the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

anything for you

Pablo pov:

Then I hear a siren. I get up and walk to the door so they know where to go.

Several doctors come out of the ambulance.

They quickly walk inside.

They're looking for a heartbeat. In the meantime, she is being examined by another doctor.

"She has no heartbeat." "Is she dead?" "We're going to do everything we can to bring her back to life."

I walk outside, I just don't want to see it. I don't want to watch them try to bring Tess back to life.

Pedri walks outside with me, he knows I'm finding it difficult. He puts his arms around me. I rest my head on his shoulder. He doesn't say anything, but that's not necessary.

A car comes driving into the street. I look up. A dark blue car stops near us. A man gets out, holding a baby. I look closely at the baby.

"Hope!" I immediately run to the man. The man gives Hope to me. "'Tess' father wanted me to kill Hope. But I just couldn't do it.'' I look at the man. "You chose the right thing."

The man looks into the house. ''How's Tess?'' ''She's not breathing. But they try to do everything they can to make her come alive.'' The man gets tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry." I just nod.

Tess is taken out of the house. "How is she?" ''CPR worked well. She is breathing, but she needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible." I look at Hope. "I'll take care of her." I smile gratefully and quickly get into the ambulance.

It's been 6 hours since I found Tess. I sit next to her hospital bed. She's breathing and she's stable. But doctors say she has a long road to rehabilitation. The bullet damaged her nerves. Her arm may be paralyzed for the rest of her life.

I see Tess open her eyes. I immediately see panic and fear in her eyes. "It's okay Tess." I run my hand over her hair.

She looks at me in surprise. "Pablo?" "Yes mi vida, I'm here." She cries. ''Hope... Hope is,'' She can't talk because she's crying so much. ''Hope is with Pedri, probably sleeping.'' ''She is?''

''Yes, the man who was actually going to kill her couldn't do it. He waited until people were there so he could give Hope to someone.''

We're both crying now. After a while I sit down again. I grab her hand.

"Are you in pain Tess?" "Yes, quite a bit. But I'm happy to be alive.'' ''Me too mi vida. It was so scary to see you lying there. You were still tied to that chair and you weren't breathing. I was so happy that Pedri was there too, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do.''

''Thanks for saving my life.'' ''Anything for you mi vida, anything.''

Tess pov:

The door opens slowly. I see Pedri standing in the doorway, Hope is in his arms. "Hey hermana, it's so good to see you alive." I smile.

"Thanks, I'm also very happy to see you hermano." Pedri walks towards me. "Shall I give Hope to you?" I nod.

He puts Hope in my arm. I smile at her. "Was she nice to you?" "Yes, very much. She only cried once.'' ''Nice to hear.''

''I'm glad you're here, Pedri.'' ''Where is Pablo?'' ''He had to go to the police to tell the things he saw.''

I get tears in my eyes. "What is it Tess?" "I'm scared." "It's okay to be scared Tess. But you're in the hospital now, you're safe here.''

''I don't know Pedri. My father is still out there and he has a lot of friends who are willing to do his dirty jobs while he's in jail."

"Did your father say where he was going?" "No, all he said is that he left France because everyone was looking for me.'' ''I have an idea. What's your father's name?'' ''Léo Dubois.'' ''I'll call the police right now, okay? They can search all flights for that name. And they can also find out license plate numbers through names. Then we know where to look next.''

I just nod. I'm completely exhausted physically and mentally from the past few days, which makes sense. Pedri starts calling. Hope fell asleep. I look at her. She's so sweet.

Pablo walks in with a large bouquet of flowers. "These are for you mi vida." "Awh, thank you ma vie." Pablo puts the bunch of flowers in a vase with water.

He sits down next to me. ''Can you take over Hope? She's quite heavy like this.'' ''With pleasure.'' He stands up and takes Hope over. I look around. The hospital room looks exactly like the hospital room in Spain.

"How long can you stay with me, Pablo?" He looks at me. "Xavi gives me a week off." "Do I have to stay in the hospital alone?" I say in a shaky voice.

"If no complications arise, you can leave the hospital in 3 days."

"Luckily, because I can not without you.'' ''I can't live without you either.''
