Laurel and Barley ran in "hands off my little brother" you're not hurting him anymore he said firmly you're not hurting my son Laurel also said firmly. But officer bronco grabbed him by his hair MOM BARLEY HELP! Ian yelled. Ian kicked,bit,punched screamed Barley tried saving Ian but was too late Ian was thrown into traffic and was hit by a car and was sent flying from the street to almost there porch Ian fell on Rocks

I'm right here Ian barley said but Ian was slowly closing his eyes Ian please stay with ; Mom come here I am coming Hi honey you ok she asked. Ian's eyes were almost closed buddy stay awake and then Ian's eyes completely closed Barley's heart sunk. He's still breathing thankfully ; call the ambulance Barley please Laurel said. Iandore Jay Its OK sweetie Mom is right here she said as she was stroking her unconscious sons hair .Barley grabbed his phone and was going to call the ambulance. But thankfully neighbor saw the whole thing is he OK laurel shook her head.

Barley looked at Ian's jaw both sides were really badly bruised and it looked like his legs are broken again. The ambulance came and so did the police the police arrested bronco and put him in high security prison. As they picked up in gently Laurel and Barley freaked out Ian's back look extremely stiff most likely broke it in and most likely is a spinal cord injury this position will be paralyzed for the rest of his life from the back down the paramedic said. Laurel and Barley lost it Barley then hugged each other I love you so much the neighbor that called the ambulance offered to drive them to the hospital since they were both in a very emotional state yes please thank you so much Laurel

They let the ambulance go first I was going fast I'm gonna go try to go as fast as I can as fast as the ambulance is going Barley just watched the ambulance go he started punching the car I'm so sorry he said that's good the neighbor responded.I'm so angry why would someone do such a thing to my little brother. I don't know Barley but he's gonna be OK ,OK ? Laurel replied. I'm worried about him waking up in the ambulance barley said . Why do you say that is he going to be ok? the neighbor asked. I hope so Barley replied he has anxiety disorder which causes him to have really bad anxiety attacks I'm so sorry to hear the neighbor responded thank you but he's allergic to wheat eggs and peanuts and actually two weeks ago he had an allergic reaction to wheat the first time and he has epi pens because he was previously allergic to peanuts . but we had to call ambulance and he did all by himself. Well I was really brave of him the neighbor answered yeah I know and Barley took a deep breath about eight months ago it was his birthday And he wanted to go on a quest because he's a wizard but the same person for him pushed him down the steps and broke both his legs and he was in a wheelchair for six months made any that I don't even know is breathing barley said last time we saw him he was honey laurel said . Sorry I'm just really concerned about my brother I know bar I am concerned about him to.

Ian was still unconscious when they got to the hospital they x-rayed him all over to see what he broke he broke his back completely and half his Legs all over again and tore every ligament in his knee and his Achilles He just basically did the whole broken legs on his birthday process over again and he had broken both sides of his jaw so they wired it shut. Barley still refused to leave Ian's side oh Ian I'm right here it's OK buddy. Barley started singing there favorite song from their childhood."I'd Tip my hat" " I'd tip my hat to you I'd do just that buh bum bum bum take it right off to for you but I haven't got a hat buh a bum bum. barley wiped a few of his tears and then continued "I'm just a college boy even at that buh bum bum I'd tip my hat to you but I haven't got a hat buh a bum bum". I'm really not a sap its plain you see hours but if i wore a cap they never let me back in the university".Barley wanted to finish the song but he just lost it again.

later they heard a thumping noise who is Ian trying to figure out where he is in that around days he tried getting up but couldn't no buddy you can't get up and then Ian felt his jaw and got really worked up I know buddy he wanted to hug Barley so bad but knew he couldn't it's going to be OK Ian you're a need a long surgery but you're going to be OK buddy OK Ian. Barley grab a pen and paper so Ian could write up what he needs to say what all happened to me he wrote on the paper well Ian you broke both your legs again just like you did on your birthday you did the whole process over I mean you broke your femur your knee your ankle both you Tore every ligament in your knee, ruptured her Achilles legs, you broke your jaw and you broke your back and have a spinal chord injury. Ian freaked out when he found Out he broke his back. Barley continued you're gonna be paralyzed for the rest of your life Ian cried Even more. it's OK it's gonna be OK I promise barely said. Ian Tried hugging him but he couldn't so Barley held his hand . Thankfully You Only need that thing in your jaw for one day. Ian tried Giving a smile but it hurt. Laurel had to go home to let Blazey out Ian I got to go home she said started to cry more. I'm coming back honey she said .oh buddy Its OK I'm here and you're safe forever now I promise to keep my Promise this time and I'm so sorry For breaking it once more I'm truly sorry barley said.

A day later Ian got his Wire out and could talk a little bit but I hurt so he just muttered stuff under his breath .Hey Mom he said extremely softly yes Ian she answered.

Being only three and half years apart it was hard for barley to be Ian's Older brother and parent him at the same time.

Three weeks later they went home. they were surprised they got to go home so Early. Ian had a feeding tube in his nose from losing so much weight by not eating had lost more than 25 pounds. Barley was home for a few days Ian and laurel let barley leave the hospital for a few days. Barley heard the door open followed by a rolling Noise. Barley ran over to see what was going on and was shocked.

Barley yelled. Oh girl Imised you soooo I miss you yes of i did Ian said to his dragon. Barley went into the kitchen. Blazey sniffed at Ian's armrests concerned. I am going to be in here for the rest of my life Ian said. Ian pushed his wheelchair over to the kitchen table Barley just sadly looked at him. are you OK bar Ian asked. I'm fine just don't wanna see you like this for the rest of your life Barley answered.
