Chapter 27:
James' POV-
I walked back into the hotel we were staying back and sighed. What a day. I mean I didn't wake up thinking 'today I'm going to witness an accident involving a fast moving car and one of my friend's pregnant fiancé'. That would have been weird.
"Where have you been? We heard there was an accident and we got worried." Connor explained and I sighed.
"I'm fine, I was at the hospital, but I'm fine. Paige on the other hand..." I trailed off.
"Paige, as in Ross' fiancé Paige?" Tristan asked and I just nodded.
"Don't forget that she was 6 months pregnant, hence why she fainted last night." I then added.
"She's pregnant?" Brad asked, slightly worried. What gotten into him? It's not like he's witnessed the whole accident now was it?
"Is. Was. I don't know what's happened. I mean the baby has more of a survival rate than Paige does, that I do know. Whether it's survived or not is anyone's guess. I don't know what's happened because I've decided to leave after realizing I'm not really helping. I mean I practically got yelled at by Ross for saying save the baby over Paige. I mean the damage that was done to her, I just hope she's okay. I've not heard anything from anyone yet." I explained to them all.
"How come you were there though?" Connor asked me.
"I witnessed the accident... she was hit by a car... speeding like you'd never know." I said and Brad's eyes widened.
"Wait, what? Was Ross with her? Was she alone or what?" He then asked, and I looked at him confused before shrugging my shoulders.
"She was alone, and to be honest, no one saw the car coming before it was too late. Why are you asking anyway?" I asked him.
"I-I just wondered, t-that's all." He stuttered.
"Are you okay, Brad?" Connor asked him.
"Unm. Yeah. Fine. 100 percent fine actually. I think I'm going to go to bed now, I'm rather tired." He said and I looked at the clock and back at him confused.
"It's only 8pm..." I trailed off and his eyes widened slightly.
"Yeah, well, I'm tired so goodnight." He said before walking off to his room. How strange is that?
"Has he been like that all day?" I asked Connor and Tristan.
"Well, yes and no. He did disappear this morning, and came back a couple of hours later... started acting a little strange here and there, like he was anxious about something. But he wasn't that bad until well just then." Tris explained to me and I nodded.
"Maybe... mhmm... maybe he's got a girlfriend that he doesn't want us to know about." I suggested and they nodded.
"Maybe, but if that was the case, why wouldn't he want us to know. I mean he has had girlfriends in the past and we've known about them since the moment he got with them to be honest, James." Connor then answered.
"Okay, boyfriend then." I then suggested. "I mean it's possible, you never know with that boy." I then added, shrugging my shoulders. With that I went to sit on the couch and turned on the TV.
-at the hospital-
Ross' POV-
"Is that your baby?" A voice asked from behind me, it was only Laura.
"Yeah, that's her." I answered and she just nodded.
"She looks so tiny and fragile..." She then trailed off.
"She does, and she's 3 months premature... It wouldn't of happened if Maia hadn't of hit her with the car at stupid speed... or if I had been entirely honest then the argument wouldn't of happened... I can't help but think this is my entire fault, Laura."
"Don't say that, it's not, Ross. It really isn't." Laura tried to reassure me, key word try.
"You weren't there, Laura! How can you even say that?! The only people who actually know about the accident is James, Paige, Maia and whoever it was that was helping her. I mean I doubt she'd go to the hotel and risk being seen. No there had to be someone helping her, and I'm going to find out who exactly it was helping her and I'm going to ruin their life as much as they have ruined mine." I explained to her. "Especially if Paige doesn't survive this."
"Really? What are you going to do which won't end with you behind bars, Ross? Huh? Because if you retaliate on this matter, you're on a one way ticket to prison and I don't want to see that happen to you." Laura then said.
"I don't care, Laura. This morning I woke up with my fiance in my arms and I was happy, now, she's practically lying on her death bed and I have a 3 month premature baby. This proves that things can change in a heartbeat... I don't care about them, I just want my revenge on them for doing this to me, my fiancé and my daughter. I've already had revenge on Rocky and Ell, now it's whoever else's turns, Laura." I explained to her and she sighed.
"Ross, think about this before you act. You're not going to be able to look after your daughter nor be there for Paige while you're behind bars. I mean this is the upset/anger talking. Ross, just leave it for a few days have a think about this. Think about what's more important too you. Revenge or your family because you can't have both." She explained to me and I just sighed. I hate it when she acts like a know it all like this.
"Alright, fine. I'll think about it for a few days, happy now?" I asked, almost sarcastically. The happy now, the think about it part I was being serious about.
"Yes, anyway what are you going to name her?" She then asked me.
"Name who?" I then asked and she just face palmed. I mean she did just randomly change the subject after all.
"Your daughter Ross, who else?" She then asked me.
"Well why didn't you say that! And I don't know yet, I've never had to name anything or anyone before. This is a new experience and besides, I have everyone helping me find the right name for her. I have no idea what Paige would want to call her, we've uh never really talked about having children before and I didn't know until today that I was about to become a father either so excuse me for being a little unprepared." I answered and she just sighed.
"Easy Ross, it's okay. I was just asking a simple question." She replied
"Except it's not just a simple question though isn't it? I'm naming a premature baby without the help of her mother. It's not your average daily question so don't treat it like it is, Laura." I simply said before walking out the room and out the hospital and heading back to the hotel. Man it's going to feel weird sleeping alone after getting used to sleeping with her next to me.
Maia's POV-
"Is she dead? I mean I'm sure I hit her hard enough to do so?" I asked the person on the receiving end.
"No, she's on life support, these next 24 hours are crucial to her." They responded and I just groaned.
"Are you freaking kidding me?! She's still alive? How!?" I exclaimed making a U turn back.
"I don't know, I'm not a fucking doctor, am I?! Nor am I someone that does operations on people to able them a chance a survival." They answered.
"Whatever, wait did you say the next 24 hours are crucial for her?" I asked with a smirk.
"Yes, but they're going to be with her the whole time so whatever you think you're going to do, you can't. Though, they have a concert they have to attend, and they have tried to get out of it but they can't. So, when they are all there, that's when you strike." They answered.
"Good enough for me." I replied.
"But there is one more thing you should know..." They trailed off.
"Well what is it?" I asked them and they sighed, obviously debating whether or not to tell me.
"She was pregnant."
-The next day-
Ross' POV-
I walked into the hospital and, judging by the look of them, they've been here the whole time and they looked happier?
"Ross! Where were you?! We've been trying to get hold of you all morning!" Rocky exclaimed to me.
"At the hotel, why? What's happened? Is it Paige? The baby? What?" I asked them.
"Well the doctor said that Paige is making great progress with her recovery, and they're hoping to bring her out of her coma by the end of the week as well as take her off life support. The baby's fine too, though she needs a name Ross." Riker explained to me and I smiled wide.
"She's okay?" I asked, making sure.
"She's okay, Ross." Rocky confirmed.
-Concert day-
Still Ross' POV-
"So we know what the set list is right?" Riker asked.
"It's the same as it's been for the whole tour, Riker, I think it's safe to say we do." Rydel answered.
"I'm just making sure; I mean all of us have a lot going on." Riker replied to her and she just rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, well whose fault is that, huh?" She asked, glaring at Ell and Rocky and this time it was my turn to roll her eyes.
"Get of your fucking high horse. There's a hell of a lot of things worse then being cheated on, Rydel. Your first boyfriend cheated on you so what? It wasn't going to last anyway so stop being a big baby over the situation and get over it. Things can be a lot worse but they're not. Think yourself lucky and get over him. If you really did love him you'd let him go, you can tell he's happy with Rocky from over a mile away. He's moved on it's about time you did instead of being a big baby when things don't go your way." I exclaimed to her and she sighed.
"I'm sorry Ross... I know things could be a lot worse..." She trailed off and I rolled my eyes once again.
"Sorry doesn't undo what happened to Paige does it? Sorry just doesn't cut it this time." I simply said before getting my guitar and walking towards the stage.
-Hour later-
"So, here's the next song of the night for ya'll, here's If I Can't Be With you." Riker explained before Rydel started playing on the keyboard. I sighed briefly before starting to sing on my cue.
I don't wanna be famous,
I don't wanna if I can't be with you
Everything I eat's tasteless
Everything I see don't-
Then I realised, I couldn't sing this... it relates too much of everything going on right now... so what did I do... I ran... through the crowd, luckily they moved out the way, and it was an outdoor venue/ everyone I looked at had an confused look on their face.
"Well, it looks like we're taking an unscheduled break, uh yeah. Basically." I heard Rocky say but I just kept running... even when, I think, someone shouted my name and started to chase after me. I know I shouldn't have run out half way through the concert, but when you have things like your fiancé almost dying, having a 3 month premature baby on your mind, it makes sense.
"Ross, wait!" The same voice from before exclaimed and I did stop running, eventually. "What's up? I mean I know what's up but how come you just ran out of a concert, that's not like you." They then said and I sighed.
"I just couldn't do it any more... preforming. That song basically explains what it's going to be like for me if Paige does die. I know the doctors are saying that she's making a great recovery, but she's still on life support, anything could go wrong, Brad, I don't want to lose her." I replied and he sighed.
"Look Ross, you're just thinking the worse that could possibly happen..." He started.
"No, the worse that could happen is losing both my daughter and Paige." I interrupted.
"Haven't you got a name for her yet?" Brad asked and I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know...I have a few names in mind, but I always thought that she'd wake up before now and we can think of a name together... how stupid of me really, but I'm no good with names." I answered, shrugging once again.
"Amelia"
"What?" I asked him, confused.
"That's what you should name her, Amelia." He explained and I nodded.
"Amelia…. I like that name, thanks Brad!" I said and he smiled at me.
"You're welcome." He simply said before my phone rang. "You should probably get that… it's more than likely to be one of the others wondering where you are." He then added before I answered it.
"Hello?" I asked into the receiver.
"Hi, can I speak too Ross Lynch?" The person asked on the other side.
"This is him speaking." I answered back.
"Right… there is no easy way to say this so I'm just going to say it…" The person trailed off.
"What?" I asked
"I'm sorry for your loss."
And that's the reason why I've got the name of Satan 2 from this story. \o/
Oh and to be clear, the person Maia was talking too in this chapter, IS NOT the same person that helped her before. The person she was talking to is irrelevant. :3
Though to be honest, this chapter (I think!) makes it a little clear who was helping her before...
