Chapter 8
Worlds Shattering
Disclaimer: nope! uh-uh. Don't look at me....
Her bottom hurts. Two hours have already passed by since they wheeled him towards the E.R.
She was sitting beside him, rubbing his hand while she listened to the doctor. They said that his health was slowly deteriorating. That he wouldn't live much longer...
They had to cart him away because was having another attack.
"Honey?"
She looked up; her face was already crusted with tears. A nurse was sitting beside her.
"Oh honey! I'm sorry you're too young for this. Where's your family?"
"He's my only family.." she said silently. "c—could you help me?" She handed her the insurance papers.
The nurse smiled at her. "You don't need to worry...I'm going to help you get through this."
"Ms. Harper?"
Sydney sat silently as she listened to the doctor. As the words sunk, tears flowed out of her chocolate eyes.
It finally happened. Endless tears flowed down. She let the nurse hug her limp body tight as overwhelming emotions washed through her.
He was gone.
Draco watched as Althea stood in front of her mother's grave, clutching a basket of flowers.
He silently crept down the slope and back to the car. This is the first time she visited the grave. He quietly lit a cigarette and stuck it between his lips, inhaling its fumes.
Draco watched as another car pulled to a stop. A girl came out. He watched as an elderly woman hugged the girl. After the car vanished, he watched the girl slowly sink to her knees and cry.
He cocked his head as he tried to recognize the girl. He strode towards the crying figure, throwing the cigarette along the way.
It was her. He quickened the pace until he reached her side.
"Excuse me?" he said, kneeling beside her.
She brushed her hair away and looked at him. "It's you."
"Listen, about what happened yesterday."
"Oh that. I'm pretty sure its all a mix up." she said quietly. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks.
"Are—Are you okay?" asked Draco, hesitantly.
"Syd!" Draco looked over his shoulder and saw his daughter run towards the girl.
Althea helped the girl stand up. She pushed the girl's hair away and then hugged her tightly.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry, Sydney. What happened?"
Sydney. So that was her name. He stood up and brushed his pants.
Althea looked at her friends face, it couldn't have happened so quickly.
"He's gone...just this morning." whispered Sydney.
Althea's heart fell as she heard the news.
She looked at her father who was standing beside them quietly.
"You better take her inside." He mouthed, jerking his head towards the direction of the house.
A/N: think this is the shortest one yet.. exactly two pages... had to stop there. Next chapter, Syd's gonna be a lot lot older. I'm sorry if this chap's boring. It will get better, I promise.

Jellybean032888: at least now I know I'm not the only one. Hehe. Thanks! I really love those two...I wish they hadn't ended the Lizzie series so soon.
draco2chexi4u: I'm sorry this chapter's lame!!!!
KrystinePotterLover: thanks... This one isn't sweet...its horrible.
Malfomani: I'm an ignoramus. I don't know what a beta reader is. I'm sorry about the spelling and grammatical errors. I type this thing in the middle of the night with the lights out, (this atmosphere gives me the inspiration... to type emotional things. Its also because maybe my eyelids are beginning to drop.) nxt tym try my best to check it tom. Morn
C.C.: The Physical Change will happen on the nxt Chapter. Hope it makes you happy. Thanks again!
Sorry if this chap's bad, I'll try to do better nxt tym.
This is the result of sleepiness and writer's block combined.
