Standing together

Chapter 4

Dave's pov
After Elliot and Lucy broke the news to us and I lost 200k, dollars if I may add, we were all watching a movie in the living room, I noticed Efe was acting a little weird and she said she was fine so I just let it go, although I was still going to talk to her later. The movie was almost over when I noticed Efe body temperature drop, she felt cold in my arms, when I looked at her she was just sitting there numb like she had been frozen or something,

Efe, Efe, Efe, I called but she didn't reply
That's when I started shaking her to get her attention but still no answer

Guys something is wrong with Efe, what the hell is going on? I yelled to Elliot and Lucy

Omg no no no, Efe please not again please don't do this, Lucy said holding Efe while crying hard.

Lucy what's going on, Elliot said to Lucy

Dave please get the car, let's take her to the hospital.

What do you mean hospital, what's wrong, I asked looking confused

She's dying Dave, get the fucking CAR!!!!! Lucy screamed

My heart dropped hearing Lucy say she was dying, without hesitation I rushed out the get the car with Elliot carrying Efe in his arms and Lucy still crying.

............
At the hospital
We were currently sitting in the waiting room for the doctors to give us news on Efe,

Lucy, I need you to calm down and tell me what is going on, Elliot said holding Lucy

She......she.... sh....... Lucy stuttered still crying

Baby calm down and talk to me, Elliot said to Lucy

It's a rare type of panic attack, she was dying. I saw it again, I'm so scared Elliot, Lucy said crying extra hard

What do you mean panic attack, I asked feeling extremely confused

Did she see anything, or hear anything? Lucy asked me

No not that I know of, I answered genuinely

Uhmmm okay has she been taking her meds, Lucy asked again

What meds, I haven't seen her take any meds, I answered

Ohh no no no Dave that's bad, Lucy said before crying again

Lu.......

I was interrupted by the doctor coming out

Family of Efe Osage?, the dark skin middle aged doctor asked

That's us, Elliot said stepping forward

I'll like to talk to you guys in my office, he said leading us to where I believe to be his office

I know this can't be good, I said a quick prayer before stepping into the office, God knows I can't loose her, no not her

Efe's pov
I can't even believe they would keep that away from me, why would mom and Elliot not tell me that dad is dying, I know I hate him but he's still my father

Hey sis, Elliot said snapping me out of my trance

"Hey bestie" Lucy said hugging me

"El...." I was cut off by Dave hugging me and I hugged him back

"Shit Efe you scared me" he said looking worried

"I'm fine" I said with a small smile

"When were you going to tell us about the panic attack" Elliot question

"When were you going to tell me that dad was dying" I snapped feeling myself get angry

"How did you...... look I was going to tell you but mom wanted to tell you herself" he said with his head down

"Mom? Are you fucking kidding me Elliot, he's still my father" I said tearing up

"It's okay" Lucy said hugging me while stood by my bed

"No it's not Lucy, that man might have put me through hell  he's still my father unlike him I have a heart, it might be broken but it's still there" I said getting really angry

"Efe, I know he hurt you and believe me ever since you left I hated him even more that's why I refused to take over his company, I didn't want you to relive any of those painful days, you're my baby sister I have to protect you, I'm sorry for not telling you, I really am" Elliot said coming closer

"I'm sorry too, I was just so hurt" I said hugging him

"Can I go see him" I asked Elliot

" that's up to you but i don't want to have anything to do with him" Elliot said with anger

Yep I know this chapter was short, I'll make the next one better
