-Lauren-
I sat in a hospital chair rocking back and forth while I tried to get Eliza to go to sleep.

"LoLo is Auntie Ally going to be ok" she asks, her green teary eyes looking up at me.

A shaky breath escaped my lips "I hope so baby. I hope so" I whispered as I held her in my arms.

"Hello I'm here for Ally Brooke Hernandez."

My eyes grew wide when I saw her. I handed Eliza to Dinah and marched over to her "you have a lot of nerve being here Victoria" I gritted harshly. Victoria just smirks at me "what am I not allowed to visit my baby sis" she questions.

I shake my head in disbelief "you're the one who put her in the hospital in the first place" I growled. She just stared at me "well she shouldn't have taken what was mine and then maybe I wouldn't have done what I did" she shot back.

A humorlessly chuckle left my lips "you're unfuckingbelievable! Normani is property! You can't just dump her and then come back and act like she's yours, it doesn't work like that Victoria" I snapped. Victoria scuffs "Lauren just stay out of it! This has nothing to do with" she yells. I glared at her "yes the fuck it does! Normani's my best friend and you're over here acting like a crazy overly obsessed ex! Get a life" I shouted at her.

Victoria raised her hand to hit me but a hand stopped her "walk away Victoria before things get ugly" Dinah demanded coldly. Victoria huffs as she storms away "are you ok babe" Dinah asked. I just sighed "yes just pissed off at the situation" I admitted. She kissed the top of my head as she hugged me the best she could with Eliza in her arms. I can't believe she came here. Why would she come here?

Two hours had passed and Normani finally fell asleep. I frowned as I looked down at her tear stained face, she doesn't deserve this. She's one of the best people I know she shouldn't be going through this.

"Lauren has the doctor come out yet" Dinah asked.

I shook my head sadly "nope. Do you-do you think she's ok" I asked quietly. Dinah sighs "I really really hope so" she says, tears threat to spill out of her eyes. I pecked her lips softly "it's going to be ok. We just have to have hop. It's going to be ok" I whispered to her.

Dinah just nods as she rested her head on my shoulder. I held her as close as I could and whispered reassuring words in her ear as I ran my fingers through her hair softly.

-Normani-
These past five hours have been the most painful hours I have ever experienced in my life. I've never cried harder in my life. I just-I just don't know what to do. What to think, because right now I'm freaking out my heart is in so much pain wondering if Ally is going to be ok. I don't know if I can see myself in a world without Ally Brooke by my side. I love her, she's my rock.

"We need to see her! We need to see Ally!"

"I'm sorry ma'am but you are going to have to wait."

"This is ridiculous! We demand to see her!"

I couldn't believe my eyes right now. I can't believe that they're here right now. I stood up from my seat and walked towards them "why are you guys here? I thought you disowned her" I asked coldly.

Jerry and Patricia looked at me with disgust and anger on their faces "you" her mother growls "you did this! You're the reason our precious daughter is in the hospital" she yells.

I scuffed "no the reason you're daughter is in the hospital fighting for her life is because of Victoria! She's the one who shot her" I screamed.

They both just shook their heads "it's Ally's fault for protection a dyke like you! If Ally didn't push you out of the way you'd be the one in the hospital and Ally would be safe at home with us" Jerry says "maybe this will show her that being a sinner is a dangerous path."

I couldn't believe them "leave. Leave now and don't come back until you actually start caring about Ally" I said coldly. They both just looked at me before walking away. I cannot believe them.

My leg shook nervously as I waited impatiently for the doctor to come out. Lauren intertwined our fingers together and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Ally Hernandez" the doctor calls out.

I stood up "yes yes what's going on? Is she ok" I asked quickly. The doctor looks at me "she lost a lot of blood but we got the bullet out and she's doing fine. She should be awake in a few hours" he tells me. I nodded as I breathed out a sigh of relief because of the fact that my baby is going to be ok. I'm so thankful right now.
