The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 50

　　GRACIE 

　　My gaze flickered open slowly, I blinked confused as to where I was, my gaze searched around slowly to be met gaze with Shawn's. 

　　My brain became functioning again 

　　Hazel! 

　　I flung myself out of the couch fighting back a wave of headache.

　　I scanned my gaze around a part of me praying that she would come running through the door  this very moment but Shawn's grave expression told me it would be anything but not. 

　　"How do you feel? "  He clasped my shoulders forcing me to look at him. 

　　"You have to take it easy or you wouldn't even be alive to see her return! "

　　"You don't understand he..h... "  my words choked up in my throat,  I was hyperventilating once again 

　　He hugged me tightly rocking my shoulders gently.

　　"Just breathe okay... It will be fine "

　　"I only want to find Hazel" my voice came out muffled against his shoulders

　　It was all my fault if Hayden really got to her .I should have been the one watching her, I shouldn't have left her alone for a moment .

　　I managed to compose myself before we finally pulled apart slowly. 

　　"Blaming ourselves won't solve anything, we'll work together to find her okay? "

　　I nodded slowly blinking back fresh tears. 

　　"Just before you fell unconscious you whispered out he took her, do you mind telling me who you were referring to in that moment? "

　　I must have taken too long to answer , he took both my shoulders,  the look on his face urging me to go on. 

　　"You have to tell me so that I can help you find her, so Hazel can return back safely "

　　Again I just nodded quietly before answering 

　　"Her father " 

　　My voice sounded odd even to my own ears, I exhaled aloud clasping my fingers together tightly.

　　I knew what his next question would be before he even asked  

　　"Who is her father Grace ,why would he take her ? "

　　 The words stuck up in my throat , maybe I just don't say his name everything wouldn't be real. 

　　He cupped my face in his hands staring at me patiently. 

　　"You want Hazel back don't you? why are you hesitating ,trust me you can just tell me.."

　　"Hayden Mcandrew"

　　I  wet my lips nervously and took a quick glance around as if the mere mention of his name was forbidden... Like he would suddenly appear from nowhere and get me. 

　　I noticed the sudden  change in Shawn,surprise combine  with recognition and something else I couldn't recognize passed through his gaze for a moment , I have never seen Shawn look anything but casual and friendly before, that was until now... 

　　" Why do you think he took her? You've never mentioned him until now,  I want you to tell me everything you know about him can you do that? "

　　He took her..
