Tina walked into the waiting room Andrew jumped up hugging Tina.
“Is she okay? What happened?” Andrew asked
Tina couldn’t speak
“Tina is she okay?”
“She’s on a ventilator her parents are dead” Tina managed to get out
“Oh my god” Andrew sat back down covering his mouth “She’s going to make it right?”
Tina sat down beside him “I don’t know”
“I spoke to her yesterday morning; she was going for dinner with her parents”
Bette and Jess walked into the waiting room
“They’re doing some tests” Bette said
Andrew got up hugging Jess
“Andrew her parents are dead, how the hell do I tell her that” Jess said
“Don’t worry about that just now, let’s just worry about Carmen waking up” Andrew said
“She is going to wake up right?” Jess asked
“Course she is” Andrew said
“I just need some air” Jess said walking outside
Jess leaned against the wall, she took out her phone dialing Lisa’s number
“Jess you okay? How is she?”
“She’s not so good Lis, Her parents are dead, I need to tell her that her parents are dead”
“Oh my god, do you want me to come?”
“You need to look after Mason”
“Jace can do that, do you need me Jess?”
“Yes” Jess managed to get out
“Ok let me go book a flight I’ll be on the next one out their”

A week later…
“Hey you it’s Lisa” Lisa said sitting down and taking Carmen’s hand “Don’t you think you’ve had enough sleep? I’ve never seen Jess as quiet in all my life, She’s in a daze Carmen I think you need to wake up to sort her out, Andrew’s not much better…No-one knows what to do or say, so I’ve decided I’m just going to be normal, you probably can’t hear me…or you can and think when will she shut up? Well the answer to that is, when you wake up”
The nurse laughed at Lisa
“My parents are messed up over this, you’re like a daughter to them so they don’t know how to deal with this, I should have dragged your ass back home when you left, I was just pissed that you lied to Jess and I didn’t like my sister hurting, Carmen she needs you more than you realise, I don’t know how much more she can take before she breaks”
Jess walked into the room causing Lisa to shut up
“Hey you where’s Mum and Mama?”
“I sent them to the hotel to get sleep, no point us all being tired” Jess said “Hey beautiful” Jess kissed Carmen on the head before sitting and taking Carmen’s other hand. “Everyone back home sends their love, they all miss you…I miss you”
Carmen gently squeezed Jess’s hand
“Lisa she just squeezed my hand” Jess said jumping up
“Should I buzz the Dr” Lisa asked
Jess nodded, Lisa got up and buzzed
The doctor came in the room with a nurse
“She squeezed my hand” Jess said
The doctor rushed over shinning her light in both eyes,
“Carmen hello I’m doctor Ewan if you can hear me can you squeeze my finger”
“Yeah she’s responsive okay, let’s get the tubes out please and get some morphine into her”
“Jess keep talking to her, she seems to like your voice”
“What do I say?” Jess asked
“Whatever you want” The doctor smiled
“Babe they’re taking tubes out, and they’re given you something to help you feel better…I’m here so is Lisa so you don’t need to worry about anything or be scared we won’t let them hurt you…”
“Ok Carmen just breath and relax there’s nothing to worry about, your doing brilliant” The Doctor said “if you could just squeeze my finger again that be great”
“Anything?” Lisa asked
“Not anymore, she’s still in a semi-conscious state so she will daze in and out of conscious, that’s perfectly normal” The doctor smiled “I suggest you get some sleep yourself”
“I’m fine, I’m not tired” Jess said
“Liar” Lisa smirked
“I’m fine”
“Ok” The doctor smiled “Buzz if you need anything”
“She’s going to flip when she sees her hair” Lisa smiled
“She’s beautiful, her hair doesn’t matter” Jess replied
“We only shaved a little” the doctor said
“You could have shaved it all she’d still be the most beautiful person on this planet” Jess stated
The doctor smiled before leaving the room.
Andrew knocked on the door before coming in.
“hey how is she?”
“She’s semi-conscious” Jess said “She squeezed my hand”
“Way to go Carmen you haven’t seen Jess in a month and the best you can do is squeeze her hand” Andrew said kissing the top of Carmen’s head
“I need some air, Lisa can you stay with her?”
“Course I will”
Jess walked out the room
“My sister is a mess” Lisa said “I’ve never seen her like this”
“I know” Andrew agreed “I’ve not seen her cry or anything”
“She hasn’t” Lisa explained
