A://N You can all thank @Lexi_Pritch because she texted me a MILLION TIMES saying 'UPDATE'.

Chapter 44- Droopy Eyes and Sleep Deprived.

<^> River Lockwood <^>

Damn it, Tatum! Where are you?!

I slammed on the bars of the cell.

I have been beaten up so much today I'm surprised I'm alive.

A cop came up to me and said "Someone has bailed you out".

Thank God!

He unlocked it and I walked out and they gave my clothes back

I quickly got changed and saw my mom.

I froze.

Are you f*cking serious Tatum?!?!

"River" She ran up and hugged me.

I hugged her "Hey mom".

She pulled away and sniffled as tears pricked her eyes "You're grounded for months when you get home"!

I groaned "Jail was punishment enough".

"River" She warned.

"Okay, but did Tatum tell you"? I asked.

She frowned "River......Tatum is in the hospital".

"What?!? Why?!?" I asked worried.

"She was hit by a drunk driver on her way here" My mom said tears pricking her eyes.

"We have to get to the hospital! Now"! I exclaimed.

She nodded "Alright".
*******************
I ran inside the hospital frantic.

Everyone's head shot up to me.

Their eyes widened.

"O my God"! Beth said and Luke, her , and Jake all hugged me.

"Where's Tatum"?! I asked.

Mrs. Crawford came over to me "In surgery, she was hit hard".

My heart broke at the sound of that.

She got hurt again, BECAUSE OF ME!!

If I didn't ask her to come she wouldn't of gotten hit!

I rubbed my face "Is she okay"?

Mark said "Were not sure yet".

"She'll stay strong, we know she will" Gwen said.

I nodded and slumped down in a seat.

"Want to tell us why you went to jail"? Jake asked.

"I was drunk and robbed a store" I said "And had a gun out".

"Stop getting drunk" James said.

"I will once Tatum, stops getting mad at me" I muttered.

"Hey! You're the one that flipped out on her!" Holly said.

"Yeah I know" I said.

********************
I rubbed my face and shook my leg up and down as I waited for something on Tatum.

"River, hun maybe you should go home and sleep. Its 1 am and shes still in surgery" Mrs. Crawford said.

I shook my head "No, I can't leave".

She sighed and sat down in the chair next mine "River I know you love her, but she's going to need time to adjust after all of this".

I raised an eyebrow.
