Verity's POV

I paced the floor outside theatre, hes been in there 4 hours already what are they doing to him? Im going out of my mind right now, I cant believe hes stuck in here. I swear if I ever find out who did this to him im going to kill them. I thought back to the whirlwind of activity when I got home.

Flashback

I walked up the road towards my house, there were police cars and ambulances parked outside. I gasped and ran up the road as fast as I could, "excuse me whats happened?" I asked the police standing by the door. "Im afraid we cant inform the general public" he replied. "Excuse me that's my house, me and my dad live here" I told him.

"Your father is mr lambert?" he questioned, "yes my dad is adam lambert now let me in please" I said. "Im afraid we cant miss" he answered, I rolled my eyes and shoved past him ducking from his grasp. There were crap loads of police and a forensic team, I ran into the front room and stopped in my tracks.

There was blood on the floor and up the wall, my dad was on the floor. He was still, blood all over his face and tshirt. Tommy was next to him, unmoving with his hair stuck together with blood. I let out a shaky breath and went to go to them, I was stopped.

"This is a crime scene miss you need to leave" an officer said, "that's my dad please whats happened to him" I asked. She took me into the hallway, "your dad and mr Ratliff were attacked by someone. We don't know who, but they were long gone by the time we got here. We need to get them both to the hospital before we can establish what is wrong with them" she told me as my dad and tommy were led out on stretchers. "Can I go with them?" I asked, she nodded as I headed into the ambulance with my dad and tommy. We headed to the hospital and well here I am.

End of flashback...

Eventually a doctor came out, he looked over at me. "Are you verity Lambert?" he asked, "yes" I replied. "Is there a parent we can talk to?" he asked, "no I don't have a mum just my dad" I told him. "Ok that would make you the only contactable relative correct?" he asked as I nodded.

"Well yeah my nan and granddad live in a different continent and my mother is god knows where. His boyfriend has gone awol" I said. "Ok well would you like to step into my office?" he asked. I followed him and sat down, "so whats the deal?" I asked. He moved his glasses further up his nose and looked at me.

"Im afraid it isnt great he has Swelling on the brain, a broken nose, swollen lip, 2 black eyes, 3 broken ribs, a fractured wrist and a whole lot of bruises and cuts" he said. "So what does that mean?" I asked, "it means we've had to operate and put him into a medically induced coma. Hes in ICU on a high dependency ward" he explained.

"So is he going to die?" I asked, "Im afraid we cant tell at this point in time. Im sorry we don't have more information for you miss" he said. I nodded and stood up before leaving the room, I leant against the wall breathing heavily. I could loose my dad..
