I still don't own the characters or the show. This is the second part, still don't think its very good but I thought I may as well upload what I had already done, thank you to those who reviewed

Gillian POV

They say time flies when you're having fun and they say it goes slow when you're bored but what they, whoever they is, fail to mention is what happens to time when you're scared. Just two hours have passed since I got to Caroline's house, it's been 90 minutes since the ambulance arrived to bring us to the hospital and 60 minutes since our family was called and time has been going in slow motion the entire time but it also seems to have gone faster than the entire day so far.

'Miss, you can go in now, she's awake' the nurse dealing with Caroline said as she walked past me.

'Thank you' I said as I rose preparing myself to ask the questions I have been dying to ask for the past two hours. As I entered the room I saw Caroline lying in her bed looking smaller and more fragile than ever before and I had to take a deep breathe to prevent the tears threatening to fall. 'Caroline, why did you do this? You don't have to tell me but, but why?' I whispered to her as I sat next to her taking her now bandaged hand in mine.

'I went to the doctors yesterday and found out I was ill, so I was already really scared when I got home, then John was there …' Caroline began and I couldn't stop the roll of my eyes when John's name came up, of course he had something to do with it the pretentious idiot that he is. '… he said that Kate was only with me because it would help her career and as soon as she got what she wanted or life with me got hard she'd be gone. He said she wouldn't stay long enough for me to screw Lexie up like I did William and Lawrence' she stopped as the tears began to fall once again.

'Caroline, Kate loves you she would never leave you, she knows how much you love Lexie, you have NOT screwed either of your sons up, they are kind, intelligent, happy boys who love you so much and Lexie, well with mothers like you and Kate she will grow up to be just as amazing as your boys have. If anyone screwed up anything in the boy's lives it was John not you' I spoke calmly in a way that I hoped would calm her down.

'I know that he was speaking rubbish now, I do' she said in a way that was so much more confident than before ' but yesterday on top of everything else, it was just too much, I never meant to cut my wrist so deep, I wasn't trying to … you know … I wasn't. I just wanted to feel something because I had gone numb, it used to help in college but, but it didn't and now you're all going to think I am pathetic and useless -' 'no one thinks you're pathetic or useless' I interjected knowing she had more to say but desperate for her to know that. She continued 'I didn't want to die, I don't want to die, that was what made me numb enough to do something that almost killed me, I don't want to die' she whispered almost laughing whilst I sat there more confused than I was before 'I almost died because I couldn't cope with the idea that I might die, it's almost ironic really. I have a life threatening illness I don't want to die from and I almost killed myself' Caroline sobbed the last part so much I almost didn't hear her and I was pleading in my head that I had heard her wrong.

'What?!' the pained cry from Celia snapped both me and Caroline out of our little bubble.

Celia POV

It was four thirty and I was sat with Alan, Raff, Robbie, Ellie and the baby in Gillian's house when my phone started ringing, I don't know why but the minute I saw Gillian's name come up I had a feeling of dread. 'Hello dear, whatever is wrong? I said panicking slightly at the sound of her crying, almost sobbing into the phone. 'Celia, it's Caroline, I, I found her in the h-house, she'd slit her wrists, she, we, we're going to the h-hospital in Harrogate, she's lost a lot of b-b-blood, please, please come now, Kate's on her way but, but she's an hour away, so are the boys, please you have to come, now' she begged. 'I'm on my way' I said firmly to try and calm her down before I hung up the phone, everyone in the room was now looking towards me for answers.

'We have to get to Harrogate now, Caroline, she's, she's hurt, badly' I sobbed falling into Alan's arms. We got to the hospital at six because of the traffic and when we got there we saw Kate and the kids all running towards the hospital too, she must have stopped to pick the boys up on the way.

We all went to through the hospital towards Caroline's room and we were just about to enter the room when we heard 'I have a life threatening illness I don't want to die from and I almost killed myself'

'What?!' I exclaimed as pain and fear filled my core, my poor child sounded in so much pain and she looked equally as fragile. My poor little girl.
