Laurie's POV:
A bright light blinded me as I slowly opened up my eyes. I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the sudden lack of darkness.
"Guys, she awake!"
"Laurie!! Hayley quickly go get the doctor!"
"Thank God she's fine!"
As my eyes slowly roamed around the unfamiliar surroundings, they landed on Cayley and Ariella who had big grins on their face.
"You're alive, thank God!" Ariella exclaimed.
"Please, you can't get rid of me that easily," I croaked out as I struggled to get up.
Ariella quickly helped me up as Cayley poured me a cup of water which I gulped down gratefully.
A doctor soon came into the room with Hayley close behind.
"Hello, Miss Laurie. I'm Doctor Lewis and I'm going to ask you a few questions alright?" He introduced himself. I nodded my head and he started asking the questions.
*convo*
D: Do you remember your name, age and date of birth?
L: Yes. Laurie, 13 and the 5th of December 2001.
D: Okay, good. Do you remember what happened?
L: I.. I jumped in front of Lauren to protect her from a shooter and took the bullet for her.
D: And why did you do that?
L: It's the least I could do after all she's done for me. I'd do it for any of the other girls.
D: Alright. And how do you feel now?
L: I'm feeling fine, just that my stomach is bit sore.
D: Mm, I will prescribe you some painkillers. Since you seem a-okay, you can be released at 12-ish which is half an hour from now.
L: Alright, thank you Doctor Lewis!
D: No problem.
*end of convo*
He left the room just as another lady came in.
"Hello, my name is Miss Dana and I'm a pyschologist." She said, extending her hand.
"Why do I need a pyschologist...?" I questioned, shaking her hand.
"I'm just going to do a quick test to make sure that you're alright and you won't have any flashbacks that may cause you to hurt yourself that may result in death." She clarified.
"Um.. okay?" I replied.
The test wasn't much different from my earlier conversation with Dr Lewis. Fortunately for me, I may just get sudden flashbacks of the gunman shooting me but they would hopefully stop soon since I didn't suffer any head trauma. I smiled and thanked her. Once she left, a nurse came in.
Oh, not more questions! I thought and groaned inwardly. Thankfully, the nurse was just here to give me the painkillers for my stomach, a few instructions such as no strenuous activity for a few weeks - which means no dancing, dang - and I was free to go. I heaved a sigh of relief.
With the help of Ariella, I slowly went into the toilet, quickly changing out of my hospital gown and taking out the clothes Ariella brought from the plastic bag– my Bethany Mota peace heart sweater and jeans. Perfect.
As I pulled on my sweater, the huge plaster on my stomach caught my attention. I gingerly touched it and grimaced.
Just then, reality slapped me in the face. I got shot.
In that moment all I thought of was saving Lauren, nothing else mattered then. I never even considered the consequences. I shook my head in an attempt to clear my thoughts and quickly pulled my sweater down before putting on my jeans.
I slipped on my white flats and quickly exited the bathroom. The 4 of us trooped outside where we saw Maya signing some papers. After she was done, she ushered us into the car and drove us back to the orphanage.
Back at the orphanage, I ate a cookies and cream poptart before gulping down some of the painkillers. I trudged to my room and fell onto my bed just as sleep overcame me.
Ally's POV:
"THANK YOU MIAMI!" We screamed before linking hands and bowing. We exited the stage and cheered. Tonight had been a blast.
"Anybody heard from Laurie yet?" Dinah asked as she wiped off her sweat, plopping onto the the couch next to Camila.
"No. Let me check," I replied, taking my phone out. I clicked on the Instagram app and went to the search bar.
I typed in "laurie.jaurnandez" and clicked on her account. Since I saw no new posts I went to check her friends' accounts.
A smile spread across my face as I read one of their most recent posts. The picture was of Laurie fast asleep on her bed and the caption read:
ariella.styles Laurie's finally out of the hospital❤️ Thanks for all the love and support guys! It was much appreciated:)
"Guys, look! Laurie has been discharged from the hospital," I exclaimed showing them the post.
"Yay! Should we go visit her?!" Camila yelled excitedly.
"You know that's not a bad idea," Normani replied happily.
"Can we please?" Dinah pleaded.
"Yeah sure, why not? Lauren?" I questioned the Cuban, who had been unusually quiet.
"Yeah, sure. That'll be awesome." She replied, forcing a smile.
"Lo, are you okay?" Normani asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Yeah, sure course I am!" She replied, giving a really fake laugh. We all shot her a dont-lie-to-us look and she gave the act up.
"Fine. I'm just.. Worried. What if she hates me? I'm the reason she was put into the hospital in the first place.." Lauren confessed, wringing her hands together.
"Lauren, she did what she wanted to do. Did you push her in front of you to use her as a shield? No! She did it on her own accord. So stop beating yourself up over this!" Dinah reprimanded Lauren.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I'm just.. Oh I don't know.. Paranoid I guess? I just don't see why people would risk themselves for me," Lauren sighed.
Silence settled over the room. "Hey guys, why don't we adopt Laurie?" Camila said, breaking the quietness. We all turned to stare at her, eyes wide.
"What?! It was just a suggestion geez," Camila huffed putting her arms in surrender.
"Dawg, who thought you could be so smart?!" Dinah shrieked tackling Camila.
"That's actually not a bad idea," Normani said, looking up from her phone, smiling wide.
"I second that! I mean what harm could it do?" I replied cheerfully.
We all turned to Lauren, waiting for her reply.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go make Laurie ours!" Lauren cheered, pumping her fists in the air.
