Behind These Walls

Starr's POV

"So you needed my help, what's up?". I welcomed Chris inside and immediately led him up to Crystal's bedroom. He quietly followed me and entered after I did. "I need your help with Crystal. She is barely alive in the sho-" I couldn't finish my sentence as he rushed to the bathroom door wasting no time.

He comes back carrying her. He lays her on the bed and feels her pulse. "Crap." He muttered after doing so. "Is there a problem Christian?" I ask panic clearly taking over my voice. "Her pulse is too weak, she is freezing cold and she is slightly shivering." I register his words and nod slightly. "Get her dressed in the warmest clothes you can find and let's get her to hospital." He says exiting the room.

After dressing her we quickly rushed down to the car, with Christian carrying her like she weighed nothing. He placed her on the backseat which I also took so I can rest her head on my lap. Chris took the driver's seat and off we went.

"Is there someone we can call, parents, brother, sister?" Christian asks looking at me through the rear view mirror. "Actually yes, her brother Lewis." I gently grabbed my phone from my back pocket. Quickly dialling his number to no avail. I tried it five times before I gave up. "I can't seem to reach him, it goes straight to voicemail." I tell him with a sigh escaping my mouth.

"okay I guess we on our own then." He says running his hand through his hair. We got to the hospital and quickly escorted her inside. "WE NEED HELP.!!" Christian shouted to the workers who quickly brought a stretcher. "What's wrong with her?" a nurse asked.

"We found her in the shower unconscious, with cold water falling onto her. Her pulse is weak and she is cold and shivering." Christian quickly answered her. "Okay please wait here." We nodded and went to the waiting room. Christian started pacing up and down only making me more anxious.

"Chris" I call out but he seems to be in his own world. "Christian!" I shout. He stops and looks at me. "Yeah." He said looking very uneasy. "Stop pacing you making me more anxious." I said tears pooling my eyes. "I'm sorry Starr. I'm just really worried about her, she looked ready to die any minute."He said sighing and sitting down.

I looked at him shocked, because for as long as I've known him he has never been worried about a girl before." Why are you worried you barely even know her?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows. He looked at me then smiled a little as if he just went down memory lane.

"Actually that's not true. I've actually known her for quite a while now." I looked at him shocked because she had never said anything to me before. "What, seriously?" my shock clearly not being hidden. "Yep, I'm in some of her classes, but I don't think she has noticed because she is always at the back quite and her face in her books. That's how she bags those straight A's." He said running his hand through his head again.

"Well that's a shocker, considering that she is always in her shell." I say sounding sarcastic. "Leave me alone." He muttered and lightly shove me. We laughed a little and there was silence again.

"Crystal Diamond?"
