She's My Angel

Chapter 11

Ophelia's POV

 I am so tired. Tired of the voices that would sometimes come in my room talking about me like I was not even there. The family doctor would check in occasionally but they really needed to check her degree, she looked clueless. Rhett should just take me back to an actual doctor. Heck right now I would take Dr. Hurt. 

I have always hated hospitals and anything related to being sick. I avoided them like the plague but it seems you can't avoid anything for long. It seems now I'm sick and it might as well be the plague with the way people here are treating me. 

All day it has been I'll get that for you. If I let out so much as a sigh they call for the doctor.  I love people but right now I can only focus on one thing and that is ignoring the pain. So why I am grateful for the concern, I just wish they would give me some alone time or find Rhett. 

Rhett. He has been M.I.A all day. I mean it is not like I am his girlfriend or anything but it would be nice for him to peak in and see if I was still alive every now and again. 

Maybe since I became sick he realizes he does not like me like that. Maybe he never did. I sometimes assumed he cared about me, maybe because he told me. Many times. 

I care about him. More than I care to admit. He still has some explaining to do. He did promise and I held up my side of the deal. So when was he going to tell me whatever he has been so carefully keeping from me.

I finally got someone to go fetch my phone. She had looked at me warily before giving it to me. It is not like I am calling the cops. I am going to call Beth though. 

"Opheila is that you?!" She surprisingly answers on the first ring. 

"Yes. I am sorry that-" I was cut off by a deep voice on the other side of the phone. 

"Where the HELL have YOU been?! I am more than pissed, I am furious. When Dr. Hurt came and said that you were missing, we all freaked out. Does that even matter to you?! We thought you had been taken or worse. Remember Jack? Because we all do. How thoughtless can you be I thought you were better than this. Ophelia we are suppose to be your family. We had to call your parents, they are at your house worried to death." 

I was taken back at how Hunter spoke to me. I could feel tears streaming down my face. He had never spoke to me like that, ever. It hurt so bad, he did not let me explain my side. 

Anger started invading my system, fast. How dare he bring up Jack? Jack was someone we all agreed was never to be mentioned again. I had done well to half way forgetting about him but Hunter had to ruin that. 

The pain intensified making me yell out. I really did try to calm my breaths down but it was becoming hopeless. Clutching the phone tighter to my ear I reply to Hunter. 

"You have no fucking right! I get that you are upset, so am I. You just had to jump to conclusions didn't you, because that is what you do best. I am thoughtless? More like you are, how dare you bring up him?! This has nothing to do with him. I was calling to tell all of you that I am at Rhett's. I passed out and he brought be to a family doctor. Gosh, how clueless can I be. I thought my friends would want to know that I am not sure what is happening to me or how I am safe but unsure if any doctor can find out what is wrong with me. Right now I think it would best if you not talk to me anymore. Tell Beth bye." Not even bother with hanging up, I sling the phone hard as I could against the wall crushing it. 

I really need Rhett. More than anything, it was like my body was calling out for him. 

"Rhett!" 

"Rhett!"

"Rhett!" 

I kept shouting until I heard the door open and Rhett coming rushing in. 

"Ophelia what is wrong, love?" I did not realize that I was still crying. 

"Please stay with me, I need you." Not evening hesitating, he walks over and lays next to me on the Queen size bed. 

"Angel, did something happen?" He asked while stroking my cheek. 

"Yes. My friend Hunter yelled at me for a lot of things. I don't want to talk about that right now. Please tell me that secret now. I need a distraction."I scoot closer to him and wait. 

"I don't think now is the time." He looks pained but I was determined.

"Rhett tell me." I demand. 

"Fine but it going to be the hardest thing I will ever have to tell you. You may never look at me the same way again and I don't know how I could live with that. I couldn't." Nothing he could tell would make me not care about him. The way I felt for him was hard to explain. 

"I'll never not want you Rhett." I honestly told him but I could not stand the intense look he gave me, making me look away. I felt his finger pull my chin up and then I felt his lips. 

We had kissed before. I thought those were the best kisses of my life but I was so very wrong. 

This kiss touched me all over. It was like Heaven on Earth, he was my Heaven. I never want it to end. I leaned as close as I could get, wanting to make this kiss last. All amazing things must come to an end but mine of course had to end by the pain escalating to an unbearable point. We yanked apart when I screamed. 

I bet everyone in a 5-mile radius heard me. 

"Rhett something is not right." Is all I got out before I could not keep my eyes open anymore. 

Rhett's POV

She was not breathing my mate is not breathing. 

This could not be happening. 

But it was.
