Chapter 3- Bad News.

Russell P.O.V

I woke up hearing Saza coughing violently. I turned to see that Saza wasn't in bed. I jumped out of bed and ran into to the en suite. Saza was there, she had stopped coughing. She was standing next to the sink taking a drink of water, she had tears in her eyes. I walked over to her. "Are you alright?" I asked. I was really concerned.

"Yeah. Sorry if I woke you up." She said, her voice just above a whisper. She placed the glass down on the sink. I held my arms out and she fell into them, she started to cry and I don't think she knew why.

"Shh it will be ok." I said stroking her back. She didn't stop crying.

"I feel so pathetic." She said above the tears.

"No your not and don't you dare go saying it about yourself. You are not pathetic, if any thing you are brave. You had been beaten twice and have been close to death, you survived. Its all brave." I said trying to comfort Saza. She cried harder.

"What would I do without you Russell?" She said. I smiled.

"Hey do you want to watch a DVD downstairs, your choice?" I asked her. She pulled away and looked at me smiling.

"Ok where are the DVD's?"

"In the living room, next to the tv. Have you never noticed?"

"Nope." Saza smiled. She walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs.

I walked to our bed and got the duvet and brought it to the living room. Once in the living room Saza had placed the disk in the DVD player. She went and sat on the sofa. I placed the duvet on Saza and she started to giggle. I sat down with her under the duvet.

"So what are we watching?" I asked.

"Stardust." She replied.

Saza P.O.V

We had just finished watching the film. I was cuddled up to Russell even though he was asleep. He had fallen asleep within the first twenty minutes of the film.

I herd a knocking on the door. It didn't wake Russell up, so I got up and walked toward the door. I opened the door to see Madeline.

"Hiya Mads. What's up?" I asked, letting her in.

"Saza I have some bad news for you." Madeline said walking upstairs. I reluctantly followed her. She went into my bedroom and sat on the bed.

"What is it?" I asked nervously.

"You know you mum and dad, well if you can call them that, have died in a car crash." She said.

"W-what I-I can't believe it. The last thing I said to my mum was that I hated her. They looked after me and raised me as their own..." I burst out crying. Madeline held me, she didn't say anything, she just held me.

Russell P.O.V

I herd crying upstairs. I instantly knew it was Saza. I ran upstairs into the bedroom to see Madeline holding Saza, who was crying her eyes out.

"Everyone is dying, my baby and now my parents." She cried out loud. Madeline kept shushing her. Madeline looked up at me and she let go of Saza. I sat next to her and held her. She seemed to have stopped crying, but she was shaking. I didn't like the fact that we were all upstairs, so I picked Saza up and started to carry her downstairs. Madeline followed us into the living room. I laid Saza on one of the sofa's and placed the duvet on her.

I went over to Madeline. "I am going to call my brother." Said Madeline.

"Why?" I asked, confused why she said this.

"Sam is one of the only people that have been able to cheer her up after bad news. They have known each other since they were babies. Sam is only two weeks older than her, so they connect very well." Said Madeleine pulling out her phone.

She placed her phone against her ears. "Hi sam... Yep I know... I need you to come down here Saza is upset and you can cheer her up... Oh that's good... I will meet you at the usual place... Ok. Bye." Madeline hung up the phone. "Prick."

"Why did you call him a prick?" I asked Madeline.

"He said that I should leave and that would cheer her up." I started to laugh, I couldn't help it. "Oi don't you start."

I went back over to Saza who had managed to get some sleep. "I am worried about her." I said to Madeline.

"We all are." Was her reply.

"She has had a rough few months, nothing has gone right for her." I said not taking my eyes of Saza.

"Yeah but she has got you, that is one thing that has gone perfect for her."

I looked up at Madeline and smiled.
