DEREK HELD HAVEN IN HIS ARMS AS HE RAN WITH AN UNBIEVEABLE AMOUNT OF SPEED. Right as the Argent's made themselves known at the police station. Matt and Jackson disappeared just in time as they showed up leaving Derek to trigger his healing process so he was no longer paralyzed. He left Scott to deal with the aftermath as he couldn't risk being seen by Gerard. So he took Haven with him, promising to get her to the hospital as quick as possible.
"Haven, stay with me please! Everyone close to me either leaves me or dies. I'm not letting you die, I'm not letting you leave!" He growled, glancing down at her to see her lips parted and eyes shut. He could hear her heart beat at a dangerously low rate. "Baby we're almost there. Just keep holding on. Please for me..."
Bursting through the emergency room doors, he yelled out for the standby nurses and doctors to help. "I need help! Please, my girlfriend she's been shot in the abdomen." Almost in an instant, a team of nurses rushed over to him with a gurney and laying her down.
"There's no exit wound, the bullet is still lodge inside her. Rush her to surgery!" A doctor yell, pulling her away from Derek.
Derek went to follow but only to be stopped by a nurse. "Sir, I cannot allow you to go back there. You can wait in the waiting room for–"
Sudden yelling prevented the nurse from finishing her sentence as she looked past Derek to see Melissa, Noah, Scott, and Stiles at the front desk. The nurse rushed over to the group, leaving Derek to follow her over to them.
"Melissa? What's going on?" The nurse questioned in concern, bringing everyone to quiet down.
"My daughter... he brought her in with a GSW to the abdomen." Melissa quickly explained, motioning to Derek who stood by them.
"Oh, Melissa, I'm sorry to hear that. We rushed her into surgery because there was no exit wound. But I need more information on what happened so if you can come with me..." Melissa nodded, not sparing anyone a second glance she followed her colleague into an empty triage room.
Everyone else had no other choice but to take a seat, knowing the only thing to do now was wait. Derek took a seat, falling into a state of shock due to everything that's happened. He was covered in Haven's blood but he didn't care. All he cared about was getting her here on time. And now all he could do was pray it wasn't too late.
He hid his face in his hands, his elbows resting on his knees as he allowed himself to cry. None of this was supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to be this way. She was supposed to be with him whether she was in his arms or arguing with him. This was what he was afraid of happening all along. She got caught in the crossfire and now she was fighting for survival. All he could do was think of all the times they spent together, wishing he could go back to when they were happy.
