Split Lives

Chapter 19

~Francis~

Myself, Skyler, Jacob, Ricky and Tyler are all talking to each other whilst hanging on a street corner, we usually hang around the street corners when doing 'business' or waiting to do 'business' and by business I mean a lot of illegal s**t for Azura so she can meet deadlines plus as I said she's part of mafia...so she could kill us if she wanted and no one would find us, so for that reason we listen to her.

As we're all talking Tyler says "not seen AJ for a few days" "same here" Skyler answers "pfft she'll be fine" Ricky says unbothered "sis, we've not been hanging out for a bit" Jacob points out which they haven't really "but even I've not, and I'm around near everyday" Tyler jumps in, I nudged Tyler "you have Ty, we seen AJ yesterday to give updates and you got your fix off her. It's Just as usual, you we're high as feck from the stuff you got to even know where the hell you've been" Tyler shrugs "fair dos dude" I shake my head and smirk "she was here yesterday, although....come to think of it, she's not seen us today" I said going into thought when Ricky chimes up again "she'll be fine, she always is. Knowing AJ, she is probably off relaxing somewhere" "you're probably right" Jacob agrees.

I'm in my office looking at every charge against Azura and all evidence, previous locations and endless video footage of Azura to try and find some kind of clue as too where Azura is so I can catch her and she can finally get put away for a very long time, maybe get the death penalty if I'm lucky enough 'how is it so hard to catch an annoying, scrawny, stupid girl? I will get you Azura' I think to myself trying my best to not lose my mind over it all.

Myself, Oliver and Tyra all sit next to an unconscious Azura who is on life support while we hope and prey that Azura doesn't die that she can pull through and at least hopefully survive the long surgery awaiting her to save her once the blood comes, we're all just hoping it won't be too late, as I break out of my thoughts Angelica walks over to us "Miss Skye?" Tyra turns to look at Angelica "yeah?" Angelica then bends down to Tyra's level "I just wanted to say thank you for donating your blood" Angela begins "we may have restarted her heart, but it wouldn't of restarted if it weren't for your blood, we would have failed and Crystal would of been dead and gone" Tyra blushes slightly, she's always so humble, she once helped raise over 20,000 dollars for charity and even to this day still says it's nothing "it's nothing really, it'll be nice to have a new friend when she recovers" Tyra says quietly, I place my hand on her shoulder and look her in the eyes "seriously Ty, thank you" "it truly means so much" Oliver added, Tyra smiled "she sounds cool, I wanna meet her and be her friend, I couldn't do that if she died" I give Tyra a side hug showing her I'm so grateful for her and what she done. 

My mom then walked in "Angela?" Angela turns around "yes Jen?" Angela asks as she stands back up to talk to my mom properly, I just hope it's something good. My mom and Angela are very good friends, have been since forever, as a kid I use to call her Auntie Angie, my mom then carries on to say "OR 2 is all prepped again, the blood has just arrived, can you get Crystal ready for surgery please? Surgeons are on their way there now" my mom says sounding very professional, Angela answers just as professional "of course, I'll get her ready then bring her to the OR" me, Tyra and Oliver all looked at each other smiling, I guess there's hope after all "did you say it was OR 2?" Angela asks double checking she heard my mom correctly "yes" my mom confirms "ok, thanks Jen, I'll get started now" Angela says to my mom, to which my mom nods acknowledging Angela's response then leaves.

After the conversation with my mom Angelica turns to us 3 "ok guys, you can wait in the relatives room, I'm going to take Crystal to surgery now. I promise, someone will come and let you know when she's out of surgery and back in this room" we want Azura to survive and get fixed up so we don't hesitate to leave, I give her a small kiss on her forehead then follow my friends out the room, I turn around to have one last look at Azura to see Angela getting her ready for surgery. I take in a deep breath then look away and follow my friends to the relatives room, hoping with everything in me that Azura will be ok and come out alive.

~Tyra~

Me, Marcus and Oliver was in the relatives room talking whilst waiting to hear anything on Crystal 'Mrs. Benson kept going to say another name then stopping and replacing with Crystal....I wonder if her last name is even Crystal.....what if it's not her name and she's hiding something?' I wondered to myself as we was all talking. Oliver was being his usual optimistic self "this is amazing, she's on her way to surgery" I try to keep spirits up so I agree with Oliver "it really is, she'll be back to her normal self in no time" but Marcus wasn't feeling the excitement, I also think I put my foot in my mouth with my last statement as he looked at me then back to the floor "not exactly, she still has to make it through surgery. Even if she makes it through surgery, she won't fully be herself" "what do you mean?" I ask confused, like I get why some people change after something like this attack, but she sounds like a strong girl who this wouldn't affect mentally "you know that urm...where the stitches are...well right over her left eye?" Oliver starts "yeah. So she has a few stitches here and there" I say shrugging sounding more like a question rather than a statement "well, that's not what they'd call a superficial cut. She's always had ok vision, now she's going to be completely blind in her left eye" Marcus finishes the answer to my question, still not taking his eyes off the floor, that was not what I thought would happen, I thought her eye would be fine, it didn't look that bad with the stitches, them surgeons really are good I honestly thought it was just a minor cut, I didn't know it was deep enough to affect her vision "oh.....wow. Sorry to hear that" I say not knowing what I'm meant to say.

Marcus sighs and puts his hands over his face so Oliver puts his hand on Marcus's shoulder "she's tough dude, she'll be fine" Oliver says trying to not lose hope, which was clear that Marcus didn't have any of "Oliver is right Marc, she'll get through this" I say trying to sound positive to try and give Marcus hope, but it failed as he starts talking with much sadness "but what if she doesn't? She's already died once on the table, what if she dies again and...and...she might not..." Marcus is unable to finish his question with loss of hope as he suddenly starts bursting into tears crying, my heart breaks for him so I pull into a side hug as Oliver starts rubbing his back trying to comfort our friend.
