Thanks again to everyone who read and reviewed. I can't express how much it means to me.

Ghost of You

Part 2

Tracy wasn't aware of when it had happened, but morning had come. That horrible, stressful night was over. As was her father's life. She didn't remember anything that happened afterwards but somehow she was in the Coffee Shop. She looked around, seeing those who were sick reuniting with family and friends. She just couldn't handle it, so she left there as fast as she could.

Walking, almost running, through the halls, trying to find a place she could be alone. She barely noticed someone calling for her behind her. It was Dillon. He caught up and stopped her.

"Mom, hey I've been looking for you. You weren't at the coffee shop like Bobbie said. You okay?" Dillon asked worriedly. It finally hit Tracy, he didn't know. Did anyone know? Alan, Monica, or was she alone in this too.

"Where's Alan?" She asked in a small whisper.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him but I did see Monica a little while ago."

"So you do know." Tracy lowered her head, afraid to see that sympathetic look she knew she'd see in her son's eyes.

"Yeah. Actually she was looking for you too. Bobbie told both of us that you were with him when he...you know...well are you okay?"

"I will be." Tracy was couldn't take much more of this so she' changed the subject. "So, you seem better. Are they letting you leave?" Dillon knew very well what she was doing but he knew better than to fight her, not now.

"Yep and I can't get out of here fast enough. Want to come with me? Georgie's going to stay here and help out a little so I could use the company."

"Alright." The two began walking towards the nearest exit and Tracy looked at him and whispered, "Thank you." Dillon smiled and nodded.

They arrived at the Quartermaine Mansion not too long after. The whole ride there Tracy just stared out the window. How could this have happened, a man she always saw as strong, why, she thought. The car pulled into the driveway and Tracy got out of the car. Dillon sighed and watched her go then followed.

Tracy walked into the house and as she always did, walked into the living room, walked over to pour herself a drink. She wanted to drink away all the bad memories and pain. She was so lost in her thoughts she never noticed her brother Alan sitting on the couch. He watched his younger sister, fully aware of what had happened.

"Thirsty?" Alan asked and Tracy jumped.

"Where did you come from? I thought you were at the hospital." Tracy asked and Alan sighed.

"Are you okay?" Alan asked and stood up, walking over to where Tracy was standing.

"How do you think I am?" Tracy replied. Alan pulled her into a hug. Tracy returned it and rested her head against him. Sure they didn't always get along but she always knew she cold count on him when it mattered most and that was definitely now.
