| Y/N's POV |
A/N: don't hate me babes

"Lloyd!"

Jenna insisted on riding in the ambulance when Lloyd was pulled out on the stretch. Billie, Liv, Juno, and I drove in my car while I shakily dialed Tate's number. "Hey, Y/N/N, what's up?"

"Something happened to Lloyd, he's going to the hospital." The words spilt out of my mouth and I could hear her gasp from the other side.

"On my way." She immediately said, hanging up and I sighed softly as I followed the ambulance to the hospital. Billie was trying her hardest to calm Juno's crying down and I wasn't exactly able to do it right now.

"Give her this." I reached over and grabbed Jenna's sweater from the passenger's seat, passing it to Billie. "She loves Jenna's sweater, likes the smell of her mama."

"Aw." Liv said and grabbed the sweater from Billie, gently placing the sweater in Juno's lap. I pulled into the parking lot, jumping out the drivers seat as Billie got out first in the back, allowing me to slip in and grab Juno's baby carrier. I carried her inside while we all rushed to get through the doors. Jenna was already waiting in the lobby, pacing back and forth with her breathing on lockdown.

"Here, hold her for a sec." I whispered to Liv who kissed my cheek out of comfort, carefully taking my daughter. They sat at one of the chairs while I walked over to Jenna.

"Baby." I said, my girlfriend immediately rushed into my arms, clinging to me as she allowed the built up tears to fall.

She was crying on my shoulder, all I could do was hold her.

"Do we know anything yet?" Tate asked, her leg bouncing up and down with her mascara smudged. She left mid concert to come here, thankfully, the fans understood why it was so urgent that she left. Her boyfriend is in critical condition.

"Wish the doctor would hurry the fuck up." Jenna snapped from my lap. I handed Juno over to her so she could be much calmer. Jenna sat up, cradling our daughter in her arms and putting all her focus on her.

"Ms. Ortega?" The doctor peered from down the hall, making all of us stand up. "Here for Lloyd, correct?"

"Is he okay?" Tate immediately asked, I wrapped my arm through hers to calm her down.

"Unfortunately he's in critical condition at the moment." My heart dropped. "What Lloyd is experiencing is liver cancer. We ran a series of tests and the cause seems to be from the intake of tobacco he gets from his cigarettes. We found a pack in his pocket." Tate almost collapsed in my arms. "He, sadly, pushed himself into stage B. Meaning, if he receives no chemotherapy, he only has 16 months to live. I am legally required to tell you that he cannot be forced into taking treatment if he does not want to. It is completely up to him."

"Can we see him?" Jenna's voice wavered slightly when she asked.

The doctor sighed. "Because we have him in a medically induced coma, only one person may see him."

Jenna looked at Tate. "You can go." Tate almost shook her head but Jenna sent her a small smile. "I'll be okay. Go see your boyfriend."

Tate quickly followed after the doctor, leaving us to wait in the hospital again. Jenna sat in the seat, standing Juno up in her lap and playing with her gently. I looked at my baby, I knew she was holding back tears again.

"Jenna." I grabbed Juno from her, placing her in her carrier again and setting it down on the empty chair beside us. I turned to my girlfriend, bringing her head on my shoulder. She let out a single sniffle before forcing her face in my neck when she felt herself crying again. "It's okay, baby. It will all be okay. I promise, sweetheart." I looked at Juno who babbled, her hands reaching for Jenna. "Everything works out in the end."

—————

We took turns visiting Lloyd while he was in his coma. After Tate came back, Jenna went, and now it was my turn. "Be careful for the machines." The doctor reminded and I nodded in response as he shut the door.

I sat in the chair beside Lloyd's bed. His skin was almost pale except for his neck which shown blotchy, yellow spots. He was only breathing with the oxygen mask and his hands rested on either side of his limp body. I swallowed the lump in my throat, shakily breathing.

I almost cried when I saw Tate's name tattooed on his wrist.

"I don't know if you can hear us, Lloyd, but I sure as hell hope you can. We're all praying for you, hoping you make it out of this." I stopped for a moment, inhaling deeply. "I really really need you to power through this Lloyd. You are so strong, please do this. I- Tate will be crushed without you. Jenna will be crushed." I squeezed his cold hand. "I will be crushed."

The door was softly pushed open, revealing Jenna. "Thought I'd come get you, we were thinking of going across the street to Wendy's for food."

"Yeah." I sniffled and stood up, quickly wiping away the tears. "We can go." I put in a smile for Jenna.

"Come on, mama." Jenna wrapped her arm around my shoulders, sparing one last glance at Lloyd before we shut the door and walked down the hall, seeing our friends.

"I am so sorry." I stopped in front of Tate, my voice cracking a little. She couldn't help but let a few tears slip out as she wrapped me up in a hug.

"I'm sorry too." She discreetly whispered in my ear, rubbing my back before kissing my forehead. "Hungry?"

I nodded and cleared my throat, grabbing Juno's carrier only for Jenna to grab it and hand it to Billie who was waiting for it. "Come here." Jenna lifted me up in her arms, I wrapped my legs around her waist as we walked out of the hospital doors, standing outside for a moment so she could hold me.

I pulled my face out of her neck and held her cheeks. "He'll get through this."

Jenna sniffled with a smile. "I can't tell who you're trying to reassure more, me or you."

"I think it's both."
