Chapter 7

                 Phoebe

I was woken up by the noise of glasses, my heart skipped a beat, my mind went to Abigail, I quickly ran to her room, I met Mom, Dad and Andrew there already. 

We banged the door, we pleaded with her to open it as I was told earlier it was locked inside. She refused. I turned to Andrew with teary eyes, "I told you she might do terrible things to herself, but you said she can't, she is doing it now". I said, I started crying. He hugged me as Mom threatened Dad. 

Shortly we heard her screams, I flared up.

" Abigail, please stop hurting yourself". I shouted banging the door heavily. Andrew left. 

He came back with two huge guards.

"Please all of you move back, they will break down the door". He said pointing to them. The guards moved back, they ran to the door at great speed, they jumped at the door with their left arms at the same time the door broke, and we rushed in.

It was dark, I switched on the light, I was shocked with what I saw. Broken glasses were all over everywhere, I saw her lifeless body on the floor, we ran to her, the guards carried her immediately to the bed, she fainted on the glasses. I sat beside her on the bed, I could see blood gushing out of her back and on her hands. Fresh tears started falling from my eyes.

"My daughter, please wake up". Mom said tearfully, slapping her face slightly. I took her hand, I checked her pulse, it is still active.

"Andrew, please call the doctor". I ordered.

He brought out his phone, he called him.

"Please Mr Shawn we need your presence in our house right now". He said hang up immediately.

Dad took her hand, Mom snatched it from him. "You don't deserve to be here". She shouted at him.

I looked at him in pity, he looked sad and heartbroken. 

"Mom you shouldn't blame Dad for what happened, he only did what was the best, he tried his best to find a solution which he did". I snapped.

"Honey, you don't have to speak to your mother like that". Dad calms me down.

"She continues to throw blames at you, if you relented without finding a solution to the problem, you will still shout at him". I blasted walking out.

"Phoebe, Phoebe, come back here". Dad called but I was far gone.

"Phoebe, Phoebe". He called and I turned back, he was following me.

"You have to apologize to your mother, perhaps, this is a fight between adults, you shouldn't have interfered in the first place". He corrected calmly. He is right though, I shouldn't have interfered in the first place.

"I am sorry Dad, I was hurt by those words". I apologized for hugging him.

"I understand you my daughter, you just have to say sorry to her". He said, stroking my hair.

"Good evening, Mr Walter". Mr Shawn called, we disengaged.

"Good evening Mr Shawn". He greeted them and they shook hands.

"Good evening Mr Shawn". I greeted.

"Good evening Phoebe, why was I called here". He said turning to Dad.

"Follow me". Dad instructed, he followed, Dad took my hand as we walked.

"Mr Shawn, please check my daughter, she is unconscious". Mom said immediately she sighted Mr Shawn.

He walked closer to Abigail's bed, he checked her pulse, he brought out his stereoscope, he placed it on her chest, he listened to her heart beat through the ones he plugged in his ears. He removed it.

"Doctor, what is the problem?Is everything okay?Why are you silent? `` Mom yelled at the doctor. He kept quiet, he knows  Mom very well, she can be too emotional sometimes.

"She will be unconscious any moment from now, she is fine, I will just plaster the little injuries on her body, then I will prescribe some drugs for you". Mr Shawn said softly.

"Thank you doctor, how many hours will it take her to wake up?". Dad asked.

"She will be up in the morning". He said packing his bag.

He looked at Mom. "You have to stay here with her because she will be having a serious headache when she wakes up". He explained carrying his bag.

"I will see you off and also get the drugs". Andrew said going out to get his car keys.

"Thank you Mr Shawn". Mom thanked me.

He nodded, "Mrs Walter you have to control yourself to avoid the triggering of your blood pressure". He advised. Mom nodded.

"Thank you Mr Shawn". Dad said and they shook.

"Bye for now". He said he left with Dad.

"Mom????". I called immediately and they left.

"Don't Mom me, you are now realizing I am your Mom right". She said angrily.

"I am sorry, Dad made me understand, it is between adults, that I shouldn't have interfered, I am sorry". I apologized for playing with my fingers.

"I have forgiven you even before you apologized". She said with a smile. I hugged her.

"You are the best mummy, I love you so much". 

"I love you too, my beautiful daughter". She said I blushed.

Dad walked in, she stood up to meet him.

" I am sorry Walter, I wasn't in my right senses when I said that, please forgive me". She apologized, Dad pulled her into a hug, he pecked her lips.

"How I wish I am able to do this with my Brian. I will make sure I sort things out with him". I smiled.

"Phoebe come here". Mom called, I walked closer to them, we hugged, smiling at each other.

In The Morning

                      PHOEBE

Mom and I slept in Abigail's room. 

"Good morning Mom". I greeted, I yawned.

"A beautiful morning to you Phoebe". She replied smiling happily, I went to hug her. We disengaged.

"Mom I need to get changed, I will be right back". I said running off.

I got into my room, I walked into the bathroom straight away, I brushed my teeth, I took a quick bath, I came out, I picked a jean mini skirt and a green crop top, I walked out with my bag.

"Is she awake?". I asked as I walked into the room.

"No she isn't, I am getting afraid right now". She said, looking at her worriedly.

I walked closer to her, placing my hand on her shoulders. "She will be fine, the doctor confirmed it, remember". I said with a smile.

"I hope so". I muttered not taking my eyes off her.
