Squad Goals Season 4

Kylie

"She hasn't moved since we got here" I whisper to Kendall as the both of us, Gigi, Cara and Selena hover around the motionless girl. Kendall puts a piece of messy hair behind Rhiannon's ear and frowns when she only blinks and continues staring into space. 

"The doctors said that she's in shock. It should wear off in a few hours" Gigi supplies helpfully and I nod and bite the nail of my thumb.We were of course in a private room and Rhiannon sat on a hospital bed so large that it made her usual tall self look small as hell.

"Where's Drake?" Selena pipes up before taking a seat next to Rhiannon and grabbing her pale hand. She still doesn't move.

"The cops took him in for questioning. Rhiannon was able to give some detail before she went all.... Catatonic" Rhiannon blinks.

"Can we at least try to change her clothes?" Gigi wonders and I nod eagerly. She had been sitting in an expensive set of blood soaked lingerie with only a jacket supplied by a police officer to keep her semi modest. The press was having a field day outside. Her butt cheeks would make the front page and stay there for months.

"I'll ask a nurse for a hospital gown or something," Cara says before leaving and I look around the room and spot a bathroom.

"Let's wash her up first okay?" We  are all powerless to deny the stench of the dried blood and the way it crusted on her legs, hands, chest and one of her cheeks.

"Yeah. Yeah okay, that's a really good idea" Selena says softly as she rubs Rhiannon's back in soothing circles.

"Hey hun, want to hop in the tub?" Rhiannon says nothing and Selena looks to me for help. I kneel on the hardwood floor of the suite and place both hands on her exposed knees.

"Rhi?" I coax and she blinks, breathing softly.

"Let's rinse you off okay?" I watch as Kendall and Gigi make their way to the bathroom to run the water.

"Should it be hot or cold?" Kendall calls and I look to Selena for some input.

"Cold will get her sick..."

"But it might wake her up right?" Selena nods and I yell back to Kendall.

"Icy!" Selena shrugs the police jacket from Rhiannon's shoulders and once again we're able to see how irreversible the damage was to her lingerie.

"Justin gave her this set" I comment off handedly and Rhiannon shivers.

"Okay on the count of three we lift. I'll get her legs and you get her torso" Selena nods diligently and I count down.

"1...2...3" Rhiannon is light, but also lean with taut muscle so we awkwardly toddle to the bathroom.

"Set her here" Kendall says pointing to the closed toilet so we do and Gigi begins to strip off the ruined bra and panties.

"Put these in the trash okay King?" She instructs and I look around for a bin and do so.

"Fuck that's cold" Selena hisses when she dips a finger into the bath Kendall nods solemnly and this time she and Gigi are the ones to pick up Rhiannon.

"Sorry Rhi," Gigi murmurs and then she's placed gently into the bath. The water sloshes gently as it consumes her form. For a moment nothing happens and then a loud sob escapes her lips.

"Do we take her out or?" Selena prods, but I shake my head and turn the water to a warmer temp as Rhiannon continues to cry.

"Sorry babe, we're sorry" Kendall coos as Rhiannon's face scrunches up and snot begins to build up. She starts to shake and her teeth begin to chatter and once I realize this i turn the faucet to a scorching setting.

"J-Justin?" she asks through her tears and I try not to look mask my look of utter despair.

"Gigi, hand me some soap okay? There's um... theres blood in her hair it's like, matted" Gigi nods and I lather some in my hands and start to work away the mess.

"Justin?" She asks again and this time it's clearer. She sounds more like Rhiannon. more like herself.

"Shhh, Rhi. Let's get you clean alright?" She nods, a bit disoriented and let's us wash her up. By the time we're finished the water is a rosy red color and Rhiannon just stares at it even when we hurriedly pull the drain plug.

"I got a towel and an ugly ass gown. Well two so she can layer the and cover up her bum. How is she?" Cara whispers when she sees us guiding a dripping and naked Rhiannon out of the bathroom.

"She's up. A little out of it, but she's fine" I say and Cara nods before moving to dry her off. Gigi goes into mom mode and pulls back the covers on the bed and fluffs several off the pillows as we dress Rhiannon.

"Where's the thermostat? She's still fucking freezing" Selena comments as she hugs Rhiannon to her and guides her to the bed.

"I got it" I say and flip the air to a higher setting.

"Justin? Where's Justin?" Rhiannon mutters through swollen eyes and a croaking voice and at that moment Zayn and Harry enter the room.

"How is she?" Zayn asks and I shoot a half hearted thumbs up.

"Mates out of surgery tho-"

"Jay? Is he okay wh-" Selena calms Rhiannon's panicked voicing and shoots Harry a look. He and Zayn then look at eachother and motion for us to follow them out.

"I'll stay with her. you guys get updated" Selena says and we all look at Rhiannon who looks like she's about ready to fall asleep.

"So what's up?" Kendall is the first to ask and Harry nods. Ready to tell all.

"His heart stopped a few times during surgery. He's in the ICU now and scheduled for another one soon." I place a hand over my mouth, but continue to listen.

"Za, and Khalil are in the ICU with him. It's only two allowed at a time"

"How much damage did the bullet do?" Gigi inquires and Zayn sighs.

"Cracked a few of the bloke's ribs-"

"few inches higher and this would be a different sort of talk loves"

"He's lost a lot of blood, but the doctors are confident that he'll be okay" Zayn assures and a collective sigh of relief is released from the group.

"And the guy who did this to him?"

"Not caught. Drake isn't talking either. He's lawyered up and everything" Harry says with a hint of distaste.

"Justin will be lawyered up too." I say solidly before heading back into the room to tell Rhiannon the good news. When I walk in Selena holds a finger to her lips and shushes the group of us. Rhiannon was asleep with her face mushed against Selena's shoulder. Gigi, Cara, Kendall and I take a seat on the bed while the boys, and a newly arrival and  flower wielding Jack seat themselves around the room.

"Should we cancel season 4? For security reasons?" Cara asks and the question hangs in the air. She receives an answer from no one.
