*Dan POV*

I watched how her body hit stair after stair all the way down to the bottom. I couldn’t believe everything that had happened so quickly. I pushed Amy out the way practicing flying down the stairs to an unconscious Liv on the floor.

“Luke ring 999.” I screamed and he ran into my room grabbing my phone.

“Oh my god.” I heard Amy cry

“You fucking bitch.” Evie screamed smacking Amy across the face before running down to me and Liv.

“What’s going on?” Andy asked coming up the stairs “Oh my god Liv.”

“Andy, keep Amy and Lindsay upstairs, the police will want to speak with them.” Evie cried and Andy took them into the bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

“Come on baby, wake up.” I cried stroking her beautiful tear stained face.

I moved my hand from behind her head, it was wet. I looked at the blood on my hand and then at Evie.

“She has to be okay.”

“She’s a fighter Dan.” Evie cried clutching at her sisters hand “But something isn’t right.”

“What do you mean?” I asked

“I can feel it, something isn’t right.”

“Where the hell is this ambulance?”’ I shouted

“It’s on its way Dan.” Luke replied running down the stairs.

“Baby, wake up please. I’m so sorry.”

“I can’t lose her Evie, I just can’t.” I cry looking at her.

Her eyes glimmering with tears, “You should have believed her Dan. You should have…you should have trusted her.”

“I know.” I reply before turning my head back towards her “I’m so sorry baby girl, I am. Tink please don’t leave me.”

*knock knock*

One of the boys must have opened the door as two paramedic’s came running up the stairs.

“What happened?” one asked, crouching down beside Liv

“She was pushed down the stairs.” Evie replied angrily

“By who?” the other asked as the first one checked Liv’s vitals.

“My ex, she’s still upstairs.” I replied still holding onto Liv’s hand

“The police will want to speak to her.” The second replied,

“She has a pulse but it’s weak and her breathing is very shallow. We need to get her to the hospital now.”

“She has a laceration on the back of her head” the other paramedic says before checking the rest of her body as the first one ran downstairs. “She’s bleeding as well”

“I know from her head” I say as the first paramedic ran back upstairs.

“No, from between her legs, she may have pulled something internally”

“Oh my god” Evie cried gripping onto Luke.

I watched as they placed her on a spinal board and strapped her head in place as they didn’t know what damage she might have done to her spine.

“Can I come with her?” I asked the paramedic

“I want to go with her.” Evie snapped, “She is my twin after all.”

“One person only and you need to choose now” the paramedic says looking at us.

Evie pushed past me and got into the ambulance as the paramedic shut the door behind him as the other got in the driver’s seat.

“I’ll wait for the police to get here to speak to Amy before coming the hospital. Take a taxi.” Luke says.

“I need to get there now.” I shouted at him looking for my car keys.

“Dan...DAN.” Luke shouted grabbing my arms, making me look at him. “You’ve been drinking, you can’t drive.”

I sighed and agreed with him, I would only make matters worse. I rang a taxi and it was here within minutes just as the police car arrived. I left Luke to sort the boys out and explain everything to the police as I rushed to the hospital.

I needed her to be okay, she was my everything. Why didn’t I believe her?

Why did I even doubt her for a second?

“Mate can’t you drive faster?”

“I’m going the speed limit.” He replied

I sat back and waited for him to get there, hoping...praying my girl was okay. I couldn’t lose her.

I just couldn’t.

*Evie’s POV*

I held onto Liv’s hand all the way to the hospital.

“Come on Livvy, you can’t leave me.” I whisper, tears falling from my eyes “You have to get through this.”

I stroked my thumb over her hand, “Come on, I need you. We swore we would be old ladies racing each other down the corridors of the granny home in our wheel chairs. I can’t do that without my sister.”

*beep beep*

“Her heart rate isn’t very stable. We need to get her to the hospital fast.” The paramedic sat next to me shouts to the one driving causing me to panic even more.

I saw her eye lids flutter open and I leant over her, “Liv.” I cry

“It hurts.” She cried clutching at her stomach, at almost a whisper

“You’ll be fine Liv, I promise.”

“I love you.” She mumbled her eye lids closing again

“Liv, no wake up.” I shouted. “What’s going on?”

“She’s had a nasty bang to her head...” the paramedic began, “She’s slipping in and out of consciousness.”

“Will she be okay?”

“We hope so, the doctors will be able to take care of her.” He smiled hopefully

I watched her hand fall to her stomach and I placed mine on top of mine. I could tell something wasn’t right with her but I didn’t know what. I swear when I get my hands on Amy I am going to kill her myself.

I felt the ambulance stop and seconds later the doors opened. The paramedic helped me get down carefully before pulling Liv on the stretcher out. I followed behind them as she got wheeled into a private room.

“On my count.” The paramedic says and the nurses nod

“One, Two Three.” He says and they lift Liv off the stretcher onto a hospital bed, her head still taped still.

“We need to examine her injuries can you sign her in please?” the nurse asked me and I nodded.

I quickly walked through to the reception and spoke to the receptionist, giving in all Liv’s details. I was about to walk back to her when I saw Dan run in.

“Where is she? Is she okay?” he panted, out of breath

“I don’t know Dan.” I replied turning on my heels and walking to her room, knowing that he will follow. I didn’t want to be arsy with him at the moment because I know he’s hurting so badly over Liv but he caused this to happen. He didn’t believe my sister, his best friend, his girl friend.

I knocked on her door and a nurse opened it allowing me and Dan to come in. She was lay in the bed completely still, just the gentle sound of the machines beeping away. She had a drip in her arm and those sticky pads attached to her chest to monitor her heartbeat. Once again her hand was lay across her stomach whilst her chest slowly raised and fell.

“I just need to clean her head wound.” The nurse smiled at us

“Is everything okay?” Dan asked anxiously

“Well she hasn’t done any damage to her spine as she tried sitting up a minute ago before going back unconscious.”

“Oh that’s good.” I say sitting down on the chair beside her bed, taking her hand in mine.

“We’ve taken bloods as well, make sure everything is okay.”

“Is she going to wake up?” I ask

“She’s going for a CT scan in the morning if she doesn’t fully gain consciousness over the next couple of hours.”

“Okay.” Dan sighed

“Where’s Luke?” I ask

“Coming after the police have arrested Amy.” He replied but not taking his eyes from Liv.

I watched as the nurse cleaned up Liv’s head wound before gluing her head together.

“It’s not a deep wound, but this is easier than stitches, I would have to shave some of her head for that.”

“‘She wouldn’t be too impressed with that.” I giggle and see Dan chuckle slightly, still watching her intently.

“Do they know why she was bleeding…down below yet?” Dan asks the nurse, oh god I’d forgotten about that.

“Not yet, she’s still bleeding. We’ve sent her bloods off, they should be back soon. Another nurse will be in here soon to do an examination”

“Okay thank you” I say smiling slightly at the nurse.

“I need her to wake up Evie; I need her to forgive me.” He whispered, tiny tears slipping down his cheeks.

“You’ve hurt her Dan, I’ve never seen pain in her eyes like that before. I don’t know if she will.”
