Traffic laws be damned. As soon as she parked the car, Claire tore from it, running to the hospital as fast as her weary legs could carry her. The officers had told her that Rider had been taken to the emergency room as soon as she'd been discovered. Somehow, despite the wreckage, she'd been found mostly unharmed, as if protected by a magic field. Running up to the desk, she blurted out, "Rider Wilson! Where is she?" Vonnie came into the hospital behind her and wrapped her arm around Claire's shoulder. "I'm her aunt and this is her sister. Please...." That please was more for a hope of good news. The nurse typed fast, then said, "She's in the Intensive Care Unit, just moved out of surgery. It's..." She started to give directions, but Claire was already turning to leave. She could follow the signs. Vonnie followed after her, assuming that Lyall was following behind them. Rider, we're coming, Claire thought to herself, clinging desperately to the thought that her sister would be alright. ♫ Let it go ♪

  ✮𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓇✮𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝑔𝓊𝓈✮𝐻𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒻𝒻 𝒜𝓁𝓊𝓂𝓃𝓊𝓈✮ Lyall felt the car halt, then watched both the ladies dart out. He grabbed all the bags and hurried after, missing the issue at the counter. He just watched Claire turn and run, followed by Vonnie. He nodded toward the receptionist, then questioned further. It didn't seem like Claire had thought to grab room numbers. Once equipped with knowledge and the directions, he took off after the girls. It took a second before he caught up, the man wheezing again. "Take.. a left, then go past the pediatrics ER... then a right. End of that hall is the ICU waiting lobby." He took a deep breath, then started running down the hall, following his directions. Finally, they arrived at a small lobby. There were a few people, most of whom looked nervous. They were going to join the party. Lyall set their bags down and walked to the counter. "We're here to see Rider Wilson? Room.... 37C? That's what the help desk lady told us." He looked at the man, who nodded and asked for identification to protect the patients. After he was cleared, Lyall pinned the guest badge to his sweater, then handed one to Claire. "You ready to see Rider? We have to walk and be at least somewhat careful in the ICU. Don't want to disturb anyone, particularly at this hour." He looked over at Vonnie, allowing the woman to step forward and lead the way. He didn't mind standing back to hold the bags.

She glanced at Lyall, then saw the person approaching them. He asked if they were Rider's family and Claire nodded. She listened to him explain her condition. Rider had been most protected from the accident, something that was a miracle to him. Her head took a serious knocking though and they'd had to drill into her head in order to relieve the swelling. A couple of her ribs had been broken, as well as her right wrist. The girl had also been in a coma, one that she'd emerged from only moments ago. Claire's eyes filled with tears and she nodded, then pulled aside the curtain. Rider was laying on the bed, a bandage wrapped around her head. Her long hair was gone, a victim of them clearing space for drilling. Her arm was in a cast and her chest was wrapped in bandages. Stepping to Rider's bedside, Claire weakly said, "Rider?"♫ Let it go ♪

✮𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓇✮𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝑔𝓊𝓈✮𝐻𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒻𝒻 𝒜𝓁𝓊𝓂𝓃𝓊𝓈✮ Lyall watched Claire slow her pace a bit, then stop outside the room that belonged to Rider. The older male placed a hand comfortingly on Claire's shoulder and looked at the doctor. He explained what happened, and what had happened to correct it. He exhaled heavily, nodding once. It was going to be difficult to see Rider, but Claire took the mantle again and walked inside the room. Rider looked a mess, but Lyall had prepared for the view. She was bandaged just about everywhere, but her eyes... her eyes betrayed her pain. Lyall tried to calm himself down, knowing he was likely about to cry. After Claire's broken tone spoke her sister's name, Rider responded... but barely. It was so quiet. Lyall set down their bags as quietly as possible, then he walked over to the young woman there. Rider asked if Claire really was there, then tried to sit up. With a gentle, but firm hand, Lyall gently lay Rider back against the pillows. "Hey now, Rider. Don't you try sitting just yet. You're alright, okay? Claire, me, and your auntie are here. Tintri's on the way to Tori's house too. You just... just try to relax, okay? We almost lost you and... I can't... I can't..." He turned his face down, tears splashing onto the thick glass before his eyes, before spilling over and down to the blankets. He kept one hand on her shoulder, but moved the other to gently hold her free hand. She had to be scared... and Claire shouldn't have to be the rock here. Neither should Shavon... so he'd take the role. Rider needed him now more than ever, and he was damn sure going to be there through it all. I'ᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴀᴡᴀʏ. I'ʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ sᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏ

✮𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓇✮𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝑔𝓊𝓈✮𝐻𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒻𝒻 𝒜𝓁𝓊𝓂𝓃𝓊𝓈✮ Lyall tried to be strong for his friend, but he couldn't. All he could do was stand there and watch as she discovered the news of her parents' death. He couldn't even break the news... He would be expected to be able to break terrible news, and he couldn't do it. All he was good for was crying. Rider's wails were heartbreaking, and Lyall couldn't handle it. "R-Rider... please... you have to try and be calm.... please..." At this point, he was being selfish. He knew Rider was crying in mourning for her parents, and all he wanted was to stop hearing her cry. He couldn't handle it. He wasn't strong enough to be a protector. Rider needed someone stronger than he was, and he didn't know what to do anymore. With that, he decided to remain quiet until he gathered his thoughts. He just pet Rider's hand, trying to cry silently. I'ᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴀᴡᴀʏ. I'ʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ sᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏ

✮𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓇✮𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝑔𝓊𝓈✮𝐻𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒻𝒻 𝒜𝓁𝓊𝓂𝓃𝓊𝓈✮ Lyall watched Rider as Claire collapsed. As the cries grew louder and his attempts to calm had been unheard, Rider's heart monitor began beeping faster until... she slipped into unconsciousness. The screams silenced and the room was quiet save the cries of the others and the beeping. It was still far too fast. Lyall grabbed his wand just as a nurse ran in, so he shoved it back in his pocket and watched. A handful of seconds later, her heart rate slowed to a normal clip. Lyall sunk back into the chair there, staring in upset at the scene. Claire was panicked and Rider... Rider couldn't take it. She'd collapsed. Lyall wiped his eyes again, then sniffled. "She... She'll be fine. She just needs to... rest... and to recover. And she needs us to remain calm to help keep her calm. We just have to... to not panic..." He sniffled again as the tears poured once more, this time wetting the front of his cardigan. He needed to be strong for the others. He had to try. I'ᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴀᴡᴀʏ.

✮𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓇✮𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝑔𝓊𝓈✮𝐻𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒻𝒻 𝒜𝓁𝓊𝓂𝓃𝓊𝓈✮ Lyall knew Rider was likely to be asleep for the night, so he figured he'd try to sleep. He wouldn't be successful, but he'd sure try. When Claire started walking, the man looked up at her, wondering where she was headed. There wasn't much room to sleep, after all. Only a little couch and the small armchair he was currently occupying. He was surprised, however, when the girl curled up on his lap, Lyall felt a surge of protectiveness race through him. As she quietly said her thanks, he nodded. "Claire, you don't have to thank me. I'd be here no matter what." He reached over and grabbed a spare blanket from the nighttable and carefully wrapped the little ball of Claire in it. She needed a bit to mourn, and he'd let her stay as long as she needed to do just that. "You can cry if you need to, Claire. I'm here for you, okay? And I'm not gonna go anywhere." He wrapped his arms around her, laying her head against his chest. He didn't mind to help Claire, as the girl was like a younger sister to him, and he would want someone to offer him love and compassion in the same situation. For now, he'd let her cry or talk or however she needed to vent. He wasn't about to leave the room, much less his dear friends. I'ᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴀᴡᴀʏ. I'ʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ sᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏ

Closing her eyes, she quickly drifted off to sleep. Vonnie moved over to the other remaining seat and sat down. Looking over Rider, she sighed, then said, "You should both get some sleep. I'll watch over her. Martha would want me to make sure she's okay." She would keep a watchful eye over Rider. Vonnie wasn't about to let what happened to her happen to Claire. No, Claire would keep her older sister. At some point in the night, Rider awoke and asked for water. Vonnie got up and gave her water, then sat and watched over her as she slept. Vonnie's chest burned, but she would grieve later. ♫ Let it go ♪
