(12) Love on Lockdown, Everything on Hold
MITCH
"Scott, our baby's in there. Chemicals in her system, scars on her wrist. What did we do wrong?"
"I don't know Mitchie. I don't know." Gabi jogs up to us and sits beside me.
"What happened to Cassy?"
"She tried to commit suicide. Way too touchy to explain." Scott says. Gabi nods and soon enough Maddie, Jordyn, Kirstie, Jeremy, Avi and Kevin walk in.
"So... Now what?" Avi asks.
"We don't know. We really don't." The doctor comes out and smiles sympathetically at us.
"So, we have updates on her health. Are you all family?"
"Scott and I are her fathers, Kirstie Avi Kevin and Jeremy are her aunt and uncles, Logan is her boyfriend and Gabi Maddie and Jordyn are her best friends but they have that sister bond."
"Any biological family?"
"She has a biological twin sister in the United Kingdom." As if on cue, Santina runs up to all of us.
"I got the news when I was about to get on my plane. Lucky me they gave me a refund of my ticket since it was a family emergency. So what's going on with my twin? Will she be okay?"
"That's the thing. Luckily the rope didn't tighten or stop any breathing because she stepped off a way where nothing happened to her breathing. As for the bleach, we had to pump her stomach to get it out. But some of the chemicals have abosorbed into her body."
"Get to the point you old hag!" Logan yells.
"Logan! Calm your ass! I get that you're upset about your girlfriend trying to commit suicide, but this man is one of the few people who could save her you twit!" Kevin yells.
"Sorry, miss." Logan apologizes to the doctor.
"Quite alright. I did that many times as a kid. Anyways, you aren't exactly going to like what I'm about to tell you."
"What happened to my daughter?" I whisper.
"She slipped into a coma. It will take a while for her to wake up."
"How long?" Scott asks, tears streaming down his face.
"At the least..."
"Six months to a year."

"YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Santina yells. The girls stand there in shock and Avi walks out of the hospital. Kevin takes deep breaths and Scott buries his head in my neck since we're sitting.
"My baby girl..." Santina punches the wall repeatedly, the tears and her blonde hair flying.
Logan, on the other hand, um... Wait, where did he go?
"FUCK!" I hear from outside the hospital.
Found him.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Jeremy asks, rubbing his fiancee"s back to calm her tears.
"All you can do is wait. Visits will be available daily and one of you can spend the night every night once it's close to the time she'll wake up. We will call all your phones if we get any updates on her heartbeat or anything like that. You can all go visit her now, we put her in a big room since there's eleven of you."
"So.... We have to wait half a year at the minimum to see our daughter's eyes again? To hear her voice?" I ask.
"I guess so honey. Looks like love is on lockdown, and everything is on hold."
