Flashback


Anthony's POV

I'm sitting in my recovery room... I'm alone. I don't want to be alone. It's dark outside. My heart is racing. I was so dizzy I felt like I could pass out at any moment. My head is killing me.  I grip onto the sheet unable to breathe. Tears drip down my face. My head hurts so bad its unbearable. My eyes are closed. I feel something touch my shoulder. I hear a familiar voice shush me in a calming and soothing way. The person hugs me tight. I'm breathing harder that ever. But I feel better knowing someone is with me. 

"Shh, it's alright papa." The person says. 

I open my eyes and look up. It's my mother.

 "Ma." I say quietly. 

"Si bebe soy yo." She rubs my back and hugs me tight. 

I just hug her back. 

Carleigh's POV

I wake up feeling terrible, like if I am Daveed I'd be cursing non-stop terrible. My whole body is sore. I feel like I've been hit by 5 trucks at once. Yesterday I found out that my legs are shattered and My lung collapsed and I may not make it. Great, just great, my Broadway dreams, crushed like my legs. Whyyy does this have to happen. I really don't want the spend the little time we have left in life sitting in a hospital bed not moving. *Sigh* Whoever did this I hope the cops find you and put you in jail. And I hope you rot in a tiny little cell with a cellmate that has anger issues and will beat you up. Yes. I said that, and I mean it! That's my death wish.

Lin speaking

So I was extremely happy to hear that the suspect was found. That was one good thing that happened. But then things took a turn for the worse again, the next day. (Sighs) 

Flashback 

Johnathon's POV

So I'm sharing a dressing room with Lin. It's like a hotel room kinda. Not that that big, but spacious. I am watching Netflix and my phone starts ringing. It's an unknown contact. I'm scared but I answer.

"Hello?" I say shakily. 

"Hello is this Johnathon Groff." a woman says. 

"Yes it is I." Sweating and barely breathing I listen to what she has to say next.

"Um so we have a bit of bad news. Your friend Carleigh, who was a part off the collapse, she has sadly died from her injuries." The doctor says. 

My jaw dropped.

"O-okay thank you." 

I hang up.

"What the hell?!" I say.

Lin looks back at me. 

"Groffsauce?" he says.

"Carls, she-she's gone." 

"WHAT!!!!" he screeches.

"The doctor called me. Said she died 'cause off the injuries." I sob. 

Lin almost passed out when he heard that. 

"Bu-, Wha- WHY?!" He pants. 

"I-I don't know" I cry. 

"But I just saw her last night, she couldn't couldn't breathe, and she was awake one minute and then passed out the other minute, but... I didn't expect her to go that quick." Lin sobs into my shoulder.

 "I know, I know. She fought as long as she could baby." I comfort him.

Why.
