Short chapter, enjoy x


Christian barrelled through the apartment, looking furious as Ana followed him, shouting his name to try and calm him down and stop him from what he was about to do. He stormed into Jess's room with such anger that the door banged against the wall and she sat up sharply, looking bleary and confused 'wha..?'.

She saw the burning anger in Christian's eyes and tapered off before he started shouting 'Why? Jess, tell me why?'. She looked dazed and confused 'I don't know what you're talking about'.

Christian stepped forward, eyes dark and his voice low 'the money, to Marcus and your mother, I know- the bank have just rung me to check everything was normal. You have ten seconds to explain what the fuck you were thinking'.

Jess blinked and sat up more in her bed, looking at a loss of what to say as she stood up, looking almost scared 'Christian, it's not what you think-'.

'Then explain to me what it is, because from this angle, it's looking pretty fucking bad'.

Jess shook her head and got out of bed, wearing grey pyjama shorts and a Mariner's top 'please Christian, just calm down!'.

He looked livid and whatever Ana was about to say wasn't audible over Christian's shout to his terrified looking daughter

'DON'T TELL ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN! Jess these people have ruined your fucking life and you're giving them money? Money that I gave you to look after your son and live in my house and be comfortable and happy- but apparently you've got other people that matter more, eh? Go on, try and fucking explain this away'.

Ana looked horrified, touching his arm 'Christian stop, you're scaring her- she's just a kid'.

He was breathing heavily still but his voice lowered slightly, not shouting anymore but his voice still full of anger 'ten seconds Jess, explain'.

Jess looked terrified and on the verge of tears, her eyes full of fear as she opened her mouth to speak but closed it again before finally managing quiet words 'Please, don't be like this, I can explain- it's not what you think'.

Jess held her hand to her forehead, clearly dealing with a headache 'I didn't just 'give' them the money okay'.

Jess pushed past Christian and stormed out in to the main room, holding her head as she turned back to Ana and Christian, who had quickly followed her out 'please, can we not do this now, I've got a splitting headache and my son is going to wake up if he hears any more shouting and I've got a test tomorrow'.

Ana stepped forward, vaguely noticing that Gail and all the other staff had conveniently made themselves scarce 'Jess, honey, all we want to know is why you are giving money to Hailey Cole and Marcus, alright, we're not going to shout anymore, okay?'.

Jess looked dizzy, still holding her head tightly and Christian moved towards her, looking genuinely concerned 'have you got a headache?'.

He was shocked that she jumped away from him, looking scared and he inwardly kicked himself for shouting at her with such venom before

'I'm not going to shout at you again Jess, okay, but you look like you could do with some Asprin and some water, alright? I just want to know why you are giving money to Marcus of all people, after what he did to you-'

Jess winced, holding her head with what was clearly splitting pain before falling sharply to the floor, her head hitting the marble floor before she began to twitch and convulse, her eyes rolling back in her head.

Immediately Christian and Ana moved a cushion from the nearby sofa under her head and turned her on her side as Grace had told them to do when she had seizures.

They glanced at each other as the convulsions started to lesson a minute or two later, but her eyes were unfocussed, and her eyelids were slowly closing.

Christian looked up as Ana muttered his name and he followed her line of sight, seeing the dark mark on the cushion under Jess's dark hair, knowing immediately it was blood. He felt an overwhelming feeling of guilt come over him and looked up as Ryan seemingly appeared from nowhere, practically falling over his feet as he hurried into the room.

'Taylor's already called 911- saw the CCTV'.

Christian blinked, he wasn't in the frame of mind to think about it but he was unbelievably grateful of his staff at that point.

Ryan came over to them and dropped to his knees, pulling off the dark grey jumper he was wearing over his white shirt and pressed it against Jess's head.

'It helps to stem the bleeding a little, it doesn't matter how many times you learn first aid, it all goes out the window when it's your daughter'.

Christian was incredibly pale and Ryan glanced up 'Grey'. Christian didn't move and Ryan spoke louder 'Christian'. He looked up, surprised to hear Ryan use his first name

'Christian, she's not bleeding too heavily, the ambulance were called the second she hit the floor, the only thing either of you can do for her right now is keep calm and be here for her alright?'.

Christian and Ana both nodded, looking down at their daughter, who wasn't making any movement or responses at what was going on.
