Claire walks into the hospital and Jake asks her to leave, she refuses and runs towards H's room. When she gets in there H isn't moving and both his arms are hanging off the bed, Claire screams and Jake comes in. Jake sees H and presses the emergency call button, more doctors come running in and fit him up to machines.
Claire goes outside the room and waits she can't bare to see him like he is. After a short while Jake comes out with a worried look on his face, he tells Claire that H has fallen into a coma and his chances are unknown but probably wont be good. Claire starts to cry even more and Jake puts his arm around her. Claire throws his arm off of her.
Claire: Don't touch me.
Jake: Claire come on, be reasonable.
Claire: Just leave me alone will you Jake. I can't see why Gemma and Nina like you so much.
Jake: Claire she's your mum. You should call her that.
Claire: Not any more she's not.
Jake: Your mum doesn't know that you've been in here recently does she.
Claire: No and don't start threatening to tell her either. To be honest with you I don't care if you tell her.
Jake: I'M...........
Claire pushes past Jake and goes and sits next to H and holds his hand, her tears drip onto his hand.
Claire: H please wake up I need you. I love you so much.
Of course Claire doesn't expect him to reply but she carries on talking to him as the doctors said it would be good for him and that he may be able to hear her. Claire is just falling asleep when she hears the door opening, she turns and looks at the door and two police officers are standing there staring at her. Claire feels her heart sink and tears filling in her eyes.
Police: Miss Richards?
Claire: Yes that's me.
Police: We had a call saying that you are being abused by your boyfriend but are too scared to report him to us.
Claire: What? That's bullshit.
Police: Can you please let us look at some of your bruises?
Claire: NO!
Claire stands up and her top comes up slightly the police see the large bruise she has on her stomach from where Lisa hit her. Claire also has bruises all over her back from where she was shoved against the wall but she wasn't telling them about that.
Police: That looks nasty. Have you had it looked at?
Claire: Yes.
Police: Come on just make a statement against him and then you wont have to be scared of him any more.
Claire: It wasn't him ok. He doesn't hit me, he wouldn't. He loves me.
Police: There's no point denying it.
Jake enters and walks over to Claire who is crying. He holds on to her waist and Claire screams.
Claire: Jake don't that hurts.
Jake: Sorry. Now what's going on?
Claire: My parents rung the police and told them H beat me up.
Jake: I think your right there Claire you dad did tell H that if he didn't end it with you he would ring the police. But I think you better talk to the police about what did happen.
Claire: NO. I DON'T WANT TO. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OK.
Claire runs from the room crying leaving Jake and the two police officers looking extremely worried.
