Chapter 14:

Miss Fleming reached towards the female, her fingers trembling. There was such a high chance that the female could be Mitchie. But if the female was not Mitchie, Miss Fleming was sure that the hearts of the 6B girls would break.

As she slowly and gently brushed the brown hair away from the female's face, Miss Fleming prayed hard that this was Mitchie all of them were staring at. Finally, all the hair was pulled to the side of the female's face and the group could see her features. They all gasped.

The female lying on the ground was Michelle Demitrica Torres, aka Mitchie Torres.

Caitlyn eyes widened and she paled immediately on seeing Mitchie. Her best friend looked terrible. Mitchie's usual face had lost its color and her lips were not as red as before but it was extremely white.

"W...What happened to you Mitchie?" Ella chocked out, also as stunned as Caitlyn as she kneeled down in front of her friend. Tori and Malory did the same, tears brimming in their eyes as they glanced at their friend's figure.

A few bruises were on Mitchie's hands and legs and her clothes were all soaking wet from the rain. Alexia touched Mitchie's face as pulled back instantly. "She is so cold..." Alexia didn't say anything else. Chelsea carefully laid a hand on Mitchie's forehead and she frowned.

"She is running a high temperature Miss Fleming." Chelsea reported. The headmistress recovered from her shock just like the other girls and took charge immediately. "She must have caught the flu bug that is going around Alfea and fainted maybe due to the lack of energy." Miss Fleming told the group and fished out a towel from her bag.

The headmistress handed the towel to Felicity. "Rinse it with clean water quickly Felicity." She instructed. Felicity wasted no time and immediately dug out the water bottle from her bag and did what she was told.

Miss Fleming took the dam towel from Felicity's hands and placed it gently on Mitchie's forehead. "Okay, now that is done. She really has a high temperature. I think it is better if we take her to the hospital, just in case." Miss Fleming announced.

Alyssa whipped out her cell phone as fast as lightning and dialed the ambulance hotline, briefly explaining the situation to the person who was in charge. Seconds later, she hung up the phone. "They are on their way." She reported.

Miss Fleming nodded her head, trying her very best not to panic in a situation like this. The group tried their very best to keep Mitchie warm while waiting for the ambulance. Soon after, the wailing of the sirens could be heard and an ambulance stopped near the group.

Paramedics carrying a stretcher came out of the ambulance. Mitchie was placed onto the stretcher and carried into the ambulance. One of the paramedics turned to Miss Fleming. "We need one of you to ride with us in the ambulance. Who is her closest kin mam?" He inquired to Miss Fleming.

All eyes turned and looked at Mitchie's closest friends Caitlyn and Ella. Ella shrugged and pointed at the curly haired girl beside her. "I am her best friend." Caitlyn replied, stepping forward. The paramedic nodded and motioned for her to get onto the ambulance.

Caitlyn started to walk but before getting up the ambulance, mouthed to Ella. Call Shane and tell him everything. Her friend nodded her head and gave her a thumb's up, signaling that she knew what to do.

The paramedic jumped into the ambulance as well, but not before a reminder. "Mam, please inform all the lady's relatives and get them to 'Russell's Hospital.' We can't give out any information unless they are there." Miss Fleming gave a nod at the paramedic.

"Thank you mam." He responded, before closing the back door of the ambulance. The ambulance then sped off. Once the ambulance was away from view, Miss Fleming turned to the remaining 6B girls with her.

"Right. We have a lot to do girls. Let's first make our way to the nearest washroom to clean up. Then, we have to phone the school, the rest of 6B, Mitchie's parents and the Connect 3." Miss Fleming counted the list off her fingers and glanced at her students. They all nodded and Malory motioned Miss Fleming to continue.

"So, I will assign duties. Ella, you inform the connect 3 about this matter. They are near this area am I right?" The headmistress directed her question at Mitchie's other friend and a nod was her only reply.

"Gaby, inform the other Alfea girls and I will handle everyone else. The rest of you, just freshen yourselves up and relax for a while before we head of to the hospital." The headmistress finished what she had to say and the group immediately followed orders.

Gaby, Ella and Miss Fleming whipped out their cell phones and dialed the familiar numbers of Mitchie's family and friends. They separated to different corners so as to not interrupt anyone's conversation.

With Gaby...

The sound of the common room phone was ringing. Hurry and pick up... this is important! Gaby thought, biting her lower lip.

Natalie: Hello?
Gaby: Thank god Nat! I thought something happened to you guys.

Natalie: GABY! Uggh, finally! We have been waiting for your call the entire morning!

Gaby: I am sorry Natalie. Can you put me on speaker?

Natalie: Sure! (Shouts: Guys! Gaby's on the phone!)

Gaby could her shouts, squealing and scrambling over the phone and she couldn't help but let out a small smile.

Everyone: Hi Gabs!

Gaby: Hey guys.

Lani: How are you guys?
Brynn: Have you found Mitchie yet Gaby?

Gaby: Lani, we are doing okay. And yes, Mitchie is found Brynn.

Everyone: *Squeals* Can we talk to her?
Gaby: I am afraid not now. She was unconscious when we found her.

Priya: WHAT! Where is she at the moment?

Gaby: On the way to the hospital with Caitlyn.

Sally: Is there anything we can do?

Gaby: Yes. Get change into something presentable, leave Alfea and catch the first train to 'Russell's Hospital.' Mitchie is going to need everyone's support.

Darrell: Not a problem Gabs. We are getting annoyed by questions anyways.

Gaby: I am so sorry guys. It must have been a long morning for you.

Liana: It is alright Gaby. We wanted to help.

Valerie: What about the teachers and Miss Jenks? Do we need to inform them?

Gaby: Miss Fleming is calling them and Mitchie's parents.

Wilma: Now that is a relief. We will get there as soon as we can Gaby.

Gaby: Okay, We will see you there. (Hangs up.)

With Ella...

Once Ella was sure she was alone, she quickly speed dialed Jason's cell number and waited for him to answer. She was tapping her foot on the ground impatiently, desperately wanting to get to the hospital to see Mitchie. Jason, please, pick up... The 18 year old pleaded in her mind.

Jason: Hey Ella! (Happy)

Ella: Hello Jason. I need to speak with all of you. Please put Shane and Nate onto the phone.

Jason: No problem Ella. They are right beside me. *Presses a button on the phone.*

Nate: Hey Ella! Why are you calling? I thought Caitlyn said you all were going to have a Girl's day out?

Ella: Hey Nate, our trip was cancelled. Hey Shane. You guys are near Alfea right?

Shane: Yeah, Ella, what's wrong? You sound... scared.

Ella was afraid. She was afraid to break the news to the Connect 3, especially Shane. She inhaled deeply and prepared for the worse as she spoke her next few words.

Ella: Actually, there is something you guys need to know. It concerns Mitchie... *trails off.*

Shane: WHAT? What is wrong with her Ella? (Very worried.)

Ella: Well, Sierra passed away around 10 days ago and Mitchie was super depressed. She ran away from Alfea last night to attend Sierra's funeral which is today.

Nate: How come we are not aware of this? And how is Mitchie now?

Ella: None of us knew Nate. Not even Caitlyn. But I believe some of the adults know about this. We found Mitchie already and she is heading to 'Russell's Hospital' with Caitlyn.

Jason: And you want us to get there ASAP right?
Ella: Yup. Mitchie needs all the support she can get, especially you Shane.

Shane: Okay. We will meet you at Russell's Hospital in about an hour. We are a little far from there.

Ella: Alright and be careful. Don't rush yourselves. (Hangs Up.)

Ella let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. At least that was over. She turned and looked at Miss Fleming, who had just hung up the phone as well after talking to both Mitchie's parents and Miss Jenks.

Miss Jenks had promised the headmistress to keep things as low as she can but they all needed to be back by 7.30pm so that it would be a realistic time for the other students to believe her excuses. Noticing Ella's look, the headmistress smiled at the other good friend of Mitchie.

"Don't you worry Ella. We will get there as soon as we can." The headmistress patted Ella's shoulder gently. Ella returned Miss Fleming's smile. "How did Connie react?" She inquired out of curiosity, although in her heart she dreaded to know the answer.

The headmistress's smile slip to a frown in a split second and she shook her head. "Not very well I am afraid. I could hear Connie almost weeping over the phone. She will inform Steve and they will try to get her as fast as they can. But I am sure that will take at least 2 to 3 hours as the driving distance is so long." Miss Fleming told Ella.

Just then, Gaby and the other members of 6B walked over. "Are you all freshened up?" The headmistress asked. They all nodded. Ella and Miss Fleming quickly did the same. Soon, they were ready to go. The group picked up their bag packs, threw away their litter and headed for the nearest bus station.

It was time to get to Russell's Hospital to visit Mitchie.

Okay, now I am going to announce something I am sure you guys will be happy about. The next chapter will have Smitchie, Naitlyn and Jella romance in it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please read and review. It will be greatly appreciated.
