The ride to the hospital was excruciating at best for Cheyenne. First it was excruciating for the obvious reason. Her daughter was in the hospital. She had no idea what was wrong with her or if she would even live. That alone is a mother's worst nightmare.
For Cheyenne however it was worse because both Van and Kyra were mad at her. They made it clear that they were mad at her.
"I DON'T NEED THIS CRAP RIGHT NOW," she yelled
"Yeah," Kyra retorted, "then maybe you shouldn't have been a JERK."
"You're the one being a jerk now," Cheyenne said exasperated, "my daughter is in the hospital. I would think-"
"Oh well there's your problem," Van said, "you tried to think. You're too dumb to do that"
"VAN STEVEN HART MONTGUMMERY," Reba yelled, "AND KYRA ELLONER HART—THAT'S ENOUGH. YES CHEYENNE MADE A MISTAKE BUT YOU ARE CARRYING THIS WAY TOO FAR. STOP BEING SO GOD-DAMN SELFISH AND START THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE BESIDES YOURSELF FOR ONCE"
"Thanks mom," Cheyenne whispered.
"Cheyenne it's going to be okay. We don't even know what's wrong"
"What's wrong is Cheyenne's an idiot"
"Kyra one more comment like that and you're grounded for 3 months," Reba warned.
Kyra huffed in her seat but didn't say another word.
"I'm sorry," Van said softly to Cheyenne, "I didn't mean to be so mean to you. I was just upset about the jersey shrinking. I shouldn't have taken it to that level"
"It's okay Van, and I'm sorry about what I did… I was stressed out and I didn't know what to do," Cheyenne said to Kyra.
"Whatever," Kyra mumbled
"Kyra your sister is apologizing to you"
"Well I'm not ready to accept it," Kyra said, "she hurt my feelings most of all"
"You know what young lady," Reba said, "you need to grow up. What Cheyenne did was wrong but she is going through a horrifying experience right now and your attitude isn't helping one bit."
"Mom," Cheyenne said, "do you still love me"
"Of course I do," Reba answered, "I'm not happy about your behavior but I will always love you"
"I'm sorry mom"
"We'll talk about it later," Reba said gently, "right now we need to worry about Elizabeth"
Just at that point they pulled into the hospital entrance.
Lori-Ann met them at the entrance way.
"GOD Lori-Ann what happened?"
"She was having some stomach pains and she passed out," Lori-Ann answered with tears in her eyes.
"Do you know what's wrong with her yet?"
"That's the thing," Lori-Ann said, "the tests results haven't come back yet, but I suspect its liver failure. For now she's on Life Support"
