24 - Broken
A/N: Get ready to hate me!
Galina
I had the paramedics and we were running, hoping to get to Krisi before it was too late. I rounded the last corner and saw her laying there lifeless, I felt my heart in my throat and I fell to my knees.
"Krisi?"
I got no response so I shook her shoulders, her phone fell out of her hand and hit the ground with a crack. I took a step back and the paramedics rushed in, I barely even know Krisi and seeing this breaks my heart. I tugged my hands through my hair as I heard the shocks.
"Charge to 180"
I watched them shock her, I feel horribly sick. Krisi cant die, not like this anyways. Luis needs her, Colby needs her. I hear the screams of Holly from down the corridor and I know I have to keep from seeing this in fear it will break her.
"Krisi!"
I caught Holly as she fell to the ground, I could feel every tear and every sob. She clung onto me as if I were her lifeline.
"Charge to 180 again."
Shock, nothing again.
"Please you need to save my daughter!"
She was desperately pleading with them now, I could see the sadness in there eyes. I knew at this point that Krisi was well and truly dead.
"No! No please not my baby...she can't be dead."
I let her go and she rushed to Krisi's side.
"Time of death 11:34am"
I stood up and took a step away, I watched Holly pull her daughter close. I wished for this to be a bad dream. A horrible day that could only be made in my imagination, but no. I'm standing in a hospital covered in Ashley's blood and Krisi's gone. I know I need to find Colby and Becky, then go see about Joe and Ashley. I went to leave but I heard Holly's broken voice.
"Please don't leave me..."
I crumbled to the floor myself, wrapping her in a tight embrace as I did so.
Colby
I couldn't find Rebecca anywhere, I dialled Joe and he answered. He sounded awful.
"Colby, where are you?"
"Looking for Rebecca!"
"You need to get down here right now."
"Why?"
I could hear the fear in his voice.
"It's Krisi,.."
"What's happened?"
I turned and saw Becky, I dropped the phone to the floor and rushed over to her bed. I could see how pale she looked and this just feared me even more. I intertwined our hands and felt her loosely squeeze my hand, I smile appeared on my face as I saw her start to stir. She slowly peeled open her eyes as soon as she saw my face her eyes went wide, bringing one of her hands to check my cuts.
"I'm okay Colby, we both are."
She snaked her arm around her stomach and grabbed my hand too.
"Look there kicking."
I felt myself light up and I hugged Becky. The armed officers ran down our ward but nothing could stop this moment.
Becky
Once this is over I can't wait to do all the things normal people do when there pregnant. Like have a baby shower and a late gender reveal, if this crazy time has shown me anything it's that I'm so lucky to pregnant. I'm scared and I will always be scared but I'm having a child so I should be happy. I heard the squeak of someone's shoes, I lifted my head slightly and saw Joe. He was running towards us face full of tears, I felt my heart stop in fear that I'd just lost Ashley.
"Colby, Becky. I'm so sorry."
"What is it?"
His entire face was drained of colour and I felt myself becoming more on edge by the second.
"It's Krisi..."
"What's happened Joe?!?"
"She's dead."
I watched as Colby ran down the corridor, Joe not far behind him. I pulled out every wire and no matter how much it hurt me I needed to get down there. I ignored the yelling from my nurses and doctors to get back into bed, Colby needs me and I need Colby. I made my way down the staircase and I felt sadness start to take over the very fabric I'm made of. I reached the bottom of the staircase and felt my tears fall, I pushed through the double doors and I felt my knees buckle underneath me. I saw Krisi lying there, I saw Colby and Holly.
"No."
Joe noticed me and came towards me, wrapping himself around me.
"I can't believe it."
I completely broke in his arms, I could see everything and it was killing me.
"Mama!"
I heard Luis shout from down the corridor, I pushed away from Joe and ran. I knew I was too late and Luis had already seen.
"What's wrong with mama?"
"Oh baby."
He nestled his head into my neck and I carried him out to reception. I could feel his tears against my neck, I saw all the blood in reception and I saw Ashley's jacket. I felt someone place my hand on there shoulder.
"Ashley's been taken to theatre, do you want me to grab you a bandage or something."
I looked down at my hand and saw blood pouring down my arm, I simply nodded. Holding Luis even tighter as I waited for Joe to return, every time I close my eyes that's all I can see. I thought maybe I could be fixed but now I'm well and truly broken.
"I want to see mummy!"
"I'm so so sorry Luis."
He rubbed his eyes and titled his head a little.
"Why you sad?"
"Mummy has had to go."
I could feel my heart crack, because I know she's never coming back.
"What was she doing on the floor?"
"Just resting."
"Silly mummy, thought she was goon to see Chesty!"
I let out and audible sigh and Luis looked at me funny.
"Why you cry?"
"Because I'm gonna miss your mummy!"
"Will she be back for this."
He placed his hand on my bump, I shook my head and he fell back onto my chest. This time wrapping his arms around me.
"No need to cry. I'll be here."
It hurts me even more seeing Luis thinking that his mother will one day be back, but I know she won't and it's killing me. I watched Joe begin to wrap the bandage around my hand, I felt a similar numbing feeling to when Colby died although it was in my head it feels the same as this. I pass Luis to Joe and walk out.
"I'm sorry Joe I can't do this"
I let the fresh air hit me, I could see the kids in the distance so I made my way to the back of the building. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, Krisi is really gone and I can't change that. Not long after I was out of here, I saw Galina appear. Jeans blood soaked and a look of pure pain. I made my way over to her and saw her face, she looked just as broken as me, I pulled her to me and we just cried.
"I haven't even known her long...but it feels like she's been there forever."
"I understand that Galina, seeing her little boy was killing me. He couldn't see me like this, he doesn't understand and I'm scared that I will scare him."
"I was there when she died, I was with Holly and it felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I've never seen anyone die before..."
"I have been stuck with Randy these last few weeks and I've missed my family so so much. I was so looking forward to things getting back to normal and now we've lost Krisi. She's the type of person who can make your day with a few simple sentences, when Ashley was busy Krisi was always there. She gave me advice about being pregnant and she's helped with so much, I just can't believe she's actually gone. I thought that we'd be doing the school run in ten years, Krisi picking up my kids when WWE won't let me off. But now she's gone, I've lost my step sister and Luis has lost his mother..."
Colby
I watched as they put a cover over her, it's know it's not going to be long until they steal my sister away from me forever. My mother hasn't said anything and neither have I, Krisi has always been the crazy but sensible one out of the two of us, she's picked me up when i'm down and now she's dead. I can't bear to watch as they put my sister in a body bag. I couldn't look at her, it made me feel queasy. I can't admit it, I can't have lost her. She's my sister, she's Luis's mother. She has actual importance in this world, why'd have to be her? I got off the floor and ran to the bathroom, I threw up everything. I slid down against the bathroom stall and placed my head in my hands, occasionally moving to be sick. In the corner of my eye, I saw a red head walk in.
"Colby?"
I didn't move, she moved to me. Lightly tilting my head up to meet her gaze.
"I'm here."
I couldn't look at her, I pushed her away and I saw a look of fear in her face. I didn't mean to scare her, I just meant for her to back away.
"I think you need some time, but you know where I am..."
She slid away and I felt another hole pierced in my heart, I pulled myself over to the sinks. I splashed cold water in my head and I swear I saw Krisi standing behind me. I used the sink to steady myself before walking out, I see how upset everyone looks. I make my way down the corridor when I feel someone grab my arm. I turn and see my mother, she pulls me in for a hug and the thin piece of sellotape holding me together snapped completely.
