"call 911" "call 911" "call 911" I heard so many different voices yell but I was still on my knees doing nothing. I was doing nothing to help the person that was the only family I had, I felt to weak, I felt too numb and then I passed out.

my eyes opened to see white, where was I? and just then everything came rushing back to my mind. I got up too fast just to realise my head felt the size of a football. "uggghhhh" I groaned, I got up anyway and ran outside. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Caroline sitting just outside "where's Alice?"

"she is gonna be okay, stop crying" I said and ran towards the ICU tears already flowing.

"she is critical right now but she is gonna be perfectly fine" the doctor said after giving a detailed description of how much she had been hurt. I left room in silence, while they discussed something further. Once out, I leaned against the wall opposite to the door and slowly sunk down. I hugged my knees and closed my eyes.
