Love; Hidden

Chapter Eight

Vivian's eyes opened... because she thought the impact would come sooner... right? But no, she wasn't falling anymore, she was dangling, her hand tightly gripping a familiar hand. When she regained focus, she realizes that she was staring at her bleeding, crying savior. Edith had caught her, but she too was way over the railing, so, Athena caught Edith. The weight was heavy, so Raven caught Athena. It was a line, a human line. Athena held Edith's ankles, Raven held Athena's legs along with Nick and Martha.

"Edith..." Vivian's voice was barely a whisper.

The crowd below them stood there in utter shock.

"Vivian..." Edith breathed.

"Let me go..."

"I'm not letting you go! Are you fucking crazy!? How could I ever let you go!"

"You did once..."

"I..."

Martha, Raven, and Nick pulled as Alice watched worriedly for once, she was on the phone with the police now.

"Fuck! Pull!!" Athena yelled.

"PULL!" Raven screamed as they pulled the heavy weights of humans.

They kept pulling the two girls up and up until they finally got them back onto the porch, away from the railing. All Edith did was hug Vivian into her lap, crying and soaking her dress with her blood. Vivian cried as well, clutching Edith's tuxedo. Everyone else was out of breath, panting and crying at the fact that they almost lost someone dear to them. Even Nick shed a phew tears... Alice looked at the two, Edith giving her a glare so powerful, it could cause the whole world to go silent. But she glared with her glass eye which made it even scarier for Alice. For the first time... she felt remorse... and guilty.

It took a while to calm everyone down. Edith and Vivian went to the hospital, along with Martha, Athena, and Raven for support. Nick and Alice stayed behind to think... the fans followed the ambulance all the way to the nearest emergency room. Edith had to get stitches.

"It's good that you got here in time... you have a bit of a concussion, but you lost a lot of blood." The doctor informed Edith.

"I don't give a shit. Is Vivian alright? Is she safe?" Edith asked with a raspy voice.

The doctor nodded, "She is being sent to behavioral health facility...where she will be kept there for a couple of days to maybe two weeks."

"...fuck"

"She's in good hands. And she'll be fine."

The doctor smiled warmly and left, leaving Edith with Martha and Raven, Athena was with Vivian.

"shit..." Edith whispered.

Martha began to cry, "I...I'm so sorry Edith... I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything. I wish I have more power-"

"You're only crying because we almost lost Vivian. This whole shit could've been prevented." Raven mumbled angrily, "We should've followed her... or some shit! This... this is so fucked..."

"Raven... it's okay. Don't blame yourself, Martha. Raven is right that this all could've been prevented if it weren't for Alice... she's to blame for all of this."

Raven sat down and sighed, "What the hell are we gonna do now...? How can we continue without Vivian."

"It's simple... we won't. We'll just wait for her..." Edith looked down.
