Fan Fiction / Zoids Fan Fiction ❯ Unforgettable ❯ disaster ( Chapter 19 )

Things were actually peaceful as the weeks past. A week from then, Van would be going to court where he had hopes that he'd be able to finalize this divorce and finally get on with his life with Fiona.

 

Irvine had his hands full for a while. Van had never seen him the way that he has been since he learned that Moonbay was pregnant. The once tough man seemed to worry much more. He barely let Moonbay get out of the house unless it was necessary. She wasn't too happy about it either considering how much she loved her freedom.

 

Van hadn't heard much from Tiffany for a while. The media had finally settled down and things seemed almost normal by then. Van didn't expect it to last with his divorce trial approaching but there was nothing that he could really do. He just knew that they would be all over him when that time came. Unfortunately, things were suddenly shaken one morning. It definitely went a way that he didn't expect.

 

Van was sitting at his desk signing some papers when Irvine suddenly came barging into the office. He looked a bit panicked. “What's up Irvine?” Van asked as he set his pen down and rubbed his hand since he'd been signing papers all morning without any break.

 

“We've got problems,” he said as he walked over to the television that was set up in the room. He turned it on and started to flip through the channels until he found the one he was looking for. “This is very serious Van. You might want to see this as well Fiona,” he said as a news reporter appeared on the TV.

 

“What's going on?” Fiona asked as she got up and followed Van over to the TV so that both of them could get a good view. She didn't understand what it was because they were just talking about a break in right then.

 

Irvine turned to look at her and gave her a sad look since he knew that this would be hard for her to see but he also knew that it'd be best for her to see this. “Just wait. They'll probably talk about it again,” he said as he took a seat and started to watch the TV with great interest.

 

Just as Irvine had suspected, a report was displayed on the TV. “Rumors of the divorce case between Van Flyheight the multibillionaire and his wife of two years, Tiffany Flyheight, has been confirmed. The two have been at odds for the past several weeks but a divorce wasn't reported until just recently.”

 

Van looked at Irvine. He expected them to get it. He didn't see how this was supposed to be such a big deal. “What's the point? They would've gotten it eventually,” Van said but Irvine just motioned for him to continue watching.

 

“However something has also come to our attention. In a special interview with his wife, we unveil startling new information into the case,” the new reporter said before the screen shifted to another reporter and none other than Van's soon to be ex-wife.

 

Van couldn't help but growl a bit. He couldn't understand how she could keep dragging this thing out like this. He didn't want the whole world to know about it all but she continued to make sure that she did everything that she could to change his mind. He didn't think that there was anything that could possibly change his mind.

 

“Thank you for talking with us Mrs. Flyheight,” the reporter on the TV said and Tiffany just nodded her head as she wiped a small tear falling from her eyes. “I know this is hard but I was wondering if you could please give us some information about this trial,” the reporter said handing the woman a tissue.

 

Tiffany wiped her eyes and the spoke. “Well as I stated before, it all started when my husband got himself this new secretary who happened to be his old girlfriend. Before then, the two of us were really happy,” she said as another tear fell down her face.

 

The reporter just nodded and handed another tissue. “After that, he started to distance himself from me and I eventually found out that he was cheating on me with her even after he told me so many times before how much she hurt him when they were going out,” she said and blew her nose into the tissue.

 

“What about all these accusations he made on you? He says that you were cold hearted and didn't care for the safety of his friends. Are any of these accusations true?” the reporter asked and then switched to Tiffany who just shook her head no. “Then what actually happened?”

 

“I admit that I overreacted that night but I couldn't just sit back as she tried to hurt him again,” Tiffany said wiping her eyes once again. “I loved him and I was just looking out for him and he just did all those horrible things to me,” she said as she looked down at her hands in her lap.

 

Tiffany seemed to take a few moments to calm down before she looked back up at the reporter. “Just before then I told him I was pregnant and then he suddenly wants a divorce and won't even give me anything to help me get by with our child.”

 

Irvine just shut it off there. He had a highly pissed off look in his eyes. “It was also all over the paper but I'm guessing you haven't read it yet. The rest of the interview was just a bunch of bullshit! She's not lying either according to a doctor's report. Even a DNA test shows it's yours from what she released,” Irvine said as he slammed his fist down upon the table and he was surprised it didn't break under the force.

 

Van seemed to have gone very pale after the interview. “She has to be lying. She never told me anything like that. You have to believe me,” Van said urgently as he looked between Irvine and Fiona. Fiona actually avoided his gaze.

 

Van knew why Fiona wasn't looking at him. If it was true, then she knew that he would have to go back to Tiffany and take care of his child. It would be the honorable thing to do. “She's lying she made sure that she wouldn't get pregnant whenever we did it. We used protection all the time,” Van said suddenly remembering her insistence on using protection.

 

Fiona knew that usually that would be true but she also knew that there was also a downside to Van's theory. “Yeah but just a small tear could do this,” she muttered sadly as she kept her head down. She suddenly turned around and ran out of the room. It might very well be Van's child and she didn't want to be the one to get him in trouble for staying with her when someone else had his child.

 

“Fiona!” Van yelled about to rush after her but Irvine grabbed his arm before he could get very far. “Irvine let me go! I need to talk to Fiona!” Van yelled as he struggled but Irvine wouldn't let go of his arm.

 

“Van as much as I hate to say this, you should leave Fiona alone for now. I'll have Moonbay check up on her but I think that we really need to look more into this first thing!” Irvine said trying to be as reasonable as possible because of how serious Van's situation had become.

 

“Irvine even if she is I don't think I can go back to Tiffany,” Van said looking very panicked. Never in his life had he been put into a situation this severe. He didn't know if he should stay with Fiona or live a lie with Tiffany now.

 

“You may not have to but you have to remain calm. I think that she must've planned this really well. Releasing that to the public would put more pressure on you to return to her. Just keep calm at least for Fiona's sake,” Irvine tried to calm his friend to the best of his ability but it just didn't seem to be enough.

 

Van did his best but he just couldn't seem to not panic. Papers say that it's his child and there'll be pressure to force him to remain married to his wife. “What is there that we can do when she has proof that it's mine?” Van said running a hand through his hair.

 

“I don't know but you'll need a clear head to think it over. I'm going to go call Moonbay and tell her what's going on but she probably already knows. I'll have her look over Fiona,” he said leaving the room to his own as he headed to his own. Fiona looked really hurt and he didn't want to leave her alone for long.

 

Van managed to stumbled over in his chair and collapsed into it. His head fell onto the desk as he asked himself over and over the exact same questions. `Is this actually happening? Will I actually have to leave Fiona again?' she asked himself as he felt himself shake. He didn't know what would happen if he had to leave Fiona again.

 

*****

 

Fiona just drove away without any real destination in mind. She loved Van but she wouldn't want to be in his way when he has a child of his own on the way. She wanted him to do the right thing even if it did hurt her in the end.

 

Somehow Fiona suddenly found herself in front of Moonbay's house. She didn't know how she could've gotten there but she knew that she'd feel better if she had another woman to talk to. Moonbay always had a way of knowing what to do. She hoped that she would have some answers for Fiona.

 

Fiona parked her car and started to walk to the door. Before she could even reach it, Moonbay came out of it and wrapped Fiona in a comforting hug. Fiona couldn't help but cry as Moonbay tried to comfort her.

 

Moonbay sighed for her poor friend. `She must've been holding in her tears ever since she left,' she thought as she looked at Fiona. “Hey there Fiona. It's going to be ok. Just let it all out,” Moonbay said as she patted Fiona's back. She was just about to go looking for Fiona but was glad she showed up when she did.

 

“T-There's p-proof that s-she actually h-has his c-child,” Fiona managed to stuttered out. She wondered how things could've gone from so great one second to utterly horrible the next second. “I-I don't know what to do,” she said as her voice continued to shake from her sobs.

 

“Why don't we go inside so you can just sit down,” Moonbay said as more of a statement rather than a question. She then turned towards the door and carefully led Fiona into the beautiful house.

 

Fiona sat down on the couch, which she was really glad about because she didn't think her legs could stand her up anymore. “I don't know what to do Moonbay. I know Van should do the right thing but I love him so much now that I don't think I can possibly let him go again!” Fiona said as tears fell down her face.

 

Moonbay sighed and sat down next to Fiona wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “I know that it'll be hard Fiona. Neither Irvine or me know what to expect,” she said just wishing that she could kill Tiffany and get it over with. “You're welcome to stay here until everything is settled,” she said but Fiona just shook her head no.

 

Fiona just continued to shake her head. “I don't think I can face Van right now. I know there's nothing he could do but I feel like I need to get out of here for now,” she said as she stood up and started to pace the room.

 

Moonbay suddenly had a great idea that brought a grin to her face. “You know what Fiona? You're right! Me and you are going to go out for a while. You need to get away and I need to get out! Irvine's driving me nuts keeping me here!” she yelled and was glad when she heard Fiona giggle slightly. “I'll leave a note and we'll leave before either of them notice. Go and get enough clothes for a few days and we'll get out of here,” she said as she ran to her own room.

 

*****

 

Irvine groaned in aggravation as he returned home that day. They had searched all day for something that would prove Tiffany as a liar but everything appeared to be legitimate. They looked like official papers and Irvine didn't see much they could do.

 

Irvine planned to go someplace tomorrow that would be the best place to check but it was late when he got out and he really wanted to get home and get some sleep. He knew that Fiona was there and he really wanted to make sure she was ok. She was like a sister and he wanted to make sure she didn't do anything rash.

 

He opened the door to the house but knew almost immediately by how quiet it was that they weren't there. Moonbay almost always made a lot of noise. `Where the hell is she? She shouldn't be out in her condition,' he thought as he looked around.

 

He first walked to their room and looked in but saw that the bed was empty. He then walked to the guest room but that was empty as well. “What the hell!” he yelled almost running around looking for anything.

 

It wasn't until the kitchen that he found out. He had basically given up looking around the house and she wasn't picking up her cell. He figured that he would get a quick bite to eat then check all of her favorite places. It was only then that he noticed a note that was taped to the refrigerator. He pulled it off and read it.

 

Irvine,

 

I'm sure by the time you're reading this that we'll be long gone. I've taken Fiona out for a few days and to get out myself. I wouldn't suggest coming to look for us. I'll call you if anything comes up. Ciao.

 

Moonbay

 

Irvine crumpled up the note angrily and hit the side of the fridge. “What is she thinking going out in her condition?” he asked himself but he also knew that it also would be pointless to look. Moonbay's good at hiding and not being found at least in these types of situations.

 

*****

 

Van groaned as he approached a house he was hoping to never see again. As much as he hated the idea, he really had no other choice but to confront Tiffany. He knew it wouldn't be pretty but he needed answers and with luck a solution would present itself to him.

 

He walked up to the door and knocked on it. There didn't seem to be any response on the inside for a moment but then he heard someone moving inside and the next moment the door was opened.

 

Tiffany didn't look to happy when she opened the door but then a smile crossed her face when she saw that it was Van. She was dressed in a bathrobe and her hair was slightly damp. “How nice to see you Van,” she said in what was supposed to be a happy tone but she could tell that Van wasn't too happy to be here. “What's the matter, not happy to see the woman carrying your child?” she asked with a pout.

 

Van saw her reach out as if to caress his face but he grabbed her by the wrist before she could do so. “Don't think for one moment I believe you about it! I'm just here for the truth!” he said with a bit of venom to his voice.

 

“No need to be so nasty about it! I have all the proof you could want. Just follow me and I'll get it for you,” she said as she turned and walked into the house with Van following closely behind her.

 

Van immediately took notice that the house was very different from the way it was when he lived there. Not that he really cared. He didn't know if she was telling the truth or not. He figured that even if she was, he probably still wouldn't get back together with her like she wanted but still help to take care of his child. He probably wouldn't go back to Fiona if it was because he didn't think it would be fair to her.

 

Van took a seat on the sofa and just waited for her to grab the papers she claimed to have. One look at them would hopefully tell Van all that he needed to know about the child growing inside of her. He was praying for something to make it fake so that he could go back to Fiona.

 

Tiffany came back a few minute later carrying a few sheets of papers. “Here they are. All the pregnancy tests I took and also the DNA tests I had done since I knew that you wouldn't believe me otherwise,” she said handing the papers to Van.

 

Van took them cautiously and looked through them very thoroughly. He became more disheartened when he saw that they were official and that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her. `She actually is having my child?' he asked becoming disheartened.

 

“Is that enough proof for you that I am having your child? I had suspicions when you left but I wasn't sure until recently,” she said as she took them back and put them in a drawer. “I guess that means that you're stuck with me Van,” she said walking over to him again.

 

Van just sat there with his head in his hands. He would have to take responsibility for this child. All else would have to be left behind, including Fiona. It would be the hardest thing that he did but he didn't want to have to put her through this.

 

Tiffany took a seat next to Van and took his hands. “Van, isn't what we had before special? We can always have that again,” she spoke softly as she placed herself on Van's lap. “We'll be together again,” she said as she loosened her robed until it fell leaving her exposed.

 

Van didn't even looked at her but she grabbed his chin and tried to turn his head to kiss him. `This isn't right,' he thought before pushing her off of him and stood up. “I'm sorry. I just can't do that with you,” he said before leaving the house as quickly as was possible for him.

 

Tiffany watched as he left with emotionless eyes. `We'll be together again soon Van. You just need a little time to get used to this idea,' she thought before pulling her robe back on and she went to get dressed.

“You know, there's nothing like the lights of this big city during the night that makes me feel better,” Moonbay said stretching as the two of them got out of Fiona's car which Moonbay insisted on driving since Fiona didn't look up to doing much right then.

 

“Yeah,” Fiona mumbled as she looked over the city lights. Moonbay had taken them to a city that was a short ways away from where they normally lived in. It was far enough for them to hopefully not run into anyone they know but close enough so that if they had to get back quickly for some reason then it would be easy.

 

“We should check into the hotel first. Then we're going to have some tonight. You won't even remember why you're feeling bad when I'm done with you,” Moonbay said as she grabbed Fiona and dragged her towards a large hotel. There always were benefits to having a rich husband but that wasn't what attracted Moonbay to Irvine.

 

Fiona just followed Moonbay into the luxurious hotel and kept silent as Moonbay talked to the woman that was at the desk. She finished after what seemed like a long time and returned to Fiona's side holding a key in her hand. “Let's go then,” she said as she led Fiona through the lobby and towards an elevator.

 

The two of them got in the elevator and it started to go up to what seemed to be close to the top floor before it finally came to a stop and let them off. The got out and walked down a hall to a door that must be theirs since Moonbay came to a stop in front of it.

 

Moonbay dug into her pockets where she'd placed the key and pulled it out and unlocked the door. It swung open and the two of them walked into the room dragging their luggage behind them.

 

“Better than I thought it would be,” Moonbay muttered as she looked around. The room was large but not overly large for housing two people. It was definitely nicer than the other rooms that the hotel hand that were in a more affordable price range but Moonbay wanted to make Fiona feel better and got one of the nicer rooms.

 

Fiona looked around and had to admit that it was very nice but she'd rather be back at the place Van and her shared. It was more comfortable than the nicest room any hotel could have since at least Van was there.

 

She set her stuff down and walked to the window and opened the curtains. There were towering buildings all over the place. Some a lot bigger than where they were from. She could see a lake in the distance and cars that looked like ants below them.

 

“Nice view,” Moonbay said as she came and joined Fiona by the window. “I'm definitely going to have a great time here,” she said as she saw the sun starting to set in the horizon and lights on several of the buildings already starting to shine as the sky grew darker.

 

Moonbay turned towards Fiona and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Hey don't worry. You never know, by the time we get back the two of them might have gotten this mess sorted out. Even if she has proof, I somehow doubt she's telling the truth,” she said hoping that in some way it might help to cheer Fiona up a bit. “Come on, there's so much for us to do!” she said getting happy before pulling Fiona back towards the door.

 

*****

 

Irvine walked into Van's office the next morning and saw Van was his head down on his desk. “I guess I don't have to ask to know how that meeting went,” he said with a grimace on his face. “How you holding up?” he asked taking a seat across from Van and putting his feet up on the desk.

 

“Horribly,” Van muttered as he lifted his head and basically slammed it back down on the hard making Irvine wince. “I looked over the documents several times and they seem legitimate,” Van muttered as he kept hitting his head on the desk.

 

“Yeah well I say that there's something fishy about it all. Why is it that she didn't bother to bring it all up until now? She must've known for a while if she was and would've tried it earlier,” Irvine said thinking how it had already been almost three months.

 

“She would unless she wanted to have a better impact,” Van muttered not bothering to look up at Irvine. “Saying it this close to the divorce trial will have a better impact on mine and the judge's decision I think,” he muttered continuing to keep hitting his head on the desk.

 

“Will you stop that?! It's getting annoying!” Irvine yelled because just watching it was giving him a headache and he wasn't the one hitting his head. “I say that you should make her get another test, one with our doctors. I wouldn't be surprised if she paid them to change the results,” Irvine muttered since it did sound like something that she would do.

 

“No point asking them if it's true because she would've thought we would do that. There's no proof about it,” Van said with his head still down on the desk and he didn't appear to have any urge to lift it.

 

“What are you going to do? Stay with Tiffany and see if you can get it to work?” he asked hating the idea but that was the way things were starting to look. Or remain with Fiona? Or are you going to give up on both?” Irvine asked staring intently at Van.

 

“I don't know! Everything's just so screwed up right now! If she is, then I don't think I can put Fiona through that! Yet I don't think I can go back to Tiffany either! Not after all she's done!” a frustrated Van yelled finally looking up at Irvine for the first time since he entered the room.

 

Irvine saw just how bad the situation was for Van. Although he was glad that it wasn't happening to him, he still felt bad for Van. Because of Tiffany's selfishness, Van might have to give up the one good thing he had going in his life expect for his business. “I don't think that's what Tiffany wants. She probably wants to keep your marriage intact,” he said rubbing his forehead.

 

“You think I don't know that?! There's too much pressure on me right now to do the right things since it was basically told to the entire world! I need to figure out what's actually happening right now before I make any decision,” Van said standing up and walking out of the office before Irvine could stop him.

 

Irvine watched him leave and sighed knowing there was no point stopping him. He felt that if Van got what he wanted, that maybe things would get better. He just hoped that Van wouldn't give up on his relationship with Fiona. He was miserable after the first time and he would probably be even worse if it happened a second time.

 

*****

 

From what Fiona could tell Moonbay was having the time of her life. There was a casino at their hotel and she was going from one table to the next. She didn't have much luck but she was the type that wouldn't give up no matter what. She always kept saying when she lost that she felt lucky about the next round. This was what she'd been saying for the past two days and she still continued to lose.

 

Fiona sighed as she leaned back in a chair. She wasn't much of a gambler and was probably only able to do slot machines but that's easy enough for anyone. She felt like she could only do so many times of that before it started to get boring.

 

Fiona stood up and walked over to the table Moonbay was at. “How much longer are you going to be Moonbay? I'm hungry and we really haven't eaten much all day,” she said with a sigh as her stomach growled a bit over the noise of the lively casino around them.

 

Moonbay looked up from her cards and looked at Fiona thinking quickly. “Um… yeah sure. Could you do me a favor first?” she asked and Fiona just nodded her head. “Can you head back up to the room and grab the rest of my money? I'm almost out right now and we won't have the money for food if you don't,” she said before putting a losing hand down.

 

“Um… sure. I'll be about ten minutes. Can you meet me in the lobby then?” she asked and this time it was Moonbay who nodded her head. “Ok. Just be ready when I get back down,” Fiona said before she started running towards the elevator.

 

Fiona took the elevator all the way up to their floor and walked slowly since she forgot where exactly the room was. She knew the number though. It didn't take long to find it either. She tried to unlock the door but noticed that it was already unlocked. “What?” she asked but just figured that Moonbay forgot to lock it when they left.

 

Fiona opened the door and walked into the room and saw exactly what Moonbay was talking about. She grabbed some cash and then was about to leave when she suddenly had a feeling that there was someone else in the room with her.

 

Fiona turned around quickly and her eyes widened in shock and fear when she saw that it was Ethan that was sitting in a chair across the room. He was sitting by the door but she didn't see him when she first came in because the wall was at his back and she didn't look that way when she needed to. “W-what are you doing here?” she said as she took a few steps back.

 

“You don't look happy to see me,” he muttered not looking very happy himself. “I had business here and I'm sure you could imagine my surprise when I saw you and that friend of yours were staying here. I just thought I'd stop and say hello,” he said looking straight into her crimson eyes.

 

“Leave!” Fiona ordered since the last two times she came into contact with him, she'd ended up injured from him hitting her. She frowned even more when he didn't move from his seat. “Leave!” she yelled even louder pointing to the door.

 

Ethan finally stood up but didn't seem to be heading towards the door. “Tell me something Fiona, how are things going for you and Flyheight? Oh wait. I guess they aren't going good according to the news,” she said with a bit of a smirk.

 

Fiona continued to take a few steps back but he continued to advance. “I want you to leave or I swear I'll call security,” she warned him but she was surprised when she saw a smirk. She picked up the phone but didn't hear anything. It was only then that she noticed the lines were cut.

 

“I doubt it,” he said with amusement in his voice. “How does it feel Fiona? How does it feel to give up everything that was actually good about you to Flyheight you slut?” he asked as he continued to advance. “How many others were there? I've been going through it in my head ever since you left and I saw what a mistake you were in the first place. I bet you were opening those legs of yours to everyone but me you whore!” he said as he finally reached her. He then smacked her hard in the face.

 

Fiona fell to the floor by the bed hard and clutched her face. She didn't see much that would help her out of this situation since Moonbay was still downstairs. “Why won't you leave me alone?” she cried as a few tears actually started to fall down her face.

 

She just couldn't seem to get a break that day. First it was the news announcement of Tiffany's and then she just happened the find the last person that she wanted to see here of all places. `Didn't Moonbay say this was supposed to be relaxing?' she asked herself as she looked up at the man in front of her.

 

“Why won't I leave you alone?” he asked with amusement in his voice. “Because you betrayed me and that's simply unacceptable to me. Naughty girls like you need to be punished,” he said with a sneer on his face. “Even if you beg now I won't take you back anymore. That time has come and gone. You're just used goods now that is no good to me anyone!” he said kicking her in the stomach.

 

Fiona coughed as she tried to catch her breath. “You're just a monster. I never betrayed you. I wanted you to stop but you never did. Then you became abusive with me for no reason. I never cheated on you with Van. It was only in your mind that I did!” Fiona said defiantly as she looked up into his dark brown eyes.

 

“Liar!” he yelled grabbing a chunk of her hair and pulling her up. “Quit denying that you cheated on me!” he yelled punching her in the stomach before throwing her on the bed. “You're not good enough for me anymore. Not after what you did!” he yelled picking her up again and threw her into the wall which she slid down.

 

Fiona groaned as she managed to open her eyes and look at his approaching figure. “I feel sorry for anyone you've been with before,” she managed to say before she was picked up. `Van!' she mentally screamed in her head wishing that he'd come and save her like he did last time. `He doesn't even know where I am.'

 

*****

 

Moonbay waited as patiently as she could for Fiona to come back down. She was out of money now and Fiona was bringing down the rest so that they could get something to eat. `Where is she?' she asked herself as she tapped her foot and looked at her watch which showed that Fiona was really late.

 

It had been at least twenty minutes since she went up to the hotel room and Moonbay knew that it shouldn't take that long to get up there and grab something before coming back down. “She sure is taking her sweet time,” she grumbled trying to figure out if she should go up or continue to wait.

 

“Screw it! I'm tired of waiting!” she said heading towards the elevator. She pressed the up button and waited impatiently for it to come down. The elevator came to a stop but someone came plowing past her. “Watch it!” she yelled getting onto the elevator and pressing the button to their floor.

 

The elevator rose and then came to a stop on their floor and Moonbay got out and quickly walked in the direction of their room. She came to a stop when she saw the door was cracked open a bit and then opened it.

 

She couldn't believe the horror that was laid out before her. The room was a complete mess. The mirror was nearly completely shattered, also the chairs and stuff like that were overturned or broken, and the mirror was shattered. The worst of it all was lying in the middle of the room. “Fiona!” Moonbay yelled rushing to Fiona's side.

 

She was frantic and immediately checked Fiona's pulse and was glad to see that she was alive. Her body was in taters though. Her clothes were ripped and she had multiple cuts all over her body. She just laid there unconscious in a small pool of her own blood.

 

Moonbay knew that she needed to get Fiona to a doctor immediately. “Hang on Fiona!” Moonbay said as she quickly got up and rushed to the phone but freaked out when she saw that it didn't work. “I'll be right back!” Moonbay yelled rushing out the door hoping to find someone to help.

 

She went pounding on several doors but many people didn't seem to be in since it was still the early hours of the night. The more she pounded, the more frantic she became. `No wonder no one heard and came to help, no one's here!' Moonbay thought pounding on just about every door on the floor.

 

Moonbay had just about given up hope when she saw a door open and a disgruntled looking man opened it. “What is it that you had to come breaking down my door for?” he asked a bit angrily because he was apparently trying to call it an early night even though it was barely nine.

 

“Please sir. I'm desperate. I need you to call the paramedics. My friends been seriously hurt and needs to be rushed to the hospital immediately!” Moonbay said feeling like she was on the verge of tears. She wouldn't be surprised if she actually did start crying which was unusual for her.

 

The man immediately dropped his disgruntled look. “I'm a doctor, let me see her first and maybe I can do something!” he said and Moonbay nodded and led him to her room where Fiona was still laying still. Moonbay didn't dare move her for fear of doing more damage.

 

The doctor immediately started to look her over but the look on his face didn't seem to be too good. “Stay here with her! I'll go call an ambulance immediately! Don't move her!” he said and Moonbay nodded and he left.

 

Moonbay just sat there as her friend seemed to grow weaker and weaker. She couldn't stand it. The waiting was killing her. “Hang on Fiona!' she thought desperately as she heard a rustling down the hall which meant that the ambulance had finally arrived. `Please hold on!'
