Megan POV

I walked into my mums hospital and I nearly broke down into tear by just looking at her, she looked awful, but still beautiful at the same time. She was pale, more pale than usual and had wires connected to her all over the place, she wasn't in a good state at all. I never realised how bad she's gotten until now, I thought she was fine, just needed a lot of rest but no, far from it. The second Jacob called me into the lounge when he went to check on her I knew something was wrong, I knew something bad like this would happen, it always does when my dad is away on tour. Thinking about my dad, this is the second time my mums been in hospital for serious reasons, even though I was there the first time, I was younger and didn't really know what was going on but my dad's got to go through it all again, I just hope he can stay strong for her. My dad seems like a tough, strong guy but in reality he's not, he's really sensitive and is just a softie, the second he sees her laying on the hospital bed, he'll crack and I don't think I can watch him going through that.

Me and Jacob sat either side of her hospital bed and just watched her in silence, none of this had really sunk in, our mum is basically dying.

"Jake?" I said breaking the silence in the room.

"Mhm?" He mumbled in response while looking up at me from watching our mum.

"You know what ever happens, you've always got me to fall back on, no matter how bad I get, I'll always be there for you no matter what, you hear me?" I said sternly but in a soft tone of voice. He smiled slightly with a nod.

"I know meg, we all have each other" He said. I smiled back at him but silence took over the room again, neither of us really wanted to talk, we just wanted to spend time with our mum. Then my phone was buzzing, I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that my dad was ringing me.

"Hey dad" I answered.

"Hey sweetie, how is she?" He asked, I could hear the desperation in his voice, it broke my heart.

"Dad, she's in a coma.. again" I sighed. I had to tell him, he deserved to know even though I knew it would kill him. There was no reply from him, I checked to see if he'd hung up but it was still on the call, "you still there dad?" I asked, hoping for a reply.

"Y-Yeah" He sniffled. Great, now I've made him cry. Tears threatened to fall just thinking about my dad upset, I hated it.

"Please don't cry dad" I said sadly.

"No, no I'm fine, don't worry about me sweetie but I'll be there soon, halfway home" He explained. I felt happier knowing that he's nearly home, I've missed him too much, yes I'm a real daddies girl.

"Okay, I miss you dad" I said. I heard him sniffle again.

"I miss you too munchkin, I'll be home soon" He said. The sadness in his voice was so clear, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

"Have a safe journey, I love you dad" I said with a smile.

"I will and I love you too, bye" He said. I said back then hung up. I looked over at Jacob and sighed, he's never been through something like this before other than me, he shouldn't have to go through this. I could see the tears silently falling down his cheeks as he watched our mum contently as she's laid peacefully on the bed. I walked over to him and pulled him into a hug, that's when he couldn't hold the tears in any longer and his body was shaking as the sobs racked through his body, I hated seeing my younger brother like this and I hate that I can't do anything about it.

"It'll be okay Jake" I whispered softly. I rubbed his back soothingly as he cried in my arms.

"I-It won't, I-I can't t-tell" He stammered. I sighed slightly but just hugged him tighter, this was going to be the worst experience of our lives.

I was woken up by someone shaking me, I jolted awake and saw my dad standing in front of me with tear stained cheeks and blood shot eyes, I could tell he's been crying. I didn't even realise that I had fallen asleep, Jacob had fallen asleep in my arms as well. I slowly unraveled myself from Jacob so he didn't wake up, stood up and hugged my dad tightly, I didn't want to let go because I had a fear of losing him too and I didn't want that to happen.

"I'm scared dad" I began to sob. He shooed me softly and started to rub my back, just like I did with Jacob.

"So am I baby, but we have to be strong for her okay?" He said making me look up at him. He looked a mess, like he hadn't slept in a while. I nodded my head and hugged him again, I felt safe in my dad's arms.

"Did the doctors tell you everything?" I asked hopefully, I wouldn't be able to cope with repeating everything they said to me and Jacob earlier.

"Yes they did sweetie and we've all just got to be there for her, no matter how hard it gets" He explained. I nodded in agreement. My mum doesn't deserve this, she can't exactly run away from it like we could so it's not fair if we did, we need to support her as much as possible.

"I know dad, I just hope everything turns out okay in the end" I sighed.

"It will sweetie, it will" He reassured me but I had a gut feeling nothing was okay in this situation.
