Fabulous Fifteen (An Elite Eight Story #5)

Aftermath: Fix It Lover

At the Pasi hospital, Mr. Pinnock was pacing in the waiting room. There were people with big cameras outside the door flashing mercilessly and he had no idea why.

"This is insane." The man said. He sat down and clasped his hands with his head down. "Oh good Lord please make Debbie be okay . . . if you don't then accept her into your kingdom. She may have screwed up a few times but she's a good person deep down . . . I think." He started shaking his head. "What life?!"

Just then, Jesy and Leigh came into the waiting room quickly. Holding hands. Leigh-Anne looked worried sick and Jesy looked bored.

"Dad I'm here." Leigh-Anne ran to her father. He looked broken. "Are you alright?"

The father got up and lifted his daughter off the ground. He then began showering her with kisses. "I missed you! Oh my God I am so happy that you dropped out of school! Please come back home with us after this Princess. We miss you."

Jesy rolled her eyes. "It's only been a few weeks."

"More like a couple years! How old are you sweetheart? You look the same but I can't be sure." Mr. Pinnock was looking Leigh up and down. "Oh my you actually look older. What's this on your face? Powder?"

"It's make up Father." Leigh held his hand gently as he tried to touch her face. "Can you please tell me what's going on now?" She and Jesy had been chased by paparazzi on their way here. While entering, people had swarmed them with cameras. They were both exhausted. She just wanted to know what was going on with her mother. And to think, we left each other on such bad terms. I regret everything now. I can't even remember what happened.

Her father held his head with a hand and shook it. "Oh my darling Leigh-Anne, Debbie, your mother has lost her mind. She must be completely ill."

Jesy raised an eyebrow. "What exactly happened?" This sounded serious. These people never admitted to being insane. Must run in the family.

He shook his head. "We used all of the millions of dollars that your kind parents sent to us to go to a special secluded island since the world hated us and constantly threw eggs at us. I could see that it was getting to Debbs so I decided that we should. Anyway, while we were hiking one day she . . ." He looked as if he couldn't finish. "She tripped and fell onto her side!" He screamed. "It was horrible."

Jesy and Leigh exchanged looks. "Did she break a hip or something? Is she that old? I thought that Shoulders was just exaggerating."

The man shook his head. "No she didn't break anything. She simply got up and dusted herself off but the fact is that she tripped."

Leigh-Anne crinkled her brow. "Okay so . . ."

"She tripped Leigh-Anne!"

Jesy rolled her eyes. "Explain more. You sound insane." There were other people in the waiting room. They were all staring and one guy, though he seemed sick was trying to record them discreetly. Bastard.

The father shook his head. "Debbie, my Debbie does not trip. She never does. She doesn't trip at all. I've known her for years and I have literally never seen her trip."

Leigh-Anne scratched her head. "But I don't understand. I trip all the time. Isn't it a normal thing to be clumsy?"

The man gave Leigh a stunned look. "Normal? Debbie? Clumsy? Heavens no! She's not clumsy in the slightest." He shook his head. "Anyway, it wasn't only that but while we were taking a stroll on the beach guess what she did?"

Jesy could guess. "She t-"

"Did she faint?" Leigh-Anne asked trying to put the pieces together for why they were here and why her mother was dying.
