Chapter 30

Gracie's POV

I woke up in an uncomfortable hospital bed. I longed to be at home with in my own bed, Jasmine and Anthony just down the hall. I missed them more than anything. Every time I thought about them I am filled with pain and I have to remind myself to breathe.

I miss hearing Jasmine singing jazz songs and Anthony making me laugh and smile. They loved me so much, I have never really felt love before. The best part of my life is now gone.

Lin has been so great ever since I got the news of their deaths. I appreciate him taking care of me but it isn't the same as Jasmine and Anthony.

I heard a knock at the door, I sit up in bed and tell whoever it was to come in.

The door was pushed open to reveal Nick, my heart swelled at the sight of him. Despite how difficult life has been for me recently he never fails to make me smile.

"Hey, Gracie." He says with a smile.

"Hello, Nicholas." I smiled back.

He sat down next to me on my hospital bed and asks, "How are you doing?" While tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Better, still a little freaked out that I had a seizure but I'm ok I guess.." I responded.

"It's ok not to be ok, Gracie. You lost Jasmine and Anthony and now you had a medical emergency. That's a lot for someone to handle." He says.

"I miss them, Nick.." I said, a tear falls down my cheek. He wipes it away with his thumb and scootches closer to me and wraps his arms around my waist.

He kisses my forehead, I giggle a little and turn my head so that I am looking into his eyes.

"You're so beautiful." He whispers, his eyes flutter down to my lips. He gently places his lips on mine. Kissing him makes me forget about Jasmine and Anthony for a little bit. My mind is empty and I am calm.

I hear someone clear their throat inside the room, Nick and I pull apart from each other and see Lin standing at the foot of the bed with his arms crossed.

"Nick.." He says.

"I'm sorry, sir." He quickly says, jumping off the bed and standing up.

Lin's POV

"Will you come in the hall with me Nick?" I ask the boy. He nods and we walk outside the hospital room.

"Look, I am sorry that I have been kind of cold to you it's just that Gracie is like my daughter, I have to protect her but I really do appreciate that you make her happy." I say to Nick.

"I really care about Gracie, I would never hurt her." He says to me.

"I know you won't." I say. I hold out my hand and he shakes it.

"Lin! Oh my god, Lin!" I hear Gracie yell from inside the room. Nick and I quickly run inside.

"Gracie, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I ask her. She is crying and points at the TV with a shaky hand.

I look at the screen and see the words. "Two young adults found stranded on an island." and a picture of Jasmine and Anthony laying in two separate hospital beds.
