Rain's POV

As I was driving with the panic of the two of them behind me, I saw their eyes lock. They looked at each other with so much pain and helplessness. And in that moment, my heart dropped to the ground. I could have stopped driving, I could have stopped moving and I could have stopped breathing.

It was such a beautiful look they gave each other, it triggered something in me. I had seen the look before, many times. And it was so unfortunate that this look surrounded my life. I kept driving, but without realizing it. It was almost as if I was on auto pilot, as i started to recall so many memories from the beginning to the end.

My mother was pregnant with my little brother. I was only six years old at the time. I was just a young girl with no experience of true despair. I was sat in my room, playing with my toys and enjoying the time alone, when I heard my parents shouting.

"Mum?" I said, creeping down the stairs into the lounge.

She was laid back on the sofa with masses of tears streaming down her face. My father had his back to her with a quick temper. He stormed towards me to shoo me away, when my mother called out for him to stop. And that was when their eyes met, and they gave each other that beautiful look. I didn't know it, but that was the evening they found out my baby brother was going to be disabled for the rest of his life. And they were considering having an abortion to end the suffering for him. But they gave each other faith that they could take care of him no matter what.

I had never experienced the feeling of helplessness with another person. Only on my own, and that made the whole feeling a lot different. My hands started to go numb and i shivered in my seat. I couldn't imagine what they were going through.

"Can you drive any faster!?" Oli shouted, not taking his eyes off SJ.

I snapped back into the scene, putting my foot down. "Yeah..." I said, feeling totally lost in the situation.

I slammed the brakes on the car and Oli gave me a disproving look as he tried to protect SJ from impact of the stop. "Open the car door..." He said, swinging her arms around his shoulders.

I got out and opened the door for him, letting him carry her out and walk quickly up to the hospital entrance. I staggered along behind him, looking at SJ's faint expression. I felt so awful for the two of them. We entered the hospital and we were immediately greeted by a handful of staff who took SJ away from Oli.

"Name?" A nurse shouted to Oli as he unwillingly let go of her.

"SJ Whiteley." He shouted back as he watched her disappear down the hospital corridor.

He sat down on the ground and folded his arms, slamming his head into them. I walked along beside him and sat down, stroking him gently until he collapsed onto me. I held him like a child as he bawled on my shoulder.

"You still care about her, don't you Oli?" I asked, rocking him slowly.

"Of course I fucking do." He sniffed. "It's just so awful that it took something like this for me to realize that." He dug his face into my jumper.

I looked around and recognized the hospital from just a few months ago. To think I was on almost dead, lying in a depressing room here not so long ago.

"Oli?" I said, lifting his head up. "Surely they are still looking for me here?"

He stopped sobbing instantly. He sat forward and rapidly changed his emotional state. "You need to go home Rain. I'm not loosing two of my girls at the same time."

I stood up, and left him on the floor in his tearful state. "Call me baby. I love you." I said, swinging away from him and breathing heavily. I closed the door behind me and listened to the birds in the trees beside me. It was so peaceful, and yet my mind was racing. Why was it that the most depressing moments are the calmest?
