Chapter 4.

He hugged her tightly as he could, he was glad to see her but something didn't look right. She looked awful, her skin looked pale, she looked weak. He sat on the floor and put her on his lap, holding her waist. There he could hear joey calling for an ambulance, yelling at them to come quick. Max looked shocked. Guessing the reason being was he was pushed away by his daughter & yelled at by his brother.

Lauren was having difficulty breathing as she tightened her hold on Jack. Within ten minutes the ambulance had arrived and put lauren on the stretcher. They had taken her to the hospital and had rushed her as they feared they were going to lose her. Abi ran to tell her mum what happened and agreed to look after oscar as Tanya went to the hospital. Fatboy was stood there watching Joey, and as Joey was about to go Fatboy walked upto him. 'Don't you dare go to see her, this is your fault as much as her parents. It was our fault too. We saw what happened to her and we ignored it. She wouldn't let me help her. Me, joey I'm her best friend. You know what she said to me two weeks ago' Fatboy said to him anger clearly about to blow.

Flashback

Lauren was sitting at the table drinking. Her head was resting on the table surrounded by 6 empty glasses. Fatboy was walking around picking up the glasses from every table. As he saw lauren he sighed and went and sat next to her.

'Hey babygirl, what's up?' He wanted to know what's wrong and he wasn't going to beat around the bush. Lauren lifted her head and saw him smiling. She moved closer a little and rested her head on his shoulder 'I'm okay. Same family drama' she said.

'Babygirl, you can tell me you know that.' He said softly.

'You know fats why your my best friend?' She asked him and she slightly looked at him waiting to see his answer. He shook his head clearly indicating a no. 'Because' she carried on 'you don't say anything mean to me like Whit & Lucy. Your always there and your never too busy either. I mean look your working but uve managed to sit next to me and ask how I am. You never judge me Fats. Everyone else thinks I'm a drunk. I can't see Joey with her Fats. It breaks my heart to see them laughing and being dead close to each other. He never trusted me, he didn't believe me when I told him it was Lucy who spiked my drink. I know now why she did it. To get Joey. But he never believed me and he broke my heart fats. My friends go out and they don't ask me to come. They all forgot about me fats.' She got up quickly wishing she'd never talk this much. She didn't want him to tell them what she thought. 'I hate all of them fats, when ever they need me poor lauren I always go to help them and when I need my friends they never there for me fats. It would be better off if I died. Then it wouldn't hurt seeing them ignore me everytime they all see me.' She whispered and went out the door leaving fats with tears.

End of flashback.

'Happy now, are you. Have you seen what you have all done to her.' If anything happens to her Joey ill never forgive u. All of you.' Fatboy said as he looked at all his mates and ran out to go to see lauren.

The doctor came out with a look on his face. Jack jumped up and walked to him. 'How is she?' He asked him. 'Well she's okay for now. We have done some check ups after she told us she was getting pains through her abdomen. We think she may have appendicitis but after we get the results back we'll know for sure. But that's not all. She has hepatitis. We noticed how damaged her lungs are. We have to ask this but does lauren drink?' He explained everything. 'Yeah she does, just like any normal teenager does.' Max explained. 'Mr Branning I'm sorry to say but your daughter drinks ten times the amount a women should be drinking. We have results back which shows liver damage that explains the colour of her skin. One more drink could actually kill her. I've told her all this as she is now awake but you need to keep her away from alcohol. You can go and see her but one at a time and she has asked for Jack?' He said to max.

Jacks POV

I walked in to see her eyes shut, she looked so peaceful lying there. No emotion on her face. The doctor shocked me with what he had said. One more drink could kill her. We had to persuade her to stop drinking. I needed to help her. Maybe this is what she was trying to say. Maybe she knew she needed help. She opened her eyes as I held her hand. She was weak and in so much pain.

'Hey Princess, hope your okay? You certainly know how to make an entrance don't you, you drama queen?' I said teasing her. I felt so happy when I heard her giggle a little.

'That's because you old man, need competition. I heard you argue with joey & dad. Needed to upstage u right?' She replied back in her usual sarcastic tone but the difference was she was having difficulty breathing. Her eyes suddenly started watering. 'I'm sorry Uncle Jack, I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't keep watching them walk around together. Couldn't see Joey with my ex best friend. I want Bradley back so much Uncle Jack.' She started crying as I went and held her tight. Promising things would be okay.
