Sat staring at the hospital wall, the dirty, pale green hospital wall, with nurses, doctors, other visitors rushing around me, all on some sort of mission, mouse desperately talking to anyone he could to find out what happened, Timothy walked over to me holding a drink, he stood there, holding it out to me "Thankyou" I took it from him slowly, he then sat down next to me, close...too close, I then felt an arm wrap around my shoulder "remove your limb...before I do" "Charlie Charlie Charlie, I know you don't like me, no one likes their step dad, it's natural" "is raping, attempting to murder and armed robbery natural too?" I turned to him slowly, his face dropped "how'd you know about that?" "Oh good, you're not denying it then...this'll be easier" "have you been stalking me?" "Oh and the rest, something was off about you, and my god did I hit the jackpot when I found your mugshot" I hissed at him smiling at the passers by who heard me, "that was a long time ago Charlie" "you got released 3 years ago...I don't count that as a long time ago" he drank his drink "I brought your mother to the hospital, if I were such a bad man, I would've left her" "if I find out, that you had anything to do with this...I will become your worst nightmare, and I'd go to prison, happily, for what I'd do to you" I stood up, putting the drink down and walked down the corridor "you okay babe?" "I'm going to see my mum" "okay sweet, hey, I'm still trying to find out anything" "no worries...thanks Hun" I kissed his cheek as I made my way to the door...
Pushing the door open slowly I tried to hide the shock as she smiled at me "hey Charlie!" She grinned, her head wrapped in a bandage, in iv drip in her hand, she looked so pale, "hey!" My voice went high, as I attempted to stop any form of tears appearing "hey Come on over here, how was your trip to New York!" "It was great! We went everywhere we saw-" she suddenly turned to me "mum you okay?" I began to panic "oh I'm fine sweetie, but, the doctor said that, I may have episodes where I forget things, forget what I'm doing or...or...forget you.." "Mum he also said you might get it back! No more episodes..." She smiled at me "Charlie...I know, but if I don't let me say this now...okay...I might not always remember you, but please...don't forget to remember me" I felt that sting in the back of my throat, "I'd never forget you mum..." She suddenly looked at me confused "who are you? You're upset do you need help? I think I'm in a hospital, I can call you a nurse?" " hey, Erm no no I'm Charlie, I'm your daughter, I don't need help...I'm fine, thank you though that's very throughtful of you" I smiled as more tears fell, she looked at her left hand "where's my husband? I notice my wedding ring" I took a breath as I wiped my eyes quickly "He er, he died mum...a few years ago" "oh...were we a happy family?" "Very happy, we were the best" "tell me about him!!" "Okay, we er, the family holidays were the best, we we used to go camping and one time, ha one time I fell over, and you told me to walk back to the tent, but dad noticed and it turned out I'd broken my le-...mum?" "Why you telling me about holidays you nutter I was there" mum chuckled "anyway carry on telling me about New York! Did you go up the Statue of Liberty?" I held her hand and kissed the back of it "hey mum...can I ask you a question?" "Of course you can sweetheart, hey how about when I get my bum out of here we go for a nice coffee and cake in that cake shop you tell me about all the time" "do you know about Timothy?" "Know what about him my love?" "His past?" "I know all about it! He used to be a doctor! And he used to work in a superstore and once he stopped an accident happening by dragging a girl down a road" she couldn't believe this crap surely? "Mum...he been in prison" "oh Charlie, don't be silly, he's lovely" "no...no mum he's bad" "oh Charlie you're just saying that because he's replacing your dad" and with perfect timing, Meg walked through the door, I grabbed my car keys, my jacket and handbag as I stood up "that bastard, will NEVER replace my dad....NEVER, bye Meg, have fun" I walked out the door and took a breath. Mouse had gone to work, he had to leave he'd been Called in for backup, Timothy ran towards my side "how is she?" "Go to hell." I ragged my arm from his grip and made my way to my car, before quickly speeding off.
I was driving down a road when I just couldn't see anymore, the anger, the upset had all built up, and tears were now streaming as well as the snot, I eventually pulled over and just cried, I cried into my steering wheel, what felt like hours went by when someone tapped on my window, expecting the police or a passerby I tried to wipe my eyes quickly, as they opened the car door and pulled me out, I found my way into Flynn's chest where he hugged me so tightly "it's okay mum...she'll get better" I could hear the break in his voice, he didn't believe in what he was saying himself "I know baby" I hugged him tighter "budge over, I'm driving home, I want to know a few things" I nodded as I got in the passenger side, Flynn drove off at a steady pace.
We were an hours drive from home, we'd had general chit chat when he took a breath "tell me about Timothy" as I began to fill him in he seemed distracted "what's wrong?" "I'm guessing you haven't seen Facebook recently..." "No why?" He got out his phone and passed it to me, several news articles with my face flashed up, a photo of me, close to Timothy, shouting at him, with comments below, Nasty comments, "I can't do this anymore...." I closed the phone down "I don't want to do this anymore" "do what mum?" "Be famous, I don't want to be famous! I don't want the fame, I'm sick of being in the limelight my life was so simple before all this! None of this would be online if I were a normal human being..." "Mum, you don't mean that, look at all the good that's come from it" "but look at the bad, I cannot have a private life anymore, I just-" "you can use this to your advantage" "what?" He pulled up outside the house "I'll tell you inside" I followed him in.
He brought over a hot chocolate with all the trimmings as he sat opposite me "look, I don't trust Timothy as far as I can throw him" "right?" "Use your popularity, to get back at him, I reckon he pushed gran down the stairs, I've been to her house, and there's scuffs along the wall, and nail prints in the carpet, she was dragged...and she was pushed, and I reckon by timothy, so use this mum, use this to get him" "she was pushed? He pushed her?" "I think so mum" he held my hand and squeezed it gently "we can get him, and put him back where he belongs, I'm more than happy to help you, and so is uncle Jared and Jensen" he looked at me and smiled kindly, I smiled a little at him before taking a mouthful of squirty cream.
