Broken

Chapter 12: Hero

~Arielle's POV~ 

I screamed his name over and over, Drew dragged me out of the car and the paramedics pulled a cold lifeless Wes out of the car. They rushed him into the intensive care unit, I tried to run after him but Drew held on to me. I couldn't believe what just happened, I didn't even know if my boyfriend was alive. 

Bella was back but, a huge part of me was missing now knowing what was going on. I don't know what I was going to do if he wasn't alright. "Ari I know this is difficult for you to wait but, you have to wait." "That's my boyfriend in there! I can't be patient..I can't do anything unless I know he is okay.." 

I sobbed into Drew, he pulled me into his arms and held me close. I saw Bella out of the corner of my eye, with Drew's free hand he was holding one of Bella's hands. Bella was looking up at me, she looked so concerned. "Ari, are you okay?" 

I let go of Drew and got down on Bella's level. "I'm working on wonderful kiddo, I'm just glad you are safe." I got up and we all started walking inside the hospital towards the dreaded waiting room. Drew held on to Bella's hand, I was so thankful for him being there. 

We sat down in the waiting room, hours passed and we still didn't know anything. It was eight thirty and Bella was yawning and rubbing her eyes. "I think I should take her home so she can go to bed." Drew said looking down at Bella. 

"I couldn't ask you to do that Drew." "You weren't asking, I'm going to go. I will be back tomorrow morning text me or call me when you hear something." I gave him a quick hug and sat back down waiting. 

I fell asleep for what felt like a few minutes but it was about an hour. A nurse came out of Wes's room, she had a small smile on her face. "Your boyfriend is alive dear, you can go in and see him now he woke up a few minutes ago and has been asking for you."

I felt so relieved, I thanked her and ran into the room. As soon as I walked into his room I saw Lorraine and Keaton sitting and talking to him. When they saw me they decided to give Wes and I some alone time. 

"Hey babe," Wes said and smiled at me. "MY BABY IS OKAY!!" I ran over and pressed my lips against his, I pulled away and he looked up at me with sad eyes. "I wasn't done yet." He grabbed my face and once again our lips crashed together. 

"I'm so sorry...I got you into this whole mess and I just...It's all my fault..You getting hurt all of it is-" "Stop talking like that, none of this is your fault. It isn't your fault your dad is a crazy bad man, he hurt me not you." 

I felt so guilty for what happened to Wes, none of this would have happened if he wasn't involved in what happened. I sat down next to his bed and he found my hand and interlocked our fingers. I loved the familiar feeling, I felt safe whenever he held my hand. 

I couldn't believe he was okay, despite everything that went down today I was so unbelievably happy at the moment. My boyfriend was okay, he was alive, he was safe, and he was my hero.
