A/N: Still not getting many reviews for this story, so I really don't know whether you like it or not but I do like it; so I'm going to continue.
As the nurse stood outside Mitchie's room she could tell that when she left her last night when she returned in the morning she would find her dead. Having been a nurse for 20 years she soon started predicting this. She could also tell whether or not people are happy. Or were.
Opening the door she closed it quickly behind her. She saw Mitchie turned on her side - facing away from her. She gulped as she walked around and opened the curtains, turning to look at Mitchie she saw the flat line on the life machine and closed her eyes. Although she's seen many deaths - they never manage to upset her.
"R.I.P beauty. You'll be very sadly missed" She whispered as she touched Mitchie's face - stone cold. Turning the life machine off, she wrote the time of death on the paper at the end of her bed before she begun the saddened task of letting the family know.
Closing the door behind her she quickly walked to the doctor.
"She's dead. Died during the night and I've filled out all paper work. The family is in our waiting room" She explained and the doctor nodded before setting her and her colleague off to work.
Opening the waiting room the doctor saw the family. Only the little girl was asleep and he decided on telling her first.
"Miss?" He asked and Alicia stood. The look on the doctors face gave it all away and he sighed.
"She died in her sleep. I'm so sorry" He whispered and a lone tear fell.
Screaming, she turned and slammed her fist on the dusty window seal. Waking up the others, they soon saw the doctors and not long later the whole room was full of sobs, screams, cries for their beloved daughter, friend and mother.
It had been two hours since the death of Mitchie and everyone had calmed a little. Matt and Bella had been picked up by their parents and taken home. They felt they were intruding staying when she was not family.
Ella and Jason had said their wishes to the family and they set off. They were going to go back to the house and make sure all the animals were cared for before they set off for the nearest hotel. They would stay close for the funerals of both their beloved brother and friend.
Connie and Steve were talking to the doctor and a funeral planner, along with a solicitor and a carer. The will of both Mitchie and Shane was being checked and planned and the future of Alicia needed to be determined.
Alicia was standing in the large hospital ward, staring blankley out the window. Nate walked up behind her and leant against the wooden post.
"Hey" He whispered and she looked up at him. She could see he had been crying.
"They're really gone, Nate. Both of them. And I'll never see them again" She sobbed, her voice cracking as the words sunk in.
Without a word he cradled the orphaned child in his arms. For he had lost his brother and best friend. But she was only a child and she lost the two most important people in her life - her parents.
As they stood together, comforting each other with touch they heard running footsteps. Looking behind them they saw Caitlyn running towards them.
"Nate, the press. They heard about the deaths - they're asking to see you and find out what happened" She breathed, finding it hard to breath after the 4 flights of stairs she just climbed.
"Okay, lets go" He sighed as he took off, Caitlyn by his side. Alicia looked out the window to see the press surrounding the hospital. Blocking off the entrance to any other people. Anger bubbled inside of her. How could they be so thoughtless.
Turning she accidently bumped into a doctor.
"Sorry" She whispered before moving around him, to continue her walk.
"Miss?" He called and she stopped slowly, turning around to face him. She raised her eyebrows at him. She was in absolutely no mood to be bothered. "I have your mothers diary. It was left by her bedside table." He explained and her face softened as she reached forward and took her mothers diary.
He nodded quickly before getting back to work, leaving Alicia standing at this diary she has never seen before.
Running her hands over the front she could feel the dents, perhaps where Mitchie had once dropped it. She felt the tears rising in her eyes but she bit her lip, distracting herself. Looking up she noticed the seat behind her was un-occupied and she sat, opening the diary and seeing her mothers writing bought it all back. Tears ran freely down her face as she flicked through the pages of her mothers thoughts.
A man walked past, helping his wife along in a wheelchair.
"I can't believe how they could be blocking the front of the hospital like this. I feel for them, I really do but they could cost lives with their actions. Just because of the need for gossip." Alicia followed before the anger she felt for the press returned.
Shutting the diary she ran, out of the ward, down the stairs and to the front of the hospital. She pushed past the police, her family and friends and stood in front of the press.
"Alicia! Tell us whats happened" A women shouted in front of the camera and she nodded.
"You want to know whats happened? Whats happened is that my mother and father have died in a car accident and you don't have the consideration to leave us alone! They're dead! I will never ever see my parents again and you decided you want to come here and block up the front of the hospital and you know what you're doing? You just standing here could cost someone else to die! Now get the hell out of here!" She screamed.
The flashes stopped, the camera's lowered and the tears fell from these reporters eyes and they nodded, turning as they walked back to their cars and drove off.
Turning she looked at her grandparents.
"I want to go home. Now" She ordered. Connie walked forward, kneeling down to her level before she held her hand.
"Baby, we need to discuss somethings"
"Yes and we can do that later! Right now I need to go home. I need to sit in the house where there are memories of my parents. I need to be alone with them now!" She cried and Connie nodded, turning to Steve as he grabbed their bags and talked to the others around them.
"Okay, lets go home" She whispered as she stood, leading Alicia to the car.
Half an hour later and they pulled up into the drive away of what once, used to be a happy family home.
"We'll be out here talking, we'll be in soon" Connie whispered. Nodding Alicia opened the car door, still carrying the diary and slowly made her way to the door.
Standing in front of the large red door she reached up, holding the knocker in her hands. Feeling it the memories rushed back and she opened the door. The rooms all held these memories that came flooding back.
"Alicia!" Mitchie screamed. Running into the kitchen she stopped, looking at her mum and dad play fighting in the kitchen.
Mitchie was covered in cake mixture, Shane was tickling her and Mitchie was reaching out to Alicia - asking for help.
Laughing she ran forward and Shane trapped her in between himself and Mitchie as they covered her in cake mixture.
"Stop!" She screamed, their laughter filling the kitchen as the covered each other.
Chuckling she walked around to all the different rooms, remembering a different memory in each.
Climbing the stairs she walked into her room, she remember all the memories she had in here with her parents from when she was a little girl.
Turning she looked across the hall. Her parents bedroom.
The pristine white door was shut and the outside was her mothers heels. Mitchie loved shoes, especially heels.
Opening the door the scents of both Mitchie and Shane flooded her senses and she smiled. Pictures filled the walls, their perfumes and jewelery all over the dressing table, clothes covering the bed.
Walking forward she smiled as she climbed into the bed, tucking herself in and grabbing Shane's shirt and Mitchie's dress she cuddled them as she took out the diary and opened it. Beginning to read she soon became engulfed in Mitchie's thoughts.
"Okay, we'll go and tell her the news" Connie nodded as she walked to the house. Her and Steve had finally been told that Alicia was now their responsibility. Mitchie and Shane had trusted them with looking after their beautiful daughter.
Walking up the stairs they soon found themselves at the door of their daughter and son-in-law. Pushing the door open slightly they both walked in. The scents and scene completely mesmorising them but the thing that mesmerised them the most was their granddaughter.
Alicia was cuddled up, amongst her parents clothes, in their bed, fast asleep. Tears down her face they could see she cried herself to sleep but they smiled none the less. For it was a beautiful scene.
A/N: Third chapter. I know it's running a bit slow and isn't too detailed but I want to get to the main thing and to do that I have to fill in with the small details.
