Chapter 23

Scarlett's P.O.V

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was the bitter darkness. When I brought my hand up to the face, it was basically invisible. My cries and screams for help were silenced as the dark vortex held no sound. I was lost in my own mind. I have no idea how to escape.

Calum's P.O.V (because why not??)

Many of the doctors rushed into Scars room. A faint look of distraught on all of their faces.

"Hey, hey! What's going on?" Luke yelled at a doctor rushing past him.

"We're not sure sir, we'll get back to you soon." He said before heading to where the other doctors were. One of my best friends, no she was more like a sister. I remember when we left from Miami, about a year ago. We had exchanged numbers the day before and we couldn't stop talking back and forth. I told her everything, she did the same. I talked to her most out of the guys. Yet, we had lost her number. She wouldn't answer our DM's or anything. That's when Ashton became torn.

"Damn it." Ashton muttered as he paced around the waiting room.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..." He kept muttering to himself.

"You're stressing me out! Shut up!" Luke yelled from where he was sitting. They both ran a hand through their hair. Ashton slumped back into his seat.

-2 Hours Later-

Courtney and Luke fell asleep, while Ashton, Michael and I stayed awake. We didn't talk to each other much, as Ashton was typing away on his phone. Who knows what he's doing. Earlier I sent out a tweet that said #PrayForScarlett. We still didn't exactly know her conditions.

I can't believe we are even in this situation. Luke won't mention what happened to her. I shut my eyes. I think it's best if I get some sleep...

Ashton's P.O.V
"Here for a Scarlett Hancock?" The nurse asked for the second time. I shot out of my seat and walked over to her. The others were asleep. Good, I get to deal with this without them.

"That's me." I said. The nurse looked at me with unsure eyes.

"Sign this, to confirm you're eligible."

"Ok..." I said with a sigh. I printed my name on the paper quickly. Just bring to Scarlett for fucks sake.

"Now follow me sir." She murmured. Her heels clicked loudly as we walked down the hall. I'm already on edge as it is but this was beyond annoying. We turned a few halls, when she suddenly stopped in front of Scars room. When I walked in, her room was silent except for the heart monitor beeping a slow and steady beat. Her eyes were closed. She looked so peaceful.

"So here is an update. Earlier her heart rate started climbing at an extreme rate. It was like she was having a heart attack. This only happens in rare cases." She said, her words coming in my ear and out of it in a second.

"What does that mean?"
"Well Mr.Irwin is it? We've never seen a case like this, not for a long time at least." She said as she scribbled more information on her notepad. The nurse nervously adjusted her glasses.

"What does it mean?" I asked a bit louder then I intended to.

"I'm sorry to say but, Scarlett I'm afraid is lost. Yes her heart is beating, but her mind has shut down. Think of it as a switch. Your mind right now Mr. Irwin is switched on, as Scarlett's is in the middle as if debating to switch on or off. She's in a sort of a coma at the moment."

(Sorry this was short!! Maybe a chapter out later tonight?? ;) )
