As the paramedics load a lifeless Carla into the ambulance Johnny shouts "I'm going with her"
"No johnnny I'll go" Michelle cries.
"No michelle, she's my daughter I'm not leaving her no matter what anymore." He spitefully replies getting into the back of the ambulance as it leaves.
"Come on I'll drive" Aidan says to Kate and Michelle.
"I wish someone could tell me what's happening" Johnny threats whilst the others nervously wait on the sofas provided at the hospital.
"She was alright earlier I don't get it" Kate mumbles just as the doctor walks through.
"Hey um...can you tell us anything about ca-Carla Connor. She was bought here like an hour ago." Michelle asks.
"Oh yes. We have a clear understanding as to what is wrong with Mrs Connor. We have to run a few more tests first, your best off going home and having a rest and to return in the morning" she explains.
"No please now. We have to know" Johnny pleads.
"Well we're about 99% sure Mrs connor has liver failure. There is slight swelling to her abdominal and a yellow tinge to the skin and eyes also known as jaundice."
"What liver failure?! How?!" Michelle weeps.
"It could be due to many things. The main one being large amounts of alcohol..." the nurse replies.
"That explains as to why she wasn't drinking..." Aidan mutters.
"That's means she must of known. Why? Why didn't she say something to us!" Johnny says completely shocked at the devestaing news.
"What now then?! What's gonna happen?" Michelle questions.
"Well there's not much we can do. You can't recover a damaged liver it's impossible. The best solution would be a transplant. Although there's a rather large waiting list"
"So she can't get better?" Johnny shouts.
"She's young, successful your telling me there's nothing you can do?!" He adds clearly getting frustrated.
"We can put her on the waiting list" she says.
"Oh my god I can't believe this is happening" Michelle murmurs putting her head in her hands.
6:33am
Now it's early morning on New Year's Day. Johnny and Michelle hadn't moved a muscle all night where as Aidan and Kate went off home and promised to be back in a bit.
The doctor let them in at 6:00am and were told Carla will be off the ventilater by 10:00am. That way they could get answers...
"Ugh Michelle why...why didn't she tell us sooner" Johnny mumbles.
"You know Carla, never wants to make a fuss. She cares about everyone but herself" Michelle upsettingly answers.
"Michelle...what if she...dies?" He wearily says.
"Don't say that Johnny don't you dare. She's a fighter, she's overcome worse"
"Yes but has she been this close to death before?" He snaps.
"Oh shut up Johnny stop mentioning her dying, I hate it." Michelle sighs.
"Mmm" Carla croaky mumbles as she awakens.
"Carla don't worry you're in hospital darling" Michelle softly says holding her hand tight.
"Wha-" she says opening her eyes fully to realise they all knew...
"I can't be here...I'm fine I have to go" She panics, starting to sob as she tries to sit up and leave.
"No Carla no stay in bed! Your ill!" Johnny explains trying to calm her.
"NO!" She shouts breathing heavily moving the blanket away from her and sitting up.
Michelle presses the red button on the wall to alert nurses they were needed.
They run into the scene and gently try to put Carla back to bed.
"Carla please lay down, your unwell" the nurse says.
"No I'm perfectly fine please" She sobs having no control of her emotions.
Michelle puts her hand over her mouth as the others also watch in shock as to how in denial Carla is about it.
"You're not leaving Carla. You've got liver failure you could collapse at any time!" Another nurse says putting the drip back into Carlas hand which she previously ripped out.
"Carla calm down" Johnny says.
Out of no where, Carla has a breakdown.
She starts shouting and doing anything to get out of that hospital bed. "NO NO IM FINE" she repeated yells.
"Right can you get them all to leave. She's not gonna clam down with them here" one of them says to another.
"Right can you all leave please now!" The nurse shouts.
