side of the bed, clasping my brother’s hand in my own, taking a seat as I bit my lip harder.

“You can’t leave me,” I whispered, my voice shaking as tears finally sprang forth from my eyes. “Do you hear me? You can’t leave. You’ll wake up and you’ll be fine. We came into this world together and I’ll kill you if you leave without me.”

I didn’t leave his side. Not when my mom told me, not when my dad tried to get me to leave. Lee and I stayed by his side. Damn school, damn everything. Nothing else mattered to me more than being here when my brother woke up.

(sobs violently)

(sobs violently)

(Joins you in the sobbing)

Eden’s POV:

The second I accepted Ashley’s hug, the dam holding my tears back broke. I dug my face in her neck, clutching her shirt tightly as I broke out sobbing. I was so grateful to have Ashley by my side. I was so grateful for this hug, so grateful at having Lee be the one to give it to me.

“I can’t lose him,” I sobbed into her shirt, my heart breaking into pieces. Every time I looked at Lucas, it hurt. “Ashley, if I had lost him, I don’t know what I would do. My brother means everything to me…”

When Luke left to train, I was devastated. There was never a time Luke and I weren’t together. From birth to the day he left, we’d been inseparable. Without my brother, I felt so lost, so conflicted. It was like he was a part of me, and almost losing him today broke something inside of me.

I could hear my phone ring but all I could think of was Luke, and the fear that constantly tore at me every time I thought about almost losing him.

(this is hurting me)

(sobs violently)

(Joins you in the sobbing)

(joins you both What have we done…?)

(Thank you for thinking the writing is fantastic. 😭)

Eden’s POV:

I didn’t know when we went back to Lucas’s side, or when we took our seats and held his hand. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. All I knew is that I cried till I fell into consciousness.

Luke didn’t know how much he meant to both me and Lee. He didn’t know how devastated we were when he left for his training. He didn’t know how much he broke us by laying in the hospital, unconscious. I was never going to let him go without the fear of losing him again biting me.

When I woke up, my eyes were burning. Ashley, too, was asleep and Lucas looked the same—his face ghostly pale. The bandage around his head, however, seemed to be new.

I checked my phone, finding it was five in the afternoon. Lee and I had been here since morning. I felt sore all over, but I didn’t dare move. I simply clutched Luke’s hand tighter and rested my head on the bed when I caught the amount of missed calls I had.

60 missed calls, over thirty messages.

All from Sterling. As much as it hurt me to ignore him, I couldn’t talk to him. I wanted to be here with my brother. No matter how long it took for him to wake up, I wanted to be there when he did.

Still, I sent Sterling a short message.

I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.

I set the phone aside and closed my eyes again.

(hehe)

Eden’s POV:

When I woke up again, Lucas was still unconscious. I felt sick to my stomach, panic rolling through me again. This is what I feared. What if he’d never wake up? What if…

The door to the bathroom opened and Ashley emerged. She looked terrible, just as awful as I knew I looked. I even felt terrible.

“He’s not awake,” I whispered, tears stemming to my eyes again. “The doctor said he’d wake up in the morning. Why isn’t he waking up?”

Ashley didn’t say anything and just then, the nurse came by again. She checked on Luke and nodded at us.

“This is normal,” she said to us. “He’s in no danger, so you don’t have to worry. He’ll regain consciousness. Why don’t you guys get something to eat? You’ve been here since yesterday and hardly left the room. At this rate, you’ll get sick.”

I didn’t want to eat. I felt sick, I felt like I would throw up any second. I shook my head, taking a seat again. I wouldn’t be able to eat until Luke was awake.
