AN: So, I know what you all are thinking…'she does NOT need another story that she probably won't update as much!' but, I will. My goal is to finish all of my stories, including this new one, before I even think of starting another one. So, I was watching HawthoRNe the other night and I was like 'wow. What if..' So here is the result of that imagination of mine. Let me know what you think by REVIEWING!

P.S. The title kinda sucks, but I'll probably change it once I get the ball rolling. Anyway, thanks for reading! : )

Fighting for Our Lives.. Literally.

Chapter 1: Hospital

Nate faintly heard a knocking at the door, but chose to ignore it. He rolled over onto his stomach and smiled. He was having an awesome dream. Shane growled as he finally found the key to Nate's apartment. He shoved it into the keyhole and finally opened the door.

"Nathan Grey!" Shane yelled, "You better have your butt out of that bed."

Nate frowned, pretending to be asleep when Shane entered the bedroom.

"Of course you're not out of bed." Shane said sarcastically as he looked at his brother still in his bed.

"Dude, did you forget we're going to visit people in the hospital today?" Shane asked as he pulled the covers off of his younger brother.

Nate mumbled something unintelligible and shoved the covers back over his curly head. Shane frowned and threw the covers off the bed.

"Get dressed. You have ten minutes. You better not fall asleep, Nate. I mean it." Shane said seriously and slammed the bedroom door shut.

Nate groaned as he sat up in bed. Yeah, he forgot about Connect Three visiting the sick kids at the local hospital. Did that make him a bad person? He glanced at the clock and muttered a curse word as he jumped out of bed. Yeah, it pretty much made him a bad person.

"I still can't believe you forgot." Shane laughed.

Nate glared at him, clearly annoyed, "Dude, it's not that funny."

"Dude, you're the one who claims he never forgets anything. It's freaking hilarious." Shane laughed.

Shane continued to laugh until Nate slapped him on the head. Shane rubbed his head as the limo pulled to a stop.

"Not cool, man. Not. Cool." Shane grumbled as he attempted to fix his hair.

Nate just laughed, "Hey. We're here."

"No way." Shane said sarcastically.

Nate glared, "You're so annoying."

"I'm not annoying, you're annoying." Shane argued as they got out of the car.

"Whatever. I'm not the one who-"

"GUYS!"

Nate and Shane stopped to look at their bandmate, Jason.

"Stop arguing and be nice. We're going to visit some terminally ill kids here, okay?" Jason said seriously.

"Fine." The brothers said and put on a smile as they entered the hospital.

"Aw, come on, Caitlyn." Mitchie begged, putting on the puppy dog eyes.

Caitlyn groaned, "For the last time, Mitchie, I don't want to watch Legally Blonde!"

Mitchie glared at her, "Then what do you want to do? I mean we're stuck in the hospital. Still."

Caitlyn's eyes softened as she looked at her, "Don't talk like that, okay? We're going to get out of here," then added, "both of us, okay?"

Mitchie smiled softly, "Yeah, yeah. Now, seriously, Legally Blonde—"

She was interrupted by the sounds of girls screaming outside their hospital room.

"What the crap?" Caitlyn wondered out loud and slowly got out of her hospital bed.

She made it to their door and opened it slowly. She was surprised to see little girls smiling like they had just been given their life back or something. Caitlyn scoffed; no one could do that for any of the children in this wing of the hospital it seemed.

"What is it?" Mitchie asked from her bed.

"Nothing, Mitch. Let's just get some rest." Caitlyn said and walked back to her bed, letting the door shut.

A few minutes later, Mitchie bit her lip and said, "I bet its Connect Three."

Caitlyn looked up from her magazine with a raised eyebrow, obviously amused, "Connect Three? You mean that band you like?" Caitlyn asked, trying not to laugh.

Mitchie glared at her sister, "Yeah. It could happen!"

Caitlyn scoffed, "Yeah, in like a Disney Channel show or something."

"You don't have to be so 'glass-half-empty' all of the time you know!" Mitchie exclaimed angrily, tightly holding onto her stuffed pig.

Caitlyn glanced at her sister, "Whatever."

Mitchie bit her lip and turned over angrily. Sometimes, Caitlyn just seemed to not give a crap about anything other than their bland four walls of their hospital room.

"Are you going to cry or something?" Caitlyn blurted out.

"I'm going to sleep, Caitlyn." Mitchie said coldly and closed her eyes.

"Fine." Caitlyn snapped.

Mitchie said nothing and tried to fall asleep to the sound of their dialysis machines. Caitlyn sighed as she watched her twin fall asleep. She didn't mean to sound so cynical about the band, considering it was basically the only thing keeping Mitchie holding on. It probably had something to do with their older brother, anyway. Considering that he abandoned them. Although, to be fair, he abandoned them way before they had ever gotten sick. Still, though, he abandoned them. Caitlyn glared at her magazine. Why did he have to leave them? He could've stayed, but no. He had to go and become a rockstar in freakin' Hollywood.

There was a soft tapping on the door, causing Mitchie to wake up.

"Come in." Mitchie said wiping her eyes sleepily as she sat up.

"Hey Mitchie, Caitlyn." Amanda, one of their favorite nurses, said happily, "We've got a surprise for you. Come on in, guys."

And in walked Connect Three, causing Avery and Caitlyn to stare in utter shock.

"I told you it could happen." Mitchie smirked at Caitlyn.

"Whatever. Jason?" Caitlyn asked surprisingly, not knowing that he was in Connect Three.

"Caitlyn? Mitchie?" Jason asked and swallowed nervously, "Why are you two in the hospital?"

Mitchie watched Caitlyn carefully, not knowing how her twin was going to react.

"Oh yeah, that's a normal reaction after abandoning your sisters over three years ago. Way to make small talk." Caitlyn exclaimed angrily and crossed her arms.

Nate and Shane had opened mouths, not knowing what to say. Before Jason could introduce them, however, Avery beat him to it.

"Hi, I'm Mitchie and that's Caitlyn. We're Jason's sisters." Avery said politely.

"If you can even call us that." Caitlyn mumbled.

Mitchie glared at her sister, warning her to be nice.

"I'm Nate and that's my brother Shane. We're friends and band mates with Jason, as you probably know." Nate smiled.

"Whatever. I need some air." Caitlyn grumbled and slowly got out of bed.

Jason stopped her, "Wait, Caitlyn. You never answered my question."

"Like you deserve to know!" Caitlyn snapped.

"Caitlyn!" Mitchie yelled, clearly appalled at her sister's behavior, then said much more calmly, "Our kidney's are failing and we don't have a donor. For either of us."
