Twisted love (Slow updates)

Chapter 14 I'll never leave you

You guys are seriously amazing 1000 READS! ❤️ thank you so much for your support!

I stare at Patrick and see his face is pale and his fists are clenched. I've never seen him this scared yet at the same time so blank. I wrap my arm around his arm to reassure him everything will be ok.

The fact the doctor hasn't said anything in the past minute has everyone thinking the worst.

"Spit it out Doc. What happened to my father?" Eric barks.

I pull back Patrick as I feel him shift forward. I look up at him and shake my head. "I'm here for you."

More reassurance. He doesn't need to lose his shit in front of everyone and possibly go to jail for killing a man. I know he wants to pound the words out of the doctor and I'm not going to let it happen.

" My name is Doctor Robert Turner. I was in charge of the surgery. Mr.Wood had a blood clot in his brain. During surgery we were afraid it would rupture. Luckily we were able to clear the clot and search for others." The doctor states.

We all look at him with wide eyes. A blood clot? Oh my god..I'm so glad they cleared it. That could have ended badly. He could of had a stroke or an aneurism!

The doctor sighs again and I feel Patrick tense. I squeeze his arm softly.

"The issue we have is that the surgery has put Mr.Wood in a temporary coma. The only thing is we don't know when he'd wake up from it." Doctor Turner says.

He just dropped the biggest bomb on us all.

A single tear falls from my eye. I watch as Eric runs over to his mom to comfort her while Anna is sitting shocked. I look up at Patrick and see blankness.

"When can we see him?" I ask since no one has said anything else.

The doctor looks at me sympathetically and I know it was hard on him to tell us this news.

"He's being wheeled to his room now so you can see him." Doctor Turner says then walks back through the white doors.

Everyone looks like a mess. I know the feeling all too well but he's alive. Richard is alive. He might not be awake but he's still with everyone. I need to let them know that.

"Richard wouldn't want you all crying." I state confidently.

They all look at me with soft expressions and it makes me smile softly.

"She's right you know. Dad would be having our asses right now if he saw us." Eric says while standing up.

"Eric Richard Wood, watch your language." Claire orders.

We all laugh at the lightened atmosphere.

I turn to look up at Patrick and notice he has this glowing look in his eyes.

"What?" I say while wrapping my arms around his waist.

Patrick cups my cheeks. "You're amazing you know that?"

I lift up on my toes and kiss his lips quickly. "I know."

I watch as a small smile forms on his gorgeous face. "Let's go see your dad." I say while pulling him in the direction of the rooms.

That smile is what I live for. I always want him to have it. It makes me feel on top of the world and to know I was the one who put it there feel a 1000 times better. I love him. I just don't know if I can tell him yet. What if he doesn't feel the same? What if it's too soon? It feels too soon to fall in love with someone but at the same time I've had two years of pushing away my feelings for him.
