His angel

13.

"Adam? I'm scared." It was almost 4am and there was still no information about dad.

"Me too, Jules, but it's going to be okay." I nodded and sat back in the chair, taking a deep breath. "Are you and Sebastian together?"

"No, we are not. I mean, to tell you the truth, I like him and I don't know if Sebastian likes me too, but I don't know where it will go. I know you don't like him, but I know him, he is a good guy." I always tell everything to Adam and I couldn't hide this from him.

Adam looked at me and smiled. "He came with you to the hospital, and now he is standing in that long line to get you something to eat. I saw how he looks at you, Jules, he likes you, believe me. I hate the fact you picked him, but I can live with it. I just don't want you to get hurt like I did."

I turned my head to see Sebastian waiting patiently in line. I saw how tired he was. Regardless, he still looked painfully attractive. His curls fall across his eyes and his muscles are visible through his tight shirt. He was taller than most of the people around him.

As if he could feel my eyes on him, he looked at me. He smiled when he saw me staring and winked at me. I blushed and returned him the smile, then he turned back to the counter when it was his turn to order.

Sebastian came back with food for all of us. I thanked him and started eating the warm croissants. I leaned on his shoulder and I don't remember when I fell asleep, but I woke up with Sebastian's arm around my shoulder and my head on his chest. When I looked up, I saw he was sleeping with his head on the wall. I looked at the clock and it said 9am. We were here for almost 12 hours and nothing.

Adam was beside the opposite wall looking at his phone.

"Are you Mr. Anderson's family?" A doctor came from the door on our left, where the operating rooms are.

"Yes, I'm his son. How is he? Is he okay?" Adam immediately jumped and I joined him, waking up Sebastian.

The doctor looked at us with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but your father passed away on the operating table, the bleeding..."

When he said my dad passed away, I didn't listen anymore. My head started spinning and tears flowed down my face like a waterfall. I barely acknowledged Sebastian hugging me, holding me up when my legs felt like jello.

I looked at Adam and saw him crying and he punched the wall. I went to hug him and we both calmed down a little. I can't believe it's all happening again. We are left without both of our parents, and I don't know what will happen now.

"Let's go home, we all need some warm food and a good sleep." Sebastian said after Adam and I calmed down a little.

When we came home, Adam and I both went straight to dad's study and sat on the leather couch he had there. I laid my head on Adam's shoulder as he hugged me tightly.

"We're going to get through this, okay?" He said sadly, running his hand up and down on my back.

"Are we? It's happening all over again." I said tears threatening to fall again.

"We'll figure it out. We still have each other."

I pulled away from the hug and looked him in the eyes. "Please move back here. Claire won't be here much longer, and I can't be alone in this house. "

He nodded and I jumped back into his hug. Sebastian called us to come eat and Adam stopped when he heard Claire's voice. What's going on?

"Adam?" Claire said as soon as she saw us and her eyes were glossy. Sarah was here too and she was as confused as I was..

"Claire." He exhaled loudly. "You left without a word, ignored me for four years and now you are living in my house?" Adam spat angrily at her.

Tears were threatening to fall from Claire's eyes as she yelled back. "I ignored you? I called you every fucking day for a month! You never answered. I needed you Adam and you weren't there."

Now he looked confused and stepped closer to her, now talking more calmly. "You called? I never...oh my god. You did call, but the number was foreign so I didn't pick it up. That was you?"

She nodded, more tears falling down her face. Adam hugged her and apologized like 20 times and then she hugged him back. Sarah, Sebastian and me just stood there confused as to what the fuck was happening. Lizzie ran to us on her little feet and jumped into Claire's arms. Adam looked from Claire to Lizzie and a few tears fell from his eyes.

"Is she...? He asked half the question, his voice shaking.

"Yeah, our daughter."

"Our?!" All three of us yelled at the same time.

"Claire, what the hell is happening here?" Sebastian asked, getting impatient.

We all sat down on the couch, while Adam and Clare were on the chair opposite of us. I didn't understand a single thing here. Is Adam the father of Claire's child? It all happened so fast, I don't even know what I heard.

Claire cleared her throat and began telling us everything. How she and Adam would sneak around, dating in secrecy because of her family and how they were in love. It all went smoothly until the day she found out she was pregnant and Adam said they shouldn't tell their family's but go away, just the two of them.

But her mom saw the pregnancy test hidden in her room and that's when she forbade her to see or even talk to Adam. But at night he would climb to her room and they would plan when they would run away together. Her dad found them one night. The next day she was sent on a plane to Canada.

I remember how Adam was complaining that some weird number keeps calling him, but he never answered. It was Claire. Now that I look more closely I can see that Lizzie is very similar to Adam. She has his nose and hair color.

"So Lizzie is actually my niece?" I asked, already feeling ecstatic. They both nodded and my smile got even bigger if that's possible

Adam looked at Sebastian and sighted. "I'm sorry. I hated you because I thought your sister just ran away from me. I was hurt and it wasn't right to be a jerk to you. But I thought that you would do the same to Julia as I thought Claire did to me."

Sebastian shook his head. "I get it. Don't worry."

"I'm still really confused here. You two have a baby together?" Sarah asked, completely lost.

After we ate , Adam came with me to my room. "Would you mind if Claire and Lizzie stay here? I would love to have them close to me after five years."

"Of course, I would love that too, Adam. Lizzie needs you and Claire too, I can see in your eyes you love them both."

"And Sebastian can stay as well if he wants. But you two will be in separate rooms, I will guard the hall at night if necessary." I laughed at his protectiveness and smacked his shoulder playfully.
