 Christina's POV

I watch as Isaac rushes over to Lisa and Kyle to Lauren, now gathering them into their arms. Tears stung both their eyes. Isaac looks at Lisa's unconscious body and then up at me through the pounding rain. 

"What happened?! Why isn't she waking up?" He yelled. I flinched slightly as tears continued to seep from my eyes.

"It's her leg, Isaac." I said, "S-she must've passed out from the pain." His eyes travelled down to Lisa's mangled leg and he quickly looked away in horror. Kyle seemed to be in a trance as he stared at Lauren's still body. She was still completely unresponsive and her pulse was quickly becoming weak. 

Sirens begin to sound in the distance and I sigh in relief. Soon 2 ambulances had arrived as well as 2 police cars and people in uniforms scattered around the area. Kyle and I jumped into the one with Lauren inside as the paramedics rushed around her, fixing her up to machines and Isaac and Nick accompanied Lisa. 

"Is she gonna be okay?!" I asked frantically, trying to hold eye contact with the paramedic. She looked away quickly.

"We'll know more once we get to the hospital," she said. 

3rd Person POV

It all happened in a blur. Lauren was rushed into the surgery room. Lisa was taken into an emergency room for her leg to be assessed. Ryan was assigned to look after Lisa.

Christina sobbed into Nick's shoulder as he held her. The two of them were sat in the waiting room whilst Kyle and Isaac were being seen to for their minor wounds. Kyle emerged holding an ice pack to his bruised ribs and Isaac had two stitches above his right eyebrow, the blood now wiped away from his face and hands, his knuckles were also bandaged up. The two anxious boys joined Christina and Nick and seated themselves in silence. The only sound prominent being Christina's crying and the tick of the clock.

The remainder of the Cimorelli sisters had received an alarming phone call from Nick a while back and had quickly made their way to the hospital as well as Sofia and Lexie. They fought through a rowdy crowd of reporters surrounding the building. Flashes from cameras and various micro phones were shoved into their faces. Eventually they had made it to where the others were. 

Dani, who was running ahead of the group, crashed into Christina's arms as they cried together, out of relief, out of sadness, out of worry. Sofia and Lexie went over to comfort Kyle and Amy hugged Nick. Katherine lingered behind.

"What's going on? Are they going to be ok?" Amy asked, distraught. 

"We don't know yet Ames. I think Lisa might be ok but Lauren was in really bad shape," Nick informed.

Katherine's emotions were running extremely high. She was over whelmed with everything going on. She hadn't had a breakdown once. She was trying to stay strong for the others. Her breathing became rapid and she ran to the ladies room as fast as she could. 

Dani's POV

I watch as Katherine abruptly runs in the direction of the toilets. I quickly notice that my sisters had seen too and we all wordlessly run to the toilets in pursuit. Amy swings the door open and we rush in to find Kath hunched over the sink, sobbing uncontrollably and breathing eratically. She meets our eyes through the mirror and only begins to cry harder. Christina immediately springs into action. 

"Shhh it's okay Kath," she comforts as she holds her, "Just breathe okay, breathe." 

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be a burden," she cries, "I was trying so hard to be strong and not breakdown but I just couldn't do it anymore." We all immediately surround her in a group hug.

"It's okay to cry sometimes," I say quietly, "You're never a burden and you don't need to be strong for us." She smiles at me through her tears and I smile back.

We walk back to where the boys were waiting to find Ryan also standing there. 

"Ryan," Amy whispers as he envelopes her in a loving hug. 

"How's Lisa?" Amy asks. He smiles. 

"She's gonna be okay." Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. 

"But she's in a lot of pain so she's on a lot of pain medication so she'll be sleepy a lot of the time. She has a displacement fracture to her right leg and we've had to put pins in her leg to try to bring the bones back together. She's going to have to be on crutches for quite a long time because these types of fractures need a lot of time to recover from. You can go see her but she'll still be asleep." Ryan said calmly. Isaac looks extremely relieved and sprints into Lisa's room to see her. Ryan begins to turn away but Kyle quickly stops him. We all knew what he was going too ask.

"Do you know anything about how Lauren's doing?" he asked. Ryan's smile slipped from his face.

"All I know is that she barely made it out of there alive. Her burns are severely infected and the doctors performing the surgery are trying their best to disinfect them." Ryan takes a quick glance at everyone's faces falling.

"She's so strong. In the little time I've known her I've noticed that and after everything she's been through, I'm sure she'll pull through this too." With that he took off giving Amy a quick kiss. Christina cleared her throat.

"Look, he's right, come on it's Lauren we're talking about. She's a fighter." she said. Everyone forced a smile and nodded their head. But a familiar feeling of uncertainty lingered in the air.

////////////

"So, she's still in surgery?" Lisa asked worriedly. Isaac nodded at her, his hand clasped around hers tightly.

"She's gonna be okay, right?" she said, voice breaking. Her eyes darted around the room for an answer but she was met with silence. Her eyes found Christina's.

"Chris?" She asked, "Chris you said she'll be okay so she's going to be fine, right? Christina?" Christina blinked away tears and nodded her head.

"Yeah, Lise," she whispered, "Of course." The door swinging open, interrupted the moment. Lexie had a panicked look on her face. I frowned but looked past her to see doctors running towards the theatre room. 

"She's crashing! Bring the crash cart!" Someone shouted. 

"Which room is it?" she shouts to one of the nurses.

"Room 351," He replies. That's when Lexie's panicked face makes sense.

Room 351. Lauren's room. 

/////////////////

The waiting was the worst part. The minutes that passed had felt like hours. It was really late so Sofia and Lexie had left. Isaac was focusing all emotions towards Lisa, holding back from breaking down regarding Becca being dead. He hadn't left Lisa's side once. A doctor finally emerges from the surgery room. We all immediately stand up.

"I'm Doctor Gardner, Miss Cimorelli is stable." she says and we all breathe a sigh of relief, "She gave us a scare for a second but luckily we were able to bring her back."

"Wait, bring her back?" I questioned, "A-are you saying she died." She nodded her head in response. No one really knew what to say.

"She's still asleep but a few of you can go to see her. Is there a parent or guardian I could speak to privately?" she asked and Christina and Nick followed her to an office while Kyle, Katherine, Amy and I went into Laur's room.
