Behind Closed Doors
Chapter 6
Rachel stood at the door, stunned. She took in the surroundings she'd just opened the door and walked into.
There was her daughter, crumpled on the floor in a heap.
Her husband, Robert stood at the top of the stairs his hand held out. His face was a deathly pale. She didn't need to even ask what had happened.
Rachel ran to her daughter. Still laying motionless on the floor
'Phone, the god damn ambulance, Robert' she shrieked
Robert stood, at the top of the stairs in stunned silence.
He leapt into action, running to the master bedroom, practically leaping for the phone.
'Ambulance, please' he said in a hoarse voice
Rachel had been praying whispering, as she sat in the family room of the hospital.
Robert sat opposite, staring at something on the ceiling.
The ambulance had arrived earlier, Robert following after Rachel & Chloe in the ambulance.
All Rachel thought was.
Why did she have to fall?
Robert sat at the opposite side of Rachel.
He felt beads of sweat from on his forehead.
He was panicking.
If Chloe did come around, then she'd remember.
Remember how he'd grabbed her neck, and pushed her
How she's found him in bed with another woman
'Robert' Rachel croaked.
Robert didn't want to make eye contact with Rachel, he knew he had to.
'Yes' he said timidly
'What happened' she said softly
'Does she suspect' he thought, alarm bells rung in his head
Robert took a deep breath.
The door opened
Rachel jumped up, as a tired looking doctor, came in looking grim.
'Mr & Mrs. Grange?' he asked
'Yes' Rachel said, panicky
'I think you both need to sit down'
Rachel sat down, Robert sat back down opposite.
The Doctor seemed a little shocked, that they didn't sit together. Where as Rachel didn't even notice.
'Your daughter, had a blood clot, near her brain, with emergency surgery we've managed to remove it, But you daughter's still critical, But I don't see why she won't make a full recovery'
Rachel dissolved into tears. of relief.
'Thankyou Doctor, may we see her' she begged jumping up
'You may' he said politely ' But I must warn you she's slipping in and out of consciousness'
'Okay' Rachel said, mentally preparing herself.
It was a few days later, Every day Chloe seemed to be making a small step to recovery. She was incredibly drugged up, So sometimes she didn't even recognise her own mother, But sometimes on 'a good day'. She'd remember a lot of things.
Jess had been either baby sat, along with the twins, By Robert, Monica, Chandler or Ross. Who'd come over to help out, and to see Chloe.
On one day.
It was a mixed day for Chloe, she could talk well, and then start going a bit funny, starting to say odd things, whilst she slipped in and out of consciousness.
When she started to come out of her daze, slowly. She noticed Rob, & her mother.
'Get out' she screamed. Rachel jumped in her chair, she'd been reading, Rob had been looking at a magazine.
Rachel jumped up and grabbed Chloe's hand.
Tears formed in Chloe eyes
'Make him go away' she said sobbing
'Chloe, honey, That's Robert' Rachel tried to soothe Chloe.
'He hurt me. he pushed me' she screamed, tears running down her cheeks.
Rachel looked at her daughter, convinced that her daughter's medication was at its peak again
'No he didn't sweetheart'
But to Rachel's shock and Robert's horror Chloe seemed to come around more ad more.
'He could have killed me' she thought, angrily, Her mom deserved to know the truth.
The truth came tumbling out.
The attacks, The rape, The twins, the threatening speeches, the woman in his bed. And finally being pushed down the stairs.
Chloe sobbed as she relieved the whole nightmare, She remembered everything. She felt completely sane. It wasn't just the drugs talking.
For a minute, the only noise was the continuing sobbing of Chloe, in a hospital bed, While Robert, looking very pale stared at the ground.
Tears filled Rachel's eyes.
'Tell me it isn't true Chloe' she said softy, looking between Robert & Chloe
'I'm sorry Mom' Chloe kept repeating
'Robert' Rachel asked anger filling her voice 'Tell me it isn't true'
Robert knew he could lie, knew he could blame it on the drugs.
But he knew it was time to tell the truth.
'It's true' he said reluctantly
Review! So what happens find out soon!
