I fell to the ground... I felt nothing... Just emptiness...

Natalie's POV

'Ms Thompson!' Mark and I shouted, while she still was discussing things with Jeremy. 'Msss!' we tried again while I went beside her removed her scarf and lab coat… 'Mssss!'

'Just a second!' she replied to the commotion.

'Ms! Sera fainted!' Luke shouted again while Thompson noticed Sera's lifeless body on the ground.

'Go get the nurse' she ordered as she checked her pulse. 'Dammit it's weak.'

'What happened?' Nurse Mandy said as she saw her unconscious.

'Passed out.'

'Sera, can you hear me?'. She said while she damped a tissue and cooled her face. 'Call 911! NOW!' She ordered.

I was still in shock about what happened. I knew her secret and yet, I didn't tell anybody. What if I made it worse? What if I pushed her to the limit? Her face looks sunken… He chest bones and collar bones are protruding. This wasn't the Sera I knew… This is another person… someone that once was full of life and energy to give.

Christian's POV

'Mr Grey, you have a phone call.' One of my secretaries said.

'Pass it through.' I replied in a stern voice as my desk phone rang. 'Grey..'

'Mr. Grey, we're from St. Peter's school, calling on behalf of your daughter.'

'What happened?' I replied as panic rose in me.

'She fainted in class, her teacher called for an ambulance, she's been taken to the hospital now.'

'Dammit!' I replied. 'Thanks.' I continued as I hung up while I took my keys and dialled Ana.

'Pick up pick up pick up...' I continued on repeating, while I made my way out, where finally she picked up.

'Fuck Ana! Would it kill you to answer your damn phone?' I greeted.

'Wow! Way to greet your wife Christian! I was in a meeting... It just ended...'

'Listen I don't have much time, Sera fainted and the school called for an ambulance... She's still unconscious... I'm leaving for the hospital now...'

'What? How?' she asked in worry.

'I don't know... Listen go home and get her some clothes and pj's... ' I continued as I climbed my Porsche and started my car. '... I'll stay with her till you arrive.'

We arrived together and for once I truly looked at her. I stood there dumbstruck at what once was my daughter… She now had a fully emaciated body. I didn't notice about this... I was too self-loathed that I didn't even know what was going on... I passed my hands through my brown hair, and tears streamed down my face. I rested my back to the wall, where I saw both Taylor and Ana entering.

'What happened?' Ana asked as she saw me broken.

'She... She's in the emergency room' I replied weakly.

'How is she?'

'How could I not notice? How could I do this to her?' I replied broken, as I moved towards the vending machine.

'What are you talking about?' Ana followed along with Taylor.

'Go take a look for yourself...' I replied, while she did as she was asked.

I felt broken... I couldn't deal with the anger... I was too much caught up in whatever I was feeling that I didn't notice the self-destruction my own daughter did to herself. I held to the wall for support.

'Sir. Are you alright?' Taylor asked as me as he followed me.

I felt anger building up in me... I couldn't control anymore... I punched the wall, and Taylor quickly went in full protection mode. He held me and restrained me from doing any more damage, and slowly dragged me out.

'Sir, you need to calm down!' Taylor ordered.

'How... How did I not notice this? How did I let this happen?' I confessed.

'Sir, it's no use on dwelling on the past... What you need to do is to be there for her now...'

'What if she doesn't love me anymore? I failed her!'

'It won't be easy... But she needs you more than ever now!'. Taylor replied while I slid down to the floor and buried my face. 'Sir, it's no use meddling with the past, you have to move forward!'

'How can I Taylor? She's... I didn't recognize the signs!... How stupid did I have to be?'

'Sir, she needs you with her right now... Why don't you go beside her?' he suggested...

'No... I can't go face her...' I replied as I stood up, and made my way out.

'Sir...'

'I have to go Taylor... Stay with her...'

'Sir..' Taylor replied.

'Please... I just need some time...'

I needed some time… I couldn't deal with this. Ana had warned me that this may happen… Flynn had tried making me see everything… but it was to no use. Elliot attacked me harshly on New Year's Eve… and yet I was still caught in my things that I was too busy to be there for her. How could I not notice? How could I do this? What kind of a father am I? One thing I didn't want to leave unattended… My daughter has to have the best care… I quickly took out my phone and dialed my mother.

'Hello Christian… Is everything ok?' She answered with her sweet caring voice.

'Mum… I screwed up!' I answered desperately.

'What happened son?'

'Sera… she fainted in school… she's still unconscious…' I replied.

'Where is she?'

'In the emergency room… could you please go down to her… I don't trust anyone except you…'

'Yes… sure… but Christian… you know what's wrong… we've been trying to tell you…'

'I know mum… but… Please help her!'

'Where are you?'

'I just need some time…'

'Christian don't you dare leave your daughter alone! This time I myself will take her from you. She needs you!'

'I know mother… I just need to care for some business first.'

'Ok… I'm going down now…'

'Thanks mother…'

'… and you better call John son… she needs to be in therapy ASAP!'

'Anything to save her mum.'
