Jeremiah's POV:

"You have to save her!" Hailey screamed while crying as Grayson held her tight to comfort her. But I just kneeled there watching the paramedics lift Maeve's lifeless body onto a stretcher. She had to make it, I couldn't do it without her. My life was planned i and wanted Maeve to be there.

"She's stopped breathing" one of the paramedics said worryingly the other. My face was stone cold, every second she laid there unconscious was another second the emotions drained from me.

The paramedics started doing CPR while Hailey was still crying as Grayson let a tear out. I was loosing her, I knew.

The paramedics did CPR for another few times, and just as they were about to pronounce her death to us, she breathed. Maeve breathed.

The paramedics instantly started helping her as Maeve sat there shocked while in pain. "Maeve were going to get you to the hospital" I said letting the emotion flow back in.

"Okay" Maeve said as her voice broke into tears. I wiped the pools of tears that were streaming out of her face while she held onto my hand.

Maeve's POV:

The emotions were hitting me like a car and all I managed to do was hold onto Jeremiah.

Shortly after the tiredness over came me so I fell unconscious.

2 days later.

I felt as my eyes flapped open to see bright lights making them close again.

"Maeve!" I heard a male voice say as I turn to see Jeremiah sat next to the hospital bed I was laying in.

"Are you ok?" Jeremiah said while squeezing my hand. "Yes, I'm fine what time is it?" I said as I looked around absorbing the room.

"4pm, you've been asleep for 2 days." Jeremiah said which shocked me. I mean I love sleep but I didn't realise I could sleep for that long!

"I'm sorry" I said to Jeremiah, making his facial expression turn confused. "What do you mean?" He replied

"I'm sorry for sneaking out to the night club with Hailey. I'm sorry for flirting with Jacob and I'm sorry for being horrible." I said in one long sentence.

"All that matters now is that your ok. Whatever happened before doesn't matter. To be honest I should be saying sorry, for hurting you all those times and for not protecting you, I should have been the one to take that bullet not you."

This was the first time Jeremiah had fully opened up to me and shown his emotion.

"And that's why your free. Your free to do what you want. If you want to stay, you can stay. And if you want to leave you can leave." Jeremiah said which shocked me.

I wanted to be free but I didn't want the other life I lived, yes I had friends and a good job but I was truly living a lie. They were friends for clubbing. Ivy wanted me to get drunk every night which I didn't.

"I want to stay" I said anxiously which made Jeremiah's head lift as I assume he thought I was going to say that I wanted to leave.

"What?" He said with happiness in his voice. "I have nothing in my old life. Here I have friends and a place i can be myself." I said making eye contact with Jeremiah who I just realised was in the same clothes he was two days ago which I assume meant he had stayed here since I arrived.

Suddenly Jeremiah got up out of his chair and his lips crashed onto mine. I was surprised by this, but I felt a sensation of butterflies as I let it carry on.
