"he should be awake in a few hours." the nurse told doctor alister.
"no. he needs to stay asleep. i don't want graycen thinking he's going to wake up anytime soon. i can't have them together!" alister replied, flaring his arms everywhere.
the nurse gave alister a weird look, he's never done this. he's never reacted the way he just did, even if the patient was difficult to handle. "but-"
"no buts!" he adjusted his suit coat with a deep exhale, "i don't want him awake." alister said, continuing out of the room.
graycen was "asleep" but yet she could hear the whole conversation. her heart shattered, and her whole body shook with anger. usually she never wanted to plan to go against her father, but now; she had to. she needed remington back, no matter what. he was her lifeline, keeping her going in this hospital.
they always dreamt to escape someday, somehow find a place to settle down and hide. it's what they needed and wanted to do, they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. even emerson and sebastian were ought to join them; to also keep them safe from alister's control.
graycen got up, her new IV attached to her, making her pull a stand with her everywhere she walked. she began to worsen, and there was nothing that nurses could do to help her; it was all graycen. she was refusing everything just to try to free remington, but it wasn't working.
they weren't going to let her win that easily. they never did. graycen walked to her door, hearing familiar voices out in the hallway. she opened it to see emerson walking with maddox, "graycen, oh my god you look horrible." emerson gasped.
"great to see you too i guess." graycen replied, leaning against the door.
"what happened? i haven't seen you in months and you're half dead." emerson questioned, his concern growing.
"it's a long story." graycen answered with a sigh.
"if it deals with trying to get them to let remington wake up, then i know the whole story." emerson replied, his tone sharp.
"they need to let him wake up or he will die." graycen snapped.
"there's nothing we can do graycen. they have him locked up." emerson replied.
"i'm going to get him free." graycen said.
"it's going to be impossible." emerson sighed.
graycen glared at emerson, "don't underestimate me emerson." she snapped.
graycen walked out, walking down the hallway; pulling her iv stand with her. she walked past remingtons door, making graycen pause. she hesitated but reached for the nob, turning it and opening the door. graycen was taken back but walked in hesitantly. remington was there, on his bed, breathing, but most importantly; sitting up, awake. "remington!?" graycen questioned.
remingtons head shot over, looking at graycen, "oh my god you're awake!" graycen beamed.
graycen rushed over, pulling her stand with her. she pulled remington into a hug once she got to his bed side. "oh my god, i can't; you're actually awake." graycen said, beginning to tear up.
"shh it's okay." remington said trying to calm down graycen.
"i am so happy you're alive." graycen said.
remington sighed with content, "now you're going to have to explain this iv stand." remington said, pulling away from graycen.
"it's nothing." graycen brushed it off.
"no it's not nothing because you literally look half dead." remington replied, holding onto graycen's hands.
"i've been- i've been skipping everything." graycen quietly replied, looking down at the floor.
"why? what's the reason? and don't say me." remington replied.
graycen didn't answer, and remington automatically could tell he was. "graycen. you can't let the thought of not seeing me basically kill you. you're weak, you're getting fluids 24/7, and you look to be half dead. your eyes are so sunken in, i am concerned. i've barely seen you, and yet you've let yourself go." remington explained, trying to look into graycen's eyes, "please look at me love."
"i can't, i don't want to." graycen answered.
"graycen please look at me. im not letting this go." remington repeated.
graycen hesitantly looked up at remington, "do not let me be the reason why you're letting your health go, and basically kill you. we promised each other we would get out of here together." remington told her.
remington brushed hair away from graycen's eyes, "god i missed you so much." he said a smile appearing on his face.
"can i stay with you?" graycen asked quietly.
"of course."
