Aiden.

I laid her onto my office chair and called an ambulance.

Shyla and Paul rushed in.

Mike was away on a meeting as my representative.

They both looked flustered.

"What happened to Clara?" asked Shyla.

I shook my head.

"I don't know, she just blacked out."

Paul frowned.

"Did you argue with her?" he asked.

"Doesn't matter Paul, this isn't the first blackout she's had." I said.

Something was definitely wrong.

I could understand one blackout, but two?

In one week?

"When did she blackout?" asked Shyla.

I told them everything about the first one.

"She said she saw a man unconscious."

Paul nodded grimly.

"She's getting flashbacks of her memories. She saw your body." he said.

"I know that it was me she saw."

"But she doesn't know that." said Shyla

"Exactly."

Paul opened his mouth to say something but was quickly interrupted by the sound of sirens.

"The ambulance is here."
*****************************

When we arrived at the hospital, she was rushed in immediately.

We sat in the waiting room for what felt like an eternity.

Shyla paced up and down, rubbing her arms to keep warm.

I guess it was a bad idea to forget the jacket at work.

Paul took off his jacket and placed it on her.

"But-" she started.

"You're cold, you need it more than I do." he said.

She put it on and looked at him.

Now he was rubbing his arms.

I looked at Paul and then at Shyla.

Could Paul be having feelings for Shyla?

The doctor came out.

"Relatives of Dr. Clarisse Thronen." he said.

The three of us stood.

"She's in stable condition. Mr. Martin, if I may have a word with you in private."

I nodded and we walked away.
********************************

"She has been hallucinating for the past few hours." he said.

Hallucinating?

"She's not hallucinating.' I said.

He ignored me.

"Is there something you need to tell me Mr. Martin? Does she have a mental condition or-"

"She is mentally sound!" I snapped.

"Then kindly explain to me why a "mentally sound" person would be calling out in an unconscious state."

I sighed deeply.

"I will tell you everything, but this stays between me and you."

I told him about Clarisse, the accident and her current state.

He nodded.

"I see. Well because nobody has been tampering with her, she is regaining bits of her memory. There is hope of her regaining her memory, but you mustn't rush it. She could fall into a coma if forced to remember anything of her past. Also, if anything is done to make her forget, then her mental health will be in peril."

I nodded, too terrified at the thought of losing her either way.

"Thank you doctor. May I see her?"

He nodded and I rushed in the direction of her room.

Clara.

Not this again.

So yeah, I'm back in the hospital.

Again, I wake up with Aiden's hands in mine, looking worried as hell.

When he realized I was awake, he pulled away.

"You're awake."

"No shit." I said sarcastically.

He looked at me and I see relief cross his features.

I get up and cross my arms.

"You don't have to be here. When I get discharged, I shall go back home." I said.

I meant it.

I can't help if he doesn't want to be helped.

He sighed.

"Is that your final decision?" he asked.

"Yes." I said.

I thought of Rosa, the environment I'd be leaving her in.

Yet at the same time I thought of Aaron, Mel and Nathan.

I thought of James.

"Then go, I won't stop you." he said.

I looked at him.

And boy, his body language told me something else.

He looked... sad.

As if I was taking something away from him by leaving.

"Thank you, for your hospitality." I said.

He bent down and to my surprise, kissed me on the cheek.

"I shall miss you dearly Dr. Thronen." he said, before walking out of the room.

I sighed.

Why do I feel hurt?

I shook my thoughts off.

Maybe I am too human.

Just then my phone rang.

I checked the caller ID and saw that it was Aaron.

"Hey bro, what's good?" I asked.

There was silence on the other end.

"Aaron?"

I didn't like the feeling I was getting.

"It's Dad, he had a heart attack. He- he's dead-"

I drop the phone and scream.

My vision blurred with tears.

I saw people rushing in.

I heard the doctor's voice.

"Clarisse what's wrong?"

I wipe the tears away.

"I have to go home." I said, pulling off the tubes on me.

The nurse tried to restrain me.

"Let go of me!" I screamed.

"Ma'am, it is not safe for you to leave!" yelled one of the nurses.

"Leave me!"

"Ma'am, calm down or we'll calm you down."

"My father is dead! I need to go home!"

I struggled with them, but to no avail.

Then Aiden rushes in.

"Let her go home doctor, I will sign as her guarantor." he said.

The doctor nodded grimly.

"Then I take it you shall be going with her? Because if you aren't, I can't let her go Mr. Martin."

I looked at him, my face stained with tears.

He nodded.

I jump off the bed and hugged him, breaking down again.

"Thank you." I said repeatedly.

He whispered something I didn't catch.

I stayed in his arms, sobbing and sobbing.
****************************

Aww, poor Clarisse!

It had to be done.

More drama keep watching.
