"Lenny come back to me"

"Breathe Lenny you can't leave us!"

One One Thousand Two one thousand three one thousand pumping her chest I counted each one out loud. No one ever tells you just how damn tough pumping life into someone is. Her chest felt tight and I could barely make it. My arms and neck were aching.

Where was the ambulance why was it taking so damn long? Covering my mouth over Len's I opened hers wide and held her nose. With every breath I had left in me I breathed it into hers praying it would be enough.

"Lenny please it's Liam"

"I need you to hear me"

"Please Lenny I know you hate this life but I promise you Len"

"I will make it better"

"I'm trying to change I will help demolish the monarchy"

"Our lives will be better"

"You'll see please you have to stay strong"

"Fight Lenny if not for yourself than for me"

"I need you Len I know it's selfish but I don't care"

Liam's voice was so heartbroken and scared it knocked me out of my memories. Tears welled up as I watched him sitting by his twins bedside holding her hand. His fingers rubbed over her knuckles.

I felt my heartbreaking for Liam he seemed so lost so much had already happened to him. He lost his only brother his father was in a coma and he had no idea who to trust. Now his lifeline his sister was fighting for her life. He was helpless.

"She can't die Phi"

"She just can't"

"She won't Liam"

I hooked my arm through his resting my head on his shoulder. I reached over and took Lenny's other hand. Her skin was cool to the touch they were still trying to warm her body up.

God she looked so broken I hated seeing her like this. Lenny deserved so much better.

For the first ten hours I have been stationed here at her bedside. Liam was missing all day yesterday and all night. Finally Marcus had found him about two hours ago.

He was hungover but the reality of his sister's condition sobered him up quickly.

The doctors weren't saying much about what was going on. The not knowing was driving me insane.

I kept flashing back to the minutes before she had collapsed. She was so happy grinning she really loved dancing and she was so amazing. My eyes couldn't take themselves off of the way she swayed her hips. How her eyes lite up as she landed the trickiest of moves.

Minutes later she was laying on the ground drained of color unresponsive not breathing.

My heart had been pounding so hard I felt sick but I had no time to get sick I had to act fast. I had to save her life. I couldn't let her die she had no idea how I felt about her. I had to tell her.

Alone I paced the halls and the tiny waiting room waiting for news scared for Liam having no clue where he had gone to. No one came from the palace. I called my dad I know the queen had to know and she hadn't even bothered to show up for her own daughter.

Heartless bitch. She didn't deserve to have such an amazing daughter like Len.

Liam held her hand to his face tears streaming down. I watched the monitors feeling my own breath being taken away.

Systolic 75

Diastolic 60

Heartbeat 70

Breaths Pr Minute 6-7

These numbers scared me gripping me as I closed my eyes holding her hand tighter than before. Please god let her live. She's too young to die.

90 minutes they had worked to give her CPR shocking her pumping her breathing into her. Giving her oxygen. She still hadn't revived so they placed her on this machine. They called it a ECMO short for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The machine was acting as her lung delivering oxygen into her blood. Her blood was being channeled into a roller pump which was serving as her heart through out the treatment. The pump was sending blood through an oxygenator which services as an acting lung. Infusing the blood with oxygen removing carbon dioxide returning it to Eleanor.

She was covered in machines tubes wires from her head face neck arms legs stomach private parts even her fingers had machines on them.

"Lenny please fight"

"We all love you"

"Liam, Marcus, Beck your dad and I"

"I know we don't know each other well but you have been my best friend"

"You've been an amazing generous friend you didn't have to be thanks Lenny for everything but please I need more time with you we all do please fight to stay with us"
