AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE hours, but was only a few minutes, the paramedics arrived at the scene. They took Madison and Vinnie drove down with her. With the little bit of strength she had, she held his hand. "I don't want to die." She smiled. 

Vinnie thought she was crazy, she wasn't going to die. Right? She's not? Please. He begged. "You're not going to, I promise." Madison started to cry. "Don't make promises you know you can't keep." She coughed. 

They made it to the hospital in record time. They rushed her into the room and Vinnie had to sit out in the waiting room. She began to slip, and an hour later, the doctor come out of the room. Vinnie stands up, the room was silent, not a good silent. 

"You should probably come see her." The doctor said, and Vinnie walked with him to her room. Her face was cut up, and her nose was side-ways, her left arm is broken, and her clothes were changed into the hospital gown. Those were only the visual injuries.

"Is she gonna be ok?" He asked, sitting next to her. "She's very unstable, it'll be a miracle if she survives." She looked over at Vinnie, and he grabbed her hand. "Maybe it's just supposed to be that way, I want you happy, whether not it's with me." She closed her eyes. 

Vinnie's heart sank as she flat lined. He was in a state of shock, and when the doctor told him to get out, he couldn't move. They had to pick him up an sit him in the waiting room. He finally came back to his senses and called Thomas. 

"Thomas, she just fucking died. I don't know what to do, please come to the hospital, I need you." "Jesus Christ, do you want me to bring anyone else?" "Whoever you can." Vinnie started hyperventilating. "Vinnie, man. Calm down, we're on our way, do not hang up." 

Vinnie didn't hang up, nor did he know what to do anymore. The doctor came out 5 minutes later, so did the others. Just as the doctor started talking, they walked in. "Please, sit down, everyone. You're going to want to." 

Everyone sat down, and so did the doctor. "Good news or bad news?" He asked, Vinnie sighed, "Good news." The doctor sighed, "She is no longer in pain." Vinnie's breathing became heavy. "Bad news?" "It has come with a great cost. I'm sorry, guys. Madison Lawrence has passed away, 6:06 PM, June 15, 2022." 

Vinnie's whole world shattered, with those 20 words. Just as he began to cry, he just passed out.
