Chapter 2: Strangers
Amy POV
In about ten minutes flat Amy and Lauren reach the hospital and are right outside her mother's room. The ER is packed for a Wednesday night there are a bunch of people in stretchers scattered over the ER floor. Apparently, there was not enough rooms available but at least her mother had a room. She opens the sliding glass door and sees her mother sleeping, almost peacefully, Amy wants her mother to wake up but at the same time doesn't because she does not want to see the disappointed look on her mother's face when she sees her.
Amy never intended to hurt her mother like this but the drugs where the only way she could escape the pain. Being rejected by the person she loved most in the world, the person who claimed to love her but could not in that way.
Her phone begins to ring and she steps outside of the room. Its Karma.
"Karma I can't…."
"Amy! Me and Liam got in a HUGE fight." Karma cut Amy off, crying hysterically.
"Karma CALM DOWN! My mom is in….."
"He called me a selfish bitch. All I wanted to do was meet his family. What is his problem! He is selfish not me." Karma screams into the phone.
"KARMA! I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW." Amy screams into her phone, hanging up, as she turns a corner walking down the ER hallway. Out of the corner of her eye she sees a dark haired girl in a stretcher right in the hallway. She looks only a little older then Amy she wonders how she got here. She is sleeping in fetal position in the stretcher. From what Amy can tell she is very pretty. The dark haired girl's eyes open and they make eye contact but only for a second until Amy turns around and walks away embarrassed.

Reagan POV
Everything went by so quickly. I see my cousin crying next to me, telling me to stay awake. I hear the ambulance come and I drift into sleep. I wake up and I am somewhere in the hospital lying on a stretcher in the middle of the hallway. All I see is this blonde trying to talk into the phone. I pretend to sleep, I don't want her to notice me. The pain is enough I do not need to be embarrassed too. I open my eyes real quick and we make eye contact. It was weird but I kind of liked it. She walks away and I am left here alone, again.
