I can't lose her

GAVINI don't hear what the doctor says next. My chest feels heavy, again. I'm trying to catch my breath. For a moment, the rest of the world disappears. Only when a hand touches my shoulder do I come back to reality.“Gavin,” Fabianna calls out. I blink a few times. “I'm fine,” I lie.The doctor clears his throat. “I'm so sorry about everything.”Well, this is not the time to be sorry but to be doing his job.“The next twenty-four hours will be crucial,” he proceeds. “We'll do our best.”With those last words he walks away. I suck in a breath and then massage my nape. I have never been in this situation. Where there's absolutely nothing I can do. Maybe transfer her to a better hospital? Right now, I don't think there's a better hospital than Angel Care. Their reputation precedes them. Besides, she's in a critical condition. Transferring her wouldn't make any sense.Maybe I had doubts before, but

Losing Control

GAVINMy mother is pacing in the living room. What’s gotten her like this, I have no idea, because it's definitely not Demi's condition. She sees me and rushes to hug me. Then she cups my cheeks. “Are you alright, son?”I'm not okay.“I'm fine,” I tell her.“I heard what happened,” she proceeds.“To Demi?” She takes a step back. “No. About your arrest.”Oh.Of course. Did I really expect my mother to be worried about my girl?My arrest is old news, and I really don't care about what anyone is saying. I haven't even had time for my phone. Because, again, right now, none of that matters.I walk past my mother, massaging my nape. “Gavin, I've been worried about you. And I've been trying to reach you,” she expresses.“Well, now you've confirmed I'm fine. You can go back to your husband and daughter.”“Daughter?” She raises her brows. “You and Fabianna are fighting?”“Oh.” I force a smi

GAVINLorenzo went too far. I know I'm not overthinking this. Once Reagan and I are done with this investigation, he'll regret setting foot close to Demi.My plan to tip the feds is still on. We are just waiting for Jack's signal. Once everything is set, his deal with the Russians will face a lot of problems. Though right now, my top priority is Demi. Reagan tries to hint about what's going on in the media but I keep dismissing him. That's a crisis I can control later. Besides, I have a team for that.We talk for a while and I lose count of time. By the time I look at my watch, it's almost 11pm.“I have to go to the hospital,” I say, getting on my feet. “No way,” says Reagan.I narrow my eyes on him. “Excuse me?” “I said that's not a good idea.”I squint, wondering what the hell is wrong with my best friend. “Seeing my woman is not a good idea?”“You're not even allowed to see her.”“Yeah, but I need to be there

Alive but Absent

GAVINWhatever doctor Patrick says next, I don't hear. My mind is still stuck on the part where they need to put her in a comma for several weeks. Several fucking weeks.I rake a hand through my hair. Demi is fighting for her life and there's nothing I can do to help. She's going to be here for a while. Oh my God. Someone should wake me up from this nightmare. Because that's what this is.I need to wake up into a world where I can see her. Her smile, her laugh, her frown. Just everything. A world where we can talk and laugh at silly things.Sadly, this is the reality. No matter how many times I blink, I end up coming back to this reality. After the doctor's briefing, I can barely talk to anyone. Fabianna joins us outside the doctor's office. She has a lot of questions. I don't even have it in me to respond to her questions.I take a seat nearby and stare in space. Everything else is just noise to my ears
