I stood by my best friends bed. We had to transfer her to another hospital close to her town, since her mom had no way of getting all the way to Terrence. I wanted to inform Victor where we had taken her, but I decided not to, it was his fault all this had happened. Rebbecca and Carolyn were actually good friends when I introduced them, they kicked it off great. That was until Carolyn noticed that Victor and Rebbecca would act strange around her, and she wasn't stupid at all to see what was in front of her, although she did ignore it. One night while Katerina Carolyn and I went to the movies we returned to the house early, Rebbecca had stayed over and had been complaining that she hated horror films, so she decided to stay. When we came in we found Rebbecca and Victor, together. Carolyn had jut walked away, not a word said, I guess she expected him to run after her, like in those chick flicks where the love of your life always comes to apologize and then never do it again, but he didn't. He just got dressed and took Rebbecca to his house. Carolyn didn't speak to me nor Katerina, she changed her number and deleted all her social networks, she got back in touch with me after almost 2 weeks and when my mother invited her over she refused. My mother came to knowledge about Victors betrayal and wouldn't allow him, no Rebbecca to come to our house. That's when Rebbecca turned into a skanky little bitch with Carolyn, she would post up photos of her and Vic and start rumors at Terrance High, since most people had known Carolyn because of Victor, they believed Rebbecca. She once told them that Carolyn was the one cheating and that she had HIV and that's why she wouldn't come to Terrance any more. On graduation night when Carolyn, Rebbecca and I were all in the same stadium Rebbecca went over to a group of girls that attended Carolyn's school and started talking about her, when the girls informed Carolyn about it, all hell broke lose. Rebbecca ended up with a broken nose and Carolyn wasn't allowed to walk on stage which broke her mothers heart. All the conflicts, all the blood that was lost, all the words that were spoken, all for what? My best friend is on the brink of death and Rebbecca was facing Prison time for murder. I put my attention to Carolyn, she was pale. Her hair wasnt tied back how it usually was, she reminded me of sleeping beauty, except she had monitors and tubes all around her. I sat down next to her. I began to weep.
"Mija!" I heard a voice in the background. "What have they done to you!"
It was Carolyn's mother, she had a rosary in her hands and a picture of Carolyn and her in the other, she had been crying a lot, her eyes were puffy and red.
"Who did this!? Why! My baby!" She grabbed Carolyn's hand and kissed it, I couldn't imagine how she was feeling, I felt horrible for having invited her, I basically invited her to her death.
"Doña, she's still critical, the doct-" she looked at me and said.
"No these people have no idea, Carolyn's strong she'll make it, I have faith, god won't take her from me, he can't!"
I remembered how Carolyn had explained to me that her mother had already lost a baby more than once. Now the only child she had was being taken from her. Life can be really cruel.
"M'am, I need to speak to you, um may we talk in private?" Said the doctor who had just walked into the room.
"Piper can stay, anything you'll tell me is important to her as it is to me" she told the doctor getting up from Carolyn's side.
"Your daughter has entered a coma due to the fact that she lost more blood than we thought, she was pronounced dead for more than 5 minutes when she came back, the bullet that pierced her spine fortunately did not cause any permanent damage, although if she ever regains consciousness she will need therapy." I already knew that Carolyn was in a coma, the doctor at Terrence had informed me, Carolyn's mother continued to weep.
"We will continue to watch her, she's still not stable, you will need to leave in a few minutes, ill be watching and checking up on her hourly." He said as he stepped out of the room.
"Hold on Carolyn, I know you're strong, you've always been strong." She said, I took her home and then I drove home with Katerina who kept quiet the entire time she was with me. Katerina was affected by this, she had already lost her best friend to Leukemia just last week.
