White walls

Lara

I woke up to find Bastian sitting next to me. I panicked as I heard the beeping machines. Basti bolted out of his chair, "Hey Lara, relax... Relax..." But I couldn't, I realised what had happened, and it devastated me. He called the nurse who gave me more pills before the doctor came. He was a very nice, young doctor, but his news stabbed me like a nice pick.

Bastian

I was called by the police from Lara's phone. They told me to get to St.Annas General as soon as possible. Sarah and I both jumped into the car. We had known Lara for a long time, Sarah used to do modelling with her and I was good friends with her brother. Getting that phone call shocked us both. Lara was unconscious for the rest of the day, but we had been told the news. I had tried to call Manuel but all I got was his voice mail. Where was he? Regardless of what had happened between them Lara needed him now more than ever.

Lara

I knew when I boarded the flight to Malibu. I had gone to the doctors before and they confirmed. I had kept it a secret because I didn't want more publicity, I had already had enough. The doctor left with a sympathetic face and a quiet nod. Basti was sitting next to me, "I'm so sorry love" he whispered into the room. He pulled me into him and stroked my hair as I let out sobs of pain and anguish.

Sarah

I finally got through to Manuel's manager, "Hi this is Sarah, I need you to get Manuel to come to St.Annas General immediately..."

Manuel

When I got the call from my manager I knew that it had something to do with Lara. Damn was she ok? I raced towards the hospital.

Lara

The white walls of my room were starting to get to me. They reminded me of sadness and pain. Everything I was feeling at the moment. A different doctor had come in and explained that it was in the Fallopian Tubes, but that it luckily enough didn't burst them. There was nothing they could have done. Who was to blame? Me, I guess.

Manuel

Sarah greeted me at the doors. Her face was saddened,"Manuel, Lara has collapsed. She lost a baby... Your baby..." My heart fell. With a pained look I glanced at her, I couldn't go up there. "Manuel, listen" she put her arms on my shoulders,"She needs you, she knows that and so do you." With that I went up to her room, thinking about what I was to say to her.
