Destiny: 6

''What is this?!'' I shouted and held the little bag up. Dom looked up at it and grinned.

''What do you think, silly?'' he giggled and ruffled my hair. ''You're so silly sometimes!''

I looked angrily at him and opened the bag. I sniffed it carefully, wrinkled my nose and threw it away. ''That's fucking drugs,'' I murmured and looked back at Dom. ''Why?''

''Why what?'' he giggled.

''Why do you take drugs?!'' I shouted angrily and Dom giggled again.

''Because it makes me happy, silly.'' he giggled. He pointed at his crotch, grinned and rolled his hips. I looked at it, blushed and looked away quickly. ''You, too, should take some.'' he whispered, his voice suddenly coming from close to my ear.

I shook my head and sighed. ''I can't Dom, I can't...'' I looked up at him and bit on my lips. ''I've a family. I've to take care of Colin, and I can't when I'm high or whatever.''

Dom gritted his teeth and looked angrily at me. ''You're so stupid, Matt.''

''Why do you say that?'' I whispered softly and Dom rose from his chair.

''Get out of my house!'' He shouted and I frowned.

''Why?'' I asked and he pulled me to the front door, throwing me out of his house.

''You're stupid!'' he screamed angrily and hit my face. ''You're so fucking stubborn! You just don't get it!'' He slammed the door shut and left me alone. I frowned, looked around and sighed. What did I do wrong, again? I was just being smart, right? Maybe I should have taken it...

I shook my head, stopped a taxi and got inside. We drove back to the hospital and I stared blankly outside. 

I walked into the hospital, to Evelyn's room and smiled when I saw Chris and Collin. ''Thanks for staying here.'' I said softly and sat down on a chair next to Evelyn's bed.

Colin crawled in my lap and Chris grinned. ''You're welcome.''

''Did something happen?'' I asked and stroked Colin's hair.

Chris shook his head and sighed. ''Nope.'' he looked at me and frowned. ''How's Dom?''

I shrugged and sighed. ''He takes drugs,'' Chris gasped and I looked up at him. ''I know. It's horrible. He wanted me to try it, but I said no and he kicked me out of his house.'' I shrugged again. I was definitely not going to tell him about the kiss.

''That's... horrible.'' he said softly.

I nodded and looked sadly at Evelyn. To be honest, she looked terrible. She was pale and she... she just wasn't Evelyn anymore. We sat in silence for a while until Chris rose from his chair. ''I guess we'll go, hmm?'' Colin kissed my cheek, slid off my lap and walked to Chris. Chris grabbed him, placed him on his shoulders and waved at me. ''Bye, Matt. Good luck.''

I nodded, waved back and sighed. ''Thanks, Chis..''

They walked away and I grabbed Evelyn's hand, stroking it with my thumb. I sighed deeply and looked at her face. ''I'm so sorry, it's all my fault...'' 

It was a few weeks later and I hadn't seen Colin since Chris had been here with him. I missed him lots. I missed his little laugh, his happiness and his love. I decided to leave Evelyn for a few hours and went to Chris' house; Colin was still staying there.

The door opened immediately after I'd knocked and Colin squealed. I knelt down, opened my arms and he jumped into them. I hugged him tightly, walked into Chris' house and closed the door after me.

''We're here.'' I heard Chris saying from the living room and walked into it. I sat down on the couch and held Colin tightly, stroking his hair softly. Chris looked at me and smiled sadly. ''How is she?''

I shrugged, shook my head and sighed. ''It's getting worse. Her heart is beating slower and they're afraid she'll...,'' I swallowed heavily and took a deep breath. ''she'll die soon.''

''I'm sorry...'' Chris whispered and Kelly hugged me tightly. I sighed softly, let go of Colin and hugged her back.

''I'm fine...'' I murmured and grabbed Colin again, after I'd let go of Kelly. ''I already thought it would happen. She's been in a coma for almost two months now, or something... And it only got worse, so yeah...''

Colin pouted and hugged me tightly. ''I'm sorry, daddy.''

I giggled and squeezed him. ''It's okay, little one.''

Kelly came back from the kitchen and placed a cup of tea in front of me on the table. I grabbed it, took a sip carefully and smiled. ''Lemon tea?'' she nodded and grinned. ''Thanks.''

Colin jumped off of my lap and ran to the garden, where he began to play football with Alfie and Frankie. I looked at them, smiled and sipped my tea from time to time.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and I quickly placed my cup on the table. I grabbed my phone and answered it, without looking at who it was. ''Hello?''

''Hello, Mr. Bellamy,'' said doctor Nicholls and my stomach dropped. ''Can I talk to you?''

I nodded and said quietly, ''yes'' when I realized he couldn't see it.

''I'm sorry to tell you this, but,'' he sighed. ''Miss Johnson died after you'd left.''

''No...'' I whispered and shook my head. ''Are you sure? Isn't it just a weird coma thingy?''

''I'm sure, I'm sorry,'' doctor Nicholls replied sadly. ''It happened really quickly.''

''Thank you.'' I whispered quietly, ended the call and threw my phone on the couch.

Chris and Kelly looked worried at me and I started to cry, for what felt like the thousand time these few months. ''S-she died.'' I sobbed and Kelly and Chris hugged me both, whispering things to me I didn't hear above my sobs.
