Chapter 6 – Fear and Agony
Today I had my first comment about my -non so satisfying I could say-story and that makes me write another chapter of that. So, here you are!
The next morning Nick went at the hospital to see Paige again and he found his sister sleeping on the floor near a chair.
"Car, hey Car wake up" He said surprised. He thought that their fight last night made his sister stay at that situation.
"Carly please wake up, why did you sleep in here"
"He came again, Nick he came again" She whispered intimidated.
"Who? Who came?" Nick asked his sister confused. When Carly was totally awake she thought about what happened last night and she decided to keep that moment secret. Although she was afraid she couldn't talk, not only because Bo had told her not to, but also she didn't want to worry her brother and especially Paige.
"Carly will you tell me? What happened? Who came and when?" Nick tried another time to take an answer from his sister but he failed.
"The doctor who wanted to see Paige" Carly tried to overturn what she had just said.
"And is this so bad? I mean wasn't he supposed to come?"
"No, it's ok. I was a little bit obsessive"
"Are you ok now?"
"Yeah Nick thanks"
"The doctor is going to have a last look on Paige and we are going to go home"
"Nick what about her parents?" Carly asked knowing that Paige's parents wouldn't like their daughter and her baby to live with them. They had never accept that situation.
"She will definitely live with us. We can't leave her alone now" Nick had shown, even the bad image he presented to others, that he was very reasponsible and that he would be a perfect father and husband. He hadn't talked to his sister about Vannie yet and he didn't know if he wanted to.
"Yes, I think so, but is it right?"
"Yes it is. I'm sure"
"Alright"
They ended their discussion and they headed to Paige's room.
"Good morning honey" Carly said to her friend who seemed to be better than yesterday.
"Hi…" Nick said with a warm smile, too.
"You seem much better today" Carly commented.
"I am…I saw my little girl today…Nick she is beautiful, you were so right!" Paige said to Nick who was sitting next to her.
"I told you that little blond goofy" Nick joked.
"I'm so happy you feel like that" Carly encouraged her friend.
"I'm happy, too. After all I gave Blake great importance and he didn't deserve it. I'll grow up my baby on my own"
"Not on your own, with us" Nick ended.
"What?" Paige asked quit surprised.
"Yes, with us" Carly smiled to her still surprised friend.
"Are you serious?" Paige asked her friends in disbelief. She didn't know what to say, how to thank them. They were willing to help her raise her child without having any responsibility. She was speechless.
"This child is gonna grow up with all of us. Next to Carly's and my children. And don't cry because I will cry, too" Nick said to Paige who was ready to tear. Carly walked closer and she hugged them, they did the same. They were ready to take their lives to their hands. But into all those things Carly was thinking about Bo. What was he going to do? She knew he was dangerous. He was haunting her life. But she didn't want to destroy the great atmosphere among them. She had to handle that, to be strong.
"We have to leave now. I want to go home" Paige said.
"What about the doctors?" Carly asked.
"They came early this morning. The only thing we have to do is to take my release card and go"
"I'll go take it" Nick said and left the room. Carly didn't really paid much attention and Paige had noticed that.
"Carly are you ok?"
"What?"
"I asked if you are ok…"
"I'm sorry I didn't hear that"
"I know you didn't hear that you act like you are not here. Please tell me what's your problem?" Paige really wanted to help her best friend but actually she had no idea about what was happening with her.
"Paige I'm fine, don't worry"
"Sure?"
"Yes….I'm sure. I'm sure. Carly told it twice because even she-herself- didn't believe that. The time had passed it was getting dark when Nick finally entered the room.
"I'm here girls at last, let's go" Nick interrupted.
"Perfect" Paige said because she wanted to leave that dull place.
"Let's go then" Carly said and left the room first.
"Nick, wait a minute, I think something happened to her and I am very upset" Paige informed Nick about Carly's bad attitude. But Nick was upset, too although he didn't show that.
"Did she tell you something?"
"No, she says she is ok"
"She is not. I found her sleeping here in the morning and she was very afraid. She tried to hide it but…anyway we'll see. Let's go now"
"Alright"
They left the hospital room and they returned home. They got in and Nick sat on the couch. Carly had gone directly to her room quit surly while Paige had firstly placed her daughter on the crib Nick had bought for her. She was so beautiful Paige thought. She was small she was still afraid to hold her. After that she sat with Nick for a while. Nick and Paige were worried about Carly.
"Your daughter is beautiful" Nick smiled to Paige and she did the same.
"She is but I worry about Carly"
"Me too"
"I need to sleep. Goodnight" She lifted to go to her bedroom.
"Oh Nick, thanks for the crib. I appreciate this"
"You are welcome. It is your house now and she is my nephew.
"Thanks. Goodnight"
"Goodnight Paige"
Nick was thinking about his sister again. She had changed since yesterday. Was it because of their fight? No, Nick thought. They had been fighting so many times. So what was her problem, her fear. Because She was not angry, she was he was sunken inside his thoughts and after the girls had gone to sleep he heard the door knocking. It was late.
"Who the hell is at 3:00 pm!"
He headed to the door. He opened but he couldn't believe in his eyes.
"Blake…what are you doing here?" Nick was angry and surprised at the same moment.
"Hi Nick, I felt the need to come…I was wrong…"
Paige was coming and she stood a few steps behind Nick.
"What are you doing here judas?"
"You don't belong here anymore Blake, you don't…" Nick said with his eyes misty.
