The hot water beat against my shoulders, steam filling the bathroom, as for that moment I let myself forget everything. The attack, the blood, the fear.

And hoped that maybe, just maybe, the water would wash away all that just happened. I won't remember it, and I won't have some sort of terrible Dejavu later in the future.

Just the water and some quiet.

    EVAI woke up to the beeping of machines, a blinding white ceiling and antiseptic smell. My head wasn't pounding as much as I thought it was going to, but it still did, and my ribs felt like someone had taken a hammer to them. I blinked, trying to focus, and remember where I was and why everything hurt so much.A nurse suddenly appeared above me, almost startling me. "Ms. Bishop? You're awake again."Again?I stared at her, confused. "I was awake before?"She nodded, checking the monitor beside me. "Briefly. You were quite agitated. Your blood pressure spiked, so we had to give you something to calm you down. You've been out for about two days. How are you feeling?"Two days?I I tried to sit up, but the pain in my ribs stopped me. I gasped, and the nurse gently pushed me back down."Easy. Take it slow. Your body needs time to heal."I lay there, trying to piece together what happened. The car. Yes, I remember that. The crash, yes too. Oh. And the police, and blood thieves. It all cam

    EVAI woke up to the beeping of machines. My head throbbed with a dull ache that pulsed with every heartbeat and movement, and my entire body felt like it was put through a grinder. I tried to move, but sharp pain shot through my leg, to my ribs, then my arm. I blinked against the harsh light, trying to focus, but everything was blurry. White ceiling. White walls. The beeping of machines. The smell of antiseptic. I looked down at myself and saw bandages wrapped around my left arm, and my leg propped up on pillows.What happened?"Easy, easy." A hand pressed gently on my shoulder. "Don't move too quickly."I turned my head, wincing at the pain. A nurse was standing by me. She was checking the monitors, adjusting something on the IV stand.She wrote down something on a piece of paper and grabbed a glass of water. She helped raise my head up gently and let me take a sip of the water. It soothed my throat immediately, the scratchy sensation gone."Where am I?" My voice came out scratchy,

    EVAHe pressed the gas and the car surged forward, weaving through traffic and taking sharp turns. I gripped the door handle, my heart pounding in my ears. The car swerved again, and I held on, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios.How do I end up in situations like this over and over again.We stopped at a traffic light and I leaned forward. "Take left at the next turn."And he did, the car swerving into a side street, but the sedan followed. He took another turn and another, trying to shake them, but when I looked back the sedan was there, close, relentless. I can't even see the driver's face from here, all I see was just a shadow behind the windshield. We suddenly stopped with a screech, I jerked forward, hitting my head on his seat. “What the–What happened?!” I lifted my head up and made sure I wasn’t bleeding before glancing at him and the chaos before us.Atruck was blocking both lanes of the road, the cargo spilling out front it and water streaming across the pavement, i

    EVAI stared at her retreating figure, shivering from the cold sipping into my bones thanks to my wet hair dripping onto my shirt and trying to make a puddle with it. Nico and Sage were the only two people I knew could protect this place, the only two Dante trusted. But now neither of them was in any condition to do anything and I can't leave him alone like that. I rubbed my face with both hands and let out a long breath. This better be a short day, I just want to sleep in my bed, wake up to see everyone alive and go about their day. I turned and walked back upstairs, needing to go home and get some clothes. I couldn't stay here in this borrowed shirt forever. Besides, it was already late, so I figured I could go get clothes and everything needed for the surgery, come back tonight, stay here, then go to the hospital in the morning for Lily's surgery. I have to make it work. I didn't have a choice. Lily needed me and so did Dante. And I was the only one trying to hold both worlds t

And hoped that maybe, just maybe, the water would wash away all that just happened. I won't remember it, and I won't have some sort of terrible Dejavu later in the future.Just the water and some quiet. I stood a little longer than I needed to, and massaged myself while at it. My body ached from sleeping in a weird position, my neck was even still stiff, and my eyes were heavy like I didn't just sleep for hours. Yes, few hours, but this wasn't my first rodeo with less sleep.I didn't know how much more I could take. I felt like I was holding myself together with string and hope, and both were fraying fast, the more he was unconscious.What would happen if he…succumbed to the pain. I mean, I know he was strong and all, he was by far one of the strongest people I've ever met, but everyone is still glass and bones and a beating hea

    EVAI woke up with a stiff neck and a face that felt like it went through a war, my skin all red and blotchy from sleeping in that awkward position. My eyes were dry and heavy, and for a moment I didn't know where I was. Until I turned and saw Dante's pale and unconscious face, and everything came flooding back.I sat up straight, my hand wrapped around his. His skin was warm, but not as hot as before. I touched his forehead, then his cheek, and felt the dampness of sweat. The fever must've broken sometime during the night, relief washed over me. I sat there for a moment, just watching the rise and fall of his chest. I wonder how long he would stay like this. I don't really face the gunshot experience but I spent the whole of last night googling a lot of possible solutions and I somehow ended up on a file full of gruesome disturbing gunshots victims and wounds with all the blood and the rear of flesh. Even those shot in the head.I was so shocked I almost got a stroke and I couldn't

    “Suite 1204. He’s been there for an hour.”The text from the unknown number glowed on my screen. Below it was a grainy photo from a hotel lobby. Jace’s back, in his favorite suit with a blonde woman’s hand in his.I looked away from the picture and took a deep breath before dialing his number.He p

    A soft knock came at the door and a second later a nurse appeared with a tray of mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, and a cup of applesauce.“Figured you might be hungry,” she said, setting the tray on the bedside table. “Doctor Wright asked me to bring it over.”I didn't realize I was hungry until

    Chloe appeared at my side before I could say another word to him, her hand finding my elbow with a grip that said she'd let me have my moment but now it was over."We've got a problem," she murmured close to my ear, her voice low enough that only I could hear. “Car won't start.

    I was seething. Hate and anger enveloped me, I felt my temperature rise.He got what he deserved. That reputation he's been trying so hard to manage, that reputation he was willing to sacrifice his daughter for, he deserved all of it going down the sewer."Eva! Eva, stop right now!"I kept walking,
