Trust. A R6S Story

Chapter Seven

Grim POV

I woke up in a hospital room, blinking and beeping machinery all around. I tried to sit up, but my torso hurt to much. 

"Ah, you are awake." A voice said from the other side of the room. I recognized it as Gustave's, the team doctor. 

"What happened?" I asked, I could see the bandages on my arms. 

"I've never heard your voice before, you sound different than what I imagined. Anyway, you took three bullets to your torso, all missing your vitals. But, it is quite obvious you have been shot before." Doc stated, referring to my previous bullet wounds. 

"Did everyone make it out ok?" I asked, starting to worry. 

"Fine, only two others have been shot, not fatal, and Ash took a hit to the head, but is fine." Doc turned to see Eliza standing in the doorway, "Ah, speak of the breacher." Doc said, and then left the room

"How are you holding up?" I asked her, as she walked up to my bed.

"Better than you I can see." She had a very slight blush, and I couldn't help but think how pretty she was. 

"Anyway, how is my -" She cut me off with a kiss. I couldn't help but return it. She pulled away and looked away, blushing. She looked back at me and said,

"I-i'm sorry, I just couldn't resist."

"No no, it's alright, but, you barely know me, and you don't know the things I've done." I stated, I couldn't get into a relationship. 

"Well, let's get to know you." She sat down in a chair beside the bed, and we started talking about me. I am thirty five years old, and my full name is James Dwayne Grimes. I told her all about me, and she simply stated, "I love you."

I responded with the same sentence. She embraced me, and I didn't want to let her go. 

**TIME SKIP**

I was walking through the hallways of Hereford Base. It had been fully cleaned up and restored. I walked by Eliza's room, and stood there for a second, but eventually I gathered the strength to knock. 

"Come in."

I opened the door and I saw Eliza, dressed in a blue t-shirt and jeans.

"Oh hi James, how are you." She asked.

"Never better." I replied, hugging her and closing the door.
