Chapter Three

John-Paul entered the room yet again, Niall did leave. Though he left on a bad note, a very bad note. He sat on the chair once again as he held back onto his hand which felt cold and lifeless. He couldn't believe what Niall said but why would he lie? He needed Kieron to wake up so he could tell him the whole truth. He got another call from Craig and he thought it be best to answer...

"Craig...It's really bad timing...You do know what happened right?"

"No...All I know is that you were suppose to tell choir boy that things were over...Remember?"

"He's not a choir boy...Look...I'm sorry about before but Kieron needed me..."

"Whatever...Need you for what exactly? Bed?"

"No! How could you even think that? I love you...But Kieron's in hospital"

"Oh I'm sorry...I feel awful now...How is he?"

"In a coma...He had an overdose Craig and all you can do is judge him"

"I didn't know...An overdose? I never knew he took drugs"

"Neither did I...He doesn't though...His drink must have spiked..."

"In his own house?"

"I don't know Craig! Please...I just called you to tell you that I won't be coming back to you...I'm sorry"

"You're kidding me right? I'm sorry he's in a coma but that doesn't mean you owe anything...Pity is never the key to an everlasting relationship..."

"It's not pity...I care so much about him and I was gonna get married to him"

"Untill I came back..You love me and you know it..Surely...You just feel sorry for Kieron and I understand that but it's not fair on any one of us"

"I don't need this right now...It's be best if you don't call me again...Not until the dust settles anyway"

"Great...I guess I see you around John-Paul"

John-Paul put the phone down in anger. He sighed, he didn't really want to do that but he didn't think he had an option. His eyes went back towards Kieron and he looked like he was a peaceful sleep. It would feel wrong leaving him like this since he doesn't have many friends and his family never bother. He doesn't think he has ever done this before but John-Paul started to pray. Pray for him to get better.

...

"You're back soon" Mercedes pointed out as her two sisters and mother entered again.

They looked between one another before sitting down on the couch. They gave her a smile before looking towards the television. Tina got out her phone as she texted John-Paul and for him to tell her if anything changes.

"If John-Paul knocks...Don't let him in" Myra just spoke without explanation, her eldest daughter pulled a face slightly.

She walked over towards the couch.

"What has he done now?" Mercedes asked in a tiresome tone, her family love the drama.

If she had a penny for every time their family had a 'break' from each other than she be a millionaire. She thought about what would be worse than sleeping with the family priest and taking away his job...What would be the next step above that?

"Between you and me...He cheated on Father Kieron with Craig and I can't forgive him for that right now...This is too far" Myra insisted.

Carmel tutted as the thought.

"That's all?" Mercedes asking resulting in getting stares from her sisters and mother.

She didn't think it was a big idea. It wasn't like nobody in her family cheated before however perhaps this was a little different. Since he took away a big part of his life and it's not like Kieron is just going to go onto the next person. He's not like that.

"This is different Mercy...It's not like you cheating on Russ...He took away his rights to work for the church. It's not like Kieron would go onto the next person. He's not that type of guy and he can't go back to how things use to be either" Myra reminded her.

...

John-Paul fell asleep on the chair besides the bed. He has been their for a good few hours and so far,nothing has changed. He was awoken by a confused and panicked voice as it kept saying...

"I can't see"

He snapped out of his sleep when he realized it was Kieron awake however he wasn't peaceful like expected. He kept insisting that he couldn't see as he felt around. He didn't have a clue where he was.

"Hey...It's okay...I'm here...Sweetheart" John-Paul spoke softly as he held onto one of his hands.

Trying to calm him though it wasn't exactly working.

"I can't see a thing...This is my punishment isn't it? I saw my life flash before my eyes and he spared me...Then took away my sight...I suppose it's a blessing in disguise...Though" Kieron was cut off.

"Stop...Look I'm going to get a doctor okay...You're going to be fine I promise" John-Paul spoke with uncertainty.

He kissed the top of his head before going to find a doctor. Kieron wasn't exactly calmed by this as he carried on in panic. He felt around and could only make out a small number of things. He heard the door open and started to panic again as his thoughts turned to Niall.

"Kieron...Calm down please...Sweetheart" John-Paul spoke as he grabbed him softly, trying to calm him again.

The doctor wasn't entirely sure what caused this blindness. He needs to run some tests however the drugs were the reason. His sight will come back eventually but when is a question they cannot answer.
