15-Dallas' Problems

She looks okay to me, Tom." Geoff smiled; glad he could help the two. He placed his trusted torch back onto his desk. There wasn't anything more Geoff could do for them, though, Dallas was fine.

Geoff was now a full qualified doctor with his own office at the base of the hospital where he took care of things that weren't enough of an emergency for the hospital to deal with, such as Dallas' case now.

"Are you sure?" Thomas asked, wanting only the best for his favorite girl. "I don't think she is..."

Geoff smiled, almost chuckling at the concern that Thomas was showing. He knew that deep down Thomas did have a beating heart; it was just covered up quite well.

"Listen to me, Tom." Geoff spoke clearly. "Dallas is fine. Maybe she just had a funny spell or something, but whatever it was, it's gone. Dallas is fine." He repeated the last line, hoping to get it across to Thomas.

"Speaking of things going, can I leave now?" Dallas asked, having been seated and listening to the two this whole time. "I'm not sure how long I trust Jen and Tiger alone with Jack-Jack."

"That is a perfectly good reason, you can go." Geoff told her.

Dallas smiled her thanks, getting to her feet from the chair in the office. Thomas sighed in defeat and held his hand out to Dallas, but she just walked straight past it. Things weren't for the best with the two of them yet.

The two walked in silence for a while, right until they were back inside Scarlatina's gates. Dallas was feeling awkward and Thomas just wanted things to work out between them.

"Thank you." Dallas half-smiled, not sure if she should have said those words or not, but Thomas did appreciate it.

"For?" He asked, though, not quite sure.

Dallas stopped walking and Thomas did the same. She turned to face him, her face dead straight, and her eyes looking tearful, "For looking out for me." She told him. "No one else would have gone through the trouble of taking me to get looked at, thank you." She got up on her tip toes, kissing his cheek in thanks.

It was true though, no one else had ever bothers with Dallas enough to get her thoroughly check over by a doctor before. Sure, Tom knew that she was a soothsayer, but he wanted to make sure that everything was fine with her too.

"Well, well, well..." Thomas and Dallas instantly moved apart, turning to face their worst nightmare. "Isn't this a heart-warming moment?" Olivia spat, her words cold and harsh.

"O-Olivia..." Thomas stuttered, in total shock of seeing his 'girlfriend' so close to the edge of the Scarlatinan gates. "What are you doing here?"

Olivia's eyes were narrowed down on Dallas now. At least now she knew what it felt like to be on the receiving end of things.

"Don't you remember hot stuff?" The dark haired girl asked. "We had a date tonight! But I guess you were a little too busy cheating on me!"

Thomas furrowed his eyebrows; he hadn't been cheating on her! Yet, at least...

"Excuse me?" Thomas spoke, "Me and Dallas-" But Olivia wasn't going to listen. Olivia should have known that this whole plan from the beginning was to get back at her for all the bad things she had done to him, even if that wasn't the proper plan, it was Thomas sub-plan in the end.

"Yeah, yeah, just friends." Olivia completed the sentence for him. "And do you honestly expect ME, of all the people, to believe that bullshit, Thomas?" Thomas didn't bother replying and Dallas didn't want to get caught in the middle of it. "Didn't think so..."

The three stood in complete silence for a few moments, no one wanting to say anything else. It was an awkward silence, but no one could walk away from it quite yet. There had been on threatening, but Olivia was going to change that one,

"Prepare yourself...We're hitting back twice as hard now..."

"OLIVIA-!" But she had already disappeared before Thomas had, had a chance to call out to her.

Dallas and Thomas were left to stand on the edge of Scarlatina, neither wanting to talk about what had just happened, but they needed to. But first things first, they needed to tell everyone else of what they had just witnessed.

Everyone should have been in a state of panic, but they weren't. Panic was not something they resolved to unless it was in times if dire needed to do such a thing.

Dallas was sat on the sofa, her eyes not blinking, but staring down sadly at the carpet, "This is all my fault..." She mumbled.

"No it's not." Annalise tried her best to comfort Dallas with her words, but it wasn't working. Dallas was forever going to believe that it was her fault.

"Maybe I should just leave again." Dallas suggested. "No point in me staying here if I'm no use! I am the cause of every single fucking problem!"

"DALLAS!" Rose screamed, hoping to get her out of her depressed and rambling mood. "None of this is your fault! You have done NOTHING! You're just caught in the middle because Olivia has put you there!"

Dallas groaned, falling to the side so she was lying on the sofa now. Her hair draped over her face, but she didn't bother to move it. The last thing she needed was for everyone to see how upset she was.

Dallas always tried to put up a tough exterior, but she was just a scared little girl on the inside, much like all of the girls in the room. She never let anyone see her cry or ever showed any weakness, but it hurt. It all hurt so badly for her.

"What we need is a miracle..."

"What we need is a plan." Thomas corrected his sister.

"What we need is back-up!" Celia told everyone, finally moving out of her statue mode. She had been sat in the exact same place for at least an hour, thinking a lot of different plans over in her head.

Everyone turned to face Celia; back-up?

"What we need to do is call in as many people as we can who will help us when all hell breaks loose."

That was the worst idea anyone had ever heard, so they all sighed and went back to thinking about their own plans. All hell wasn't about to break out, this wasn't another Tracker war. This was a fight between them, Olivia and Fiona.

"You're going to be crowned Queen in two weeks, do something!" Thomas hissed to his cousin.

Carmen's own eyes weren't blinking as she stared bluntly at her reflection in the mirror that hung on the wall above the fireplace. There wasn't anything she could do or say at that moment that was going to change anything that was happening.

"I told my mother I could do this on my own..." She shook her head, only showing that she had been wrong all along. "But I can't..."

"It's an amazing day when the future Queen of Scarlatina gives u before she's even tried." Rosie snapped harshly, she wasn't one to think of other people's feelings from her own point of view. "And what happens next time, huh? When you actually are Queen..."

Carmen quickly turned around, seeing all eyes on her now, "Don't you get it?" She asked. "I don't want to be Queen! I never have and I never will!" No one was shocked, of course they all knew that Carmen didn't want to be Queen, "But that is something I can't change...I have to become Queen no matter what I want...And I don't really want to do this anymore."

The Princes quickly rushed from the room before anyone could talk to her. Drake got to his feet with speed and followed his wife. Maybe he could at least try and calm her down.

But it was true, though. Carmen had never wanted to become Queen, she had been forced into everything her whole. It was just her destiny; her whole life was planned out ahead of her. She had no say.

"What's the point in fighting anymore?" Abigail asked, throwing the book she had been reading aside. Everyone else was thinking and feeling the same.

"Because fighting shows that you're not giving up." Dallas replied. She was slowly sitting up, brushing her hair back into place with her fingers. She wasn't about to give up on herself, she wasn't about to give up on everyone else.

"But we are." Annalise told her.

"No, we're not." Dallas replied quite sternly. "Giving up means losing, do we really want to lose? I may absolutely hate being here right now, but I'm not going to be a loser, and neither are you guys!" Dallas had a fair point; losing was not what they were aiming for.

"I may not have been here since day one, but all of you have." The girl was on a roll now, she wasn't about to give up anything else. "So Carmen is feeling a bit pressured, do you always need to look to her for help? Can't we all just get by with each other this once?"

Everyone kept exchanging glances to one and other, all knowing that Dallas was right. They did depend too much on Carmen. She may have been the leader, but they all needed to take charge themselves for once.

"I'm not giving up!" Dallas kept on talking. "I can move once again once we're all done here...We may have won the battle, but the war hasn't even started."
