Chapter 4>

"Mom!" Colleen screamed as she ran over to her mom's side. Colleen felt for a pulse and found a very faint one. Mimi was breathing but was having great difficulty doing so.

"Someone call 911!" Colleen shouted as she ran over to the door to see if Mark was on the staircase.

He wasn't.

SHIT! Okay stay calm. Call 911 and get her on the couch. Thought Colleen as she ran over to the phone with tears starting to run down her face. After making the phone call she carried/lifted/dragged Mimi over to the ratty couch. About five minuets later the ambulance arrived and took Mimi and Colleen to the hospital.

On the ride over Colleen tried to think of a way to get in touch with someone. Mark is out filming and doesn't have a cell phone, cross him off. Dad is at band practice and I think he is at the drummer's house. Crap I don't know that number and no cell to call. Collins is… working I think and no cell phone. Damn these people need to get upgraded! Okay um oh! Joanne! Thank God! She has a cell phone AND pager! Pager! DUH! They all have pagers! I'm such an idiot! Okay as soon as I get to the hospital I will use one of their phones and call Joanne's cell phone and then page the others.

After sorting all of that out Colleen looked over at her mom. The paramedics were busy working on her. Mimi's face was very pale and she looked so helpless. A few minuets later the younger of the two paramedics started to ask Colleen some questions. Like any other diseases that Mimi had besides AIDS which Colleen had told them about right away. Soon after they reached the hospital. The paramedics raced Mimi into it and Colleen fallowed close behind. She finally found a phone and started the numerous calls that she would have to make. She was able to reach Joanne and she had said that Maureen, Daphne and her would be there as soon as they could. Colleen finished making all her calls and then went into the waiting area. About ten minuets later Maureen and Daphne burst in. They ran up to her and both hugged her at the same time.

"Oh my gosh are you okay? Is she okay? Do you know what's going on? Can we see her?" Maureen started asking as fast as she had just entered. Then she ran off without an answer to find a doctor.

"Well?" Daphne wanted the answers to the questions that her mom had just asked.

"I'm fine, but I haven't been able to see her yet. I think the doctor said they had to do a lot of tests of something. But otherwise I'm clueless." Colleen took a deep breath and then slouched back down on the chair, Daphne followed in suit.

"Don't worry everything is going to be okay." Daphne said quietly trying to sound cheerful. Joanne soon walked in and asked Colleen the same questions and then went to go find Maureen. Mark arrived about a half hour later saying that he had gone back to the loft and left a note for Roger. Colleen slowly got more and more tired and eventually fell asleep in her chair.

A/N: Reviews are welcome! Chapter 5 should be up soon! Until next time!
