A/N: Thanks everyone for all the...ah...helpful reviews! Keep reading!
Disclaimer: Thought I might mention this again, because I'm making my own story with Laine Cummings (and some Stacey McGill). Everything else is TOTALLY made up and my own!!!
Laine stumbled through the darkness. "Liz! Liz, where are you! I want to talk to you!"
"I can't talk to you," muttered a shadowed figure. "I have to go...I have to leave...NOW!"
With a start, Laine woke up, sweating. She looked around wildly. The room was white and bland. It took her a moment to realize where she was. The hospital.
"Laine!" her mother's voice cut through the silence. Mrs. Cummings was sitting in a chair, but as soon as Laine weakly said "Mom?" she'd stood up and called the doctor.
Minutes later, a tall Asian man walked into the room with a clipboard. He glanced at Laine and flipped through the papers on the clipboard.
"Well, Mrs. Cummings," the doctor began, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Laine. I think she's just under massive stress. And perhaps she had a bit of a shock."
Mrs. Cummings looked confused. "But what kind of stress might she be under? And what shocked her?" Laine hated the way the two adults were speaking as if she wasn't present in the room.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from a speaker in the room. "Paging Dr. Chen! Dr. Chen to the ER STAT!"
Without a word, the doctor, (apparently Dr. Chen), ran out of the room. Laine wondered what was going on. Then a stretcher was wheeled in front of Laine's room. The stretcher carried a thin girl with bright red hair. Her eyes were closed, and she wasn't moving. Laine suddenly realized who the girl was...it was Liz.
"Ohmigod." Laine jumped off the bed, Mrs. Cummings calling after her.
"Liz! Liz!" Laine called her best friend's name over and over. "What's wrong with her? What's going on?"
The nurse Laine was speaking to just stared stony faced at her. The look gave Laine chills, and she stopped chasing after the stretcher. Liz was pulled through a set of double doors. And Laine collapsed into a chair, breathing heavily.
