A/N: Hey! I'm really sorry I haven't updated. I have been super busy. I was out of town last week. I went to Washington D.C. Best. Trip. EVER! I went with a group at school. My friends and I had a blast. Anyways, I'm going out of town this weekend too, so I knew I had to get this out…especially because allycarterfanatic is going to come and find me if I don't. Haha. That's okay. I'm just glad people actually care about and like this story! I really love getting your reviews, so keep them coming! Without further ado…here we go!
Sorry for any mistakes. I still haven't caught up on all of my sleep since the trip.

Chapter 8
I frantically pushed through the doors of the hospital ER. I looked around and everywhere I turned there was somebody crying or screaming in pain. I already knew, from experience, that this was what an emergency room looked like on a rainy night.
My eyes finally found the desk with the nurse in it. She looked about as frazzled as I was sure that I looked. My feet immediately started in her direction. When I got there it was like I just froze. I could feel memories rushing back from my near death experience.
"Sir!"
I snapped out of my dream state. I looked at her, and she had a questioning look in her eyes. I heard a screaming cry in the background, and then remembered why I was here.
"I need to see Olivia…Abrams." I wasn't exactly sure if that was her last name or if Cammie had given Olivia her namesake after Josh died.
The nurse typed in the name and started to search her list. She was taking a long time, so I snapped. Hey! Don't blame me. A little girl that I loved like she was my own was hurt and in the hospital!
"Could you please hurry? I need to know if she's okay….NOW preferably."
I didn't have to wait much longer than that because I could hear my name being called in the distance.
I turned my head and saw Cammie standing there. She looked completely disheveled. Her sandy blonde hair was in a rat's nest, her pretty sapphire eyes were no longer shining, and there was a huge bruise on her cheek. As I continued to look her up and down I saw a cast on her left arm, another bruise on her right shin, and a brace on her left ankle. I almost cried at the sight of her. Wouldn't you if the love of your life was hurt?
After I was done and broken out of my stupor, I ran over to her and gently took her in my arms. She wrapped her good arm around me tightly. She started to back up, and I let go reluctantly.
"What happened?" I questioned softly.
"There's no time. Olivia's in surgery. I'll explain later."
She started down the corridor and I followed her. I was saddened even more by the sight of her limp. We finally made it to the ICU waiting room, and the doors automatically slid open. I was almost surprised when she reached back for my hand. I was really surprised when I sat down and she crawled in my lap as best as she could with her left ankle hurt. I decided not to question it and just wrapped my arms around her tightly.
We just sat there for at least half an hour with her sobbing in my arms like she was a child again. I sat there stroking her back and whispering soothing words in her ear until I couldn't take it anymore.
"Cam? What happened?"
She looked up at me with her big, blue eyes, and started her story.
"Livvy and I had been at the park and shopping all day. We had just finished our dinner at the park when it started to rain. I picked Livvy up and all of our stuff and ran to hail a cab. I finally got one, but it didn't matter we were soaked through. She was so happy to be in the rain though. She loved it! She was squealing, laughing, and tilting her head back to drink the water.
"Her laugh was infectious. I couldn't help it I started laughing too. We got in the cab and were almost home when the lightning started. Olivia didn't like that as much and started to cry. The cab driver was distracted by it, because she was getting really loud. I finally calmed her down enough that she was just sniffling."
I could see that her tears were about to start again, so I started rubbing her back again.
"It was too late though some car came out of nowhere, running a red light and smashed into the backseat driver's side of the car. I was sitting there with Livvy curled up in my lap. I threw us across the seat and my body over hears, but it didn't matter. She had already hit her head and I could see her arm and leg were broken. I didn't even care that I was hurt, Zach. My baby, my sweet, sweet baby, was hurt. The force had knocked her unconscious!
"I was hysterical. I wouldn't let them check me out. I just had to know that she was okay! I didn't let them touch me until she was taken back for surgery. She broke her arm, leg, and has a concussion and possibly internal bleeding. Zach, my little girl is back there! Why wasn't it me? Why? Why?"
She broke down in sobs, and I could not hold back my tears anymore. I just let them flow silently down my cheeks while I held her in my arms.
I just kept whispering, "It's going to be okay," and, "She's going to be fine!" in her ear. I hoped that by the grace of God it would be.
She didn't stop until she caught sight of the doctor coming out of the surgical hallway in his surgical gear. She frantically rushed out of my arms.
"Is she okay? Please, please tell me she's okay!"
I simply stood behind her, and she reached back for my hand again.
The doctor finally smiled and started to tell us how the surgery went and what they did.
I could see that Cammie was glad to hear that, but she just wanted to know if her little girl was okay.
"Is she going to be okay?"
"She's going to be fine, Ms. Morgan. Just fine."
