" Bitter Truth ".

20. Let her go

Austin's pov.

I hoisted her semi-unconscious form into my arms, trying to be calm right now to protect her.

I walked out of the warehouse while trying to wake up hazel " princess look at me...look at me please ... " I kept calling as I sat into the helicopter I pulled her closer to me pressing over the wound trying to lessen the blood flow. " ahh.." she cried out in pain placing her hand over mine squeezing it.

"does it hurt ?" I questioned trying to engage her in a conversation.

" no no..not...not..even a bit..." she mumbled out " In fact, I could challenge you in a pushup competition right now..." she put up a smile hiding all the pain behind it. I chuckled " I am sure you would definitely win, " I said pulling her closer.

Scared if I let loose, I would lose her.

" I all was wi..." she said her words swirling, her eyes on the verge of shutting.

" no...princess...look at me....wake up..." I said tapping her cheek. " I am here.." she mumbled her eyes opening.

I kicked the seat in front of me startling the pilot " drive....the fuck fast before I shoot you " I growled trying to keep calm while looking at her tiny frame in my hand.

She chuckled stopping her face scrunching up in pain " come on Mr wilker...if he's gone who's going to drive this massive thing....and to be honest I don't trust you with my life....oh wait I am at the end of it " she chuckled again.

" no ... nothing's going to happen to you....shh..." I said trying to assure her, but looking at her I was the one who needed assurance.

I know we were on the last of the mere seconds she had for herself and I was going to break all hell loose to get her back and keep her with me in those mere seconds, even if it meant that I would be the one to be holding the thread between death and life for her.

Once we reached the hospital I wasted no time rushing in " just a few more seconds princess, please..." I begged her, she lazily nodded her head.

The doctor was already waiting for us along with the staff and stretcher I gently placed her down, her hand still clutched my t-shirt.

I gently held it taking it off, she lazily opened her eyes looking at me " I am sorry" she mumbled tears streaming down her face." goodbye Mr wilker" she whispered out only for me to hear.

They started moving the stretcher, her hand getting away from my hold. They shut the door of the ICU closing the doors between me and her.

I paced back and forth, my entire body was covered in her blood, my face held bloody fingerprints of hers. I ran my hands a couple of times through my hair trying to analyze everything that went down today.

After a couple of minutes, Roland and Riccardo rushed toward me.

" boss! " Riccardo said while Roland walked around me checking for any wounds, once he made sure I was alright " boss !" he also greeted.

" We got all the bastards....they have been moved into our den" Riccardo informed, I couldn't wait to go and kill them all by myself but right now my only priority was her.

I looked around, seeing other patients, visitors, and staff. I looked toward both of them ordering " vacate all of them from here, get them to other hospitals...seal all the gates...no one is supposed to get in or out without us knowing...all our men should be guarding the hospital....make sure there is no media coverage.....let the police know it's Austin wilker they would be dealing with...none of her family or friends should get to know about this...got it ?" I asked.
