Without Her

Chapter 56 - Scared, Confused And Angry

Jac runs into hospital, with Harriet.

She's scared, confused, angry and so many other things.

"Sacha, has anyone seen Sacha?" She shouts, in Pulses.

"I'm right here." Sacha says, behind her.

"It's Harriet, she's taken tablets."

"Okay, let's get her to Keller." He says, as they rush off.

They get to Keller, and Jac slowly puts Harriet on the bed.

She's pale, starting to get sweaty.

"It's okay, I've got you." Jac says, stroking her hair.

"Mummy, stomach hurts." Harriet says, tears falling from her eyes.

"I know it does, but Uncle Sacha is going to fix it." Jac smiles, taking her hand.

Sacha comes back, "We need to take some tests, there will possibly be an operation."

"An operation?!" Jac says, confused.

"We'll just have to see."

Meanwhile...

Kian is still rocking Noah in his arms, as he won't calm down.

Kian feels on the verge of tears too, so much is going on.

He can't take the crying too much longer, and Emma had gone to a friends house to play.

"Please, quieten down." Kian says, stroking the top of Noah's head.

He slowly puts Noah down, and goes into the kitchen to do something. When Noah's wails get worse and worse.

He can't take it anymore, so he rushes out of the front door by himself.

Back at the hospital...

Jac is sitting by Harriets bed, waiting for them to bring her back from some scans.

"Right Jac, we need to give her some charcoal." Sacha says, walking back over.

"So, no operation?"

"Unless, she has any complications." He replies, as she is wheeled back in.

Jac smiles, when she sees Harriet "Hey, baby."

"How are we feeling?"

"Better, where's daddy?" Harriet asks, looking up at Jac.

"He's not here right now." Jac says, taking her hand.

Kian runs in "I'm here."

Jac looks up at him, and then drags him out by his arm "I think we need to talk."

"About?"

"About these." She replies, taking out the pill packet.

"Jac, they're old." He says, nervously.

"Excuses, lies." She scoffs, "You never fail to surprise me."

"You're just the same, as you always have been."

"Jac, it's all in the past now." He says, taking her hand.

"You promise?"

"Yeah, I promise." He smiles, as she looks at him confused.
