SHEO: A HAPPY FAMILY.

chapter 29

I dedicate this chapter to Theo James because it's his birthday!

Even though you're 30 now. But for me you'll always be the 18 year old Tobias Eaton :)

~Hermione~

When Liam stops the car in the hospital parking lot, I see mom sitting in her car. When she sees me get off, she does too. I run into her open arms. Tears stream down my face. She softly rubs my back.

I pull away from her when I see dad come out. I'm surprised at the sudden anger that flashes across mom's face when she sees him. But it disappears almost as quickly as it appeared. Dad walks over to me and pulls me into a hug. Then I realize that this situation must be getting awkward for Liam. So, I pull away and go to him. He puts his arm around my waist and draws me to him.

"Did anyone of you call Miles?" He asks looking at the ground. I shake my head.

Mom replies "I did. I called him as soon as you left."

He nods and adds "Ruth desperately needs him.She won't leave George's side at any cost. Well atleast not till 30 minutes. That's when they unplug him from the machines. Miles must be on his way. I'll go get him if he doesn't get here in a few minutes."

Again the three if us nod in reply. We fall silent for a while. Liam is the one to break it by saying "I should probably head home now. I just wanted to make sure that Hermione got here safely."

"Thank You. Of course you should go home, get some rest. After all it was your prom today." Mom says.

Liam kisses my forehead and asks me to let him know about any updates and if I need anything. I watch him get into his car and drive off.

"You and Hermione should go home." Dad says to mom.

"No! I just got here! I didn't even see Ruth or George! No matter how small my share was but I still contributed to his suicide!" I manage to scream between tears.

"Suicide?" Mom and dad both ask together. It's then that I realize that I had not told them what my thoughts had been about his behaviour at and after the party. When I'm quite for a few seconds mom tries again.

This time a bit more firmly. "Hermione is there anything that you need to share with us?"

My first instinct is to tell them but I decide against it and say "Nope."

"Shouldn't we go in?" I ask after an interval.

"Yea, we should." mom replies. She takes tthe lead and I follow her up the stairs when dad calls from behind us "I'll go check on Miles! Call me if gets here."

We nod and go in. Getting out of the elevator gives me jitters. I keep telling myself one thing over and over again. Be Brave! Be Brave! Be Brave! We reach George's room and knock. No respond comes so we let ourselves in. Ruth is there beside his bed lost in some other world. Mom goes over to her and tries to get her attention.

But George grabs my attention. He looks healthy. His chest rises and falls in perfect rythm. I just can't bring myself to believe that this is not him breathing. That he's gone. If I hadn't pushed him into the pool and run off maybe he still might be alive tonight. If I had reasoned with him none of this would've happened!

I close my eyes and let my guilt take over me.

 I promised you guys an update and here it is!
