I walk outside to try and contain myself for the situation ahead of me. The air is cold and the breeze helps ease all of the tension on my body. It seems so quiet outside as if nothing had happened tonight, but that's not true. Everything happened and now im lost. I find myself walking around the corner and I decide to take a seat on a curb so I can calm down. I take my phone out and decide to start a message.

Jade: Hey could you do me a huge favor

Cat: sure Jadey

Jade: Make your way over to the LA hospital I am by the second entrance

Cat: Kaykay

Jade: Thanks Cat

Cat: Do you want me to bring anything

Jade: No its okay

Cat: Kay

Jade: Please just try to hurry

Cat: I am leaving right now jade don't worry. Whatever it is we will get through this.

I put my phone down not wanting her to text and drive.

I breathe a sigh of relief that Cat is coming. She is my best friend and I could really use her right now. Cat might be a little slow once in a while, but she knows how to cheer someone up.

It felt like hours had passed until Cat finally showed up. She was looking like her usual perky self and I love her for that. Cat had a sympathetic look in her eyes as if she already knew what happened because she just brought me into a hug. At first I was stuck and still in disbelief, but found myself guiding my arms onto her back.

"Jade do you want to talk about it." She spoke in the softest voice

"Cat its Tori, she's hurt...really hurt."

Cat perked up and grabbed my hand leading me back into the hospital. She led me to the waiting area and we took a seat. It all just came up again like word vomit and I ended up telling her everything that happened, before and after the accident. Cat was just nodding along placing in 'okays and go on' when needed. She didn't interrupt or judge anything. That's one of the things I love about her.

When I was done she just gave me a hug. She didn't say anything but I knew what she meant with the hug.

I started to drift off to sleep in the waiting room, for a hospital it was some what peaceful.

No ones point of view

Jade and Cat have been at the hospital for about 5 hours and there still has not been any news for how Tori is doing and her parents have not made it inside the hospital yet. Worry has definitely gone through both of their minds but hey are not willing to let it show just yet.

The nurses continue to check on Jade and Cat letting them know they can go home, but they continue to refuse the offer until they get to see Tori. Unfortunately they can not see her until her parents make there way to the hospital.

Tori's mom and dad were both in a conference in New York when the police station notified them of Tori's accident. They decided to get on the next flight back to California which continued to be delayed due to weather in New York.

They are expected to make it back in the next couple of hours.

The doctors continue to do all they can for Tori in her critical condition. She has gone through 2 surgeries while in care. Her parents were able to give their consent over the phone to whatever Tori needed which helped out a lot.

The doors to the hospital slid open and a tall brunette women had walked in. She went up to one of the nurses on duty at the call desk and started to talk to her in a somewhat hushed and frantic voice. They were talking for quite some time until the nurse pointed to Cat and Jade and the women made her way over to the girls.

Jade quickly woke up to the sound of the women coming towards them. She had trained herself to do it all night in case there was any news on Tori. Jade reached over to nudge Cat so they were both awake for whatever news was coming from the women.

She Stuck out her hand to Jade which Jade accepted back.

"Hello you must be Jade, my name is Holly, I am Toris mother." The women did look a lot like Tori especially their shared skin tone.

A little stunned from the exchange Jade quickly answered back, "Oh yes I am jade, its nice to meet you. This is my friend Cat." Cat reached out her hand and the older women took it.

"Its nice to meet you both. I understand you have been waiting for hours for my husband and I to get here and I would like to apologies. I would have been here hours ago if our flight had not been delayed due to the storm."

"its really okay I completely understand."

The twos exchange has been interrupted by a doctor who came by. He walked over to them with a look of empathy for them.

"Hello you must be Mrs. Vega, I am Dr. Kingston and I have some news about your daughter. If you would like we can go somewhere and talk privately."

"No I can assure you whatever you day to me you can share with my daughters girlfriend." Mrs. Vega gave a small nudge to Jade which caused a blush.

"okay, well I have good news and bad news so what would you like to hear first?

"The bad news."

"Well your daughter is a strong fighter which is really going to help her through this. The gun shot did not hit her heart completely but it was one of the vital organs that have been effected by the wound. Her heart is strong, but not strong enough.

We have had to resuscitate her twice because her heart had stopped beating. Once when she was brought in and again during surgery.

Now the heart is not our biggest worry at the moment. She has been out of surgery for about 6 hours now and still has not woken up. That is expected though because of the painkillers and anesthesia given to her. We are expecting for her to be in the ICU for possibly a week so we can continue to monitor her heart. When she is released she will need to wear a heart monitor with her, and this may come to something that she is going to have to live with. Fortunately that may not be the case. For now all we can do is wait and see. I do have some questions regarding your daughters personal lifestyle, but that can be answered later.

Now the good news is that she is very responsive, before the first surgery her body was already fighting and working with the medicine placed into her IV. After the X-ray used to check for broken bones we found that she has broken her tibia, femur, and collar bone along with multiple ribs and fingers.

She is currently in recovery so if you would follow me I can take you to her room I understand that this can be a lot to take in, but the hospital staff will be here to help you with whatever you need. It is our job so please just let us no."

"okay thank you"

The doctor begins to lead all three of them to Toris room.

The hallway is dead silent and appears to keep going on and on with out ending, not like any of them would notice considering they are all still trying to take in all of the information that the doctor had told them before.

Author note: im sorry about the short chapter my SAT prep has taken most of my time so will try to update when I am done with studying this weekend.
