I couldn't take it anymore; I thrashed against the door and pushed it open to reveal Callie sobbing on the floor hunched over with her head in her hands, leaning against the bed gasping for air. "Cals, Callie, Callie it's ok, sshh... everything will be okay" I whispered panicking as I ran to her side and wrapped her in my arms as tight as I could as she sobbed and threw her arms around me.
"I-I c-can't do this!" she cried as her whole body shook with fear.
"What, what Callie? What can't you do!?" I whispered soothingly but inside I was freaking out! I mean I have no clue what the hell is going on.
"I just can't" she shrieked as she gripped me even tighter.
"It's fine I'm here, I'll protect you!" I whispered frantically as she hastily pulled one hand away as if I was lava burning her skin away and gripped her stomach. "Callie! Callie calm down! Just breathe!" I shouted as she been to hyperventilate.
"I can't Brandon! It's, I-it's too h-hard!" Callie sobbed as her hand moved to clutch her chest.
"Help me!" I screeched as I saw everyone gather in the doorway.
"Someone get Jude out of here!" Stef screeched as she ran beside Callie and I. Mariana gasped and then scurried out of the room with Jude in toe.
"H-Help me, wh-what do I d-d-do?" Callie whispered as her breathing became more raged and her body began to sway slightly.
"Just breathe baby" I cried as I held her in my arms tighter.
"Lena, Call 911; hurry!" Stef screeched and as she ran her hand over the deep cut on her forehead as Jesus hurried across the hall to get some water for her. I quickly diverted my vision to where the door had been thrashed against the wall and saw Jude crying his eyes out leaning against the wall whilst Mariana tried to console him.
"What the hell happened Brandon?" my mum asked in panic as Jesus ran back into the room.
"I-I don't know I heard her on the phone having an argument and then I heard her start to cry and then I came in and she was like this!" I cried as I grabbed Callie's hand and kissed it repeatedly.
"Here drink this sweetie" Mum whispered hurriedly as she placed the glass to Callie's lips.
"Just stay awake Callie! You just have to!" I cried as I wrapped my arms around her once again.
"Why?" Callie cried as her head rolled down onto my lap.
"Don't be stupid Callie you need to stay awake!" I cried frantically as I pulled her head back up to my chest.
"I want to but ... but it's too hard, I'm tired" Callie whispered as her grip began to loosen on me.
"No! Don't do this to me! I need you!" I screamed shaking her to make sure she stayed awake. "What the hell happened?" I cried as kissed her hair line over and over again hoping it would somehow make everything better.
"They called me" Callie replied as her breathing began to get worse.
"Who's they?" I sobbed as she lay in my arms getting weaker by the second.
"They!" she cried hysterically as she grabbed onto the sleeve of my shirt as if she was clutching on for dear life.
"Brandon, I don't like it!" Callie cried as her eyes began to open and close occasionally, as is she was drifting out of consciousness.
"I'm here baby, I'm here don't worry nothing bad will happen."
"What's wrong with me?" Callie whispered as she let the tears run down her face freely. I'm scared, she hasn't shown any emotion, she's never cried and then this happens! I'm terrified.
"I don't know baby the ambulance will be here soon" I cried as I readjusted her on my lap.
"Brandon?" Callie asked weekly as she tried to talk in between her panting trying to get her breath.
"Yes?" I asked in panic scared she was going to give up on me, she couldn't do that! She just couldn't.
"Just please don't let me go" she said as her breathing became irregular and heavy again.
"I won't ... I promise" I sobbed as I struggled to compose myself.
"Oh god, Brandon your hands and your shirt are covered in blood!" Jesus screeched as he wiped away the tears in his eyes. I hurriedly looked down to see the side of Callie's stomach with a gash sown the side of it.
"Quick someone get something to apply pressure!" I shouted to the people surrounding me trying to help in any way they could.
"Just hold baby" I whispered as I shook her limp body to try and get her to stay awake. "No no no no! Callie don't do this to me, stay awake!" I cried as she shut her eyes again.
"Brandon it's ok, she's got a good pulse, she's fine, she will be ok, the ambulance will be here soon" Lena whispered as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders.
"What's wrong with her Lena, how could this even happen?" I cried as I let my head fall in the crook of her neck still holding Callie in my embrace.
"I don't know baby" she whispered as she sat beside me and cried.
"The ambulance is here!" Jesus shrieked as he jolted up and ran downstairs and out the door to the loud sirens and colourful flashing lights that approached us. I turned behind me to see Jude in the hall in a state as he and Mariana both comforted each other. I know how hard this is for me so I have no idea how he must be feeling right now.
"What state is she in?" A paramedic asked as he charged into the room.
"Unconscious but breathing" I cried as he took Callie out of my lap and placed her on a stretcher.
"One of you can ride in the ambulance however the rest of you will have to meet us at the hospital" the paramedic informed us as she quickly pushed Callie out of the room.
"I'll go" I shouted without even a moment of thought and began to follow.
"Um Brandon, I don't know an adult should go with her" Mum said hurriedly as she began follow as well.
"Mum please, just let me do this! I promised I would never leave her and I was the one who found her" I pleaded as I threw my arms around her neck crying.
"Go" my mum demanded as she rounded up everyone else to go to the hospital quickly. I quickly raced into the ambulance as another paramedic slammed the door behind me.
"What happened bud?" The slender but muscular paramedic before me asked.
"I don't know, one minute she was on the phone arguing and then the next minute she was crying and then I found her like this.
"Are you sure she was on the phone? She was definitely alone?" he questioned me as he went over to check the cuts on various places of Callie's body.
"I'm sure" I whispered scared to think of the idea that somebody could have done this to her. They couldn't of, I mean I wasn't gone long enough for someone to sneak in. I looked up in haste to see the machines going wild and Callie's body go into a twitch as her breathing became ragged again.
"What's happening? Help her!" I pleaded as I grasped her hand tighter clutching it to my chest.
