Thabo jumped up and rushed over to where Alice was stood, placing himself slightly in front of her, standing as tall as he could to try and protect her. Alice placed her hand on Thabo's arm and gently pushed him to the side, he looked down at her questioningly but she just nodded.
"It's ok..." Alice told him quietly.
"No it's not!" Thabo demanded, "Look at what you've done!" Thabo growled, "Happy are you? Danny's in a coma, Alice is in pieces, the family, including Liv no doubt heartbroken too!" Thabo shook his head.
"Well... it's not my fault!" Evan shouted, "It's..."
"Don't shout." Alice spoke up looking back at Danny, "He hates shouting..."
Evan disregarded her and continued, Alice sighed as she watched the two boys arguing. Thabo was standing up for her, she knew that, but she couldn't make out a word the pair were saying. Her thoughts were well and truly with her husband, god, Evan didn't even stop when he was stood in Danny's room.
"You act like your God, Evan!" Thabo growled, "You think you have so many problems and I'm not saying you've not had some bad times but come on! You're twenty one!"
"I don't need reminding of my age!" Evan barked back, "And yeh, I have problems, it's all I've ever had! What would you know?"
"More than you think!" Thabo replied walking forward, Alice was still stood watching them, temporarily frozen.
"Yeh right!" Evan laughed, "You had to grow up without a mum through your teen years?"
Thabo's eyes darkened even further, red was flooding his mind. Alice saw him tense and finally walked forward, placing her hand on his shoulder. He looked down at her, his top lip quivering slightly with anger. Alice patted his arm gently.
"Evan... please, just go." Alice pleaded with him, her voice was hoarse and scratched. Her eyes lacked any spark, they were dull. Maybe if Evan had been thinking straight, he'd have seen the difference in her, but he wasn't...
"And what if I don't?" Evan goaded, "He's..."
"I grew up without a mum too! In fact, I barely remember her!" Thabo exclaimed, "Happy now?"
"Not really! It's all your fault we're in this position, yours and Alice's!" Evan exclaimed, "You come here, tearing the family apart! If anyone took Danny, it's not that gang, it's you Alice!" He shouted in her face, tears sprang to her eyes and Alice's eyes flashed up towards him.
"Get out." Alice said in a low and dark tone.
"You heard her! Out! YOU have torn the family apart. Now do one before I do something I regret!" Thabo pushing Evan. Evan looked at him but decided against argument and stormed out of the room, slamming the door loudly leaving a shaking Thabo and an even more broken Alice.
