Chapter 23 - Please don't leave me

(Tom's Pov)

I never left her side, my hand always intertwined with hers. I admired the features on her face, the small freckles that were only lightly dabbed on her face, the small scar above her eyebrow, the deep purple rings underneath her eyes, and the wisps of hair that framed her face. I stroked my thumb over her soft hand, I turned my head to the door and in walked Alex, Blair and Jamie her doctor, obviously, she had been here before to have a personal doctor, I let go of her hand and walked over to them.

"Hello Mr Hellbourne"

I nodded hello and looked back at grim, it broke my heart to see her like this, why was she a target...

"Yes, well we are doing a medical check-up and we have come to notice that she has broken a rib or two, dislocated her shoulder and has suffered traumatic injury to the head"

I lowered my eyes and shook my head, why would they do this to her. I walked back to her and placed my hand back with hers and kissed it gently, I looked up at her monitor and sighed, her heartbeat was steady I looked back at her face and my eyes stung with tears, I wiped them away and continued listening to the conversation.

"Yes well, she has shown some signs of recovery through which means she is fighting to stay alive"

"That's good to hear"

"Indeed"

I turned back to face them and sighed

"Do we know who did it yet?"

"No, the cops are still trying to find them"

I scoffed at the thoughts of cops trying to do anything.

"Jamie, we all know how shit the cops are"

"Yes, Mr Hellbourne we know"

"Tom.."

I turned to look at Alex, she walked over to me and placed her hand on my shoulder and pointed to Grim. I turned and saw the slightest of movement from her fingers. A smile appeared on my face and I sighed, at least she alive. I sighed and walked to the door.

"I need some air"

They nodded and I walked out of the room only to hear screaming and a high pitch sound coming from the room I was just in. I ran back and I froze, the monitor stopped, and the heartbeat went flat, shouting and screaming filled the space.

"Tom? TOM!"

I shook my head and looked at everyone, everything was normal nothing was wrong. I shook my head and sighed, my mind was playing tricks on me, I walked out of the room and sat on the seats outside of her room and pulled out my phone, then called someone

"Hello?"

"Hey sis"

"Hey Tommo, how's being a leader?"

"Pretty good, how's mother and father?"

"Yeah they're pretty good, we are all wondering when you're going to come and visit again"

"Not anytime soon sorry"

"Seriously? Why not?"

"Reasons Freya... tell mother and father that they can come in a week or hopefully in a few days"

"Why then?"

"Will you stop asking questions please..."

"Haha, sorry anyways I'm gonna head out one of my friends is in hospital"

"What hospital?"

"Valdire street"

"I'm there at the moment why is your friend in it?"

"She's in a coma from a hit and run"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"well I'll see you soon then I guess love ya retard"

"Love you idiot, bye"

"See ya"

I walked back into the room and saw two deep brown eyes staring at me, and a weak smile on their face, I walked over to them and grabbed their hand

"You're awake..."

"I'm awake..."
