chapter 12
"come on Abi can't you go a little quicker…" Joey moaned impatiently as Abi fiddled with the key in the lock. As soon as it was open he was up the stairs banging on the door he knew was hers.
"Lauren, Lauren, it's me, Joey, can you hear me?" he asked through her door "she's not answering…" he sighed defeated, turning to face Abi.
"Do something, please" Abi begged as she stood at the top of the stairs, Lauren would usually answer if anyone spoke to her, she craved the conversation.
"Lauren, if you can hear me, move away from the door, babe… I'm going to get you out" he proclaimed.
Glancing at Abi, he began to kick at the door, the door flying open a couple of minutes later. Hurrying into the room, they were shocked by the sight that greeted them. Lauren collapsed on the floor. Joey moved quickly across to her, his heart breaking at the way she looked, she didn't look like the Lauren he knew .
"Abs, call an ambulance" proclaimed
Doing as she said, she pulled her phone out and dialled 999.
"Come on, baby, stay with me" he begged as he cradled Laurens lifeless body "come on Lauren… Don't do this to me"
"Is she gonna be okay, Joey?" Abi asked, biting at her thumbnail nervously as she watched Joey checking her over. She gasped her eyes looking at the bits of broken cup on the floor. "has she cut her self or taken anything ?"
"no…i dont think so, no she hasn't" he replied releasing a breath in relief
"will she be ok?"
"Of course will" he replied, smiling at her warmly "she's my brave, beautiful Lauren"
The ambulance arrived a few minutes later, Abi leading the paramedics in and up the stairs to see to Lauren. Moving her onto a stretcher after examining her, she and Joey followed as Lauren was taken to the ambulance. The scene had drawn quite a crowd on the square but Abi and Joey were oblivious, their focus solely on Lauren.
"Everything's going to be fine…I promise" Joey nodded reassuringly, praying to god Lauren hadn't relapses. He gave Abi a soft smile as the ambulance made its way to the hospital, sirens and lights going in tandem.
Ahh poor Lauren ! She hasn't done anything as far as Joey can see but who knows ...one more later on keep reviewing people ! Xxx
