A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry, this one is pretty short, but it's really intense!
Enjoy :D
Joe quickly runned to the toilet. He almost crashed into the door, and quickly pulled it open. It was empty. He tried to calm himself. She was allright, she was just doing something. He breathed heavily. He walked to the information desk. 'Eh, miss, Lauren is gone!' he yelled. The nurse's eyes widened. 'I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. She should be in her room. Are you sure?' she asked him. 'YES OF COURSE I'M SURE!' Joe jelled. The nurse quickly got up and ran over to another doctor. Joe walked to Lauren's room again. The empty room seemed unnatural. He walked over to her empty bed. He stroked the pillow. Then he saw her infusion tube, it looked like it was pulled out in a hurry. What had happened? He had to warn the others. He walked through the doors to wake them.
Jaime's eyes widened as Joe told them Lauren was gone. Meredith had broken down in sobs, and Dylan had immediately gone downstairs to look if Lauren was in the restaurant. Joe was just pacing up and down the hall. Julia stroked Meredith's hair. Why was Lauren gone? And more important, where was she?
Joe stopped pacing and sat down on a hospital chair. He wanted to do something, he wanted to look for Lauren, but he didn't know where to start. He wondered if Lauren was okay, if she was even alive. The doctors would have told them if Lauren would be…Joe didn't want to think like that. He shuddered by the thought. Lauren couldn't be dead right? He thought of her big brown eyes that were always sparkling, and her beautiful smile. Tears began to form in his eyes. He couldn't think this way! He should be positive, just like Lauren always was. He decided that he should search for her. He got up and informed the other's that he was going out. He took a sprint down the stairs, and walked outside into the cold air. He shuddered, and hoped Lauren was at least inside, or she would be freezing. He stared down the parking space of the hospital. Where should he start?
Joe had searched all of the parking lot, and had found nothing. He was now pacing down to the street, and looked around. What if he found her, and she was in a really bad state? Would he be able to handle that? Would he be able to handle it anyway, with her not remembering that they declared their love for each other? He quickly pressed the thought away, it was much more important to actually find her. Even if she didn't remember, he could make her fall in love with him again. He smiled when he thought of her small warm hands, her beautiful brown hair, her soft lips… His thoughts drifted away and he remembered that he needed to find her first. So he started walking again, until he walked around the corner and saw a small body laying on the ground. His eyes widened. He recognized Lauren's dark hair, and quickly ran over to her. 'Lauren! Lauren, please wake up! Lauren!' he clutched her hand. It was ice-cold. How long had she been here? He quickly shoved his arms under her small body. 'Lauren, everything is going to be all right, I promise!' He remembered he already broke one of his promises. Tears were streaming down his face. Lauren's eyes were closed and her lips were almost blue. Her eyes were puffed and red, like she cried a lot. He stroked her face, and then felt her pulse. A soft thud was felt, and he sighed with relief. He quickly took a sprint to the hospital, he wasn't going to lose her!
Jaime was holding Joey's hand. They were all so worried. When Joe came crashing in the room, Julia quickly got up. She wanted to hug him, knowing it would be hard for him that Lauren was gone. But her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw that Joe was holding someone. Lauren. She looked terrible. Doctors quickly came running into the room and took Lauren and Joe with them. Julia was relieved that Lauren was found, but she feared the worst. Lauren looked very bad.
