Canelos POV
Nicole took me backstage with her to see Jamie. The last outfit she wore looked stunning on her and hugged her in all the right places.
When she was finally back from the runway she looked tired and ready to go home. All I wanted to do was pick her up and spin her around then cup her face and give her a million kisses.
I'm not the type to get really nervous but right now I was. I approached her slowly and when I finally got to her she looked me in the eyes with the same expression she did the day I broke her heart.
She began to walk away but I grabbed her arm. "Please don't leave Jamie let me explain-" "explain what Saul? You said what you had to say that day. What are you doing here anyways? Who the hell invited you?"
She forcefully yanked her arm from me and began to walk away, but I followed behind "Jamie please hear me out" She turned around to say something else but couldn't make the words out. She looked down as she held on to her forehead with her right arm and put her left arm on mine. "Jamie is everything alright?" as I said that she fell into my arms.
I started freaking out. Her passing out started causing a small scene. Nicole came rushing to where we were and put her hand over Jamie's heart. "Oh my gosh her heart is beating really slow. We have to take her to the hospital" I picked her up bridal style and took her to my chauffeured car with my dad, Victor and Nicole behind me. I told the driver to drive to the nearest hospital as fast as he could.
Jamie's head was on Nicole's lap and her legs were on top of mine. She was reassuring Jamie that everything was going to be alright. I, on the other hand was drowning in my thoughts. Was I too late to save her? This was all my fault. If it wasn't for my impulsive decisions we wouldn't be in this situation.
I let a couple tears escape my eyes as I caressed Jamie's legs. I felt as if she was barely alive, hanging on for dear life. She was pale and looked lifeless. I hope Jamie was fighting for her life because her knowing that I was here and all the memories of that day going through her head, I don't know if she would want to wake up.
Getting to the hospital Nicole took care of speaking with the doctors since she spoke Portuguese. I told her to tell them to give her the best care and to save her at all costs, money wasn't an issue.
Once they rushed her away me and Nicole sat down in a private waiting room. We sat in silence for a bit until I spoke up. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen" "hey Saul it's okay she's getting cared for now and she's going to be okay"
"Yeah but do you realize that if it wasn't for my stupid impulsive decisions we wouldn't be where we are now. I doubt she would have came to Brazil with you because she would be at home with me. We would've been a happy couple and she wouldn't have hit rock bottom and hurt herself the way she did. Look at her right now she's in there fighting for her life hopefully all because she lost the person that she confided in and loved endlessly. It's. All. My. Fault"
I looked up at the ceiling and layed my head back on the wall and let the tears stream down my face. Nicole didn't say anything. I bet she thought I was right. "Hey bud don't cry. I hate seeing people cry" she said while rubbing my shoulder. I rested my arms on my thighs and held my head in my hands.
"Saul you have to put that in the past. What matters at the moment is Jamie's health and wellbeing. You need to be strong for her because she really needs you right now and even though she might not show it, deep down she still loves you. That's just how real, true love works okay" she rubbed my back in a comforting motion. I looked up from my hands and nodded my head.
She smiled and motioned for me to hug her and so I did. Just like she did with Jamie she was reassuring me that everything was going to be alright. Nicole was the best friend anyone could ever have.
