| The women marched down the hallway followed closley by a taller girl wearing a black jacket and skater jeans. The women had a look a sheer determination on her face. Nothing was going to stop her. "What room was it ?" she asked the younger girl. "431. Isabelle what do you think he'll say." "Who cares, my daughter is sick. He doesn't run her life. Ah, here it it." Isabelle pushed open the door. "Hello David." she said cooly. He jumped off the chair and cleaned his glasses. "Isabelle, dear. What are you doing here?" "My daughter's sick. You could of called me to tell me she had cancer." "It doesn't concern you." Isabelle slammed her bag on the nearby table making the younger girl jump. "DAMN IT DAVID! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER TOO. DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP ABOUT IT NOT CONCENRING ME!" The girl jumped. "Maybe I'll just leave..."she muttered. "No, you have a right to see Paige. Just like Matt does." "Who told you about Matt?" David asked. "Ellie. She was devastated. She told me what you said to Matt. How you split them up and why you want let him or her see her.What the hell were you thinking?" "I was protecting our daughter from the second class." "You self centered b*****d. How dare you, don't forget I was"lower" class, your mom was"lower" class. It was your dad who put this idea of the first class being better then the rest of us." "I'm her dad." "AND I'M HER MOTHER!" Isabelle boomed.She took a deep breath to calm herself. "Now later. Ellie and Matt will be coming to see her. There's nothing you can do about. So make yourself usful and get the hell out of my sight." David left without a word. The girl clapped her hands. "Isabelle, you were the only one to ever be able to stick up to Uncle David." "He's not that tough. Jordan, do me a favour hon, and call Matt. He needs to see her." Jordan smiled and left the room. Isabelle sat on the edge of Paige's bed and smoothed back her hair. "Paige,I know we haven't seen that much of each other, for that I'm sorry. I know that for you, time is running out. So I'm going to be here, whenever you need me. I promise. " Paige rolled over and opened her eyes. She was begining to feel better. Hopefully the doctors would let her go home soon. Violet was sitting by her bed. "Hey," "You'll never believe what happened." "What?" Paige asked pulling herself up. "Mom was here, Jordan was here. So was Ellie and Matt." "Don't lie Vi. Mom hasn't seen me in four years, I have no idea where Jordan is and Dad banned Matt and Ellie from coming near me." "Paige, I'm not lying. Him and Mom had huge row. He stormed off and they came to see you. But you were asleep the whole time. Then Dad came back claiming as long as you were in here he was your legal guardien and he had total control." Paige was silent. Her blood was boiling. "That's it." she said. She pulled the drip from her arm and out from her nose. She pulled the 'thing' off her finger which was monitering her heartbeat and began to climb out of bed. "Paige get back in bed. Your still not 100%" "Damn it Violet. I'll never be 100% for the rest of my life. I don't have much time left and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend it in a hospital bed. Now get a Doctor while I get dressed." Violet rushed off and Paige got changed. She'd had some trouble leaving the hospital, but now Paige was walking along the wet streets of Cameron wondering what to do next. She'd packed her stuff from her Dad's house and now was carrying a small suitcase and a bag. Time was running out, the Doctors had esitmated, a year, at the most. She knew she was lucky. It was because she was young, her body was coping a little better. "Why did this have to happen to me?" she wondered. "Im young.I don't deserve this." She knew where she had to go, she knew someone would be waiting. |
