A Sudden Change in Events

Chapter 7

I made it home and ran straight up to our room. I set my things on my bed and walked over to my dresser. I pulled out a hoddie and sweat pants. I quickly changed and sat down on the bed. I was scrolling through Facebook when I realized it was extremely quiet.

"Livvy, Justin, Elizabeth?" I searched the house and found a small note on the kitchen counter.

Viv,

Somethings happened. Please meet us at the hospital when you get home.

Love, Livvy.

My heart dropped. I grabbed my car keys, and I packed a small bag with phone charger etc. I raced out to the car and drove as fast as I could to the hospital. so many things could be wrong. I don't know what to think. The road blurred as I tried to fight back tears.

I get to the hospital and run to the front desk. "Daivis family please,"

"Your going to have to be more specific than that ma'am,"

"Are you kidding me? I don't know what's going on I was just tol-," I couldn't finish.

"Vivienne," Livvy said. I looked over and saw Livvy standing there, eyes stained red from crying.

"What in the world is going on?" I run up to her and engulf her in a hug.

"It is J," Liv said in a soft voice. Almost unheard. My stomach dropped. These people are the closest thing to a family I will ever have. JoJo is like a littler sister to me. I've known her since the day she was born. Now some people may say that you can't have that type of relationship with a sibling that's not yours, but they are so wrong. I feel like my life at this moment in time is collapsing around me all over again. Too much has happened these past few weeks.

"What happened?" I ask trying my best not to cry.

"I don't even know. One second she was trying to crawl and the next my mom is screaming for me to call 911. Viv I am so scared,"

"Me too, where is she right now?"

"Fourth floor, she is in the NICU," and we walked slowly together to the elevator. We got to JoJo's room and everyone was in tears. The second Elizabeth saw me and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I walked over to her and she engulfed me in the biggest hug ever. It reminded me of when I would get scared and run to my mom, and that made me cry even harder. We broke from the hug and I looked over at J. She was in one of those incubators, and there was so many cords and tubs all over her little body. I look to find Livvy standing in the corner, I walk over to her and hug her.

After awhile we both decided to go down to the food court and get something to snack on. She went ahead of me cause I was going to go out to my car and grab my bag. I sat down for a second and decided to call Preston. The phone rang for what seems like forever before he answered.

"Hey," he said sounding like he just woke up. I look at the clock to see that it's almost mid-night.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize what time it was...its just that my night went downhill when I got home and I really needed to hear your voice so I'm sorry I'll let you g-" he cut me off.

"Hey slow down, what happened?" he asked. I took a deep breath.

"Once I got home I saw a note on the counter and it told me to go to the hospital. So I quickly packed a small bag and ran out the door. I got here and almost freaked out on the reception lady and...it's JoJo Preston. Something is seriously wrong and I know that they aren't my real family and that I don't know why this means so much to me but I just love them so much and J is like the little sibling I never had and I don't think with all that is going on I have the mental ability to deal with everything,"
