Chapter 14

Wow, it's such a long time. I'm so sorry. I don't even know if anyone wants to continue reading this. But I just want to give this story an ending. There are a couple of chapters to come. I don't know how many, yet but I guess we'll see. If you're still reading I hope you won't be disappointed! Also thank you so much for all of your comments. They were so sweet! 

Chapter Fourteen

Lisa's POV

They took her to the closest hospital. So when I called home my family needed one hour. I was alone in that waiting room. I mean there were other people but I was all alone. My head went crazy, everything went crazy. How is there no balance anymore? How could life suddenly become this unpredictable? I just wanted to depend on something but I guess everything was possible. Even the worst.

They probably emptied Lauren's stomach, trying to hold her alive or bring her back. What if she was dead? There was that possibility. Nothing was save anymore.

This wasn't fair. Nothing was fair anymore. How could the world suddenly become so cold and so unfair?

Finally Mom and Christina arrived. I jumped up from my chair and hugged them. I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to let them go because it was like I could hold on to something. Even though it wasn't helping her.

"Where is she?", Mom asked.

"She is in one of the emergency rooms. They said her pulse was really low but they do everything they can" I said. Mom sobbed and sat down on the chair I just stood up from. Christina was just standing there watching me closely. She was shocked. Obviously.

"What happened, Lisa? How did you know what she was doing?"

I explained to her what happened, that Grandma called and that I remembered that spot from our childhood. When things were so easy and I didn't need to miss Lauren's smile cause I would see it every day.

"She tried to kill herself?", Christina asked. She couldn't believe it. How could she believe it? It sounded so stupid. not real. Except it was real.

I nodded and hugged my oldest sister, but she lightly pushed me away.

"Not now, Lisa. I need to... I don't know. Do something."

"We can't. The only thing we can do is wait. Sit down, Christina." I said. She did which was so weird. Normally she was the one giving orders. And she would hardly hear to one of us except sometimes she would listen to Lauren, since they are both similar in some ways and at the same time so different.

But I guess right now everything was different.

Waiting was the worst. I tried to stay positive, for Mom, for Christina and for myself because there was no use in imagining the worst. If the worst happened I would get to know of it earlier than I was ready for it. That's what I told my brain but it didn't listen. It panicked anyway. I mean I didn't know if I would see my baby sister alive again. The last time we talked, we had this huge fight. All these last month were terrible and I wanted to change everything.

But it couldn't be the end of it, of us, of our relationship, right? There has to be more. Much more. I wanted to talk to Lauren again, like we used to do when we were younger. I wanted to hold her and hug her and listen to her laugh. I wanted to listen to her telling me a funny story.

I needed her old self back. Why didn't I bring her to therapy? They told us she would need help. They told us and we saw it. We saw how she changed. How a big part of her disappeared how she wasn't with us anymore. How she was lost and sad and broken and traumatized. Why didn't we do anything about it?

Finally, we got called from a doctor. He smiled at us weekly.

"How is she?", Mom asked quietly. She squeezed her tissue in her hand. Christina laid one hand on her shoulder.

"I've got some good and bad news." He then said and my brain went crazy again.

She's not dead, right? She can't be. Because there wouldn't be any good news in her being dead. So she was fine. My sister was fine. But what would be the bad news? There couldn't be good and bad news. What did that mean? I didn't understand. 

Okay, so there's the new chapter. Again, I'm so sorry it took me so long! The next chapter is almost done so maybe I'll also publish it today. I hope you liked it. :)
