Like Mother Like Daughter
Chapter 25
Claires POV
'So can I have it..?' I ask as Amelie stared at me. I was in her office asking her if I could buy the founders house which was only a block away from the Glass house. She hasn't seen me in two years so I wasn't putting my hopes up.
'Fine, I'll let you have it. On one condition.' She says lifting up her pale finger.
'Whats that?'
'You go to work with Myrnin.'
'With Myrnin? Wow. I..I guess I could...' I stutter. I can't believe she was asking me to go back to Myrnin. After all I haven't seen him since me and Eve were sent away with Daniel and Alyssa when they were four.
'Hes missed you, Claire. Very much so indeed. He has been lonely and not himself since you left. I think it would do you both some good if you got back to working with him again my dear'
I nod and force a smile to show I wasn't too disapointed about the catch of buying the house. But now at least I can stay with Alyssa and Shane.
I thanked Amelie and got in my car to drive home. As I pulled up outside the Glass house I noticed a police car parked outside. I narrowed my eyebrows to confirm to myself that yes, it was a cop car. I quickly grabbed my bag and ran inside to find Shane, Michael and Eve sat on the sofa infront of Richard Morrell.
'Whats going on?' I ask as I walk into the living room, all eyes were on me.
'I dont know. He came about five minutes ago' Shane says bringing his eyes to meet Richard.
'Claire, sit down. I'm glad you are here, now I can tell you why Im here...' I sit down next to Shane and look at him with worried eyes.
'Its about Alyssa..' Richard started
'Whats she done? She hasn't done anything bad has she?' Shane says in a panicked tone. I place my hand over his and give him a don't start anything look.
'No, she hasn't done anything bad. We got a phone call..' Richard began, 'It was from Daniel. We didn't know what was wrong but we went down to TPU campus and in the Physical Education building it seemed that Alyssa was attacked. By...by my neice, Lola.'
'Wow, wow, wow. Hold up! Alyssa was attacked? By Monica's daughter? What are you talking about? I say starting to panick like Shane was. I could feel his hand tensing under mine.
'Let me finish.' He says. 'Now when we got there, paramedics were already trying to stablise Alyssa. She was unconcious. Police arrested Lola and Daniel didn't want to talk to us to tell us what happened. Therefore we don't know if he had a part in the attack either-' Richard was cut of by Michael standing his ground.
'Wait a second! You think my son would attack his own girlfriend?! Plus he is the one that rung the cops in the first place. Im pretty sure that if he was apart of it too then he wouldnt of called you!' Michael says. He starts to walk towards Richard but Eve grabbed his hand and lowered him back onto the sofa, giving him the same look I gave to Shane.
'Don't worry. We havent arrested him. Daniel is at the hospital. If you would like to see Alyssa, you can go to the hospital and a doctor would tell you what happened to her. But right now I have to go to the station, I got a call that I need to tend to.' Richard says standing up and walking to the door. I murmer a 'thankyou' as he walks out the front door.
I begin to cry into Shanes chest and he puls me close. I can feel him sobbing by the way he is breathing. Eve is crying too. Shes got her head burried into the crook of Michaels neck and Michael is whispering soothing sounds to her.
I pull myself away from Shanes grip and let my eyes meet his tear stained face.
'We should go to the hospital' I say wiping my eyes and sniffling hard. Shane nods and Michael picks Eve up and settles her down on the ground. Eve wipes her face and takes Michael by the hand.
We all pilled into Michaels vamp car. Eve was in the front with Michael and me and Shane were in the back. It was dark outside. Seen as though its winter and it gets dark earlier so thank god we have Michael.
We arrived at the hospital and Shane literally ran to the front desk.
'We need to see Alyssa Collins. Im her dad' He says panting while the woman at the reception desk types things into her computer.
'She is in the intensive care unit. Room 223' The woman says with a smile. Intensive care. My baby was in intensive care! Why didn't Richard tell us!
We all ran into ICU to find a doctor waiting outside of the room 223. He looked up as we stopped right next to him.
'You must be Mr and Mrs Collins.' He says as he writes things down on his clipboard. Me and Shane both nod and he tells us to go into the waiting room to wait for him to come and talk to us.
We walk inside the waiting room and the only person in there was Daniel who was sat with his head in his hands.
'Daniel!' Eve shouts as she runs up to him and enlopes him in a hug. Daniel looks up and his face is red and puffy from crying. My heart melted when I saw him. He must be so scared for his girlfriend. He loves her so much and he would never do anything like this to her.
'Are you okay?' Michael says as he kneels to Daniels hight. Daniel just nods and doesnt look anybody in the eye, was he hiding something? I didnt bother asking because this was an emotional time for us all and we didn't need arguments right now.
Just then the same doctor who was outside of Alyssa's room came in and gave us a small but saddened smile.
'Alyssa Collins?' He says confirming that we were her parents.
'Yes, thats us. Please tell me she is okay?' Shane says pulling me into a hug. I could only look at the doctor with hope filled eyes but I knew what he was going to say wasnt going to make me smile.
'Well..'
