Luck of the evening

Real life// One call away

My sister was in Hospital.

They didn't know if she was gonna make it.

I couldn't breathe.

Everything was closing in on me.

I could see the outline of a people in front of me holding onto either side of my face as I heard people shouting my name.

Yet all I can get out was,

"Cathy's in hospital"

Tom's POV;

I heard my name being called by Hetty as she came sprinting towards me with a scared look on her face. "Tom... Tom it's Lizzie she's having a panic attack!" She shouted reaching me before grabbing my arm and dragging me towards the direction of the make up trailer where Lizzie was, everyone was there as Hetty called for people to get out of the way.

As we stormed in I saw Scarlett, Gwyneth and Robert around Lizzie holding her, she seemed to be struggling to breath from the attack. Scarlett and Gwyneth seemed to be trying to get through to her as Robert held her stopping her from injuring herself.

"I found Tom" Hetty announced sounding out of breath as she pushed me forward as Scarlett moved out of the way for me as I seemed to move automatically. Wrapping my arms around her as Robert let go off her, I pulled her close rubbing her back in a soothing manner, "Liz, you gotta breath" I mumbled quietly and calmly into her ear as I attempted to get to start breathing calmly. "It's okay I've got you, your okay" I spoke softly, as her chest started to rise and fall more steadily yet still to fast to be normal, I moved taking Lizzie's face in my hands as I moved a piece of hair out the way.

"Lizzie you need to take deep breaths for me okay" I stated clearly in simple sentences, she seemed to start to recognise that there was someone in front of her, by now only Scarlett, Maisie, Hetty and Harrison where the only people left in the room. Presuming Gwyneth and Robert got everyone away.

"Cathy's in hospital" Lizzie whimpered quietly breaking down more as the words slipped from her lips.

I hear both Hetty and Maisie gasp.

"She'll be okay.... we know she will... who... who else is gonna be there at your premiere or... or when you get home who's gonna be the one to make dinner for all us hunger working people when we come round to visit... Cathy is one of the strongest people I know Liz she'll be okay" I tried to comfort her with words of encouragement that seemed to work as the entire room went silent as we stayed on the floor for a further five or ten minutes till Liz was calm enough and the pain was over.

I picked Lizzie up bridal style, carrying her out towards her trailer as people stopped to watch us as everyone that was left in the room with us followed.

The directors had joined the people who had gathered round us as we entered Lizzie's trailer I put her down on the couch making sure she was comfortable as she looked as if she was about to pass out due to exhaustion. "You want me tell them what happened?" I asked quietly moving some hair from her face as she sleepily nodded, "I trust you.." she mumbled before falling silently asleep.
