I would Rather Die Than To Live Without Them

Claire felt many pairs of eyes on her, which made her instantly stiffen and uncomfortable.

She slowly and cautiously raised her head to see all three men looking at her in astonishment…

“I cuss the both of you, Scarlett and Mia. Now look at what you have put me through. How am I going to explain myself to them?” Claire said inwardly as she closed her eyes shut and hung her head low again.

She feared these men are going to call her names like a freak or witch, as her parents and siblings normally call her whenever they hear her talking to her other personalities.

“You… who are you? No! What are you?” Chase pulled Claire back from her thought with his dramatic question.

He wasn't exaggerating, though. Even Ethan and George were stunned by what just happened in front of them.

They clearly heard three different voices from the girl sitting on the bed. Though the voices somehow sounded the same, anyone with higher hearing can hear the differences between them.

“I'm- I'm Claire, Claire Wilson,” Claire said softly. She somehow felt intimidated by the three men's gaze.

“Did you just speak to yourself right now with different voices?” George asked. He couldn't hide his curiosity any longer. Indeed, it was his first time witnessing something like that.

Claire shook her head in NO, clearly lying, since not only one of them heard her, but all three of them.

“Liar!” Ethan stated matter of fact with his cold voice.

“Oh, wow! I really love this one!” Scarlett pushed herself forward and said with a smile.

Claire immediately forced her back again. For once in her whole life and after 11 years of developing double personalities, she regretted having them. She didn't know what to say anymore. She can't just tell them about her life as if she had known them right?

The three men were more than stunned at the moment. They didn't miss the voice and her reaction as she spoke.

Chase placed a finger under his chin and accessed Claire from up and down. He knew that her behavior wasn't because of the accident. It was indeed a minor accident and thus, she received minor injuries. So it shouldn't be the result of the accident.

Moreover, the fact that she can interact with herself really well as if there's another person besides her shows that, she has indeed been doing it for a very long time.

As a doctor, he immediately pointed out what he thinks might be the problem. Even though it was just his thought, he still had a hint that might be the case.

Claire couldn't stand their gazes anymore. She hasn't even asked them where she was yet and what they were doing in a room with her.

She was so stunned to see them the moment they entered the room. And Scarlett and Mia didn't even give her the chance to inquire about her whereabouts from the beginning.

Claire knew she got into a car accident when Scarlett was in control of her body. However, she was clueless about what happened next as she felt unconscious.

She then took in her surroundings and was shocked by the room she was in.

If it wasn't for the beeping sound of the monitor and the drip connected to her hand, she wouldn't have known that she was at the hospital.

The room is bigger than her entire room tripled. Not to mention how much it smells of wealth. How did she get herself in such a room?

Both Mia and Scarlett were also overwhelmed by what they were seeing through Claire's eyes. But before they could come forward and say anything, Claire made sure to build a wall in her mind to block them.

Claire thought one of the men may have caused her accident and that's why they were in the room with her.

She made up her mind to thank them and leave. Besides, she doesn't belong to this kind of place. And moreover, her parents might be going crazy waiting for her.

Not in a good way, though. They are just waiting for her to cook and do their laundry for them. And also receive beatings for the commotion she caused at her college.

“I'm sorry for bothering you Sirs, and thank you for bringing me to the hospital and taking care of my injuries. I will pay you someday when I have money if I get the chance.” Claire said to them, not knowing which one particular brought her to the hospital.

She tried to stand up from the bed, but immediately felt dizziness washing over her body.

Ethan was quick enough to catch her on time before she could have fallen.

“Just stay here for a while. You are still injured.” He said sternly and gently laying her down on the bed.

Claire stiffened and goosebumps washed all over her body when he touched her. His perfume entered her nostrils and she couldn't get enough of it. He smelled so nice.

Nevertheless, with a blushing face, she listened to him and lay back on the bed. However, her eyes never left his.

Ethan continued staring at her beautiful and delicate, innocent face. He wondered how old she was. In his eyes, she looked so pure and innocent. Especially her black and white baby eyes.

Chase cleared his throat to break their intense gazes at him before throwing a bomb at Claire.

“Uhm Miss Wilson, as a doctor, I hope it's not too much to ask... Do you perhaps have double personalities (DID)?” Chase asked and made sure to watch her reaction very well to detect anything.

Claire gasped, and her eyes went wide from his question.

Her reaction confirmed Chase's suspicion, and he nodded to her.

Ethan wasn't much surprised, as George. In fact, he had also considered such a fact a while ago.

“N- no…" Claire stuttered.

“Okay, don't be afraid. Actually, I'm Doctor Chase like I said before. I'm the doctor who was responsible for your minor surgery.

And these two here are my brothers. The one standing near you was the one whose driver hit you with his car.

And this one standing next to me is my cousin. We mean no harm to you, and we would try to help you if that's okay with you.” Chase explained to her with a small smile before continuing...

“We can even try to help you get rid of your other personalities if you like. Well, we don't know how many are they, though. But we can make sure you are cured of them if you can tell us your story.” Chase said, with his doctor's demeanor.

“NO!!!” Claire screamed, taking the men aback. Her body instantly started shaking out of anger.

“I don't want to get rid of them. They are my sisters, and we have been together for fourteen years. I never want to get rid of them. Without even one of them, I might have died a long time ago! You have no right to say that to me even as a doctor!” Claire exclaimed as she started sobbing.

How dare these men try to get rid of her sisters, her best friends, her saviors?

Claire would rather die than live without either Scarlett or Mia. In fact, she can't live without both of them.

The three men were stunned, indeed, there was something more about this little girl and they were curious about it for some unknown reasons.

What could possibly be her story? How did a girl at her age have such a mental illness?
