Her brawl with Hunter had gotten her all worked up. How dare Hunter try to make this somehow Tatums fault? Sure, the girl shouldn't have been running around alone in the middle of the night, but did Hunter really have to blow up at her like that? It was just put Mack more on edge. When they were finally allowed in to see Tatum, Mack hesitated. The girl was alive, that much was for sure. Their lives were about to be turned upside down though, and Mackenzie was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it. She was going to kill Sam when she found him.

She entered the room before she could let herself chicken out, and lost it when she saw her girlfriend laying all bandaged up on the hospital bed. She looked pale, more so than usual, and she looked so fragile just laying there. Mack quickly crossed the room to Tatum's side, tears in her eyes as she gripped her girlfriends hand. Her Tatum, her poor little Tatum, she should have protected her. She should have never let her out of her sight. Kneeling down, Mack rested her forehead against Tatum's hand, crying quietly. She didn't want everyone else to see her like this, but she couldn't keep herself together any longer.

"You scared me so badly T," she whispered kissing the younger girl's hand softly. "I thought I was going to lose you."
