  'Shoot they unpicked the door!' I felt my heart beat faster.

  'Lucas pick up!' I held the phone like my life depended on it which depending on who was at the door might be true.

  Bang

  The person slammed themselves on the door as if trying to open it.

  'Answer the call Lucas!!'

  Suddenly all the banging ended...

  I heard sounds of footsteps getting softer as if they were walking away..

  "Hello?" All my pent up anxiety disappeared.

  "Lucas..." My voice was shaking uncontrollably I felt tears streaming down my face.

  "Athy? What's wrong?" Lucas voice softened as if trying to calm me down.

  "Someone- Outside.." I only managed to choke out two words barely managing to even breath due to my tears and also the pain that attacked me with every movement.

  "Athy what's wrong?" This time the voice wasn't from the line but in real life... As if he was right behind the door.

  "Athy open the door." Lucas said trying to open the door.

  I limbed over to the door ignoring the pain.

  I removed the chair and the door burst open.

  "Hey Athy! You ok?" I saw Lucas face full of worry.

  I felt a wave of relief as my legs gave up under me.

  "Athy!" Lucas quickly used his hand to support my back with his other hand under me.

  "Geez! You said you wouldn't worry me like this anymore...." Lucas said as he chuckled lifted me up bridal style and placed me in the sick bay bed.

  My eyes were closing but I could see Lucas's expression was a sad smile as if his relived that I'm fine but was that he wasn't here to help me.

  "So tell me what happened?" Lucas put his hand above mine as if reassuring me his here.

  "Someone was trying to break down the door.." I said slowly feeling myself calm down knowing that lucas was right here beside me... And that everything was fine..

  "That explains why the door was unlocked." I heard another voice say a middle ranged voice. Definitely a girls..

  "Do you think it's the same person who tried to poison?" Lucas asked whether he was asking me or the lady I had no clue.

  "It's hard to say..." I heard the lady reply.

  "Who...." I managed to say but it was more of a whisper due to my lack to energy.

  "As in who did it?" The lady asked.

  "The person beside me is my mum." I heard Lucas say.

  'Of course you would understand what I'm asking from just one word.'

  "That makes more sense then what my brain thought you were asking.." I heard aunty chuckle.

  "But Athy did you have a clue who it was breaking down the door?" Lucas asked his grip on my hand tightened.

  "Guy..." I muttered a word am immediately Lucas understood.

  "So it was a male." Lucas said confirming to himself and also translating for aunty.
