The Ninja & His Thief (Discontinued)

Chapter 22: Cole learns about (Y/N)

Cole's POV
It was around 3:30 in the morning when I woke up. I had noticed (Y/N) starting to tear up a little. I couldn't just sit there and watch her cry, so I decided to sing the song Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts to keep her asleep.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

That every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, thery were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes, He did

I think about the years I spent just passin' through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah

And now I'm just a-rollin' home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, mm, mm

Once I was done singing, I could feel (Y/N) calm down. She even stopped crying. Just then, I could hear one of the guys waking up, so I turned my head to see who it was. I was a bit surprised to see that it was Asher.

"Hey, Asher," I whipered. "What's up? You need something?"

"No," Asher replied. "I just couldn't help but notice that you were singing one of (Y/N)'s favorite Rascal Flatts songs."

Asher's POV
"Why's that?" Cole asked. "Why is it so special to her?"

"You see," I replied. "After she had saved us from the werewolf, she fell unconscious due to her injuries. She had a lot of them too. (M/n) ended up taking (n/n) to the hospital and had to explain everything to the doctors. Needless to say, the doctors were a bit surprised to hear that werewolves were real."

"What happened next?" Cole questioned.

"(N/n)'s mom ended up asking if Raven and I would stay with her at the hospital," I continued. "We couldn't help but agree to stay with (n/n). You have to remember, this was 3 years ago. When the doctor came back to tell Raven and I what happened, he said that (n/n) was in a coma and wouldn't wake up for about 2 weeks. The doctor ended up asking Raven and I to go home, but he said that we could stay with her on the weekends. But before we left, the doctor said that she could still hear us."

"So you decided to sing Bless the Broken Road to her whenever you came to visit," Cole stated.

"Yeah," I said. It was the only thing I could say. "I did. I just could help but sing to her. It was the only thing I could do at the time."

"When did she wake up?" Cole asked.

"On her 16th birthday," I replied, tears starting to form in my eyes. "She was in that coma for almost a month. I thought that we were gonna lose her."
