“No. I’m good. You can go. I’ll stay with her until she wakes up,” I tell him.
“You sure, man? I don’t mind staying,” he says.
“I’m sure. Plus, it’s late already,” I tell him.
“Okay. It’s only because I know you want to be alone right now that I’m leaving. But I’ll be back here tomorrow,” he says before walking over to me and giving me a hug before he leaves.
Once he’s gone, I pull my chair closer to her bed and then hold her hand, before settling in to stay with her. She doesn’t move an inch and I’m wondering what the hell is taking her so long to wake up.
I need to see her gorgeous eyes. I need to see her awake and looking back at me, even if it’s with anger or whatever emotion she’s feeling.
An hour passes and I’m still awake when I decide to call the parents. They’re still on their honeymoon. Even though I hate having to even speak to them, I push aside my own hang-ups. I promised myself, I’d be better for her and I’m sure she’d want her mother here.
“What’s up, son?” Dad answers on the third ring.
“It’s Raine. She had an accident earlier and she’s in the hospital…” I say trailing off.
“Is she okay?” he asks, sounding more alert now as I hear rustling like he’s moving around.
“She is according to the doctor but she isn’t awake yet,” I say.
“We’ll be there soon,” he says.
“Cool,” I say before hanging up.

I’m still by her side the next morning when Asher comes back and brings coffee with him.
“Thanks, man,” I say, grateful for the wake-up call, not that I slept last night. I was too busy watching over her and listening to the steady beat of her heart through the monitor. That was the only thing keeping me sane, knowing she was still alive.
“Anytime, brother. How’s she doing?”
“She’s stable but being stubborn and not waking up,” I say with a sigh.
“I’m sure her body needs the rest and she’ll be up and about soon,” he says, trying to reassure me.
“I guess. I just wish she would wake the hell up already. I’m going out of my mind here,” I mumble.
Just then there’s a knock on the door and Axel and Ezra step into the room.
“Hey, man. Ash filled us in,” Ax says as he comes over to give me a bro hug followed by Ez.
“I’m so sorry this happened, bro. Don’t worry, she’ll wake up and put you through your paces again in no time,” he says, and a smile tug at my lips. I can see her doing just that.
They stay around for a while to keep me company until they all leave a few hours later and she’s still the same.
Sometime around late afternoon her mom and our dad rush into the room and fire off questions about what happened, yada… yada… yada…
I fill them in as quickly as I can, leaving out the whole miscarriage part of the conversation. I can’t bear to think about it right now.
“You should go home and take a shower and then come back. You don’t look so good,” my dad says. Even though I don’t want to leave her, I know I need a shower just to feel human again. I’ve been with her this whole time and I know my body still has bloodstains underneath my clothes.
Reluctantly I nod my head before walking out and heading home. I drive like there’s no speed limit or laws and make it home in no time. I head upstairs quickly and take a shower as fast as I can before getting changed.
As soon as I’m finished, I head out of my room intent on going downstairs, but I see her room door still open from when I went in there last. I step into her room. Her sweet scent fills my lungs and the intensity of it and the state she’s in right now is too much to handle. I break down into sobs.
I think about the baby we just lost. Even though I never thought that far ahead, I realize that I want her in all ways possible. I want to have a family with her and I don’t give a fuck who thinks it’s wrong. At the end of the day, she’s mine. I absolutely believe that she’s my soulmate because no one else makes me feel the way I do when I’m with her. I just wish I didn’t mess everything up in the first place.
