Grace's POV
I waken to the sound of heart monitors beeping and hushed whispers. I crack my eyes open and the bright lights in the room blind me. My eyes only take a couple seconds to adjust but when they do I realise where I am... A hospital.
Arloe?
How is he?
I need to get to him.
I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and head towards the door, I hold onto the bed bars and shuffle towards the door. My body is weak and stiff but i need to be strong for Arloe and Weaver. What is he needed me when I was passed out? What is something happened to him?
When i reach the door the hushed whispers become louder and more identifiable. It is Matteo and Carlos having a heated discussion. I open the door and see Matteo's huge back in the doorway. Carlos is stood in front of Matteo and when he sees me he is suprised, he attempts to push past Matteo but can't.
'Grace I was so worried about you... I though-' Matteo interrupts Carlos.
'Grace what are you doing? Get back into bed. The nurse will be coming by to check on you shortly. Arloe is perfectly fine, Weaver and Rebecca are with him'. He reassures me as he places an arm around my middle gently. I gasp at his touch. The thin hospital gown left little to the imagination, it was as if his arm had just wrapped around my body with nothing in between. Crazy huh?
His eyes level with mine as he helps me back into bed and he kisses the top of my head. It was only a few hours ago that carlos had done the same gesture but with Matteo it felt like more. I really like Carlos but my heart tells me that I love Matteo.
Wait. Did I just say LOVE?
Wait. Did I just say that outloud?
No. no. No. My son is lying in a hospital bed somewhere in this hospital and all i am thinking about is Matteo kissing my forehead? What a terrible mother. I break the stare with Matteo and look over at Carlos who is standing in the door way glaring at Matteo. He must have felt my stare because this time when he looks at me he looks broken. I think heard what I just said. So did Matteo.
'Grace?' Matteo says...
'Yeah?'
'I Love you too' and that is the final straw. My heart shatters into a million pieces.

Yeah it was a short but dramatic update.
