Roxanne's P.O.V

As I walked out hospital room I looked around. And then I saw something I never expected I would see. Duke was sitting against the wall, knees up to his chest obsuring the view of his face. All I could hear from him was muffled sobs and all I felt was guilt. I wouldn't let him see Noah, even once. He had to go behind my back just to see him once. I regreted not listening to what he had to say and kicking him out instead. I the only thing I could do in a situation like this.
"Hey, Duke?", He curled inwards on himself, as if trying to hide from me and I don't blame him; I would be doing the same if I was him.
"I am sorry for not listening to you before and yelling at you. You were right I should have listened to your side of the story before jumping to conclusions." I place a hand on his shoulder in hopes that I can at least try to comfort him. "I was a jerk, but I heard you talking to Noah the other day, and I wanted to tell you that I*i believe you. I was to blinded by rage at what Noah had told me before he got into the crash, I needed someone to blame and that became you. I am so sorry." I hear his sobs become queiter as I speak
   "I don't blame you, I would have done the same if I was in your position" his words are so quiet and muffled that I can barely hear them, "I care for him so much that the moment I heard the he was hurt, I was terrified. All I could think of was to find him and find out his condition and see him."

"And I should have realized that. In the weeks that I have known you, you have only ever been loyal to him. The love you have for him is so obvious when it is just us. But the past is in the past. Will you forgive me?"
"I do forgive you, because you where only being protective" He lifts his head up and looks at me. "What is the news on Noah, by the way. You don't leave that room for anything."
"He's awake. The nurse kicked me out of the room so she could check him over." I reply. All of a sudden I am being hugged.
"Thank god. He is alive and he is awake." He says. I hug him back, letting the sense of relief finally wash over me. As we embrace, on the floor, the nurse comes out of the room and tells us we are allowed to re-enter the room.
