Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister)

Burning brighter than the sun (fire) (part 2) (final)

You woke up with a throbbing pain on your head. You didn't know where you were, but as you started looking around you realized you were in a hospital room. You started to panic; you didn't remember a thing of what happened or how you got there.

- "Oh, you're awake. Hello Elizabeth! How are you feeling?" A lady that was writing something down while checking the monitor, said.

- "What happened? Who are you?" You asked looking at the IV in your arm and getting more stressed as the second passed.

- "I'm nurse Layla, I was looking at your vital signs. You're okay, there was a fire at your house..."

Before she could talk anymore you sat up straight recalling everything. - "THE FIRE! Where's my mom? Where's Taylor? The cats? Are they okay?" Your breathing accelerated it, and you started coughing.

The nurse grabbed an oxygen mask and placed it on your face, covering your nose and mouth. - "Shhh, it's okay. You're okay. Breathe in. Take a minute" the nurse said rubbing your shoulder and gently pushed you back.

In that moment your mom and Tree entered the room.

- "Darling, you're awake!" Andrea said walking towards you. The nurse moved so your mom could hug you. You hugged your mom back and tried to take off the oxygen mask. Your mom pinned your hands down. - "Don't Lizzie. You need it"

The nurse grabbed one of your hands delicately and placed it on the mask: - "Hold it yourself for another minute" she said smiling.

Tree brought a chair for Andrea to sit by your side and the nurse quickly looked for another chair and placed it on the other side of the bed for Tree to sit. After a couple of minutes your breathing was better, and the nurse signaled that you could take it off.

- "How are you feeling Lizzie?" Your mom said stroking your hand.

- "Confused, my head hurts, my chest hurts too. How are you? How's Tay? Where is she?" you said trying to touch your head with your free hand, but Tree quickly grabbed it.

- "I'm okay. Your head hurts because a beam from the ceiling fell, you had a concussion and a bad cut that needed some stitching" Andrea explained.

You nodded slowly. - "And Tay?" Where's Tay? Is she okay?" You asked with your chin wobbling.

Your mom squeezed your hand. - "She's in surgery. The beam landed on her clavicle and her wrist and some ribs, she had her arm broken in three parts"

You were about to ask something else, but Tree read your mind. - "The cats are in my house, they're okay" The redhead said smiling.

- "Is Luna fine?" You asked with your eyes watering.

- "Yes, they're both fine" Tree rubbed your hand.

Your relief was immediate but then you realized - "I'm so sorry...I shouldn't have run inside again" tears were escaping now.

- "It was a dangerous thing to do, but the important thing is that you're okay" Your mom said.

A doctor came to your room and asked Andrea to step outside for a word, he needed to inform something on Taylor's surgery. Andrea stood up nervously, faking a smile and stepped out with the doctor.

- "This is all my fault" you said, and your breathing was struggling again, and you were sobbing.

Tree tried to calm you down - "No, Lizzie. Breathe"

- "What if she dies? Oh my god. I would've gotten my sister killed" you said in between sobs and coughs.

Tree grabbed the oxygen mask and placed it on your face: - "Relax sweetheart. You need to breathe, doctors said that you inhaled a lot of smoke, and your lungs are struggling. You need to breathe deep and take it easy. You didn't kill anyone"
