stay strong (completed) *sequel is Keep Holding On*

Chapter 41

Lisa's POV

Mariah called and said Lauren got hit my a car. We all jump into the car and drive fast to Mariah's house. The closer we got the more I was freaking out. We get there just before the ambulance comes. They load Lauren and me and Mariah go in with Lauren while Christina and the others go on the car. We get there and we go to the waiting room and wait. The police comes and they say that the guy was under the influence of alcohol. He was charged with man slaughter on a minor( I know there isn't a charge but in the story it's a more serious charge so go with it )

Cimorelli says the doctor

We all stand up and his eyes go wide. We all sit down and he comes over.

Miss Lauren Cimorelli will be fine. She has a sprained wrist and a dislocated knee. She also has a concussion. So please watch her carefully. She can walk but she needs to wear a brace on the knee we gave her one and she's wearing it now. Please sign there's papers he says

He hands Chrissy the papers and she signs them. He goes and comes back with Lauren. She was limping because of the brace. Mariah runs and hugs her. It was cute! They hug for a while. I realized they are both crying. Once they pull themselves together they pull a part and walk over. I hug her and then she goes around the room and hugs everyone. We then all pile into the car and go to the our house. We make dinner and then we play a game. Mariah leaves and we all get ready for bed. Lauren helps me out the little ones to bed and then. We go downstairs and talk

How's your knee? I ask

Better she says

Good I say

Thank you she says

For what? I ask

For being you. And being the best sister and for sticking by me she says

I love you I say

I love you too she says

We hug for a while before we decide to go to bed. We go to bed and we change. I feel bad because Lauren had to take her long brace off to change and then put it back on. She also had a brace on her wrist.

How's the wrist? I ask

She shows me and it was purple and swollen

Ouch I say

Yeah it hurts she says

I laugh

She starts laughing

Why are you laughing? Asks Christina

We tell her and she looks at us weird and we laugh even more. Christina then starts to laugh. We contain ourselves and we go to bed.

Lauren's pov

I wake up to see the sun peeking through the window. I get up and go downstairs. Christina Mike and Kath are making breakfast. Amy was in the shower. Lisa and dani are still asleep. The boys and Alex are outside playing. We all come in and eat breakfast. We all clean up after ourselves and then I go upstairs and change.

I'm in the middle of changing when my phone goes off. It's Mariah

Hey riah what's up? I ask

Want to come over and hang out? She asks

Yeah be right over! I say

Ok! She says

I hang up and finish changing.

I head downstairs and go into the kitchen. Kath was making cookies. Lisa was painting her nails and Christina was reading a book.

Can I go to Mariah's? I ask

Yeah let me take you says Christina

Christina takes me to Mariah's and we hang out at her house and watch a movie. After that we go to Starbucks and get our drinks. We sit down and talk. A girl comes up to us.

Hey I say

Your Lauren Cimorelli! She says

Yeah I am! I say

And your Mariah Gray! She says

That's me I say laughing

Can I take a picture with you? She asks

Of course we say

We take the picture and she talks with us until she gets her drink

Thanks you she says

No problem I say

She leaves and we continue to drink our drinks

I can't believe she knew who I was! Says Mariah

Your my best friend! Oh course people know who you are! And your a YouTuber! I say

Yeah but I'm not famous like you! She says

Have you checked how many subscribers you have? I ask

No she says

I pull my phone out and pull up her YouTube page. She had one million followers!

You have one million followers!! I say

What! Are you serious! She says

She takes my phone and looks at it.

That's why random people stare at me! She says

We both bust out laughing. We then contain ourselves and finish our drinks. We then walk to the park and we swing. After a while we go back to Mariah's and relax. I get a text from Lisa saying that she is coming to pick me up. We talk until I hear the doorbell.

We need to do this more! She says

We really do! I say

Bye she says

Bye I say

Lisa and I get in the car and go home

I tell her what we did and then I help make dinner.

Mariah's POV

I had so much fun with Lauren today! I missed her. I will never let people get between our friendship again!

I'm playing with my brother when the phone rings. I run down the stairs and. Realize my parents aren't home yet. I get to the phone

Hello is this Mariah Gray? Asks a voice

Yes this is I say

This is..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for the cliffhanger! Thanks you to everyone who has stuck by me.. I know what I did was stupid. I'm sorry I let you guys down.
