Avery walked out a silent room, until Cadence cried out. The time on that was perfect, he calmly walked over and grabbed her from Scarlett. Giving her kiss on her head, he said "She is alive. Awake and talking." His attempt to hid is tears failed miserable.
"That is so good." Deacon said, knowing all to well that something is wrong. "Were here when you ready to tell us anything else."
"Take your time, Avery." Rayna chimes in.
Avery goes over to a chair and takes a sit, as does everyone else. "She has a broken leg, but she cant feel it because she might be paralyzed." He says, break into tears. "Just as we were getting along, this has to happen."
Everyone tried to keep their face calm, knowing that's what Avery needed but the Daphne and Maddie broke into tears. Rayna hugged Deacon and cried into his shoulder. She did not know what to think. All she could think is that Juliette is stubborn enough to make it through this no matter what.
Scarlett looked at Gunnar and all she could think about was Cadence. She had been through enough and did not need to be going through this. She worried about Avery and most worried about Juliette's reaction to this news. Thinking of her addictions and PPD.
Will went to Avery and said "We are her for you." At this Avery cried some more thinking about his last words to her, "we are still here." He knows Will alone meant good by this and that he did not understand.
Avery managed to get up and said "Thank you guys for coming, now that we know she is okay, I think we should take turns whose here, not everyone has stay up." Trying to make them more comfortable.
"We are staying till there is more news. We will fall asleep in the chairs. We love you and Juliette." Rayna said, speaking for everyone.
Avery did not say anything, he only sat down again. As did everyone. " I think im going go bring Cadence to Juliette. She sleep on the bed. I will come out with any news. I might fall asleep in there."
"Avery, let us know if there is anything else you need. I'll go run home and get some stuff for Cadence." Scarlett says.
Avery walks to the Juliette's room. Glenn and Emily excuse themselves to go deal with the press.
After he leaves, everyone starts to cry. They hold together for every but they couldn't now.
"I will be back guys, anyone else need anything?" Scarlett asks.
"Can you grab some pillows and blankets for the girls?" Rayna asks.
"I will bring back a bunch." Scarlett says walking out, she saw the paparazzi and kept it together.
"Is she okay?" "what happened?" rang out millions of times. She did not reply and quickly got into her car.
"Why did this happen?" Daphne asks still in tears.
"Sweetie, it was no ones fault. Bad things just happen. The good thing is she alive. Lets focus on that thought right now." Rayna responds, though her mind is going a millions times minute. In some ways she did deserve this, but not lately she turned her life around. Juliette had gotten the help she needed and was going on a good path a mother. She wanted to be a mother and was ready to be one.
Maddie confronts her sister. She thinks, this woman, head strong and brilliant is going through this. I put my parent through hell, what has this world come too. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!
Deacon, on the other hand is very concerned for Juliette's well-being. As an alcoholic himself and someone who know who a bombshell and can affect you, he really does not want her to go off the wagon or too much on the wagon either. Balance is key.
Gunnar and Will start talking, "Any idea why he freaked when I said we are here for you."
"No idea, it might just be everything getting to him." Gunnar responds. "I don't think he meant to hurt feelings."
Avery brings Cadence into Juliette's room. Juliette is still sound asleep. He lays Cadence down in between her arms. She coos a little bit and he starts to sing there lullaby. As he does this he faintly hears Juliette chime as well. At least she still has her voice, he thinks to himself.
After Cadence has fallen asleep in brings a chair and has hand on both of them as he fall asleep.
Sometime during the night, Emily brings blanket of him.
Glenn and Emily walk outside. They look at each other, distinctly knowing that this is going to be hard.
The press and paparazzi run up and 20 questions go off.
"Hold on Hold on." Glenn says. "I will say one thing. She is alive. The only survivor of the crash. And that's all for tonight."
As he walks off, he hears, "is it true that she might be paralyzed?" At moment, he looks at Emily but continues to walk off. Their eyes say it all, who spilled the damn beans.
