Heath's POV
"I think he's waking up." "Heath?"

I ignore the voices and sit up in the bed. A hospital bracelet around my wrist and IV going into my hand. "Why the hell am I in a hospital bed," I mutter, taking the oxygen tubes off my face.

I look up seeing Levi, Maya, Luke, Tag and Ajax in my room. "You passed out. Doctors say your stress level is over the roof. You passed out being exhausted, frightened, overwhelmed and stuff like that," Ajax explains.

"Well no shit I'm stressed. Where's Prystyne?" I ask while taking the tape off my IV.

"H you shouldn't do that," Tag warns.

"I don't care. Where is Prys," I ask, about to take the needle out of my hand. "Goddamn," I suck in a breath at the pinch. I throw the IV on the floor.

I get out of bed as the others stand up. "Where's Prystyne?" I repeat. I need to see her.

"No one is allowed to see her. Family only," Maya says.

"She hasn't woken up yet either," Tag adds. Ajax and Levi slap his arm as if he wasn't supposed to tell me.

I sit back down on my bed. My head in my hands. I feel the bed dip and a hand pat my back. I don't have to look up to know it's Ajax. "And there's no way of seeing her?" I ask looking up from my hands.

"Her parents hired a guard outside her door. They aren't letting any of us in," Levi mentions.

"Are they here right now?" I ask. They all nod. "Waiting room," Tag says.

"Well I know where the fuck I'm going right now," I get off of bed and walk through the door. I have no clue where I am.

"Mr. Kade, you aren't supposed to leave yet. You need to be checked by a doctor!" A nurse yells.

"I'll be in the hospital still. Where's the waiting room?" I ask. She points down the hall. That's where I head. I look over my shoulder seeing everyone follow behind.

I walk into the waiting room. Peyton, Penn, their parents and my own parents. What are my parents even doing here? "Let me see her," I say nicely but I'm slowly losing my patience. They all look up at me.

Prystyne's dad, Derek, stands up. He takes a few steps, standing in front of her. "Now we had a deal."

"I don't give a fuck about your deal. I didn't agree. Let me see her," I repeat. If he wasn't Prsytyne's dad, I would've socked him already.

"None of you guys are seeing my daughter. I'm banning you from seeing her," he looks over my shoulder making sure the others heard.

"Derek I swear on my fucking life right now. If you don't let me see her, all hell will break loose," I threaten.

"Heath! This is Prystyne's father. Don't talk to him like that!" My mom scolds. I roll my eyes.

I take a deep breath. "Why not?" I ask Derek. Penn places his hand on his shoulder. Derek nods sitting back down, Penn replacing his spot.

"She needs to heal first. Letting you see her will just mess everything up. I thank you for saving her but Heath, you aren't seeing her ever again," Penn makes clear. He sits back down.

I look at Prystyne's mom, Pam. "I'm sorry Heath. It's what's best," she says, wiping a non-existent tear.

"Cut the shit Pamela. You know damn well you don't give a fuck about your daughter!" I exclaim. She gasps surprised by my words.
