Lin's POV
"Olivia! Open up."

"Lin." Anthony says. He tells me to calm down and take a breath. There is nothing sharp in there and the window has a cage. She can't get out and she can't hurt herself. He says this all quickly and in Spanish, leaving Pippa confused. I'm crying. I know that. Pippa tries this door, picking around the lock with a hair pin.

"It'll be okay." He says.

"Got it."

"I got them." Oak says, handing me a set of keys. I have to test four keys before it opens and we rush in. We took too long.

"The broken mirror, shit." Anthony says as soon as he see's it.

"Olivia." I say to the figure in the corner. "Olivia?" I drop down next to her as someone turns on the extra light. Her arm is covered in blood and I hear Pippa start crying behind me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm tired."

"I know, I know." I sit down next to her and wrap my arms around her and Carleigh rushed in with the first aid kit Oak told her to get just in case.

"This is going to hurt." She warns her as she pours water in her arm. I look at her cast. She could hold a small object easily. It might have hurt but she definitely could have. Carleigh wets a cloth with the solution and gently pulls her arm towards her before setting it down. Liv jumps and jerks away from me. "I know, I know." She holds her arm tightly and cleans around it. Liv is in a great deal of pain and I just want to comfort her. Carleigh looks so sorry for her but she needs to clean them. She didn't do anything over her stitches at least. "There." Liv relaxes and leans her head against the wall next to her, away from me. She looks so damn helpless.

"But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling." I smile at her voice.

"Having fun, Liv?" Liv turns around with a smile and steps back on the board that Noah moves the camera to and then back on her. "You wanna do your kickflip."

"You mean fall doing one."

"You're getting closer."

"I'll do an Ollie."

"Lame." She ignores him doing it anyways. "No, kick flip." She rolls her eyes and steps back up. Sure enough, she falls. He flips the camera on him.

"Happy fake birthday, Liv! Here's for you to see you falling in- hm. How many years until you wanna see this video."

"None." She yells from the background.

"When you become famous I will."

"Then never." She throws her arms up victoriously in the background. He laughs and the video ends. Vanessa laughs, holding Seb in her lap.

I think she's known well enough to share this! Liv's fake birthday is this Friday! Love ya, Liv

"Fake birthday?"

"Maybe because she doesn't have a real one." I retweet it.

"Lin!" I hear five seconds later.

"It's adorable. I have to!" I yell. She walks in. "What's a fake birthday?"

"My friends celebrated it as my real birthday. This video is based off of five before it, filmed in Boston. Noah didn't know how to make it."

"Are those going to be released?"

"I doubt it."

"Awe. How's your wrist?"

"Fine."

"How was class?" She gives me a thumbs up. I generally don't like putting her in classes because she's not healthy but she has so much potential that I also want her to keep singing and dancing.

"Movie?"

"Sure."
