CAMBIAS P.O.V

Cody and Bethany are in ICU. Bethany is worse off than Cody considering that she actually got burnt. The doctors say they could make it but by the way they say it we know there is basically no way. My mom and Shayla are visiting them. I was also allowed to but I just couldn't. I sat next to Josh squeezing his hand trying not to cry...again. Danny was in tears along with Kelsey. Kameron stayed home and watched Trevor for Alecks and Austin who didnt seem too affected. Maxx hasnt opened his eyes since he's sat down, I guess he just wants this all to be a dream. Ashely sat quietly staring at a wall. Zach had to go outside and get some air. Marshall kept taking deep breaths, I guess he was trying to keep the tears in. No one spoke a single word until my mom came back in.

"How are they?" Josh asked. My mom just shook her head. "They took Shayla to see Bethany but Cody is still in a coma." she choked out then went into tears. I stood up and held her close as I cried with her. I heard Danny sobbing like crazy and it made me cry even harder. I looked over and tears had finally rolled down Marshalls cheeks, and Maxx had finally opened his eyes. They were blood shot and red, full of fear and sadness. I liked him better when his eyes were closed.

A half an hour later Shayla came out in tears. "How is everything?" Ashely asked but Shayla just kept walking. Kelsey and Marshall went after. I held my mom who had fallen asleep in my lap from crying so hard. It hurts to see everybody like this, its just not the same. Everything seems wrong.
