Mr Hegarty, My Love

Chapter 9

Mr Hegarty told me I could stay at his for as long as I wanted as I was not going back to my father's. I was extremely grateful for his kind offer and accepted it with a graceful smile.

I walked over to my mice and gave them lots and lots of mouse food. I sensed Mr Hegarty standing behind me so I turned around and he leaned in and kissed me. I blushed profusely and gave him a long hug, he wrapped his big manly arms around me and we stood there for a solid 30 seconds.

"I'm glad you're here." Colin whispered into my ear

"I'm glad you're glad I'm here. I've missed the sound of your voice, baby." I told Mr Hegarty whilst I rested my tiny head on his manly shoulder.

"I think you need some rest, Farquaad. You're a sleepy baby."

"I wanna watch Shrek first." Although Shrek reminded me of my spiteful father I still wanted to watch him because he is daddy.

"No, you need to sleep"

"Fine." I didn't ever argue with Colin because he always knew what was best for me and he always tried to make sure I was safe .

Mr Hegarty and I lay in bed and I rested my head on his chest and he held me tight - made me feel safe and cared for... More than my father ever did. I was so happy I had Colin and I didn't want anything to change, it really felt like he loved me for me. I felt like I could trust him with everything and trust is important. I loved Colin Hegarty but I didn't know whether he felt the same way and I didn't want to ruin anything so I didn't tell him.

Morning

I woke up and noticed Colin wasn't next to me so I grabbed my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle slippers and walked into the kitchen where he was making waffles. (Donkey reference). Colin was completely unaware I was watching him so he was dancing to the quadratic formula song. Excellent dancing I must say. I could've watched him forever and yes I know that sounds a bit noncey but the man was absolutely gorgeous. Anyways, my phone rang and Mr Hegarty turned around instantly and I thought he might've got whiplash.

I answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello Farquaad, your Father is in the hospital... He is in critical condition and we need you to get here ASAP."

"Wait. What?"

"Your father wishes you to be alone when you come. Please hurry - Thank you, goodbye."

Mr Hegarty's POV

I didn't know what Farquaad's phonecall was about but when it ended his face looked as pale as ginger people's faces. He genuinely looked like he was going to be sick and it was scary. I didn't want my baby to be sad or scared.

"Farquaad, are you okay?"

"I need you to drive me to the hospital." Farquaad said that so seriously and it concerned me because Farquaad was usually bare jokes around me.

"Alright, I'll take you now. Grab my coat so you don't get cold."

We got in the car and Farquaad wasn't telling me anything and I was worried. I knew he was being off because of the phonecall but deep down I had a fear of him leaving me. I always tried to ignore the possibility that he could leave but I grew so attached to him I was afraid I would have to say goodbye.

We approached the hospital and Farquaad's breathing quicked up.

Farquaad turned to me and slowly said "I need you to stay here."

I didn't argue with him because I saw how distressed he was and I didn't want to make it worse.

Farquaad's POV

I walked into the hospital and a man pulled me aside.

"You're Farquaad?" 

"Wagwan g I am Farquaad."

"Come with me please."

The guy who I guessed was a doctor brought me into a room and my father was lying in a hospital bed. He really was in critical condition. "Hello, father. You look like shit."

"I didn't expect you to come but seeing as you are here I need to tell you something... I'm going to die very soon. I was drugged and I know who did it."

10 minutes later

"What the fuck? He can't of done it...He doesn't have a reason to do it.

"Farquaad, he did it. I've already c- ca- cal-"

My dad died. My dad died in front of me. Oh well. He was a dickhead. I walked back to Colin's Lambo and told him I wanted to go back to his apartment.

"Are you alright care bear?"

"Yeah, I'm okay hot cakes."

We arrived at the apartment and Colin unlocked his door. There was a woman inside.

"Colin Hegarty?"

"You say that like it explains why you're in my apartment..."

"You're under arrest for the murder of Farquaad's father."
