Eye of the storm - Lams fanfic

After he'd come to my house a few days agoI'd been non-stop thinking about him. I'd already loved him but I'd been slightly obsessed. It was scary. I didnt know how to control this feeling. I'd never felt anything like this before.

But I hadn't a choice. He was in crisis and my duty as a friend is to be there for him.

On October 4th I'd gone to Eliza's house to see how she was doing and to perhaps see Alexander. He wasn't there of course. Probably at the pub.

I walked up to the door and rang the bell. After a few minutes Eliza opened the door. She looked a mess. Her hair was down and messy. She was still in her dressing gown and underwear. Physically, she was weary but when you looked into them, her eyes said she wanted to burn him to the ground.

"Can I come in Eliza?" I asked rocked between my heels and toes a little bit.
She said nothing but lead me inside meekly. The house was a mess and you could hear the children yelling upstairs. "I came around to ask you if there's anything I can help you with?

But just as I finished my sentence there was a knock on the door. Eliza walked very slowly towards the door as I scanned the room. The living room looked a sight. There was spilled food on the floor and furniture, there were clothes scattered around and an assortment of wrappers and bottles and general rubbish. Eliza was going through something very difficult. Honestly, I'd be surprised if she wasn't emotionally drained.

"What on earth..?" It was Angelica. She had come back again from London. "Eliza what's happened?!" She walked into the room and set her bags down on, what it seems, is the only bare spot.

"Hello Angelica." I said. I didn't know her well but I will still be civilised. I held out my hand.
She took and shook it. "Hi John."
"I just came to check if everything's alright, so let me know if there's anything I can do. Nice seeing you again Ange," I shuffled past them both and opened the door.

But we seemed to have an other visitor.
It was a police officer?
