Emily
I punshed against the door but no one opened it. I still heard Mrs Mc Cullers screaming inside. Why was no one opening? I started running around the house. There has to be an open window or door. After five minutes search I finally found a window. I didn't care how it would look like when I went through it and jumped into the house and ran up the stairs. Paige's mum was standing in the bathroom. Her face was full of fear as she looked down on the ground. I didn't need to look twice I knew what I was there. Paige was lying on the floor wrapped in her towel. Her hair was soaked with blood. It looked like she slipped , fell and hit her head on the edge of the shower. This picture looked very similar to me. "PAIGE" I screamed and ran to her .Her head was full of blood as I looked to her mum "Someone needs to call the ambulance please. " Tears were running down my face. Why isn't she moving? "Would you fucking call the ambulance or would you rather seeing your daughter bleeding to death?" she starred at me shocked about the way I talked to her but finally dealed the number. I took my shirt off. I didn't care that her mum was in the room. I soaked it with water, wrapped it around Paiges head and pressed it on the injury. " Get a pillow or something " I shouted. She still didn't move. Mr. McCuller ran upstairs surprised to see me with a first aid kit in his hand. " He joined me and said: Move her head on your knees. " I did without asking any further questions. The blood was literally streaming down her face. "Paige please" I said "Please stay with me . I need you. You can't do that to me. " I cried. This was the most horrible moment in my life so far.
They took her away from me.
Paige's dad hold me in his arms as I watched them taking her downstairs to the emergency car. My whole body was shaking. What was happening here? Yesterday Spencer and today Paige... What is A planning next?
"Emily?" I heared him saying. He never said my name. I always was Miss Fields or that gay girl in the swimmingteam who stole his daughters place. But just now I was the girl who cried in his arms. "Thank you" he whispered.
I don't know why but I felt so safe in his arms. He pressed me on his chest as my dad used to do it.
After some minutes I calmed down a bit. Paiges dad was leaving the room and came back with one of Paige's shirt because I was just wearing a bra. I looked at His wife who was still standing at the same spot as she did when I came in. She obviously had a shock. He helped me getting up. "Come I take you into the hospital" I snobbed and smiled at him thankfully.
We didn't say a word on the way to the hospital. I saw the worst things in front of my eyes.
an hour ago
I was drinking my coffee and were talking about Spencer application to the best university Americas when the text message came in.

Draft: picture.
I remembered opening the picture message and my breath stopping as I saw the drawing of the girl on the ground in the bathroom. It was the same picture I got some months ago the only thing what changed was the girl. It wasnt me anymore this time it was Paige.
I dont know how I made it into the waiting room. For me the time stood still. It all seemed to be a dream. A nightmare. I heared people talking to me but I didn't answer. I was reading the last text Paige sent me. It was from the time she came back from New York.
Just arrived on the airport. Cant wait to see my beautiful girlfriend.
I love you so much

Paige
Tears were running down my face as I read it all over again. This cant be the end. It just cant.
Doctors were running around. Nurses were talking to other family members who were waiting for diagnosis or their kids.
But no one came talking to us. This continued for the next two hours. I could see Paiges dad getting inpatient. "Please can you tell me how my daughter is? " he kept asking the nurse but no one could give an answer. It was like she wasnt in the hospital at all. After 3 hours a doctor finally came and took Mr. Mc Cullers to his site. They were talking quiet so I couldnt understand a word. He looked at me again and again while he was listening to the doctor.
"Emily?" he finally said and made his way to me. I looked up "How is she? " "She is sleepying at the moment." he answered. His voice was nearly gone. And he was trying to stay strong. "She lost a lot of blood. They are just stabilising her. They dont know if she will be fine. It ... " he took a deep breath" it depends on the next hours."
18:00
I was walking around. Actually I walked the corridor up and down again and again. I didnt touch the food got me. The girls have been here for some hours but couldnt stay for long. Aria had a meeting with Ezras parents. Hanna had to get her mum from work and Spencer was still weak from her accident yesterday.
"Emily?" I suddenly heared my mum saying. I turned around and ran into her arms as soon as I could see her."Mum. What are you doing here?" I sniffed and immediately started crying again. She pressed me on her chest and stroke over my hair. "Paiges dad called me are you alright darling?" I shoke my head and started crying again.
21:00
In opened my eyes and looked at the white railing above me. Paige I thought and got up quickly. Where is she? Was she okay?
I checked the time. Did I fall asleep?
"Hey you are awake?!. My mum was walking into the waitingarea with two cups of coffee. Extra strong I guessed. "How is she?" I looked at her. "She is fine just now. The doctors could stabilise her but we still dont know if it will stay like that. " I looked at her " Mum I need to go to her. She needs me..Please" " Oh darling. I dont think you can. Only family members are allowed to visit her at the moment. " She took my arm and pulled me back to one of the chairs next to her. "She will be fine. Please dont worry too much." " But..." I started" mum I love her so much. She means everything to me. I dont know if I can live without her." Tears filled my eyes again as Mr McCullers came back into the room and said: "Emily. I think I need your help."
What are thinking about the story so far? Will Paige make it? Or did A manage to takw her out of Ems life? Figure it out in the next part which will be published TOMORROW.
