The Bridal Agreement

Bonus Chapter ♡

*✩ Boise, Idaho

❀ Keith's POV

I pace up and down the waiting area of the hospital, waiting for when the medical transport plane would get here.

“Keith...”

“Mom, I'm begging you” I whisper. “Please don't ask me to calm down.”

She lowers her hand. I hear footsteps and turn.

“Keith! Has she been brought in?” Melanie asks nervously as she walks up to us with her family.

I shake my head and Angela starts crying.

“Hey, don't do that” Remy whispers to her.

I thread my fingers through my hair.

“What did you tell the kids?”

“Nothing” Melanie replies me. “I asked Maddox not to say anything either. They're with Vanessa and my mother.”

“And Kim?”

“We called Dallas instead. He told me they'll be here soon.”

I nod and Melanie lets out a big sigh.

“I just hope she's alright” she whispers.

“Mel” someone calls from the back.

We turn.

“Oh my goodness, Carter!” she cries out and runs up to him.

He looked like he hadn't slept in days and his arm was in a cast.

“Wha... what happened to you?” she asks.

“I was shot...”

“What?!”

“No, no, it was just a graze” he assures.

“Carter where's Noelle? You came with her right?” Angela asks.

He looks at her and then at me and nods.

“They took her to the emergency room.”

“What? Why?” I ask.

He sighs.

“I... I'm not sure” he says. “She never got to give me an explanation so.”

I let out a frustrated sigh.

“Let's just wait for the doctor, honey” my mother whispers to me.

Hours pass and no one can tell us anything.

“We're here!” I hear Dallas call out from the other side of the waiting area.

Kimberly is already halfway across the room. She looks out of breath.

“Are you okay?” Melanie asks her.

She just waves her hand to dismiss the question.

“She ran from the parking lot and used the stairs” Dallas informs.

“Where's Noelle?” Kim asks, panting.

“Emergency room. We don't know anything else” I answer.

She looks at me and frowns.

“What?!” she exclaims. “And you're not going to demand they tell you something?”

“You don't even see any doctors to demand anything” Yuri says.

Kimberly sighs.

“Well, maybe we should...”
