Scott's POV

Staying up late to watch Netflix and finishing up Mitch's bucket of popcorn is my thing, but not Cassie's healthy yet disgusting fruit with vegetables juice. Ugh, don't remind me of that. I'm having terrible stomach ache this morning till now because of the really weird combination of popcorn and juice. Eww! 

"Hey Scott! Are you done with your business in the toilet yet? I seriously need to use it now!" Mitch yelled.

"Just a minute! I'm almost done!" I replied.

"Well, then okay. Be fast!" Mitch yelled again.

It feels so good to excrete everything out!

"Okay, you're next. Sorry for keeping you waiting" I went out of the toilet.

"Okay, whatever. Bye." Mitch closed the toilet door.

I'm too tired after a whole night, well it's time for me to have some sleep. Oh wait! I should go check on Cassie. I wonder what she's been doing in her room.

The door of Cassie's room was slightly opened. Hmm...That's weird! She never leaves her door open unless.................IS SHE TRYING TO PRANK ME OR SOMETHING? 

"Yo Cassie! I know you're trying to prank me... Come out, come out wherever you are" I pushed the door. 

I don't see her anywhere. 

"Cassie?" I called her name again.

If she's no in here, then she's probably in her toilet. I walked to her toilet and realized Cassie was lying down on the floor with an empty bottle. I picked up the bottle and read the wording on it. 'PAIN KILLER. 1 PILL FOR KIDS UNDER 12, 2 PILLS FOR ADULTS ABOVE 13.'

"Cassie? Cassie? Don't try to scare me, okay? I'm serious! Wake up! Please, wake up!" I screamed.

Oh no! Cassie must have overeaten the pills! I ran outside to call 911 from my phone. 

911 : 911. What's your emergency?

Me : Hello! My friend has fainted in her bathroom! Please call the ambulance now!

911 : Okay, sir. Calm down. We're on our way there to your house.

Me : Thank you! Please be fast!

I ran to Cassie's room to take her out from the toilet after the call as Mitch came out from the outside toilet.

"Hey Scott! Are you okay? Why are you rushing into Cassie's room?" Mitch asked.

I ignored him. I'll explain to him later anyways. 

"Hello?! You hear me!" Mitch asked again.

I came out from Cassie's room with her in my arms. I put her down on the couch in the living room.

"Cassie fainted and I just called the ambulance!" I explained.

"Wait. What?! Cassie! What happened to her?!" Mitch walked quickly towards us.

"She took too many pain killers. I don't know why" I continued. 

"She said she had a headache this morning, so maybe that's the reason why!" Mitch said.

"I'm guessing that too. We must call the rest to inform them!" I said.

"I'll call them" Mitch helped.

Soon, the ambulance came and we were also sent to the hospital. Kirstie, Jeremy, Avi, Esther and Kevin arrived at the hospital. I explained what happened to everyone while we were waiting for the results.

"Ms Carter's guardians?" Dr Lambert called us.

"We are here! So how is she doing?" Kirstie asked.

"She's fine now. Thank god! She took only 5 pain killers. We did some operation and she will be awake probably tomorrow morning. You can enter the room to see her" told Dr Lambert.

We gathered around Cassie, not knowing what to do next. 

"Cassie will be staying in our apartment once she's awake. Thanks for taking care of her for these 2 months" Kirstie told Mitch and Scott.

"Huh? No, wait. Kirstie, she's fine staying in our apartment. We know that there's so many stuff going on with Cassie, but we promise to take care of her nicely. Okay?" Scott said.

"But-" Kirstie spoke half way.

"No buts. A promise is a promise. We will take care of her properly." Mitch interrupted. 

"Fine." Kirstie replied.

"Hey um... guys. About the tour thing which I said we shouldn't stop, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I was rude and selfish. Cassie is also part of us, so I should appreciate that." Kevin added.

"It's okay, Kevin. I was wrong about that to. I should think about what others felt." Kirstie said.

We did a group hug, but this time without Cassie. 

"Hey... Don't worry, guys. Everything's gonna be okay" I said.

Everyone nodded. Will everything be okay?
