Layla's POV
The guys all ran up on the runway. I could barely get my words out. "She said she didn't feel good before we walked out. And, I noticed her throat looked swollen." The tears just fell non-stop. Please let her be okay!
Bliss started shaking vigorously! A doctor ran on the stage. "An ambulance has been called! Ms. Sanders is having an allergic reaction to something she ate! Does anyone have an EpiPen?! We need to get her to a hospital fast. Where is that ambulance?!"
"Somebody gave Bliss seafood!!!" Andrea screamed out loud.
"Bliss is allergic to seafood?! Who in their right mind would give her freaking seafood?!!" Not too long after the doctor ran on stage, several paramedics entered the arena and ran over to Bliss. They gently picked her up and placed her on the stretcher. I looked over to where Braelyn was sitting and saw everyone in tears.
"I'm riding with her. Julian, one of you guys should come too." Austin said as he stood up off the ground.
"I'll go!" Andrea and Austin followed the paramedics out to the ambulance. "We are taking her to Bayhealth General Hospital! Let's go!"
"We will meet you guys there!"
Bliss was then rushed out of the arena. Everyone else rushed over to where the family was sitting. "Mommy, what happened to Aunt Bliss?"
"Someone made Auntie sick on purpose." Ryan grabbed Logan from my mom, then we immediately left the arena. I could have sworn I just saw Shane leaving. If he came, does that mean he still cares about Bliss? As soon as we had the kids in their car seats, Ryan and I got in the front and we took off towards the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surprisingly we made it to the hospital in 10 minutes. Ryan parked my Escalade in a spot close to the front entrance. Then, he grabbed Logan and I helped Braelyn out. Then, we ran in the hospital to the emergency waiting room. We saw Austin and Andrea, both of them in tears. Braelyn ran over to Austin.
"Daddy, is Aunt Bliss going to be okay?"
"Baby doll, we hope she is. They have to do all they can to save her."
"Julian, Kalani, Mason, and Jessica stayed behind to talk with the police and walk around to see how this happened. And, they will come afterward." Ryan mentioned.
"I am starting a list of the ONLY people who will be allowed in her room to visit. She is not going to die. Nobody is taking my sister from me." Andrea was able to speak out after composing herself.
Cris, Kam, Devin, Marco, and Noeli entered the waiting room shortly after we did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have been waiting for two, solid hours in the waiting room, but no information on if Bliss is okay. I am beyond angry that someone would do this to her!! Bliss would never hurt anyone, so why are people always hurting her?!
An hour later, Julian, Mason, Jessica, and Kalani came bursting in the waiting room. Mr. Black came with them too. "Any news yet?" Julian asked
"Nothing yet. We finally got Braelyn, Logan, and Devin to sleep."
"Listen, whatever you need let me know. Security, food, lodging whatever you need, I will make it happen." Mr. Black offers.
"Layla, Cris and I can take Logan with us back to the hotel. We have to call Isabela and Antonio to bring the twins up to New York. We can take shifts between watching them and being at the hospital." Kam says.
