Miss Barrow ran over to her. "Sarah, sweetheart, can you hear me," asked Miss Barrow.
Sarah opened her eyes. "Mum," Sarah called out.
"Yes, I'm right here what happened?," asked Miss Barrow.
"I'm sorry we shouldn't have gone. It was Hannah's idea and I went along with it, and i know I shouldn't have. I thought it would be a bit of fun. Everyone else was doing it" Sarah told her mum.
"It's fine, I'm not angry," said Miss Barrow.
"I saw Hannah and the others just before the ground collapsed. I didn't see anything else until now. Mum, what if they're dead? " whispered Sarah, sounding scared as Tears started to stream down her face.
"Don't worry Sarah, everything will be fine, you're fine, and hopefully so are the others" miss barrow told her.
Suddenly, Sarah flinched as a sharp pain ripped through her stomach.
"Sarah, what's wrong, what hurts," asked Miss Barrow concerned.
"My stomach," said Sarah, flinching again.
A paramedic came over. "We need to get her to the hospital fast, there could be internal bleeding ," the paramedic told Miss Barrow.
"OK, I'm coming," said Miss Barrow, sitting down and attaching herself to the chair by Sarah taking hold of her hand trying to comfort her.
"Tell me when you find the girls and tell me whether they're okay," miss barrow yelled at the other parents when the paramedic was shutting the doors.
"We will, I promise," shouted MRS Denver.
All of a sudden, the monitor beside Sarah started beeping, And Miss Barrow could see that Sarah's heart rate was slowing down and Sarah was starting to pass out.
"Sarah stay awake, you're okay" Miss barrow pleaded.
Miss Barrow saw, a paramedic hurried over to inject
medication into Sarah's arm.
However, suddenly Sarah lost consciousness and her heart rate Stopped. The paramedic began performing CPR.
Miss barrow Sat there frozen. "If she dies, then you'll be by yourself and your only child will be dead and It will be your fault you should've checked on her sooner." These words circulate through Miss Barrow's mind on the way to the hospital.
"123 123. 123, check for pulse," the paramedic instructed their colleague.
"No pulse," the other paramedic replied.
The first paramedic continued
performing CPR.
"123 123 123, check for pulse," they
called out again.
"No pulse," came the reply once more.
"Prepare the defibrillator and charge to 180," the first paramedic ordered.
"Charging to 180" The other paramedic called out.
"Clear" the paramedic called out.
Sarah was then shocked by the defibrillator.
" pulse check" the paramedic called out.
"No pulse," came the reply for a third time.
"charge to 200," the first paramedic called out.

Sarah was then shocked by the defibrillator.
" pulse check" the paramedic called out.
"No pulse" came the reply for a fourth time.
"Charging to 220" The other paramedic called out

Sarah was then shocked by the defibrillator.
"Pulse check," the paramedic said.
"There is a pulse, but it's very slow," the other paramedic said.
"Okay let's try to keep it steady until we can get to the hospital," said the paramedic. The paramedic then put an oxygen mask on Sarah to try and get her breathing steady.
When they arrived at the hospital grounds, they quickly opened the ambulance doors and rushed her inside the hospital
"An 18-year-old female who was involved in a cave accident. She most likely has internal bleeding, her heartbeat stopped on the way here. We Managed to get it going after 2 rounds of CPR, and 3 shocks of the defibrillator, but it's very slow". The paramedic told the team of nurses who had assembled for their arrival.
"Okay, thank you, let's rush her into the testing room to find out if it is internal bleeding or not then we will know what we are dealing with," said a nurse. As Sarah was rushed into the testing room.
The nurses quickly checked Sarah.
"It is internal bleeding. We need to get her into surgery and stop the bleeding quickly," The nurse turns around and looks at Sarah's mum as the other nurses start to rush Sarah away.
"You need to stay here during the surgery. Someone will come and let you know as soon as it's finished." said the nurse as a team of nurses rushed Sarah out of sight.
Miss barrow stood there and didn't know what to do. A receptionist saw what was going on and gave her a glass of water and showed her where she could sit and wait for an update on Sarah. All Miss Barrow could do was sit there waiting and hoping for the best outcome to happen.
