I walk off with Lily to go pick up some snacks for the kiddos and the dumbass, maybe the adults if we have enough arm capacity. We get some juices, some jello, and a couple of napkins. I come back into the room to find Lizzy screaming at the dumbass’s stepdad so I leave Lily in the hall to find out what's going on. 

I see Lucas hurt and his heartbeat very weak while his stepdad weakly tries to help. I dropped everything, threw him aside, hit the call nurse button, and started CPR, yelling at Lizzy to wait in the hall. Lizzy rushes out of the room as nurses and doctors walk in. They take me off him and take over, getting a pulse back, but it's weak. They rolled Lucas off to surgery because something bursted, everything just became too fuzzy to understand them anymore. I sat in a chair as the girls rushed in crying and hugged me tightly. Lucas’s stepdad comes over to take Lily but she pushes him away, so he starts to say something but Lizzy looks up at him with tears in her eyes. "Mister, you should've helped Lucas, not hurt him. He was kind and didn't hurt anyone but you were a meanie." She goes back to hugging me and I rub her back along with Lily’s. 

Their quiet mom walks in confused and the douchebag twists a lie just for Lily to tell her the truth. "Sweetie, stop lying, your father would never do such a thing. Now would you like a hug?" Lily just came back to me for a hug and I got dirty looks. "How dare you turn my daughter against me? Who do you think you are?" 

She thinks I'm turning her daughter against her. I'll show her a traitor. "You're the one listening to that lying piece of shit husband who tried killing your only son. I'm the one who fucking saved his life, I'm also the one your eldest daughter gave a heart to, so try caring for your children instead of a shitty husband who would rather have money than someone's love. He would kill his own stepson rather than simply let him be a teenager." She looks like I just opened her stupid fucking eyes after I say that. "So no, I'm not turning your daughter, Princess Lily, against you. I'm making sure she knows she is loved and so is Lucas, you dumbass." I feel a small tug on my shirt and look at Lizzy, she tells me to stop cursing. "Yes prince Liz." A soft smile from her, then she goes back to hugging Lily and I. "Also ma'am, you can believe we both are lying, but Lizzy saw the whole thing and she hasn't done anything wrong to either of you." Lucas’s mother and step dad leave the room and I get the girls to curl up in a chair together so I can call to check on the babies. After I check on them, I look over to see Lily asleep with tear stained cheeks hugging a Lizzy who looks the exact same. I guess I should get some sleep too, I can't stay awake worrying. I sit in an empty chair and lean against the empty wall next to it while I fall asleep.  

    I wake up to Lizzy nudging me, telling me she’s hungry. This only makes me remember I dropped everything to come save Lucas. I look up to see Lily sitting and staring at where Lucas’s hospital bed should be. “Stay here and wait, jellybean.” I get up and head to the cafeteria to pick up food for the girls and myself, stressing about Lucas. I grab all the same things as earlier and head back to the room to see his guardians talking with another doctor and his mother crying into his step-dad. I walk past them and into the room to feed the girls. The three of us eat a jello cup each then Lily starts crying again and Lizzy comforts her. "Stay put you two." They nod and I leave to see the doctor walking away so I run up to him. "How is Lucas doing? Is he ok?" I shouldn't be worried about that nerd.

"You can go ask the adults, they can tell you about your little boyfriend." He sounds pissed that I'm even asking when he just explained but I don't care. 

"He's not my boyfriend and they wouldn't tell me, now tell me or I will hit you." He tells me that Lucas is still in surgery because they are finding a lot of damage on the insides and they are trying to fix it. I thank him and go back to the girls with the guardians in the room trying to separate them. "Don't ask them to separate because you think they're gonna kiss. My sister is keeping your daughter calm in a situation you started." I'm looking the guy dead in the eyes and he just huffs and takes my chair to sit.

I sit on the floor next to the girls and try to cheer them up a little with a promise of a tea party at some point after this but it makes them both a lot more sad.  "You two stay here, I'm gonna go take a walk as we wait." I get up and give both adults a death glare and leave. I walk around areas that I can, trying to clear my head of a lot of bad thoughts. He needs to live, I’ll kill him myself if he doesn’t. I keep walking while deep in thought until I bump into someone. “Watch-” I was so close to yelling but stopped myself, “Gee? What are you doing here?” 

Do I tell her that I’m here for Lucas, that I’ve been crushing on him since I saw him, that I wouldn’t let her little friend have him, that he knows about my home life? Should I sit and rant about everything that’s been going on to her? But then she would probably make fun of me and be mean to me. Or do I just lie to her about everything and just say I hit my leg just right while coming downstairs? Not telling her what truly happened and losing a possible ally. Way too many outcomes for me.

So I am going wifi free next week meaning less likely to reply to comments. Now I hope everyone enjoys this update
