Arionna's P.O.V

I woke up a few minutes ago and surpisingly Audrey still wasnt up. Shes not fighting hard enough. I hard loud yells coming from the hall so I looked out and saw my mom. "What THE HELL YALL CALL ME UP HERE FOR, I DONT GOT TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT"she yelled obviously drunk. I just wish she would get some help. She can't be putting anymore stress on Audrey right now. "Sorry ma'am we're gonna  need u to stop yelling, we called you here because your daughter Audrey was in an accident and got hit by a car crossing the street" a nurse said to her. "YALL MOTHERFUCKERS THINK I GIVE A DAMN, AND I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT THAT BAD ASS CHILD IS DOING" she yelled slurring her words. It just makes me sick seeing her like that. I remember when she was a good mom, I don't know what happened to her. I closed the door and pressed the red button on Audrey's bed calling a nurse. A few minutes later the door opened. "Ma'am please don't let her come in here, she won't do anything but cause more stress on her" I pleaded. "Don't worry, we called child services and your sister is going to be perfectly fine, your mother is in no condition to raise a child. And the bad news is that u also have to go. You are under the legal age." She said. "No please don't make me go, I turn 16 next month" I told her. "Idk if they'll let u leave in court but for now you have to be in custody of state. Stay here until I get back, I won't be back for a while, ok?" She asked. I just looked at her until I got it. She was trying to help me. God bless her. I turned to Audrey and watched her for a little bit. "Sorry princess but this is where we separate, I love u and I promise I'll visit u when I can, but for now stay strong and wake up for me. I hate to leave u but its better for you. I'll keep in touch as much as I can but I have to go now" I said and kissed her cheek. Her eyes suddenly opened and he grabbed my hand. "No sissy don't go, don't leave me here, you're gonna regret it Ari, I'll haunt u" she said in a deep voice. "Ahhhhhh" I screamed coming back to reality. I looked around the room seeing Audrey still "sleep". Oh thank god it was just a dream. I was still holding her hand from when I went to sleep yesterday. I looked at the clock and it was 9:24am. I'm kind of hungry. Maybe I could ask the nurse for a snack. I got out the chair and let her hand go and pressed the red button on her bed. 5 minutes later a nurse walked in. "Oh I thought she woke up" she said as she looked inside. "Oh no I just wanted a little snack" I told her "what would u like, cookies or icecream or?" She asked. "Could I get some ice cream, vanilla" I said as she walked out. While she was gone I thought it would be best to talk to Audrey. At least until she wakes up. I walked to her bed and grabbed her hand. "I'm gonna support u and be the best big sister I can be. Just wake up for me so we could move on and love the life we never had. U me and Tré. I noticed that u really liked him. When the nurse gets back with my ice cream I'm gonna visit Tré and I'll tell him how good you're doing." I told her before the door opened as the nurse walked in bringing me my ice cream."thank u" I said taking it before she left. "Well aud, I'll see u when I get back" I told Audrey before I walked out the room. "WHERE IS THAT SNEAKY LITTLE HEFFA?" Someone yelled. Oh gosh not again.Its the evil alcoholic witch. Audrey doesn't need this right now.I his behind a medical cart before she saw me and watched security take her out of the double doors. I walked out and walked to Audrey's nurse. "What was that about?" I asked. "Your mom was trying to take Audrey home but we can't let her do that, she's under the influence and isn't stable enough to raise a child. We already contacted social services and they're going to get Audrey once she is well" she told me. This is just like my dream. Only this time, its my job to make sure none of that happens. I walked away and towards Tré's room. "Hey" I said walking in after I knocked. "Hey" he said. "So what's the news?" I asked. "Well doc said I can leave, just waiting on the papers" he said. "Well good news for u and bad for us, my mom showed up and Audrey has to be taken into state custody since I'm under age and can't take care of her"I told him. "That suck" he said. "Ik, I just wanted to be a good sister"I said. Ik I say this a lot but I should've just left her. Not for my own sake but none of this would've happened. "Look dawgs, it ain't yo fault, u are a good sister and gf, you just panicked. I'm sure anybody else woulda did the same thing" he said. "Yes" I agreed and sat down. "DOCTOR SYMON AUDREY _______ JUST WOKE UP!" I heard a nurse yell in the hall. I jumped up and ran out to her room. When I got there she was in bed staring at the wall crying." Omg Audrey you're woke" I screamed and hugged her. "Sissy, I hate u, I thought u left me" she said. The nurse walked in. "I thought u said she wasnt gonna wake up for about a year" i said to the nurse. " apparently it was a 24 hr coma, sorry for the misunderstanding" she said and told Audrey everything that was going to happen about the state custody now she was mad at me. "Audrey I'm sorry, but its nothing I can do, its not my choice" I said. "I hate u,don't talk to me ever again, I wish u got hit instead" she said and turned the other way. "Audrey I can't believe u said that. It was so rude. I love u and I would never let anything happen to u, why do u think I took her away from mommy?" I asked. "Because you're a mean old lady and hate mommy because she likes me and not u" she said still looking the other way. I couldn't help but laugh. Her little attitude was so cute and unbelievable. I just couldn't take her seriously. "Audrey I love u" I said. "Whatever" she said "Remember what u said, u broke your promise" I told her "ik and I'm sowwy, sissy & me against the world." She said. I thought of a plan to get her out of here. I'm gonna ask the nurse if I can walk her down to the hospital cafeteria and just make a run for it. "Audrey press the red button" I told her as she did it making a nurse come in. "Ma'am could I take her down to the cafe to get a snack?" I asked. "Sure, just bring her back in time for the social worker to receive her" she said and left. "Come on audrey" I said and picked her up. She's gonna be moving a little too slow for me. I'm gonna stop by Tré's room to get him on the way. He's supposed to be getting out anyway.

After walking down the hall we reached Tré's room. Surprisingly he was already ready to go. I Told him the plan and he thought that I was crazy but hey, it'll work out. I laid her head on my shoulder and covered her with my jacket so no one would recognized her. "U sure dis gon work?" Tré asked. "Just hope" I told him. We got on the elevator and made it to the lobby and walked to the door. "Hey where are u going?" Somebody yelled making me scared. I looked around and saw a lady chasing her baby. That was a close one. Once we got close to the entrance doors we started running. Idk if anyone saw us or not but I didn't care. We just had to get out of there. We made it down the street to a bus stop."where are we gonna go?" I asked Tré starting to panic. What if they noticed and sent the police after us. "Calm down Ari, I'll call Tab and see if he know what to do" Tré said and got out his phone. After being on the phone for a little bit Tré ended the convo. "So what did he say?" I asked. "He said he on his way" he replied. I started hearing police sirens and seeing cars speed onto the hospital parking lot as a jeep pulled up in front of us. "Get in, wat y'all asses Jes standin der fo?" Tab asked as we jumped in the truck. "Damn Tré u havin me committ too many mfckn crimes, iain goin ta jail for kidnap" Tab said. "Sheesh u ain't have to do us like dat bro" Tré said laughin. We pulled into a driveway but I don't know where we are. "Aye y'all dis my gf Sasha crib" he said to us. I was a little nervous before. During the car ride Audrey fell asleep so that's something good out of this. We all walked to the door and he unlocked it and let us in."where sash at?" Tré asked. "She aint feelin gudd, we had a Lil prob earlier but we cool" Tab said back. He showed me a guestroom where me and audrey could sleep. Tré had to sleep in the living room. I laid Audrey on the bed and went back downstairs. Its a little too early for me to go to bed. I started thinking about Audrey. What if she still needs medication? All of these thoughts just scared me. I couldve put her in more danger. "Ayer cuhh look at dis" Tab said and turned on the news. It was already known. "5 year old Audrey _______ has been taken from the hospital today around 1:00. No one knows who took the child as it was said that the hospitals security cameras were not rolling and/or in service at the time" the news lady said. Thank god. "However, an eye witness has claimed that she saw 2 young girls take the child." She added. Oh I was relieved and it was funny. They obviously thought that Tré was a girl. "Ha dey called yo ass a girl" Tab said to Tré. "Chill dawgs" he replied back. "It was also said that Audrey's older sister had disappeared" the lady on TV said. "Do u think she had something to do with the tragic event?" She asked. "Go to newsnews.com for more current news , this is Rachel Line with NewsNews" she said as a commercial came on. Omg if anyway finds out, I'm screwed. Please don't have any evidence. Let us win at something for once.
