Cammie's P.O.V.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up back home, but life isn't that fair to me, is it? I was too jarred to sleep. My dad, the one who's been missing for 8 years, was taken away from my mom and I. Now, knowing he's alive, I won't stop until him, Mark, and my friends are safe. My internal clock told me it was around 6:47 A.M. so it's no telling when my dad would be back. I guess I should just try to drift off for a bit. I closed my eyes, thinking about all my friends at Gallagher. Before I knew it, I was asleep.

Christina's P.O.V.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
The pain was unbearable. I was just sitting in Culture and Assimilation and a wave of pain hit me in the stomach like a machine gun. It was so sharp and sudden, I gasped slightly and dropped one of Madame Dabney's very expensive china cups. All heads turned towards me. However, instead of Madame D. going crazy on me, she looked excessively concerned when she saw me with my arms wrapped around my stomach, gasping in pain with tears in my eyes. She came over to me, holding onto both of my shoulders looking me in my tear-filled eyes.
"Darling, are you okay?" Madame D. asked me, with a tender and cautious tone. I couldn't even speak, so I just shook my head no. Madame Dabney called over one boy, Landon Blake.
"Can you take Christina to the infirmary." She said sternly. Landon nodded. He looked over a me.
"Can you walk?" Landon asked. I noticed he had a deep Australian accent. I shook my head. I was sobbing hysterically. He nodded lightly
"Would you prefer me to carry you?" Landon asked politely. I nodded. He gently swept me up bridal style and carried me off to the infirmary.
I felt horrible for ruining Landon's shirt with my tears, but I was in too much pain to worry about that. I was really touched because Landon stayed with me until Mrs. Morgan came (Dad was extremley busy and couldn't get to me.) She was intensely sweet and affectionate. The nurse told me this was actually my PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) acting up. One wave of pain hit me severely hard and soon after, I lost consciousness.

Rachel's P.O.V.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
I was sitting in the chair, next to Christina's bed, when I heard the cardiac machine slow down meagerly. Without hesitation, I got up and went to find the nurse. When I found her, I explained how Christina's heart beat suddenly slowed down. Her eyes widened and she went get two doctors. They came back with the Defibrillator. I was shocked.
"B-but her heart is still beating." I said. The doctor on the left, Dr. Harris looked me in the eyes.
"One side effect of PID that rarely happens is irregular heart beats." He announced. "If we don't bring it up now, she won't have a change of surviving through this." I nodded, still very shocked. The doctor's walked quickly into Christina's room and closed the door behind them. I looked through the window of her room's door. I saw the doctor preparing the defibrillator. Then I heard the cruel, unsettling sound of the cardiac machine going flat-lined.
4 hours later
I could still hear the ringing of the cardiac machine in my ears. After about 5 minutes of trying to get Christina's heart to start beating again, the doctors finally got it beating. It was slow, but had a more steady beat to it. Christina looked drastically pale, which was very different from her normally tan skin. Joe was still busy, but he said he would be here ASAP. I decided not to tell him about Christina being legally dead for 5 minutes because that would just kill him. Christina's boyfriend, Sam came as soon as his 8th class period was finished.
It was almost time for dinner and I needed to go eat something.
"Are you going to stay here?" I asked Sam. He nodded.
"I'm not hungry right now." He murmured, not taking his eyes off Christina. I gently put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'll bring you some crème brûlée." I whispered. Sam looked up at me and smiled.
"Thank you Mrs. Morgan." I smiled back at him lightly and exited the room.

Kenzie's P.O.V.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
I was woken up by a slight nudge to my ribcage. I sighed and decided to ignore it. The nudging was still persistent. I opened my eyes to see much sadder, greener, younger eyes looking back at me.
"Elise, what's wrong?" I asked sitting up sounding concerned. She sniffled, shedding a few tears.
"I had a bad dweam." She said looking her tiny feet, only protected by white socks. I ruffed my hair and held my arms open. Elise immediately ran into my arms and hugged me tightly. I gently stroked her soft hair. I leaned back against the wall.
"Shh. Shhh. It' okay now. Go to sleep." I lulled softly. Elise looked up at me, with her aborable green eyes.
"Can you sing me a song?" She asked. I nodded lightly.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go,
Somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.
By the time I was done, Elise was asleep in my arms. I kissed the top of her head lightly.
"You have a lovely voice, Kenzie." I heard a gruff voice say. Confused, I looked and a gasped. No. Freaking. WAY!
A/N I wonder who the mystery man is ;) The song Kenzie was singing was Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. I WANT ATLEAST 5 REVIEWS BEFORE MY NEXT UPDATE WHICH IS PROBABLY NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY MORNING! So review, review REVIEW!
