A/N: I want to change the title of the entire story but I really can't think of one! I'll think about it later, but I might end up changing it anyway. It depends on how I end it. It's still got plenty of chapters before the end but I'm still trying to choose between two different ideas I have for the ending! Also, this is a very short chapter, mainly because the next one needs to be by itself. I'll try to make the next one longer.
How To Save a Life

-Alex-

I walked all the way down the stairs so I wasn't stuck in the elevator with the parents or anything. I walked not thinking about where I was going, just walking. Thinking about Summer and how I could try to get her out of here. I'm the only one allowed in the room other than her Dad because she has no siblings. She's already been here for days, so she really needs to leave. Staying here is making everything much more difficult on her. What she needs is to go home and relax.

I stood there fidgeting, then took my phone out of my purse. I flipped it open and just stared at it.

I gasped. I have an idea. But it would require a ruined vacation. Worth it.

It started ringing and Marissa picked up. "Hi, who's this?"

"Hi…Marissa…this is Alex. I know it's weird that I'm calling you but it's really important, so you really have to listen. Something happened a few days ago and Summer really needs the three of you to come back down and be here as soon as you can."

"Oh no, okay, we'll be there as soon as you can. We won't drive, we'll fly instead."

"Okay, you really need to hurry. It's so important."

"Okay I'll call you when we're close to the hospital."

"Hey Marissa?"

"Yeah?"

"I need you to bring Luke too."

"Um…okay…"

"Just do it, okay?"

"Alright."

I hung up, put my phone away, and looked up. A familiar guy speed-walked right by me.

"Hey wait a minute! Get back here! Chris! Is that you! Come back!"

He jumped in his car and screeched away yet again.

What the hell was he here for? Oh my God SUMMER! She's by herself!

I ran back in through the hospital doors, down the hall and took the stairs, not wanting to wait for the slow elevator. I ran down the halls again stopping myself from hitting the walls on sharp turns, holding my arms out in front of me screaming "Someone please help, hurry!"

I ran into her room and she was unconscious, shaking, her heart monitor beeping like crazy and her EKG was shooting up tall mountains.

I screamed as I ran back out of her room calling the doctors saying something was wrong and that someone was in here.

As her EKG went flat, one of the doctors pulled out the defribulator, placing the paddles on both sides of Summer's chest, pressing the button, sending her torso up in the air about half a foot off her bed. They did this 3 times, and finally the heart monitor started beeping and the EKG was no longer flat. Her heart was pumping slowly but surely. I stood there shaking, wishing I knew where Chris was right now, so I could beat the shit out of him.

Four hours later, Summer was a little more stable and awake enough to talk to me. The doctor came in and gave me a strange look, glancing back and forth from me to Summer.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Every time you're in here, something seems to somehow go wrong. No one was even around when she went unconscious and nearly lost her life. Do you have an explanation for that?"

"I WAS OUTSIDE! YOU WEREN'T EVEN PAYING ATTENTION! How could you have even seen if anyone came into her room to hurt her if you were all down the hall? How do twenty nurses all stay in the same fucking room!"

Again, a couple men held me by my arms and escorted me all the way out of the hospital's front doors this time, asking me not to come back in again.

Oh shit. I dialed Marissa's number just as she, Ryan, Seth and Luke pulled up, jumping out of the SUV.
