“No.. wait..” Briar suddenly lost her footing and plummeted backwards, screaming. She grabbed on for anything that could stop her. But she only came up with empty hands of air. Then she felt it. The sickening whump of her body hitting the pavement. And the crack of bone. All she could do was scream in pain.
Natalie screamed. Using her quick wits she grabbed Caroline and pulled her back inside. "Let's go!" She ran out of the room and started for the first floor to get outside.
"BRIAR!" Caroline shrieked. She sped back inside and sprinted through hallways and was out the door in 2 minutes flat, and by her friend's side.
"Briar, oh my god," she said softly, choking back a sob. "I'm so sorry, I scared you, it's all my fault." She lifted her friend's head gently and put it in her lap, stroking her hair away from her face.
(WHY IS NO ONE HERE GUYS WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS)
(I'm here but Emilia has no clue what's going on so…)
“Mmm…I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.. is this where it gets me? Will I finally be with my..mom?” Briar moaned, coughing up blood. The pain was throbbing all throughout her body.
“Mmm…I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.. is this where it gets me? Will I finally be with my..mom?” Briar moaned, coughing up blood. The pain was throbbing all throughout her body.
(…on my feet several feet ahead of me?)
(I don't really know what to do honestly)
Natalie rushed to Briar's side with a team of medics behind her. "Brair, hey. It's going to be okay." She helped the others lift her into a stretcher. "GO!!!" She shouted. She grabbed Caroline's hand and led her inside.
“Mmm…I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.. is this where it gets me? Will I finally be with my..mom?” Briar moaned, coughing up blood. The pain was throbbing all throughout her body.
(DON'T YOU EVEN DARE NO OH MY GOD YOU MADE ME CRY!)
Caroline stumbled after Natalie, sobbing uncontrollably, apologizing to the air in front of her as Briar was carried away on the stretcher.
“Mmm…I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.. is this where it gets me? Will I finally be with my..mom?” Briar moaned, coughing up blood. The pain was throbbing all throughout her body.
(…on my feet several feet ahead of me?)
(I see it coming do I run, or fire my gun, or let it be?)

(…on my feet several feet ahead of me?)
(I see it coming do I run, or fire my gun, or let it be?)
(there is no beat, no melody)
Natalie hugged Caroline tightly as Briar was pulled into emergency surgery.

(burr, my first friend, my enemy, maybe the last face I ever see)
Briar was now spouting “nonsense” at this point.
“I’m running out of time..I’m running out of time..teach my dad how to say goodbye..”
Caroline cried into Natalie's shoulder. "I scared her… I scared her and she fell…"
Emilia dropped the package off at reception, telling the lady who it was for. She nodded, understanding the situation.
"I'll give it to the family when they come back."
Emilia smiled and left reception. She didn't know where she was going, for now she planned to just wander around until she had something to do.
Natalie hugged Caroline tighter. "She'll be okay. She'll be okay. She'll be okay." But all the same, tears fell down her face too. God, please don't take two people from us today. She prayed.
“Where’s my daughter!” Briar’s father came rushing out into the hall, his eyes blazing.
“Pa..” Briar moaned.
“I did exactly as you said Pa..”
