Michael was in deep thought when the doctor came out of the emergency room a good 5 hours after they arrived in the hospital. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't even notice the doctor until he cleared his throat quite loudly.
"Oh, I am sorry. Doctor. How is she?" Michael asked. He seemed to look quite tired. He was in his mid 30s and he had square, thick rimmed glasses almost identical to Ashton's.
"Yes she is fine. May I speak to a relative of the patient please?" The doctor politely asked. Michael then poked Amelia's shoulders. She stirred and finally woke up. The mere sight of the doctor in a whitecoat made her shoot up.
"How is she Doctor?" Amelia said with tears in her eyes that were threatening to spill.
"You must be Ms. Vera Cornelia Janus." The doctor said. Amelia gave him a confused look. "No Dr. my name is Venice Amelia Janus. Uhm Cornelia is my twin along with Vinio Ophelia Janus."
The doctor squinted at her then shook his head. He seemed sad then finally he spoke up. "Lady Amelia" What surprised Michael was that the Doctor kneeled at her feet and kissed the back of her hand. Amelia stood up fascinatingly straight and tapped the doctors shoulders motioning him to stand up. He took his mask off and Michael could see a glint of recognition in Amelia's eyes.
"Henry, is this really you? You have grown." she said to the doctor holding his face as if it was the end of the world.
"Yes m'lady." says the doctor.
"Oh but what about Jane?" Amelia said her voice breaking again.
"Lady Amel--"
"Please call me Amelia, for now."
"Madamme Ame--"
"Henry, just Amelia"
The doctor hesistated then started talking again.
"Ms. Amelia, Jane is fine but she keeps calling out for Lady Cornelia and she wont calm down. We have injected some depressants as she is now asleep. It took us 3 hours to clean her wounds because there were tiny shards of glass stuck onto her skin and the rest of the hour was spent stitching up her cuts and then she thrashed for a good 30 minutes after we put her to sleep.
"Oh" was the only thing Amelia could say.
"Henry, I must warn you. Cornelia is dead. She passed away three weeks ago." Amelia said bluntly while looking into space.
"Oh you must see her now. She will be up in a few." Henry said as he motioned for the door.
Amelia took a deep breath as she stood to walk towards the room.

Michael waited until Amelia came out of the room only to find her as pale as a ghost.
"What happened?" Michael said as she sat down next to her.
Ashton and Calum were still asleep while Luke went home to get food and to somehow take care of their apartment while the other boys were away.
"She's fine she just didn't recognize me. She must've hit her head hard on that mirror because some pieces of broken glass were found on the wound just on the side of her head. She is suffering minor amnesia now."
Amelia said crying. Michael just rubbed circles in her back trying to calm her down. She finally calmed down when she heard Ashton stir. Calum snapped his eyes open when he noticed that Luke was no longer beside him.
"Michael" Calum said quietly. "Where's Luke? and how is Jane." he frantically looked around him and in his commotion, he woke Ashton who was now rubbing the sleep off his eyes.
