I groggily made my way to the door. Who in the heck could be banging on our door this early? My parents must be working this weekend seeing as they haven't answered the door.

I opened the door, "Brooklyn! Sorry to disturb you but I need a favor!" Mrs. Everheart.

"Um what?" I rubbed my eyes.

She spoke fast and frantically holding a sleeping Cali in her arms, "it's an emergency. I need to leave now!"

"Emergency?" I looked around behind her. The sun hadn't yet come up. That explains my parents.

"Yes please take Cali," tears welled in her eyes.

"Mrs Everheart, what going on?"

She handed me Cali who peacefully snuggled into the crook of my neck, "Grace has been in an accident in Wellspring. I'm leaving now," she started walking away.

Upon the mention of Grace I followed after her, "What? What happened to Grace?"

"Um, Terra called me just said I needed to go down now it's serious!"

I followed Mrs. Everheart inside her house as she frantically rushed round looking for her keys, "I'll accompany you! Here let me drive!" I spot the keys hanging on the hook.

"Oh honey! You don't have to," She pats my shoulder, "I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with your parents."

"It's fine. You can't drive in this state. They will understand," I nod my head, "let's get going."

We went to the garage I buckled Cali in her car seat, and got in the drivers seat. With Mrs. Everheart buckled into the passengers seat we took off.

🤕🤕💔💔😴😴

Hours later we parked in front of Wellspring's hospital.

"I'm hungry," Cali had woken up an hour earlier and was now demanding food.

Mrs. Everheart ignored Cali and hopped out the car running inside. I smiled at the worried mother and turned in my seat to look at Cali, "we'll see what they have in the cafeteria after we check on Grace. I promise."

I took the keys out the engine, got out the car, went to Cali's side and unbuckled her from her car seat. That's when I realized. I never changed. I still had on my pink silky pajamas with my black fluffy slides. Internally groaning we walk inside the hospital with Cali holding onto my hand.

With my free hand I straitened out the pile of hair that lays on top of my head. I wonder which way Mrs. Everheart went?

"Um excuse me, can you tell me which room Grace Everheart is in?" The lady at the desk looked at me up and down.

"Are you Family?"

I mean I have her family. I look down at Cali, "sister. I followed mom here and lost her on the to the room."

The nurse looked down at her computer for a second then back up at me, "Room 414 fourth floor. The elevators are to your left."

"Thank you so much!" Scooping up Cali I rushed towards the elevator before anyone could catch me in my lie.

"Is Gracy alright?" Cali mumbled into my neck with her head down.

"I'm sure Grace is fine," I trailed off. The elevator doors dinged and I walked out still holding Cali. Following the numbers down I stopped in front of 414.

From inside you could raised raised voice. I shook my head and pushed opened the door.

"I'm fine! Nothing is wrong with me!" Grace yelled at her mother? Aunt? I don't even know.

"Your fine?! If you were fine we wouldn't be in a hospital room!" Mrs. Everheart yelled back. I didn't make my presence known and instead crept inside the room.

"Why are you here?" Grace crosses her arms and looked out the window.

"Excuse me?!" Mrs. Everheart raised her voice even more. She walked in front of Grace.

"I'm eighteen. You shouldn't have been called," Grace looked to the side. I didn't know she was eighteen. She's her own adult.

"Your still my responsibility!" Mrs. Everheart pointed s finger at Grace, "like it or not young lady you live under my roof therefore you are not as grown as you think you are!"

A knock on the door brought the two out of their argument, "excuse me. Is now a good time?" A doctor walked in.

"Yes, Sorry Doctor," Mrs. Everheart took the doctors hand in hers.

"Tracy nice to meet you again," the doctor greeted Tracy with a hug, "Yes well seeing that the condition your daughter was brought in we immediately ran some test," the doctor stoped talking and looked around the room. Her eyes landed on me.

"Yes, And is she alright?" Tracy pushed on.

"Physically she's fine. The bullets just truly grazed her took off some skin she'll heal in no time, but that not it. Um, can I talk to you out in the hall?" Tracy nodded her head and followed the doctor out leaving me and Cali still standing.

"Sissy!" Cali reached for her sister so I set her at the end of the hospital bed. Cali's arms connected around her neck in a hug.

"Hey little monster," I starred at the two not knowing how to act. Her eyes traveled over to me.

"Brooke drove us here!" Cali shed some light on the whole situation of me being here.

Grace turned back to her sister, "of course she did."

"Yup, she also said she'd take me down to the cafeteria to get some food," Clair turned back and looked at me.

I scratched the back of my neck, "I guess I did," I laughed nervously.

Cali hopped off the bed, "let's go then!" She yanked on my arm.

"I'll come with y'all," Grace threw the hospital covers off of her and then proceeded to throw her legs over the bed.

"I don't think that's the best idea!"

"Sure it is!" She brushed me off.

Rushing off Cali I went over and helped Grace up despite her protests, "maybe we should get a wheelchair or something?"

"No I'm fine," She all but pushed me away and held on to her IV since it's still connected to her we have to take with us.

I shook my head at her stubbornness and Cali proceeded to open the door. Outside stood Tracy, and the Doctor. Tracy had her back to us as we snuck out the room. The doctor made eye contact, but just shook her head as we walked in the opposite direction to the cafeteria.

Inside the elevator Cali jumped up and down going on and on about an omelet. Apparently she really wanted an omelet. The elevator stopped on the second floor and we all piled out Grace going first. I held onto Cali so we didn't loose her.

The food part of the cafeteria was a circle with different foods in each section. Since it was breakfast however, only the middle part was open. Cali ran over and I ran after her she looked up at the guy cooking with big doey eyes, "I want an omelet, please."

I stood behind her shaking my head.

"Lucky for you little lady, omelets are my specialty!" He winked at her.

A huge smile over took her face.

🥞🥞😁😁❤️❤️

After getting and paying for our plates we took a seat. I sat in front of Cali and Grace sat next to her. Looking over at Grace I could see she was in a distant land. She didn't get much, just a cinnamon swirl bagel, and some fruit.

"Where's Terra?" I asked trying to make conversation.

"She had to go home. Something about her mom was freaking out?"

I nodded my head not know what else to say. She wasn't the easiest person to talk to.

"There you two are!" Trace walked up to the table. She took a seat next to me.

"Why didn't the doctor talk to me?" Grace looked up at her mother.

Tracy sighed, "because it quite a sensitive topic."

"What did she tell you?" Tracy shook her head, "I have a right to know."

Tracy sighed, "whenever you came in last night you were out of it. They said the people who brought you in were tipsy, so they ran a drug test. A fake drug along with several other substances were found in your system, so they pumped your stomach along with doing a race kit."

I looked over at Grace. She said nothing, but something flashed in her eyes. Before Tracy could say anything else she got from the table.

"Grace Wait!" Mrs. Everheart yelled out to her.

Grace didn't turn around. Instead I got up, "I'll follow her."

"Thank you honey. I'm going to have a cup of coffee then go get a hotel room."

I nod my head and ran after Grace. Just in time to I rushed into the elevator before the door shut. She didn't even look up as I stood on the other side of the elevator.

I followed her all the back to her room where she just threw herself on the bed and bursted into tears. Not knowing what to do I walked over and rubber her back.

She sat up and starred at me with red puffy eyes. I thought she was going to yelling at me, but she did the exact opposite. Grace hugged me and bawled into my chest.

This time I was the one comforting her.
