Madison! NO!!!!" Kevin screamed falling to his knees, catching her limp, lifeless body. Everyone ran out of the mall screaming ad Joey jumped off the stage grabbing Kevins arm.
"I can't leave her Joey..."
"You have to Kevin!... Kev she's gone, man. Come on" Pulling his arm a little harder they ran backstage.
"Mama, get up!" justin screamed as she fell aginst the stage as screaming people kicked and stepped all over her. Justin pulled JC back and they lifted her backstage. Chris jumped off the stage, pushing and shoving people ou of his way to get to that clared out space on the floor. Kneiling down beside Madison's body, he placed an arm under her legs and the other under her neck as he lifted her off of the floor and to to couch backstage he qickly grabbed some towels and prssed down on the buller wound in her side.
Joey calmed the girls and I as Lance calmed Kevin down, and JC thanked the 911 operator, and walked over to sit beside Justin he watched him holding Lynn;s hand as tears streamed down his face JC leaned over and grabbed him as he buired his face in JC's shoulder. "Once we get her to a hospitil she'll be fine. I promise." JC reasured him.
"JC, I'm so scared!" Justins words were muffeled my JC's shirt.
The girls sat in a dark corner watching Chris and Joe sittingwith Kevin as Lance and JC sat with Justin in front of the doors to the ER. It seemed almost like time had stopped as doctor Holland walked. "Part with Madison Nicole Turner?" She asked stepping towards Kevin. "Yes?" Kevin asked his voice cracked with fear.
"I'm sorry, honey. She didnt make it through surgery." She said with sympathy. kevin felt a stingng sensation in his eyes and an ache in his chest as he walked outside to the big black Navigstor that was in their posession for the weekend. Sobbing, he climed in and slamed the door.
Turning to speak to Joey and Erika, she explined the accident.
"When Madison was shot, the buller went through a few of her major organs, causin severe injust. We couldnt stop the internal bleeding in time" She continued with apologies before she turned and walked back through the silver doors.
We all walked over help Justin through the wait as Joey walked outside to comfort Kevin "Whose with Laynn Harless?" Doctor Summers asked raisig her eyebrows as justin stepped foward lowering his head. "I am." he mumbled looking down at his Nike's
"I'm sorry Sir. She suffered severe head injurys and she can't come out of it." he said lcking his lips as he turned and disapered through the doors. Justin turned towards JC, breaking down.. YOU said she was goonna ge okay, but she's not...., You promised JC but she's not she's never gonna be okay again!" Turning to Kyla, sobbing, restind his head on her shoulder.
"Justin, It's oaky. I miss her too, but we need to call your stepdad." she said reassuringly. When she heard him weaping even louder she suggested anoher Idea.
"Nevermind Justin, Lancr or someone can call him for you from the hotel. Come on. We'll go home." Chris draped a loving arm over his shoulders to let him know that he was there for him.
