Christina POV
After a couple of hours, a doctor appeared through the door. In the waiting room it was just me, mom and Dad. Mike had taken Lauren to eat something.
'How's she?' Dad quickly asked, holding mom's hand. The doctor motioned us to sit.
'She just came out of surgery, and they're taking her to the ICU. We have been in this position so I'm just gonna go straight to the point. We are not that optimistic about her recovery this time. We have said it before, when the accident happened, but this time is different because despite of all the effort that we have put on saving her life, she's gonna have some aftermath from this. We don't know in specific which ones, we need to make more test. I am really sorry. And like the last time, we hope being wrong about her diagnostic' I was in shock, we were all in shock. This is my fault. 'Now, this is very unusual. I would like to know if something happened this past days that might have triggered this situation' He asked us, and I could help but feel guilty.
'It's my fault' Lauren said with tears in her eyes, standing behind us. Apparently she had heard everything.
'No it's not, if this is somebody's fault... it's mine' I sadly said. 'I just...I wanted her to be the normal Lisa that we all know. The label offered us an opportunity to get back on the road again, to do concerts, to be the same band we used to be' I explained. The doctor nodded.
'Well Christina, you can't expect her to be the same girl she was before. And I've told you a thousand times... accidents change people. Now you're all scared, scared of losing her again. Because that's what happens' He explained to me and I nodded, wiping away the tears on my cheeks.
'Can we see her?' Dad finally asked.
'Just the parents for now' The doctor said, getting up. My parents followed him, disappearing through some doors. I sighed, closing my eyes. There was some strange feeling in my heart, I was feeling sad, guilty and helpless. I'm her big sister, I am supposed to take care of her, to help her and the only thing that I've done was to cause more problems and more pain. I felt some tears falling down my cheeks.
'It's not your fault, Chrissy' I heard Mike. I shook my head
'It is, it really is' I replied, opening my eyes. Lauren was sitting next to me now and she embraced me.
'It's not only your fault, it's mine too' She sadly said. We stood like that, my head on her shoulder while she was holding me tight, for a couple of minutes until the rest of the family arrived. We explained them what happened and then we sat down quietly in the waiting room. We were all scared of talking.

LISA POV
'Hey Lisa, open your eyes, mom want to see them.' I heard somebody. The voice was familiar, but I couldn't figure it out.
'Open your eyes for me, Lise' I heard a woman. With all my inner force I managed to open one eye, and see a woman, who was looking at me with tears in her eyes. Sleep overtook me, and I fell asleep again.
*********
'Lise' I heard the same woman again. I opened my eyes, slowly. The light of the room was too bright for me, so I had to close them up again.
'Don't close your eyes, Lisa. Stay awake' I heard a male voice telling me. I opened my eyes and saw three persons standing there. Two mens and a woman, they were smiling like idiots. I tried to speak but something in my throat didn't let me.
'Hey sweetie' The woman walked closer. My eyelids felt heavier and before she could said anything, I fell asleep.
********
I woke up now by myself. There was somebody sleeping in the couch, in front of me. The thing that I used to have on my throat, wasn't there anymore. Somebody opened the door.
'Look who's awake' A doctor told me. He walked closer 'Can you say your name for me please' He gently asked and I frowned. I couldn't remember my name. 'It's okay' He said, reading some numbers on a machine. 'Do you remember anything?' He asked again and I shook my head, gently. The person that was sleeping in the couch woke up.
'You're awake' She said, giving me a huge smile. She was tall but not that tall, and she was fit... really fit. Her big green eyes were waiting for an answer but as much as I wanted to reply something, nothing came out of my mouth.
'She doesn't know who you are' The doctor explained to her and I saw how the look on her face changed. Her eyes, somehow, became darker and filled with sadness.
'I'm Christina, your older sister' She introduced herself, sitting in a chair next to me. The doctor now was at the end of the bed and he uncovered my feet.
'Can you move them for me, please?' He asked and that's what I did. Well, that's what I thought. Apparently they didn't moved. 'Okay, I'll go outside to talk to your parents. Just press that blue button in case something happens' He told to the girl and then walked out. We stood there awkwardly for a few seconds, until she finally spoke.
'So, you don't remember anything?' She asked me and I nodded. 'Can you talk?' She asked curious. In fact, I was curious too, I didn't knew I could talk because I haven't tried yet.
'Yes?' I replied, confused. My voice seemed nice, it wasn't high nor low, it was normal apparently. The girl, Christina, cleaned some tears that had fallen down her cheeks.
'I'm sorry, is just that I haven't heard your voice in a long time' She defended herself. I was confused.
'A long time?' I asked and she nodded.
'6 months' she sadly replied, and despite of how hard I tried to remember, I couldn't.
'What happened?' I asked her and she explained to me everything.

CHRISTINA POV
Three weeks had passed since Lisa woke up from her coma and today we are bringing her home, once again. This time was different, because she hasn't seen the rest of our siblings and because she basically doesn't remember anything or anyone. I've been trying to talk to her about her past, who she used to be, but I can't. I still can't believe that after all that we've been through, life had to make us suffer even more.
'Where are we going?' Lisa whispered. I turned to her.
'Home' I replied shortly. Things have changed again, but now I was going to make things right. No more mistakes, I was gonna be the sister that she needed, and I was going to bring the old Lisa back. No matter what it takes.
**Okay, I know you hate me for this lmao but I promise you that no more trips to the hospital lol I needed to do this bc of what's coming next haha you'll see.
