Katherine's POV:
It's been three weeks since lauren has step foot in a hospital, and she's been getting better. She can walk kind of by herself, she still has a couple problems walking a little but it's mainly good. Were about to go to the beach because mom said since lauren's getting better she wanted us to take her to the beach so she can swim and maybe it will help her. So i'm changing while the rest of my sisters are waiting and calling my name. Because I was out getting some things at the store when they called me and said they were going to the beach so I told them to hold on so I can go with them. I hurried home and found them all waiting in the living room and then they told me to hurry up. And after I told them to be quiet and that i'm coming, they still call my name. I finished getting on my bathing suit, and then I went downstairs. "Finally, you were taking forever." Dani said getting up. "Haha, okay so let's go." I said walking to the front door. They all followed me out to the car and then we drove to the beach. We all got out and then we went to put down our stuff, then we told lauren to take her shirt off because her bathing suit was under it, so she took it off and there was a stitched up cut, on her stomach and her shoulder. Then she took her shoes off, then we all went to the water. We started swimming and then we decided to race and surprisingly lauren won out of all of us. After a while we ended up drifting back to the beach, then we decided to have some running races and it was Dani and lauren that were the only ones that felt like racing so they raced each other and it was a tie then we went home. When we got there everybody else was in the kitchen eating dinner so we sat down and ate. "So lauren how was swimming?" Mom asked."It was fine and at first it stung my cuts but then after a little bit it wore off." She said taking a bite of her food. "That's good, that means the cuts are healing." She said. I was doing the dishes when lauren came in, "Hey Kath can I help you?" She said coming to the sink to help me. "If you want to." I said giving her a plate. "So do you think you are ready to go back to school?" I asked her. "I asked mom and dad if I could get homeschooled-" She said looking down. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "It's just when I asked them they said, that the only reason they haven't asked to take me out of school was because the publicity, since they knew I was related to Cimorelli." She said. "What!, i'm going to go talk to mom-" I said before lauren stopped me. "Look Katherine I will take anything from the bullies, since I can't live my dream, at least you guys can live yours." She said smiling and hugging me. Then all of a sudden the rest of our sisters came in and joined in the hug also. "lauren you would do that." The other Lauren asked. "Yes because since I can't live my dream then I want you guys to live your dream." She said hugging us tighter then pulling apart from the hug. After a while we went up to bed because the next day we are filming a cover and lauren has school tomorrow. The next morning I got up then woke lauren up, she went to the shower while I went downstairs to bake breakfast before lauren has to go to school. lauren and the rest came down the stairs, and sat down then I passed out the plates, then I sat down and we started eating. "Hey lauren, it's about time to go." I said when I looked over at the time. "Okay guys see you later." She said smiling and walking out the front door. "Bye." We all called before she shut the door. Few hours later, I got a call from lauren's school telling that lauren is in the principals office. "Guys come in here." I called out. "What's wrong Kath." Dani asked walking in right before the rest came in. "I just got a call from lauren's school, she was in a fight with another kid and got in trouble." I said. "We need to go now then." Christina said rushing to the front door. Then we all got in the car and drove to lauren's school and we went inside. "Hello i'm Christina, and this is Katherine and we are lauren's sisters." Christina said shaking lauren's principals hand. "Well I bet you heard already, about the whole fight thing." Mrs. Roberts said. "Yes we are well aware of what happened." I said. "Well for her actions we are suspending her for two weeks." Mrs. Roberts said. "Wait what's happening with the other kid who was fighting with her?" Christina asked. "Well he is part of the football team and has to be at the games so he just has to go to detention." She replied. "Well lauren plays basketball, so why can't she just go to detention?" I asked. "Well since she doesn't play for the school there's nothing we can do." Mrs Roberts said. Just then we heard banging coming from outside, then we all ran outside to see lauren getting shoved against a locker. "Hey stop." Mrs. Roberts said trying to get lauren and the other kid to back off. Then lauren got down off the locker and slammed the kid into the locker and then started kicking him in the stomach, but the kid didn't stop there instead he punched her in the face and she fell back but that didn't stop lauren she kept fighting back. Only until Mike and Alex came in the school because the other Lauren called them to tell them what happened, then they stopped the fight and pulled lauren away from the kid. "See it's not fair that he only has to go to detention and is not suspended." I said pointing out. "You're right," She said. "Mr. Ortega you are expelled and same with you Mrs. Cimorelli." She finished. "About time." lauren said grabbing her backpack then getting her things from her locker then walking out the school and in the car because we parked in front of the school so we could see her get in and just sit there. Then me and Christina had to sign some papers for lauren getting expelled. We all piled into the car and it was a silent ride until Christina decided to break the silence, "lauren why would you fight that boy?" She asked looking back at lauren through the rear view mirror. "He came at me and was beating me up, I just couldn't stand there and just take it. So I fought back and then Mrs. Roberts saw and then got some other kids to break us apart then it all went downhill from there." She said looking out the window. "Well since you did that you are grounded for a month." Christina said. "What? I was defending myself." lauren said raising her voice. "But you kept fighting afterwards and for that you are in trouble." Christina said. The whole argument between them lasted till about ten minutes after we got home. "You know what, if you keep arguing it's going to be longer." Christina said making her voice the loudest. "You know what how about you guys just don't worry about me, because it was self defense so i'm going to leave this house and find somewhere to go where I don't get in trouble for sticking up for myself." lauren said yelling at us then walking to the front door. "Wait lauren your right you were doing it for self defense." Christina said calming down. "I just freaked out okay i've just never had a sister that has gotten into a fight before so I just bugged out." Christina finished, walking to lauren to stop her from walking out the front door. "And at least you can get homeschooled, and you don't have to put up with those kids at that school." The other lauren said. "Yeah and you can spend more time with us." Amy said perking up. "Yeah." We all said. "Okay and i'm sorry for bugging out also." lauren said walking back to the rest of us. She was walking to the rest of us when she fell and blacked out. "What happened?" I asked running to lauren. "Guys it's fine she just fainted from exhaustion she just needs her breathing thing from upstairs so Lisa go get it." Christina said looking at Lisa. Lisa came back with the machine and then Christina put the mask over lauren's face. It took a little while for lauren to wake up, and during her being knocked out Christina said, "That means her Pneumonia is coming back." She said looking at all of us, then lauren's hand moved and she sat up with the help for the rest of us. Then I put her on the couch and she went to sleep then we all went to sleep.
