Found Lianna, there's apparently 2 ambulances, and two of the girls in each. You wanna come with us, and Kendall and Litos can go together?
- Logan
James looks at the text message from Logan, nodding his head. He quickly types back a 'yes', and turns back to Jenna.
"Jen? Baby, we need to get you into the ambulance, I'm gonna stand up, okay?" James tells her gently, kissing away a tear from her tear-stained face.
"Noooo," Jenna wails, clinging onto him. "Don't wanna move, don't feel good..."
"Aww, it's alright baby. The doctors will make you feel better. You're gonna be okay." James rises to his feet, resulting in a moan of pain from Jenna. He places another kiss on her head, before walking toward one of the ambulances, his sister sobbing in his arms.
He stops at the entrance to one of the ambulances, seeing Logan standing off to the side with Lianna cradled in his arms.
"Loges?" He calls, trying to get his friend's attention.
Logan looks up, his features softening. He walks over, whispering to Lianna. "Hey man, how's Jenna doing?"
"Not too great. She's in a lot of pain, and she's being pretty clingy. Lianna okay?" James replies.
"I think she's sick, along with how severely she's injured," Logan sighs.
"Dear god...you heard from Kendall and/or 'Litos?"
"Kendall texted me, he and Carlos are going to ride in the same ambulance. Carrie and Katie both seem a little sick, so I dunno...for now, we need to get Jenna and Lianna into the ambulances, there are stretches set up for each of them. We can go with them. Lianna's just terrified, and she won't leave my arms, is Jenna being clingy?"
"Yeah, she is, more than usual. I really feel horrible for them...they don't deserve this. I mean, this accident has broken them, physically and emotionally..."
Logan sighs, looking down at his sister. She's still weeping silently into his shirt, but the bleeding in her head has ceased, which is good. He places his palm on her forehead, then pulls it back a few seconds later. She's pretty warm, meaning she has a fever.
"She's feverish..." Logan admits. "Let's just get them into the ambulance and see how it goes from there."
"Okay," James answers. Jenna has fallen into a half-sleep against his chest, which relieves him. She deserves a temporary break from the pain, at least. He steps into the ambulance, seeing both the stretches sitting next to each other, with space on either side for him and Logan to sit. He places Jenna on the right stretcher, praying that she doesn't wake up. The injured girl stirs, but when James strokes her hair gently, falls back into sleep. James sighs in relief, sitting down on the bench next to her stretcher, and taking Jenna's hand in his.
"Alright, Li. I'm just gonna lay you down on this stretcher, okay?" Logan speaks softly to the battered girl in his arms, trying not to aggravate her headache, or scare her. Lianna's eyes widen, and she sobs harder, clinging onto him.
"Nooooooo..." She wails. "Logie..."
"Oh, babygirl, I'm sorry," Logan whispers, stepping into the ambulance. He places her onto the stretcher, his heart breaking when she screams loudly.
"Logie," She cries. "Please...I'm sorry...I won't be bad anymore...hold me...I'm scared..."
"Li...babygirl, I wish I could hold you. You'll be okay, baby. They'll take care of you. And I'll sit right here, okay?" Lianna hiccupped and nodded at Logan's words, closing her eyes, tears still streaming down her cheeks. Logan kisses them away gently, before taking her unbroken hand in his, and sitting down across from the stretcher.
...
In the other ambulance, Carlos isn't having an easy time. Kendall was able to get Katie onto the stretcher, after a few minutes of comfort, but Carrie's in so much pain, she's being extra clingy.
"C'mon Care-bear, you need to lay on the stretcher so we can go to the hospital. They'll help you feel better," Carlos murmurs. Carrie's face is hidden in his chest, as she chokes with sobs. "I'm sorry, baby." Carlos places her on the stretcher, cringing when she screams.
It hurts so much, and all she wants is to be in her brother's arms. It doesn't look like that'll happen anytime soon, though.
...
Lianna is barely awake, but the pain is keeping her up. Truthfully, she's exhausted, but even if she weren't injured, she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep. She sleeps in Logan's bed with him almost every night. They share a room, and she does have her own bed, but nightmares and the fear of closing her eyes keep her awake, and she can't fall asleep unless she's wrapped in Logan's arms, his heartbeat lulling her into slumber.
"Babygirl, you doing okay?" Logan asks, concern in his eyes. She knows he's beyond worried, and doesn't blame him. If their roles were reversed, she'd be out of her mind with worry. Honestly, she isn't okay, and he knows that.
"It hurts so much..." she moans, looking up at him with glassy eyes. She doesn't feel that great either. She's absolutely freezing, her source of warmth having been taken away.
"Can you give her something to at least dull the pain?" Logan asks a paramedic, worry in his gaze.
"Yeah, I think so," The paramedic replies, rummaging in the shelves. She finally pulls out a large needle, and puts on some gloves. She turns to face Lianna, who stares up at her.
"Oh, shit..." Logan mutters. Lianna is deathly terrified of needles. She goes into panic attacks, breakdowns, the worst anyone's ever seen her, when she catches sight of one. Logan hopes that the horrible pain will be enough to make her realize that getting the shot will numb her pain a little.
It's too late. Lianna's already seen the needle, and she screams. Tears begin to stream down her cheeks, as she lets out violent sobs, screaming loudly.
It's official. Lianna Mitchell is freaking out.
...
Jenna whimpers, looking at her surroundings. She's on a stretcher, in a moving ambulance. She can see James sitting next to her, but on her other side, she can hear Lianna's screams. Her best friend is freaking over something, and it doesn't seem good.
"J-Jamie...? I'm scared..." she whimpers. She needs her brother right now.
"Jen, it's okay. You're gonna be okay, baby sis. I'm here, and I'll never leave you."
Again, angst, but not as bad as the second chapter, I hope. I uploaded this early, I have things to do tomorrow, plus I'm going to see BTR in concert tomorrow night! I'm really excited for it and stuff 8D The next chapter will be up maybe tomorrow, probably Friday. The next chapter will also include more of Carrie and Katie, if you were wondering. Review!
