~SYAIR~

I hold her body in my arms, begging her to stay awake. I couldn't lose her, not like this. She bleed from the upper stomach.

Her eyes fluttering, struggling to stay open. Her tears rolled down her cheeks. "We have to leave now" I demand everyone.

I reach for the keys in my pockets unlocking her handcuffs as I pick her up carefully. "I'll handle it syair, just get her to the hospital" Amir tells me and I don't hesitate.

"We gotta settle this first, I'll met y'all at the hospital"

I nod holding my tears back. Aria cries died out as I exit the basement. I was afraid she wouldn't live. That I wouldn't be able to tell her how sorry I am, tell her that I love her again.

I wouldn't know how to function correctly if I did lose her.

I rush to my car finding something to tie her wound with. After a minute or two I had her wrapped up and positioned in the front. I didn't want her to hurt herself in the back because she was already unconscious.

I look up the nearest hospital...15 mins.

"15 more minutes baby, you think you can hold on for me?" I talk to her not really expecting an answer.

So much happened I don't know how to feel. I have so many emotions wanting to come out at one time.

Founding out my mama been lying to me my whole life about who's my dad. The fact that she still wanted me to keep contact with a man that put me in the hospital—damn near killed me was insane. I was angry at her. I didn't have any words for her, I just wanted an understanding.

I tap my finger impatiently at the last light before I'll be at the hospital. It finally turns green and I turn into the hospital, searching for a parking spot.

I felt that all of this was my fault..non of this would have happen if I just wasn't so stupid. If I would have stayed up longer to pick up her calls. If I came over even after she asked me not to. If I never talked down on her, and lied about my relationship with her I could have protected her from him.

And now there's a chance I will never get to apologize.

A tear slide down my cheeks but my face remain solid. I picked her up carefully, not wanting to hurt her more than she already is. Locking my car and speeding to the doors yelling out for medical help.

A nurse rushes to me with a set of doctors rolling a cottoned bed. As I place her down gently watching as they pull her away from me.

Pushing my bad thoughts away, I try to only think of the good ones.

...

I sat outside her room with my elbows on my knee and my head between my hands. It's taking them to long and it's starting to worry me.

They didn't really give me much information. They put me out the room anytime I would try and see her.

"Are you the boyfriend?" The nurse asked me making my head pop up. "Yes" I replied.

"She isn't up yet, but it's okay for you to see her" she tells me and I stand up walking into the room. "I'll give you two some privacy" she leaves closing the door behind her.

Her body was wrapped in many wires and tubes. I sat on the bed holding her hand leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"I'm sorry baby, I was selfish—only thinking about myself. I didn't protect you like I said I would. I'm sorry" I holding her cheek resting my head on her shoulder.
