Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 22 - 'Sorry'

CARA'S POV:

As I made my way back into the hospital, turning the last corner I found Ethan sitting where I had left him, his head resting on the back of the chair and his feet tapping lightly on the white plastered floor. As I went to sit next to him, he positioned himself up right and turned his head towards me, "Cara, I hope you know I'm always here if you need me." he said wiping away the tears that were still fresh upon my cheek. It seemed as if he had practised saying that in his head a million times before actually letting the words leave his mouth.

"I know, thank you Ethan.", I said as I rested my hand on his upper thigh making little circles with my thumb whilst doing so. "You know you don't have to stay though"

"I want to"

"Well then just promise me, you will go home and get some sleep later tonight at least"

"I can't promise anything"

"Ethan", I warned.

"Fine", he said as he threw his hands up in surrender.

I then rested my head on the back of the hospital chair as Ethan was doing so earlier. I decided to take out my phone, in order to get my mind of everything. I then unlocked it and went through my logs to see if Mikaila was right in the end.

"How odd", I said under my breath.

"What is?"

"Oh just Mikaila said Jakob tried calling and texting me a few times last night to tell me but none in which came through."

ETHAN'S POV:

I could feel my cheeks become flush and my eyes grow wider as I tried to push the guilt aside.

"Yea that is odd", I managed to say back.

She then continued to play on her phone for a bit longer as I sat unsure of what to do with myself.
I know it was wrong of me to go behind her back but it was for her own good, Jakob is only going to hurt her and she needs to see that.

She then began moving slightly in her seat, sighing as she did so.

"Uncomfortable?", I questioned.

"Uncomfortable would be an understatement", she slightly laughed before yawning.

Seeing that the chairs did not have any arms rests I moved mine closer to hers and let her lean on me.

I lightly tapped on my lap, "Here, you can lay down if you want. You look a little tired"

She then gave me a small smile before thanking me and laying her head on my lap. As she did so I moved her hair out of her face, leaving a kiss on her temple.

JAKOB'S POV:

After Cara left I needed some time to think before meeting everyone back in the waiting room. I then went on a short walk before going to find something small to eat from a near by vending machine. Once I had picked up my m & m's from the opening of the machine , I made my way into the waiting only to find Cara with her head on Ethan's lap, his lips pressed to her head.

I had an urge to run and push him off but my eyes were redirected to the doctor who stopped in front of them. My legs then took control and I was walking towards where they were sitting trying to ignore the sight of Ethan and Cara together.

Mikaila then jumped up as she had done earlier, ready to fire at the doctor with questions.

"Are they ok? Can we see them yet? Are they going to make it?"

I grabbed both of mikailas shoulders, pulling her back against my chest and whispered in her ear to stay calm. Her shoulders then lightly fell down showing me she was trying to relax.
