A/N I'm sorry if I haven't up dated in a long time. To make it up I'm posting 3 chapters today.
Chapter 7 - Things get dark - Two days till wedding
[ring. Alison goes to pick up the phone
Alison :Hello? Hi, Mrs Winterbottom. How's my father?...what?...is he? Going to be alright. (exhales) Fine. Goodbye.
Teddy : Hi, honey. (sees Alison crying) Hey, what's the matter?
Alison : Teddy, my father's very sick. He's been drinking to much and now he's unconscious. He's not dead, he's breathing, thank god. But soon he'll be... we have to cancel the wedding. Put it off. I have to see my father now...
Teddy : Alison...
Alison : I know you were looking forward to it but I have to...
Teddy : Alison...
Alison : Don't tell me to forget about it because I can't. Okay...I'll
Teddy : Alison!
Alison : WHAT!
Teddy : The wedding's put off. I understand. Everyone has been called except Zick, Elena and Lay. I wanted you to call them yourself. It's okay.
Alison : Wow, you're fast.
Teddy : I'm going to follow you back to New York. To visit your father.
Alison : (weakly) Okay.
Teddy : Don't worry. He's going to be fine.
Elena : (Holding handphone) Oh my god, Zick!
(Run next door)
Elena : Zick! Lay! I'm glad I found both of you here, Ali's on the line. She's got something to tell us.
Both : (listen on loudspeaker) WHAT!
Alison : You heard me. The wedding's put off. Until further notice.
Zick : This can't happen. Wait. Why's the wedding put off?
Alison : (Sobbing uncontrollably)
Teddy : Maybe I'll take it from here. You go up to the room honey, get some rest. Bad news guys. Alison's father's very ill. (waits till Alison goes upstairs) (lowering his voice) Listen. I got another call from Miss Winterbottom, the Fuller's caretaker. Mr Fuller's got very little time left. He may not live till the wedding. I'll call you head first so you all can comfort her in case...
(On the plane)
Alison : I always wanted to see my father before we got married. But not like this.
Teddy : I know. Please calm down. He still has a chance.
(The Fuller's mansion)
Alison : Miss Winterbottom? Dad? It's me and Teddy.
An elderly lady came down wearing a maid's uniform and holding a duster in her right hand.
M.W : Alison? Oh this must be Teddy, nice to meet you dear.
Teddy : Nice to meet you too.
M.W : Your father's in the garden. Go a little easy on him. A shock might finish him off.
(in the garden)
Alison : Daddy? It's me.
Mr. Fuller : Ali ?
Alison : Yes daddy. Teddy's here too.
Mr. Fuller : Ah, Teddy. I hope that she's treating you well.
Teddy : (laughing) I know she is.
Mr. Fuller : Nice to know that you are all getting along.Now I feel that I can really leave knowing that my daughter is in good hands...(wheeze) (cough) Alison?
Alison : Oh god, Dad! Not now. Miss Winterbottom! Teddy , help!
Alison lays sobbing next to her dead father. Teddy comes in holding her father's will. Seeing her like that, tears fell down his cheeks. Dropping the will, he knelt down next to Alison, took her into his arms and kissed her forehead. They both embraced each other lovingly , knowing things will be alright, as long as they still have each other.
