A/N - Once again, i know i keep saying this, but its really hard to update 3 stories everyday. So sometimes it may not work. I made this story because i loved the Lindsay James storyline, so i decided to creat my own. Hope you enjoy and please review. Any critiscm is welcome

LINDSAY POV

I felt sick again, an all to familiar feeling inside me. How on earth was i supposed to go inside a hospital and see Dad. He would have something planned for me.. i know it. Miss Mason is getting more and more suspicious. That's the only reason i agreed to this. I can't let her find out. Emily would be broken. All that matters is mum and Em.

Everyone POV

"You excited Emily?" Rachel asked, Emily now had a huge smile on her face

"Yes! I can't wait!" She made a little jump for joy then looked over to Lindsay, who was now staring at the entrance

"Lindsay? Are you excited to see him?" Rachel asked, taking a cautious step towards her. Something wasn't right.

"Yeah. course" She said. She realised that they weren't convinced. So she said once again "I can't wait." She plastered a smile on her face, and followed Rachel and Emily into the hospital.

"I feel sick." Lindsay ran towards the toilets.

"Wait here Emily. Stay right here." Rachel said, before running after Lindsay.

Lindsay threw up, Rachel constantly asking if she was okay. Lindsay leaned against the door.

"I'm fine. Honestly." She said

"Are you sure? You don't have to see your father if you don't -"

"I do." Lindsay cut in.

They walked down the corridor before reaching there fathers bed. Emily threw back the curtain which had surrounded her father.

"I'll wait out here" Rachel said.

"Miss it's okay if you want to come in.." Lindsay said, before shooting her a pleading look. Was this a cry for help? Rachel thought to herself.

"DAD!" Emily went straight into a hug, Rachel smiled at the gesture. Before notcing Lindsay standing as far back as she could.

"Why would mum do this? I love you dad, i love you so so much! I can't wait until we are a family again!" Emily giggled.

"Your mum aint gonna get away with this sweetheart. She is sick. Don't worry we will be a PROPER family this time round. Nothing will go... wrong, will it Lindsay?" He sent a menacing look to Lindsay, this caused her to step back.

"We will never be a family. Not without mum.." Lindsay muttered. Her voice was filled with fear, her hands shaking violently. Her father saw her hands. He knew that she was scared. Lindsay hid this, she placed her hands in her pockets and decided to look elsewhere.

"I'm sure Marion would just want you to be happy, for all of you to stay strong." Rachel pointed out.

"Shouldn't you be running a school of something Mason?" This even sent a shudder down Rachels back. And not many people could do that.

"I said i'd supervise the girls.. and the staff are taking care of the school. I trust them." She said.

"Supervise? They don't need supervising. I'd like to talk to each of my girls individually.." He demanded

"Erm.. sure. Go ahead. Emily?" She signalled for her to go first. Lindsay and Rachel sat on the seats just outside the bed. Lindsay didn't like the fact there were curtains.. she couldn't see Emily.

"This is pretty tough isn't it. Your finding it hard aren't you?" Rachel said.

"I'm fine. Listen, can you just stop going on about my feelings. ok? I said i'm fine, so for once believe me." Lindsay argued. This was her shield.

"Lindsay, you can drop the tough guy act. Listen your making harder for yourself -"

"There is no tough guy act. Got it."

"This isn't fair on Emily, Lindsay." Rachel said, she wrapped Lindsays hands in her own.

"Emily knows she can talk to me about mum." Lindsay snapped, taking away her hands from Rachels

"I mean your father Lindsay. Emily honours him." Her voice still soft despite the things Lindsay said.

"I'm getting Emily." Lindsay strolled into the room, "Emily come on lets go." Emily left the room. Lindsay was just about to follow when...

"Don't i get to talk to my beautiful little girl?" He slyly said.

"I'm not your little girl." Lindsay stated.

"Come here. Or are you too scared?" He sat up in his bed. "Your not coward are you? Emily and that Mason woman expect you to talk to me. We need to have a little chat."

Lindsay stepped forward towards him, her eyes stuck onto his.

"I'm not gonna tell.. you know that." Lindsay said. Her schoolyard personality stepping in. Leaving the vulnerable Lindsay behind. She began to walk out. Her father grabbed her hand. Pulled her in. Thier faces now in line with eachother

"Attempted murder doesn't go down well Lindsay.. you know that. And you know full well whatever you do to me, i just get you back harder" His grip tighting on Lindsay wrist, making her whimper.

"You will not tell anyone about our little secret. Mum will be very jealous. I love you lots Lindsay, but your behaviour is making this family fall apart. So are you gonna keep your gob of yours shut?" Lindsay didn't reply. Her eyes welling up with tears.

Her father grabbed her tie and pulled her in closer. "Thats gonna be shut isn't it Lindsay? we can't have tell tales ruining everything.."

Lindsay managed to make the words come out

"Yes. i wont tell.." She was shoved back by her father, she began walking immediatly, wiping the tears from her eyes, she joined Emily and Rachel.

"Lindsay have you been crying?" Emily questioned

"What's wrong?" Rachel asked, she had stood up at this point.

"Can we just go back to school now please?" Lindsay said.

The car ride was once again long. Emily spoke to Miss Mason what her father had said to her, and Lindsay stayed silent. Rachel knew that she was not gonna be able to get through to her.

RACHEL POV

something isn't right.. i know it. That girl is so so lost, isolated. She feels alone i know it. I just can't put my finger on what it is.. i feel terrible. I should be there for her. Emily is fine, which is good. But even she has asked me questions about Lindsay.. What am i gonna do now?
