Battles In Life

52

Waking up Lochie had already left I rolled over to look at my phone seeing Lochie had sent me a message I couldn't help but smile.

Lochie - good morning gorgeous I hope you had a great sleep, I didn't want to wake you. I wish I could've stayed holding you.
- good morning I did sleep well. It's a shame you had to go but I will see you later. I hope you got enough sleep and don't work too hard.

Slowly pulling myself out of bed, I walked into the bathroom turning the shower on and stripped out of my clothes Then got in.
I prefer my showers in the morning it helps me wake up plus with Lochie and I always over each other the night before I need to clean myself up.
After washing my body and my hair, I turned the water off then stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around my body and walked back to the bedroom drying my body off and got some clothes on. Checking my phone, i had another message from Lochie.

Lochie - a couple of shoots today and a bit of paperwork but nothing drastic. I might be a little late home though.
- that's okay, you have work to do.
Lochie - I know. Take it easy please
- always.
Lochie - what have you got planned today?
- nothing at this stage I might go see corey
Lochie - why?
- why not? It gets me out of the house
Lochie - okay be safe
- of course I will be fine.

Putting my phone down, I brushed my hair throwing it up into a ponytail then grabbed my phone and walked to the kitchen making myself a tea and some breakfast.
Lochie doesn't want me drinking coffee and in a way I understand why, he wants to make sure nothing goes wrong this time but I really do miss my morning coffee. I know he is not here but I swear he knows even if one teaspoon of coffee is missing.
Finishing off my breakfast and tea I quickly brushed my teeth, grabbed my phone and key card before leaving my apartment.
I don't mind walking out in public anymore. people notice me but they rarely stop me now which is fantastic. Walking into the jiu jitsu centre corey was behind the front desk.
"Hey dana what brings you here?" "Getting myself out of the apartment, thought I'd come say hi" "how have you been feeling?" "Not bad actually I'm glad the morning sickness is over" corey Chuckled "I can imagine I'm sure it wouldn't have been nice" "no definitely not. Busy day?" "Nah not really, Reilly has most of the sessions today I'm just doing some paperwork, the boring stuff" I chuckled "that sounds thrilling" "yeah but it's all part of the job" "that's true. Are you and Lochie still joining us for lunch on Sunday?" "I believe so we have some news to tell them" "did you tell your parents before they left?" "Yeah we did they were ecstatic" "and the court case?" "Life in prison with a chance of parole In fifteen years" "good the b*tch deserves it" "agree I have no pity for her".
"Excuse me a moment" "sure" looking at my phone it was an unknown number.
"Hello dana speaking" "hi my name is Brian am I speaking with dana blanche daughter of Janelle and emmett blanche" "yes that is me is everything okay?" "I'm sorry to inform you of this ma'am. Your parents flight BA one seven four crashed into the north atlantic ocean there were no survivors" "NO" the tears streamed down my face as I dropped to my knees "is.. this..a..joke" "I'm sorry ma'am" "no this can't be happening" I dropped my phone to the ground not caring about what else the guy had to say.
"Dana what's going on?" I didn't even have the strength to look at corey, my life has just been destroyed. My parents, my loving parents, the ones who have always been with me through everything have died. they won't get to see our baby, they will miss everything. They didn't deserve to die they deserved to live a long happy life.
Corey wrapped his arms around me tight "dana you need to tell me what's going on" "my..parents.. their plane crashed.. no survivors" corey only held me tighter.

Lochie

"That's perfect heather" "thanks Lochie".
"One sec". Grabbing my phone from my pocket it was corey calling me.
"Corey what's up?" "You need to get down here now" "the jiu jitsu centre?" "Yes" "what's going on corey?, why can I hear dana crying?" "Her parents plane crashed in the atlantic no survivors" "oh.. f*ck". I hung up the phone tears were running down my face, I don't even know what to do. "Lochie" "I'm sorry heather I've got to go" she only nodded.
I needed to get to dana and fast.
Jumping in my car, I headed straight for the jiu jitsu centre. Pulling up out the front I got out of my car and ran inside. "Corey" he had his arms tight around dana trying to comfort her. She was sitting on the floor curled up, I could hear her sobs and it killed me. She has just lost two of the most important people in her life. Corey looked at me with sadness and pain written all over his face but didn't say anything and he didn't need too.
"Lochies here dana" she didn't even move and in this moment I don't blame her. nothing would be registering in her mind. Corey moved letting me take his place. "Come here baby" pulling her tight against my chest I didn't even know what to say I just held her.
"Lochie you may need to move, the class will be ending shortly" I nodded. Standing up I went to pick her up but she pushed my hand away "I can walk" she grabbed her phone from the ground and stood up. I have never lost anyone but I know what loss can do to someone, I seen christian go through the same thing when he lost his sister. The anger is part of it. "I want to go home" "okay".
Dana just walked straight out of the jiu jitsu centre. "Thanks for calling me corey and for comforting her until I got here" "you better go she has already started walking home". I looked out the door to see corey was right. I nodded "I will see you soon".
Walking out, I couldn't see dana anywhere my guess is she is running home. I need to get there, yesterday.
Getting in my car. I took off back to the apartments. hopefully I can beat her up there she needs someone with her and as much as she would want to be alone, I won't let that happen.
Pulling up I got out of my car locking it then headed up the elevator and opened her apartment door. She wasnt here yet but if she is running she won't be far.
Just sitting on the couch waiting for dana to come in, I was unsure what to do. Nothing I do, can bring her parents back but I need to keep her healthy and try help her somehow, she is carrying our baby. I heard the door open and looked straight towards it as Dana walked in with tears running down her cheeks. "Dana" "I want to be alone Lochie" I stood up walking towards her "no I will not be leaving you alone" "I'm going to bed" I nodded. good she will need to rest, I don't like the fact that she ran back here but some exercise is okay as long as she doesn't push herself too hard.
Dana walked straight to the room. I was tempted to follow but I know she wants to be alone. I will just wait until she is asleep to join her. F*ck she just cant catch a break. My heart aches for her.

Walking into the room dana looked to be asleep. Removing my suit, I climbed into bed beside her pulling her close. Her head resting on my chest, I know it comforts her and I will do anything I can for her. "Why them Lochie, why my parents" f*ck I didn't know how to answer that question "I don't know dana but I will be with you always" holding her tighter dana put her arm over me but never said anything else just laid in my arms like she was numb. The tears had stopped but I knew she wasn't asleep. her breathing was still the same slow and steady. her mind will be either numb or running wild and there's nothing I can do to help her, just be here for her. Placing a kiss on the top of her head, I just continued to hold her.
