Laurens pov.  

i woke up later in the day. it was some time after lunch.  i didnt want to get up i was to sore.  i sat up in bed and looked and my stomach.  im glad i put some bandages on it or my shirt would have been ruined.  there were bruises all on my stomach too.  i slowly got up and groaned in pain. 

i took each step slowly and went to the bathroom.  i looked in the mirror and saw my cheek was still a little red.  even when its not red anymore it hurts to touch.  i put a little of lisas make up to cover it up.  

then i slowly walk down stairs.  while going down the stairs i bumped into the railing "sorry" i said.  did i really say sorry to a railing?  im so pathetic.

"lauren i left you a sandwhich on the counter" katherine shouted from somewhere.

"thank you" i yelled

i went to the counter and saw a ham and cheese sandwhich, yummy.  i took a bit and my cheek and jaw hurt.  i hate rachel.  it took a while but i ate the sandwhich.

i went and sat on the couch with all my sisters. "where are the boys and mom and dad?" i ask the older ones.

"dad took the boys to a wrestling show and mom went to grandmas, christina and i are in charge" kath told me.

good, a nice quiet evening. i just wanted to lay down but there was no room to lay on the couch.  i rolled onto the floor, not a good idea. i let out a quiet wimper. no one heard me.

"uhh, laur? why are you laying on the ground?" amy laughed

"cause i want to lay down" i roll over onto my stomach and us my arms as a pillow.

"what do you all want to watch?" lisa was look through the channels.

"how about a movie?" christina takes the remote from lisa.

"ok, harry potter?" katherine says.

"sure" christina puts on harry potter.

during the movie i start to cough a lot. i dont want to interrupt so i walk to the bathroom.

"lauren what are you doing?" dani watches me leave

"bathroom" i tell her

when i get to the bathroom i cant stop coughing. i cover my mouth with my hands and cough again.  when i look at my hands there is blood on them, what the heck? i cough up a little bit more blood int the sink. i just keep coughing. but not every cough has blood.

"lauren whats taking so long?" i heard a voice get closer. it was dani.

i couldnt answer cause i was coughing.  the blood wasnt like a lot, but blood shouldnt come from your mouth.  dani knocks on the door "lauren come on"

i just cough. 

"are you ok? why are you coughing a lot?" dani opens the door a looks at me.  

"why is there blood?!  lauren are you okay?!" she panics

i just keep coughing. "christina! kath!" dani shouts poking her head out the door

"what!?" i think that was christina.

"somethings wrong with lauren!" dani hands me a towel.

there were more foot steps coming.  i felt kind of dizzy, i wanted to sit down.  my throat was on fire from coughing.  "what is it dan" lisa asked.

"look" dani said.

"oh my gosh lauren!" christina ran to me.  "what happened?"

"shes coughing blood!" dani states the obvious.

"why?" katherine asks.  kath, amy and lisa stay by the door with dani.

i keep coughing and christina rubs my back. 

"i dont know!" dani gets another towel.

"we should take her to the hospital" christina directs me out the door. "dani bring more towels!"

she gets me into the car and hands me a towel. i cough into it.  i get more dizzy by the second and its hard to focus. katherine drives, christina sits next to me, amy in the front with kath and lisa and dani in the back.  lisa helps christina with me. i lean back in my chair with my head up. 

"no, you need to stay up so you dont choke" christina keeps me sitting up. 

when we get to the hospital i dont cough as much but my shirt is ruined.  darn it. im so dizzy and weak i cant really walk so christina picks me up.  she runs into the building followed by the others.  katherine and lisa go to get someone for me while christina sets me in a chair.  dani and amy sit on either side and christina kneels in front of me.

they eventuallly get me into a room and get e to stop coughing.  eww, my mouth tastes like blood.
