The next three hours were stressful. News of Corey's passing had spread throughout the friend group like wildfire. Along with the news of Freya's emergency surgery. Everyone was broken. Speechless.
Corey La Barrie, their best friend. The glue. Was gone. And all they could hope was that Freya would make it through her surgery, because they couldn't bare to lose another friend. Cheyenne couldn't bare to lose her older sister.
Cheyenne felt like she was sitting the waiting room of the Intensive Care Unit for years. Crawford and Franny at her side, both with tear stained faces. Everyone else scattered throughout the waiting room, pacing, just awaiting an update on their friend. Jc and Chelsey had decided to take the drive to Anaheim to pick up Cheyenne and Freya's mom, who was a wreck.
Not only because her oldest daughter was in surgery, but because of the news of Corey. Carolina Parsons couldn't remember a time where Corey La Barrie wasn't at a family function. Corey was like a son to her. Hell, he's been dating her daughter for nearly 4 years.
No one knew what to think. No one knew how to feel. They just knew that a piece was missing.
Freya has no clue about Corey's passing. Breaking the news to her was going to be rough.
Cheyenne felt a head on her shoulder and heard Franny sniffling. Cheyenne lays her head on top of Franny's, her eyes filled with tears again. Crawford rubbed Cheyenne's back, as he too now had tear filled eyes again.
Daniel Seavey, who was on Franny's other side, placed a comforting hand on Franny's back. They didn't know how they were going to move forward.

After another long 3 more hours, and many tears later. Carolina Parsons emerges from the doors of the ICU. She'd gotten to the hospital around 3am, and she's been talking to doctors ever since. The blonde woman has a tear stained face.
"She's okay everyone," Carolina says. Everyone let out breaths they didn't know they were holding in.
"She has a couple of broken ribs, and fractured femur but nonetheless, she will be okay. Her body is under a lot of stress right now, so they don't recommend her getting visitors until at least tomorrow" Cheyenne steps into her mother's arms. "Does she know about-"
"Yes. She knows about Corey. She's as expected," Carolina pauses and looks around the room. "She's gonna need you guys,"
