AN- Hey people! This story almost has 1,000 total views, which, for my first story, having never really done anything like this before, is literally insane. Thanks for continuing to read! I'm always open to constructive criticism and/or things that you would like written in, also, I want to do a little dedication/memorial thing to anyone who has lost a family member or friend to suicide, so, if you want to add a name, comment it below or message me!!

Lauren's POV

I slowly sit down on a couch in the waiting room, Christina beside me. I can't stop crying. I just can't believe that Lisa could do something like this. I know she's had a rough few months, but had no idea it was this bad. She's my big sister. My Moose. What if she dies? I don't know what I would do without her. No more making fun of ridiculous nicknames, no more talks on the porch, she would never again be there to hug me and say its going to be okay when I'm upset. She can't die. I won't be able to handle it. I bury my face in my knees and start crying even harder. I can vaguely feel Christina rubbing my back and saying something, but it's like I'm listening to someone far away. Eventually, I stop crying and just kind of sniffle a little. I can finally hear what Chrissy is saying, it's mostly just comforting gibberish. But I love her for it. I slowly sit up and hug her, and she hugs me back. She grabs my shoulders and then looks me in the eye, "Lisa will be okay LoLo, I promise. She is so strong. And we are going to get her some help, she will be better." She says confidently. I nod and smile s little bit, before sitting back and staring at the doors, waiting for someone to come and give us some news.

Dani's POV

I can't believe this happened. I thought that maybe Lisa was just being lazy, or had just had a bad boy situation or something. I never thought that she was actually dealing with serious problems...and I said all that horrible stuff to her! God, she must hate me. I was so mean to her when she was hurting, I called her all those things...What if she did this because of me? What if I was the one that pushed her to this? My family will never forgive me...I'm such an idiot. I get up and run to the bathroom, they shouldn't have to even look at me when they are waiting for news.

Katherine's POV

I sit in one of the chairs and try to calm down Amy, it has taken a while, but I think she is finally calming down. At first she was hysterical, and she passed out too at one point, one of the nurses saw her and got concerned but I explained that it just happened when she was overwhelmed. Amy woke right back up, and accepted a water bottle from the concerned looking nurse with a thank you. Now she fell asleep, I look over to my Mom and see her just sitting in her chair and staring at the doors. I don't think it is a very good idea to talk to her right now. Lauren is being comforted by Christina. And Dani is....Where is she? She came in here with us, I remember that. I don't see her anywhere now though. I really should go look for her. I get up and tell Christina that I'm going to go look for Dani, she nods and sits back, closing her eyes. I start walking down a hallway, and see a sign for the bathroom. Dani always used to hide in bathrooms when she was a kid, maybe she's there. I walk in and hear the sound of someone crying in the last stall. Then I recognize Dani's voice saying, "My fault...so sorry...my fault..." I sigh and walk over the stall, easily opening it, since she didn't even lock it. She is sitting on top of her jacket on the floor. Her head snaps up to look at me, and then her eyes drop to the ground. "What are you doing here Kath?" She says quietly.

I sit down next to her, wincing at how unclean it must be. "I should be asking you that question Dani."
She nods and a single tear drops down her cheek. "It's my fault Lisa did this. I'm so sorry...I understand if you guys all hate me now..."  She says resignedly. I immediately grab her chin and force her to look at me. "Dani. This is not your fault. Okay, I promise. Never even think that."
"But I said all those things to her...she must have been hurting and I was just rude." She replies.
"No, I logged into her twitter on the way here. It wasn't you, there was some fans messaging her, and YouTube comments were saved to her account. It wasn't you Dani, just some random people being really mean." I say this very confidently, trying to make Dani understand it isn't her fault.
"Oh...I'll kill them! I'll go tell them exactly what they accomplished, I'll kill them!" She yells, standing up like she is somehow going to find them at that second. I grab her arm and say, "Dani, calm down. I want revenge too, but we don't even know who they are, and that is no way to stop the hate, you know that, we just have to rise above it. Lisa is strong, she just forgot that for a little while, it'll be okay."
I then hugged her, and when she was calm enough, we headed back to the waiting room. We sat down, and less than a minute later a doctor came through the doors and said, "Anyone here for a Lisa Cimorelli?"
