Seventy-Five

Paige's POV

"Paige, what's wrong?" Lisa asked hurrying over to where I stood staring at my blank phone screen in shock.

"We have to go to the hospital, now" I answered, snapping out of my reverie.

"Wait, why? Who was that?" she asked frantically as we both walked out of the kitchen leaving everything behind.

"They were attacked, I don't know how bad it was but the doctor said Jace may not make it" I murmured, breathing through the pain in my heart as I thought of it.

"Oh my goodness, that sounds bad already" she gasped in shock.

"I can't take the kids there right now, get the car started, let me inform Mum so she can keep an eye on them," I said heading towards the stairs. The loud beating of my heart was the perfect reminder that even with everything that had happened in the past, I couldn't handle losing him.

"What happened?" we asked once we spotted a frantic Catherine at the reception.
