Hi guys, I wanted to say thank you again for the reviews. Reading your thoughts is really helping me to develope your story. So if you have any ideas or things you would like to see just leave a review and I will see what I can do.
One of you asked if Jack Hyde will be a villain in this story aswell. Right now I have no plans of Jack beeing a part of the story, but things can change and so maybe he will make an appearance in later chapters. Right now Christian and Ana will have to deal with Elena and Ella as well as getting to the point where they will share their pasts with each other.
Ana's POV
The moment Christian and I realise what Taylor has just told us we both jump to our feet and follow them out of his office and into the elevator.
" Do we know in what condition they are?" Christian ask.
" No, Sir all Reynolds could tell me was that they both were unconscious and already on their way to the hospital."
" Anything about the driver?"
" From what Reynolds could see it was a male, he ran a stop sign and crashed into your brothers car. Reynolds got out of his car to check on them and called 911 and the guy jumped out of the car and took off. Reynolds decided to stay with your brother and Miss Kavanagh because it seemed like a planned act and he feared someone would harm your brother and Miss Kavanagh further if he left them."
Christian nods and takes his phone out. I can hear him talk to his mother and realise that I have to call Kate's family so they can come to the hospital too. I take my phone from my purse and dial Ethan's number.
" Hi Ana banana"
" Ethan Kate was in a car accident I'm on my way to the hospital now."
" Fuck have you talked to her?"
" No, I'll explain later just call your parents and come to the hospital."
" Ok I'm on my way which hospital."
" Umm wait I have to ask... Taylor which hospital?"
" The Seattle Memorial Ma'am"
" Ethan?..."
" Yes I heard that Ana I'll meet you at the ER" he hangs up and we get all out of the elevator and into the SUV. Christian is calling his father and sister while Taylor is driving like a bat out of hell. I just sit there and offer a silent prayer to God asking for Kate and Elliot to be ok.
Once we arrive at the ER we are asked to go to the waiting area and that a Doctor will come and see us as soon as possible.
" Fuck Taylor get me a Doctor now I will not wait until someone will come I want information now!" Christian is pacing the small waiting room and runs his hands through his hair.
" I'll see what I can do Sir" Taylor says and leaves while Sawyer is waiting with us.
" Christian please sit down. I know this is hard but we have to just wait." I try to calm him but honestly I would like to pace too.
" No this is my fucking fault I bet that Elena has her hands in this"
" It is not your fault Christian you are not responsable for her actions or the actions of the driver. Maybe the guy was drunk or just got scared and took off. Let the police take care of this, if it was her plan then she is going back to jail were she belongs."
" Ana you don't understand it's my fucking fault believe me." he says defeated and Taylor comes back in.
" Both Mister Grey and Miss Kavanagh are still beeing attended by the doctors. Your mother is with them aswell. For now you have to wait Sir."
" Fuck, call Welch I want him on this accident right now I want to know who the fuck the driver was." Christian hisses and continues to pace. I just sit there waiting for any news on Kate and Elliot praying that they will be ok. And while I am sitting here in this waiting room I realise that this is how my parents must have felt when they had to wait for news on my condition after my accident and I have the overwhelming urge to talk to my parents.
I take my phone and since I know my Mom has a ladies lunch I decide to call my Dad.
" Ray Steele" he answers clipped and I smile to myself my Dad never checks the caller ID so he knows who is calling.
" Hi Daddy"
" Annie is everything alright?" now he sounds concerned because it is unusual for me to call in the middle of the day.
" No I'm fine it's just Kate and her boyfriend were in an accident and now I'm at the ER waiting for news."
" Oh Annie I'm sorry do you want Mom and I to come."
" No I am fine, really. It's just... I felt bad knowing that you and mom had to go through this when I ... well you know."
" Annie your mom and I always worry about you and your siblings that's what parents do even now that you are a grown woman you are still my little girl and I worry about you. Kate and her boyfriend will be just fine and you know she is tough as nails." he says and I smile. He is right Kate is tough and I have to think positiv.
" Thank you Daddy."
" What for?"
" Just for beeing there for me, for beeing my Daddy just everything."
" Your welcome Babygirl, listen you know it's your moms birthday this weekend your siblings are coming will you be here?" Oh no!
" Daddy I will call mom and meet her after her birthday. You know it's a bad idea to show up. I want mom to have a nice, stressfree birthday."
" Annie..."
" Daddy please, it's for the best. Look Kate's brother has arrived I have to go. Love you Daddy."
" I love you, too Annie" I hang up and walk over to Ethan who pulls me into a big hug. " Any news Ana?"
" No" he lets go of me looks around and frowns when he sees Christian, Taylor and Sawyer.
" Ethan this is Christian Elliot's brother, Elliot was in the accident aswell, and those are Taylor and Sawyer they work for Christian. Christian this is Ethan, Kate's brother." They shake hands and soon Mia and Carrick and Kate's parents arrive. What is taking so long? Can't they just come out and tell us what is going on?
Just when I'm about to find a nurse or doctor and demand answers Grace comes in.
" Mom where are they. Are they ok?" Mia is the first to find her voice and we are all looking anxiously at Grace.
" They will be ok. Elliot has bruised ribs, a concussion and he broke his noise when the airbag opened. He is conscious now and you can see him shortly."
" What about our daughter" Kate's father Alec asks. Grace turns to him and smiles.
" Your daughter is fine she has a concussion aswell as a broken wrist but she is conscious now and will be fine. They both need rest though and will have to stay the night."
" Can we see her?" Kate's mom wants to know and while all the Grey's go to see Elliot and Kate's family is seeing her I stay behind in the waiting room. I do want to see Kate but I know she will need rest and I can see her tomorrow.
After a while Ethan returns. " Hey Ana, Kate is worried about you she was talking about a weird cougar and that she is afraid of you beeing alone tonight, so I will stay at your apartment."
" That won't be necessary Ana will stay at my place" We both turn around and see Christian leaning in the doorframe of the waiting room and he is glaring at Ethan. Crap does he think Ethan will try something?
" Christian I will be fine..."
" No, Ana I'm about to lose my fucking mind. You will stay at my place" he hisses and I sigh. " Fine if it makes you feel better Christian I will stay at your penthouse." I do think that this is over top but right now I don't want to add to his stress.
" Why Ana I can stay with you" Ethan seems not to pleased and I know it's because Kate told him Christian is a douche.
" It's alright Ethan. I'll be fine."
Ethan shrugs. " All right, well I promised Kate to get her some stuff from the apartment I have her keys. Bye Ana" we hug again and he nods curtly at Christian and leaves.
" How is Elliot?"
" Whining about his nose. He thinks it will make him look less pretty" Christian smirks and I grin because that really sounds like Elliot. We are interrupted by a nurse who comes in but the young woman sees Christian and seems to lose all common sense because she is staring at him in carnal appreciation. Oh I wouldn't do that and sure enough Christians face turns cold.
" Are you done fucking ogling me?" he snaps and her mouth pops open. " Yeah I'm talking to you for fucks sake" And there he is Christian the douche.
" I.. I'm so..sorry I was umm distracted. Your brother wants to see you once your family has left" she stutters and takes off quickly. I just stare at Christian. " What?" he hisses.
" I'm sorry, I guess it just took me by surprise that you can still be like that. I mean well basically we know each other not that long but I feel like you changed completely in such a short amount of time."
" Believe me I'm still the same Ana. I just don't need to be like that with you anymore."
" Why?" he looks uncomfortable and actually a little shy I think. " Because you showed me that I can trust you." Wow he trusts me and I know without knowing what has happened to him, that this is a big deal for him.
" Christian?" we both turn to see Mia who is pouting.
" What is wrong Mia?"
" Mom has a late shift and Dad needs to be at some dinner meeting tonight and I don't want to be alone at Bellevue. Can I stay at your place tonight.?" she asks and gives him his puppy eye look.
" Sure, Ana is staying over aswell." I actually flinch when Mia starts to jump up and down in glee. " Oh that's so cool Ana we can make it a slumber party. Watch movies all night and talk."
" Umm Mia I have to work tomorrow but I guess one movie will be fine." Somehow I find it very hard to say no to her when she is like that and I suspect that I'm not the only one who feels like that as Elliot once told me that Mia is spoilt because no one can say no to her.
" You two stay here with Saywer I will go and find out what Elliot wants to talk about." Christian says and so Mia and sit down.
" He likes you Ana. I mean really likes you. I have never seen him like that before. It's like he finally found someone who he can trust."
" I hope so." I smile and hear my phone vibrate. " Sorry it's my boss I have to take the call." I step outside the waiting room take the call and wander down the hallway while I talk about taking on another class for a sick colleague. When I've finished the call I realise that I have no idea where I am so I just walk back that hallway I'm in when I see Grace and Carrick talk.
" Carrick we have to tell them. Elena knows. If she is the one to tell them they will never forgive us."
" No Grace not now."
" But Ella is here, too. What if she tells them, tells them everything" Grace is nearly crying and I have no idea what to do. I don't want them to think that I was eavesdropping and because I fear they will notice me soon I head over to the vending machines on the farside of the hallway and just get the first thing I see. They look up from the noise and I give them a smile. When they smile back I'm sure they have no idea I heard them but now I am intrigued what is going on.
Shit whatever is going on between them and in their family it must be bad. I shouldn't stick my nose into it as this is a family issue. On the other hand it is already affecting me since I now have to have security and my roommate was in a car accident. Though we do not know if this is related but I suspect it is. Wow eversince I have known Christian Grey my life seems to have gone from normal to full of crazy events.
Christian's POV
Once my family has left Elliot I enter his room again. " Hey bro the nurse said you wanted to see me, do you need something?"
" No I'm fine. Of course my pretty face will never be the same. Good thing I found the right girl before today. Now she has to live with my ugly mug"
" So you are serious about Kate?"
" Yup she's the one. But now to the more important stuff. Look bro I'm not sure about this but I think I know who the driver was that has hit us."
" What fuck Elliot why didn't you tell me this right away. We could have caught that fucker by now!" Shit I know I shouldn't yell at him right now but damn it I'm pissed.
" Calm the fuck down I said I wasn't sure. I saw the fucker for like 2 seconds but there was something familiar about him and just now it clicked. Do you remember Cooper Fields?"
" No, who the fuck is that?"
" Come on bro, don't you remember? You were like 12 and I was 15. Mom's friend Sally had her nephew over for the summer. He was such a wimp. Always hiding somewhere and then on the 4th of july when we played that prank on his aunt and her stupid friend and everyone thought it was him and he pissed himself. Come on Christian that was epic."
" Shit I remember him now tall but really skinny with some fucking ugly haircut and glasses."
" Yup thats him and do you know what's more. I saw that little fucker in our area the same year in autumn and winter a couple of times. I thought he was visiting his aunt but what if he was visiting Elena."
" Fuck me. You think he was one of her toys?"
" Well he could be, he was insecure as fuck just what that old bitch liked."
" Ok, thanks bro. Try to get some sleep. Ryan and Reynolds will be here to make sure no one who isn't on the approved list will come anywhere near you or Kate."
" Great oh and bro can you do me a favor?"
" What do you need?"
" Can you get them to put Kate in my room. I want her here and it will make it easier for your security to watch us."
" Sure I'll see what I can do." I leave his room and after some discussion get them into one room and let Taylor brief Ryan and Reynolds again aswell as let Taylor organize two other guys so Ryan and Reynolds can get some rest tonight. The last thing I need is someone getting into the room with my brother and Kate while my security guys are sleeping from exhaustion.
A couple of minutes later Mia, Ana and I leave the hospital and get into the car with Taylor.
" Do you need to go back to Bellevue to gather some things for tonight and tomorrow" I ask Mia though actually the last thing I want to do now is a detour to my parents house. All I want is to get Mia and Ana into my penthouse were I know they will be safe.
" No, Ana offered me to lend me what I need. So we just need to stop at her apartment" Thank fuck for that.
" Escala Sir?" Taylor asks and I nod. I need to call Welch and figure this shit with that Cooper fucker out and if there is any connection between him and that old hag Elena I will personally deliever her back to jail. If she wants to fuck with me that's one thing but no one is ever going to hurt my family without having to pay for it. God damn it I need to find out what she is playing at or she will have the upper hand and thats something I can't let happen.
Years ago I promised myself I would never again let anyone see any kind of weakness in me. I will never be fucking weak again and I will never again allow anyone to make a victim ever again.
I stare out of the window while Mia is chatting about god knows what and bless Ana she is actually trying to follow Mia's chatter which can be fucking hard at times as my sister can talk as fast as shit once she gets excited about a topic.
When Taylor pulls up at Escala she stopps suddenly. " Wow that's so weird. It's like that woman over there is following me." she says and points to the other side of the street. Fuck it her, my birthmother.
" What the hell is that supposed to mean she is following you around?" I hiss my voice harsher than I intended it to be.
" Well since last week I saw her at least four times. I tried to talk to her once but she took off. Who is she anyway?"
" That's my birthmother. Mia from now on you will stay here with me. You can hang out at GEH while I'm working or if that is to boring for you maybe Ana can take you to her dance studio but I want you in the city where I can be there within minutes if you see her again."
" Oh, ok what do you think she wants?"
" Driving me fucking insane as it seems." I sigh and rub my hands through my hair. This is a fucking nightmare, what the hell does she want with Mia? Damn it if I don't get to the bottom of this quickly I think I might really lose my fucking mind.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next chapter will be up tomorrow or saturday. Until then please leave a review :)
