Lisa and her family entered into the hospital room and saw Peter lying on the bed breathing softly. They walked up to him and Lisa moved closer to him and caress his cheek  with his thumb as small tears fell from her eyes out of joy. She was so happy that her beloved husband was okay as well as her children beside her looking at their father.
       
       Later that night, after they all went home to take their baths and change clothes, they bought food so they could not stave while waiting for their husband and father to wake up. They all sat in chairs. Lisa and Tory at the sides of Peters bed, Gerald sat close to the window and Patrick sat close to the door. They were all waiting for Peter to wake up but he hasn't. Until they heard a groan and they all turned their head towards Peter and saw his mouth open and Patrick and Gerald quickly rushed to  his side while Lisa and Tory stood up from their chair and moves closer to him "Auh" Peter groan as his eyes opened and closed back due to the brightness of the room. But he opened his eyes after it had adjusted to the light "Peter?" he heard someone called him and he looked to the person and saw that it was his wife, Lisa. Her eyes were tearing up and before he knew it, she hugged crying her eyes out "Daddy" he heard another voice and turned and saw Tory crying and then she hugged him, crying into  his body. He looked up and saw his two sons grinning at him while cleaning their tears "Hey dad" Gerald said and Peter smiled

  After crying and hugging and asking how Peter was doing and him saying that he's fine as he sat up, he became serious "What happened to the girl?" Peter asked and Patrick eyes soften "She's been taken back" Gerald answered sternly "You took her back? To which asylum?" Patrick asked looking at his brother "The one she ran from" Gerald answered and Patrick nodded "Her name was Claire wasn't it?" Peter asked which surprised Patrick for he never told anyone Claire's name "Yes. How'd you know that"  "Because she's my friends daughter" Peter said looking at Lisa "You don't mean.." Lisa said with widen eyes "Yes. Her" Peter nodded "Okay. Someone wants to explain to me what's going on here?" Patrick asked looking between his father and mother. Peter sighed and decide to explain to his beloved children "Claire is the daughter or should I say was the daughter of the richest man in the world" Peter said and Gerald eyes widen "Yeah and so? We're the second!" Patrick said "Yeah. Our family used to be very close. You and Claire used to be best friends" Peter said looking at Patrick "What do you mean best friend?" Patrick asked confused "When Claire was about to be given birth to, we went to visit her mother. At that time you were 1 year old" Lisa was the one who answered this time making Patrick to look at her "When you saw Claire, you stretched out of my hands wanting to touch her so I put you down in Abigail hands and you stretched out your hand and you touched Claire palm.  Immediately she opened her eyes and she laughed and the two of you became closer after that" Lisa explained "When you were four and she was three" Gerald said making Patrick to look at him "The two of you were inseparable. Whenever you left her she would cry and cry but eventually calm done. Same with you. When you were five and she was four, we caught two of you kissing" Gerald said and Lisa and Peter chuckled as they remembered the sight "It was so cute!!" Lisa squealed "anyways when we saw you, our family agreed that two of you would get married to make the the family more richer and stronger" Gerald continued "But when we heard that Abby and Maxwell was killed, we were furious and sad" Peter said with anger in his eyes but it immediately soften as he continues to speak "And when we found out that Claire was sent to a mental hospital, we were so confused. We cried. I was angry that my best friend family was gone with only a sole survivor" "When we told you about it you couldn't believe it. You didn't  believe it, so you ran from our room and rushed downstairs but you slipped and you rolled through the stairs and by the time you woke up. You wondered why you were there and when we told you the reason. You asked us that "Who's Claire?".  We were shocked but decided to drop the matter because if you were to be reminded of her, you would be broken" Peter said looking at his son who had his head down "But now that you saw her, we thought you needed a little reminder of her. And I can see that you care about her very." "How did you know that that's her" Patrick asked "Because its her. I can never forget that special blond hair or even her eyes. Even if those eyes I saw was of fear and anger, I knew its her" Peter said smiling.

    Gerald, Lisa, Tory and Peter looked at Patrick. They were waiting for his reaction. Patrick just turned and left the room closing the door behind him. "Do you think we should have told him?" Gerald asked looking at his Parents "I'm sure. He deserves to know. He loves her remember?" Lisa said smiling.
 
  Patrick walked along the hall of the hospital with his hands in his pockets. with one thing Clearly in his mind "Claire" he thought. He smilied as he remembered her from the time they were little

     Flashback
"Patwick" a little girl of three called out to her best friend "Yes, Claire?" Patrick turned to look at Claire. They were currently in Claire's room "We would always be best fwiends wight?" Claire asked in baby tone and Patrick nodded making Claire to giggle and hug Patrick  making them to fall on the floor laughing.

Patrick chuckled at the thought of when he and Claire was supposedly kissing. They weren't even kissing

   Flash back
"Claire what you doing" four year old Patrick asked Claire as he approached Claire who was sitting at the garden of their house "Nothing" Claire said shaking her head "Then why are you here?" Patrick asked sitting close to Claire "I miss daddy" she said as she cried and hugs Patrick "Its okay Claire. Daddy will be back soon" Patrick said and Claire raised her head "Pwomise?" Claire asked "Promise" Patrick said as they did a pinky swear and Claire grinned. "Patwick, close your eyes" Claire said smiling at Patrick "Okay" Patrick said as he closed his eyes. Immediately he felt something on his lips and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Claire just kissed him and then he heard an "Awwww" mad turned to look and saw his parents and Claire mother. He turned to look at Claire "Why'd you do that?" Patrick asked "Mommy was feeling sad, so daddy told him sorry and when daddy tells mommy sorry, mommy kissed daddy as a thank you" Claire said "Did daddy kiss mommy?" Patrick asked  and Claire nodded and Patrick kissed Claire and Claire giggled "You'll be daddy and I'll be mommy" Claire said hugging Patrick hugged back "Okay"

    Patrick smiled at the thought as he stepped out of the hospital. 'Who would have thought that the feeling of being connected to Claire had been since we were little" he thought as he walked along the path of the street. "Her smile, her laugh and her hugs" he thought "But now I see nothing in those eyes but fear and hope when she only looks at me" he said as he stood still "Claire don't worry I'll help you" he said as he started running towards the direction of the asylum "I'll bring back your smile" he said as he ran faster.

      "Lalalalalala. Lalalalalala" Claire heard the man sing from inside his cell. It was obvious that he was trying to scare the living daylight out of  Claire. He wanted to remind her that he was there. That, he would always be there. Looking at her. Watching her in her sleep. Always hunt her in her dreams. Getting tired of his singing, she stood up from the bed and moved towards the cell door slowly "Stop it please" she said weakly. She realized that her voice had became weak. She doesn't even remember the last time she had been so afraid and sound so weak. When she was with Patrick.. "Patrick" she said as she slide her back on the door and sat on the floor with her legs to her chest "Patrick" she called again as she remembered all she had done with Patrick that week "You promised not to leave me!!  You promised me remember? How could you do this to me?" She said as tears pour from her eyes like a fountain. She missed him. She missed him. "I missed you" she shouted as tears fell from her eyes "Come back Patrick" she shouted "Come back. Come back. Come back!!!!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and she fainted.

    Patrick ran into the asylum and ran towards Samuel "Patrick?" Samuel asked as he stood up from his chair "Samuel please I need to see Claire" Patrick said between pants "Why? What's going on?" Samuel asked "Please!" Patrick begged looking into Samuel eyes as tears fall from his eyes "O.. o.. okay" Samuel stuttered as he gave Patrick the keys "Thank you" Patrick said as he ran past Samuel to the elevator.
     Patrick ran across the hall of the crazed people and stop at the cell of Claire. He stood at the cell door with the key in the mouth. He breath out and then unlocked the door and opened it. He looked round the room and didn't see Claire. He slowly entered the room only to come to a halt as he felt something to his feet. He looked down and saw the unconscious body of his best friend "Claire" he shouted getting the attention of the man opposite Claire cell. Patrick squatted and picked Claire bridal style and step out of the room. He left the door opened but he took the key along with him.

  When Patrick got to the infirmary, the doctors there says that she would be fine. She just need rest. Patrick sighed in relief and sat close to Claire. He looked at her face and saw that her eyes was tied "Guess she went back to the mode again" he said and sighed. His phone rang and he took it out from his pocket and answered the call

"Hey mom" Patrick said

"Patrick dear, what's wrong?  Why do you sound like that?" Lisa asked

"Nothing mom. It's just that I'm with Claire at the infirmary in the asylum"

"Infirmary?  What happened to her?  Will she be okay?"

"Yes mom, the doc said she will be fine. She just need a little rest" Patrick answers caressing Claire cheeks

  "Okay son. I presume you won't be going home"

"No, mom. I'm staying with Claire until she wakes up but I'll be back home in the morning. That is if she wakes up"

"Okay. Take care son"

"Okay mom. Love you"

"Love you too Patrick" Lisa said and hung off.

Patrick put his phone in his pocket and look at Claire. She was sweating and murmuring but Patrick couldn't hear, so he put his ears close to her mouth and he heard her "Leave me alone!! Patrick please help me!!  Patrick" Claire said in her sleep "Claire" Patrick shook her body trying to wake her "Claire wake up. It's just a dream" Patrick said as he shook her, making the blind fold to slip from her eyes "Claire" Patrick shouted and Claire eyes opened and she saw the one person that she loves so far "Patrick" she whispered
