Elizabeth wasn't quite sure what to do at first, even at the order to get towels, and it took her a few moments for her brain to click just the thought that she needed to run to the bathroom to grab towels. When it did she ran to the bathroom, grabbing just an armful of towels, pausing for Aleksey's brother, then continuing the run in to place them next to his mother. She could barely look at Aleksey, and when she did she felt dizzy as if she were about to pass out, and she very nearly did at the scream from him when his wounds were pressed against.<br/><br/>Quickly turning so her back was to them she put her hands over her ears while she, too, was crying, as if she were the one in pain. But she didn't move, because she already felt dizzy, and was sure if she did she'd fall, and if she fell she was almost positive she'd end up passing out. She wanted to comfort Aleksey but in truth she couldn't even comfort herself, and still her heart was as fast as a rabbits, her legs feeling weak as if they were about to give out on her, and it wasn't helping to hear more of his sounds of pain. Why couldn't she have done anything to help? Why did she always have to watch people get hurt?<br/><br/>The thought brought her back to the old memory of the crash. Of her mother. Watching, as she was bitten. And all she had been able to do was cry. Like she was now. Would she ever be able to change these things?<br/><br/>When the ambulance did arrive, she was relieved that she wouldn't be left at the house, and eagerly stuck to Aleksey's side. Once they had cleaned him up and brought him back to the room they were staying at. By then she had calmed down, but she was a wreck, as far as she could see. Stuck in her own thoughts and dreads, horrified with herself because all she'd ever been able to do, was watch, as the one's she loved always got hurt.<br/><br/>And easily she had fallen asleep in the chair beside Aleksey's bed, a rest that she needed. Not only from the crying and the practical panic attack, but simply because she'd already been worn out from the travelling. But instantly she was awake with a jolt at the nudge, only relaxing once she realized it was from Aleksey. Rubbing at her eyes, she made a face of confusion at what was said, replying in a whisper, "What do you mean, Aleksey?"
