Lauren's POV
"Sweetheart do you need an ice pack?" A nurse walking by asks as Katherine leaves to go back with the right side of the family.

I don't deserve their help.

I deserve this pain.

I shake my head no as the nurse looks at me skeptically.

She comes back despite my request putting one in my lap.

Odd.

I let the ice pack chill my lap to the point of pain before actually putting it one my cheek.

I may deserve pain but this feels more like torture.

Katherine's POV
I roll into the room and Dani is shooting everyone death glares.

What the heck happened?

"How's Lauren?" She asks as her eyes land on me and I'm lost for words for a second.

I manage to come up with something staring straight at Lisa, "Besides a purple cheek fine." It is a slight lie because she seemed depressed.

Dani rolls her eyes at me and I'm shocked, "Do you guys not care at all about Lauren?" She asks and I know I missed something important.

"Or are you just horrible big sisters?" That makes all of us snap.

"Danielle Nicole Cimorelli!" A unison of voices ring out.

She glares at turn at each one of us, "Maybe the fact that she was deaf was your excuse to ignore it. But she hates herself and we didn't really help." Dani explains and a tidal wave of emotions hit me.

Amy's POV
"Lauren's always like this. Why do you think she is depressed now?" Dani exasperatedly sighs and I hear Christina do the same.

Christina answers for Dani, "That probably means Lauren's been depressed for a longer time than we thought." Dani rapidly nods.

"At least Christina understands that much!" Dani sarcastically shouts at us.

It still sounds like her voice hurts though.

Christina's POV
I find a seat sitting in it trying to think about Dani's words.

"She hates herself."

It truthfully explains a lot of what all of us didn't understand about Lauren.

Her brain is broken.

"What's wrong Christina?" Amy asks stupidly.

"It would be easier to list what isn't wrong!" I yell not caring about hurting Amy's feelings or scaring the others.

Amy's POV
I immediately regret asking Christina a caring question getting exploded at.

"Let's see I'm blind, Katherine's paralyzed from the waist down, Lisa cannot feel, you can't even move your arms, Lauren's depressed, and Dani can't breathe without it hurting." Dani's eyes widen at Christina's words.

Lisa's POV
I walk out of the room not wanting to face my little sister that I slapped.

Luckily she's not very far away but as soon as I see the ice pack she's resting her cheek on I feel regret.

I know she probably didn't even ask for it meaning it looked bad enough for someone to go get one for her.

I see that Lauren's eyes are closed though and I think sleeping on the cold object.

When her arm slips she wakes up but I see a worse sight her cheek as dark as midnight in the form of my hand surrounded by a red outline.

I didn't even know bruises could turn that color and that fast.

The worst part is when her chocolate brown eyes meet mine they are riddled with terror.
