Together With You

Chapter 54 - Ocean

I thought I was imagining. Zac came out with a firefighter. They brought Drew.

"Drew!" I run and help them.

"Ma'am we need to bring him to the hospital."

"Okay okay" I say fast. Drew is unconscious, but he keeps calling my name and Char's.

"Drew I'm here. Char is here. We're fine" I say but he keeps calling our name while his eyes are close.

The nurses come and take Drew. I hug Zac tightly.

I can feel he kisses my head "I wouldn't say this if he wasn't worthy, Ocean..."

I look up at him. There is some black smoke on his face and hands, not to mention his expensive suit. His hair covers a bit with the ashes.

"I don't think you can find another man who loves you like he does" he says and I break. I cry in his hug.

I love you, Ocean

Zac drops me in the hospital. Char was shocked when I kissed her goodbye. Zac will bring her to Roderick Beverly. I already called Betsy.

Hope Zac can take care of her for the 10 mins drive. If not... well he should handle her. My revenge since he was the one who made Drew and I couldn't together back then when we were lusting each other.

I'm pacing in the waiting area. I hate the smell of hospitals. Too much alcohol and chlorine and other medicines.

Drew...

I command myself to calm down. Drew doesn't need a freak out me at this moment.

The doctor comes out "Mr. Andreas Roderick family?"

"Yes doc... I'm... I'm his wife" I say shakily.

"Mrs. Roderick, your husband is fine. There was too much smoke in his lungs but we managed to take it out from him."

"Thank you doc" I hold the doctor's hand.

"He also has some cuts, but we already put the medicine and bandage. Other than that he's fine"

I nod frantically "thank you doc. Thank you. Can I see him now?"

"Sure. We will take him to the room."

I nod. "Thank you" I say in relief. I text Drew's friends and my brothers. All of them reply to me with the same thing. They will come tomorrow. Maybe they know Drew and I need to talk..

I just hope I'm not too late for us...

The bandage is on Drew's forehead, his palm, arm, band aid on his neck, finger and his forearms.

I blink. What's that inside of his wrist? I take his left hand and turn it so I can see clearly. It's a tattoo...

It's a small but beautiful dove tattoo. I swallow hard. Where did he get it? I didn't realize my tears leaked until it fell to the tattoo.

Drew's fingers are moving weakly. I look at him. "Drew?"

He opens his eyes slowly and smiles "hey, nightingale. You are okay" his voice scratch, he touches my cheek softly.

I cry and come forward kissing him. "I love you, Drew"

He kisses me back, and I feel his love from the kiss.

"I love you Ocean... believe me... please" he says softly

I nod "I believe you Drew. I do" I cry and kiss him again.
