Chapter 5 - Shaking It All Off

Chapter 5 - Shaking It All Off

Mikayla's eyes kept on opening and closing, until her mouth opened in an attempt to form words.

She touched her bleeding forehead, "Tell Erin I love her." she shakily said, before her eyes closed.

Who the hell is Erin? I thought to myself.

"Erin?" I muttered to myself.

Caroline and Mia looked at each-other gulping, before gazing at me with a frozen look. They finally snapped out of it when the ambulance came and took Mikayla, while Caroline and I were getting in with her.

"Are you coming, Mia?" Caroline asked.

Mia shook her head, "I need to deal with my bitch of a sister, then I'll be with you guys. Okay?" Mia reassured, while Caroline and I moved on ahead to the ambulance.

Sitting on the seat next to Caroline, I patted Mikayla's head lightly.

"You don't deserve whatever happened to you." I whispered, with Caroline rubbing my shoulder before resting her head on it.

-At the Hospital-

The paramedics were rolling Mikayla in, and Caroline and I were helping them settle her into her room.

"Come here, you fucking meanie!" I heard a very familiar voice yelling.

"No, Mia!" Another voice yelled back.

"You will apologize to her when she wakes up, whether you like it or not young lady." An older voice stated.

I recognized the voice when we passed by them: Mia, Charlotte, and Mrs.Atchison. After we walked into the room and sat down in front of a resting Mikayla, Mia tried to drag Charlotte inside.

"Come on, Charlotte. You should've known, I've always told you via Skype that Mikayla's Dave's Girlfriend, remember?" Mia explained.

Charlotte sighed, "I was desperate." She muttered, looking down.

"Well, forget and forgive, right? So have some hope, she might actually forgive you." Mia said, lifting her older sisters' head up with her finger, smiling.

Charlotte smiled faintly, "Okay."

"If you haven't noticed, we're like, right here." Caroline stated, being her sassy self.

I chuckled, "Of course, even when our friends' hurt you'll be sassy."

Charlotte tilted her head to the right, "Who are you?"

"I'm Gabriella." I stated.

Charlotte smiled, "Nice to meet you." She quietly said before dragging Mia onto a long chair.

Silence aroused when a knock on the door was heard.

"Come in." Caroline called.

The door opened, to reveal a frowning Shania and Libby.

"Hey Shania and Libby." Charlotte greeted.

Shania and Libby smiled lightly at her before splitting up: Shania sitting next to us and Libby sitting next to Mia and Charlotte.

"How's she?" Shania whispered.

"We haven't heard anything yet." I replied, whilst Shania nodded.

"When are the guys coming?" Caroline asked.

Libby jotted something down on a notepad she borrowed from the reception.

Steven and Cameron are on their way, Ash and Rob said they'll try to make it.
