A/N: So ... what do you think? :)
Claude sat up stiffly, from weariness and soreness. "Alex, as your father *sigh* I believe that it is fair that is only fair that i send you back home - I would hate to see your education suffer at the cost of me". Alex was shocked and worried about how much her father had actually heard her say, realistically she felt hurt - if he heard that, then why was he acting so cold? She was willing to defend herself but she knew that she would regret it and plus he was too sore and tired. Alex went to run out of the room when four words sent shivers down Alex's spine "I love you too". Alex gasped and turned around to face her father with tears springing into her eyes and then shot out of the room.
Alex was not looking at anyone's face as she ran through the hospital corridor, she even ran passed her own half-brother who immediately noticed the tears streaming down her cheeks. Finnian was unsure who to go to first - Claude or chasing after Alex. So many dramatic thoughts were rushing through Alex's mind like what if Claude was attacked in hospital? or what if the nasty doctor abused her father? Alex sat in the hospital lobby trying to act happy and normal by flipping pages of a gossip magazine. Finnian decided to chases Alex but after entering the lobby, he could not see her - all he could see were doctors, elderly persons and a person with a magazine coving their face.
"I am sorry Claude, I couldn't find her. I looked but I just couldn't see Alex, i saw her run past me but she disappeared when I went after her. Mr Faustus, umm *nervous chuckle* may i be informed on what happened to make her cry?" Claude reached over and put his glasses on and stared at the ceiling to build suspense for Finnian "I told her that she would have to go back to school ... for her own good! Just because I am injured does not mean I need to bring her down with me" Finnian wanted to argue and defend his sister but felt intimidated by Claude but he attempted anyway "maybe she really cares for you sir, like father before education, she wants to stay with you". "Look Finnian, she told me that she loved me - I guess I chose the wrong timing, I assume she has turned on me but I wont have her education suffer". Finnian decided that he would go back with Alex (he was starting to become mad at Claude), Alois would stay behind to assist his butler.
So, it was shaping into a plan - Claude had phoned up Sebastian who passed a message onto Bardroy (Phantomhive chef) seeing if he would be willing to give Alex and ?Finnian a lift, he said 'yes'.
Alex was devastated, how could her father be so cold with his 'education approach', especially with no warning ahead. She began to pack final items, from the cabin she was staying in, into her bag all while shedding tears. She heard a car door slam shut in the driveway. "oh no, it can not possibly be that time yet" she whispered to herself. Alex slowly opened the front door which revealed Bardroy dressed sharply in his chef uniform. On the inside, Alex felt like she was going to slam the door shut in Bardroy's face but remained calm on the outside. An awkward silence passed "hey, are you ready to go? the young master and Sebastian are expecting us for dinner" Alex nodded and a tear fell down down her cheek. Finnian had made an appearance with his bags, Alex had kept a distance inside the cabin - Finnian could tell she needed time out for herself.
Once Alex had passed Bardroy, he grabbed her left hand and pulled her into a tight hug. Finnian watched on - a little confused but found it really sweet. "waaaaaah, I don't want to go! I don't want to leave my father, I don't want to leave my Mother, I will miss Alois. I'm just not ready to go yet! *sniffle* Could Finnian and I at least say goodbye to our mum and if there's time, say goodbye to my father?" Bardroy happily agreed to do so.
