unexpected love ch.32

I cried to myself the entire time Gage's dad was gone. I held onto my legs and held on for dear life. i rocked back and forth. How could this happen? What caused this? Why did it have to be Gage? Who were the other guys that died? Most of these questions would be answered. But right now they aren't and it's hard to deal with. I heard the front door open.
"MADDIE. It's him." I heard Gage's dad yell.
"How is he?" I asked worried.
"He's stable, He's got a few broken bones and has alcohol poisoning. He has a huge bruise were his seatbelt was. If that hadn't of been there he would of died."
"Why are you here?"
"He wanted me to bring him clothes and something to keep him entertained. I thought maybe you could help me with both of those things. I don't know what he likes but you do." I smiled a caring smile and nodded.
"I'll be right back." I assured him as I ran up the stairs and to Gage's room. When I walked in a wave of rememberance went through my head and I started crying harder. I slowly walked to his dresser and picked out his favorite shirt. A loose black and neon shirt. I went to his closet and found his favorite pair of shorts and shoes. I grabbed him some underwear and socks. I saw his laptop on his dresser and grabbed that too. I put them all in a back-pack. I found a notebook and pen and put it in the bag too. I ran downstairs, happy to get out of his room. I handed the backpack to his dad.
"I'm going to take Samantha to see him." He said I nodded.
"Hey, Do you know who the 3 guys that died were? I mean did Gage tell you who he was with?" I saw a sad look on his face.
"Yeah, he did. It was noone I knew. Their names were Jason, George and Ash." My heart skipped a beat. I started crying harder. It couldn't be my Ash. He was with me, he was at the movies. But then again he had to take me home. And he is a party animal. He coulda went back to that party. That would explain why he didn't call me this morning. But he wouldn't hang out with Gage, not even if he were drunk would he? And jason, that was one of Ash's friends. That one guy from the party I went to at his house. But they wouldn't hang out with Gage. They wouldn't do something so stupid.
"Maddie it'll be okay."
"NO it won't that 3 people I'm close to that have gotten hurt today. 3. You can't say that it's going to be okay." I yelled
"You'll get through this, You are a strong girl."
"I don't think I'm that strong anymore." I mummbled.
"You'll get through it, I know you will. Now I'm going to go see Gage, You can stay here as long as you want." I smiled.
"Thank you." I said. He called for Sam, took the backpack and left. I stayed on the couch crying. I picked up my phone. If I called Ash, I'd know the answer. I dialed the number. It rang. And rang And rang. Voicemail picked up. I cried harder. How did this happen? Why did it happen to me? I knew there was only one way to find out if it was my Ash or not. I stood up and got in my car, I drove to Ash's house. It wasn't late, maybe around 5 O'clock, I drove as fast as I could to the white house. I got out of my car and looked around. Only one car was in the driveway. I ran to the door and knocked as hard as I could. I waited as i heard footsteps. The door opened. Tracey looked at me, her eyes sad.
"Was it him?" I asked she nodded. This was it. Ash was gone. I collapsed on the doorstep. My face in my hands. tracey pulled me to my feet and led me inside. she sat me on the couch and went into the kitchen. She returned with a cup of tea. She handed it to me.
"Thanks." I mummbled as I sat up sipping the tea.
"Why are you not grieving?" I asked.
"Because I already did." She replied.
"But you are his sister, shouldn't you be grieving alot more than that?" I asked through sips of tea.
"Because, you can't let it ruin your life, no matter how important he was, you can't let it ruin you, you have to keep living, even though he isn't." She said.
"Thanks." I said after a second.

"It's nothing."
