The anger that now flowed though me had replaced the feelings of loss and despair, that doctor had at least done one thing right; that was reawakening the thoughts I should be having. Finding the fool who'd jumped Lily, and making them regret it. If there was one thing I would see to even if it killed me, it was making that person pay dearly. The second thought to drift into my mind was the fact that he knew, I had told him in a fit of scared rage. He now knew something that not even Francis knew the whole story of, thoughts began running though my mind; I knew without doubt I would end up regretting telling Ronald Kray about my condition.
My eyes suddenly intensified at the thought of finding the person behind Lily's attack, if it was as the last thing I did, I would make sure they regretted ever laying a finger on Lily. With a sound that can only be described as that of an angry dog snarl, I stormed from the cubicle I was currently using and marched from the toilets. I wasn't going back to Lily's room I couldn't, I knew they would all still be there, and by now Ron would have spilt the beans on my mental state. I didn't have the energy to to face Francis's questioning face or confused manner. No as much as it upset me to leave without saying goodbye to Lily, I could always come back later. Besides while it was back in my mind, I had to find out who'd done this to Lily.
Without really thinking about my next move, I found myself outside the hospital my eyes scanning mysurroundings. Where do I start? Where do I go from here? I had no clue how to start figuring out Lily's last moves, I knew for a fact no one was going to step up and say yes it was me. Then a horrible thought hit me, I won't be able to do this without the twins influence. With a frustrated groan I threw my head back and padded back into the hospital, might as well get it over with.
"Alex! I was getting worried, where did you go?" Asked a panicked Francis as I entered Lily's room, I scowled slightly not looking forward to the inevitable conversation.
"Just the rest room" I replied softly playing with the hem of my shirt, my nervous eyes moved and locked onto an understanding Ronnie's. He hadn't told anyone, I offered a small smile and was relived to receive one in return.
I said my goodbyes to Lily and kissed her forehead tenderly, before moving a strand of dark hair from her face. I wouldn't openly admit it to anyone, but I was scared no terrified that this was it. What if Lily didn't came back? I shook my head lightly and pinched the bridge of my nose, if that was the case who ever had done this to her will go down with her.
A shadow suddenly appeared over my shoulder and blocked out any light, I stiffened and turned my head to the side to see Ronnie stood there, hands in his pockets glancing around the room.
"Your secret is safe with me love" he said in his slurred speech before patting my shoulder softly and turning to leave the room after Reg and francis who'd already left "oh and Reg and I will help find out who put Lily there, as soon as we do you'll be the first to know" he finished before nodding slightly and leaving the room.
I stayed for a moment stroking Lily's cheek affectionately, at that moment I vowed that the moment I found out who'd done it and anyone who was involved, I would kill them no questions asked. With that I turned and left the room quietly.
