Zander POV

Please God, let her be okay.

I can't take waiting anymore in this miserable waiting room. I want to burst through the door and find her.

Let her live. That was a lot of blood. Where was it all even coming from.

The minutes that it took for the paramedics to get there felt like hours. I stayed by her side holding her hand while we waited. What did Larc do? He silently turned around and went upstairs like nothing was happening.

That son of a bitch. Animal!

I looked down at my hands to realize I still had blood on them. Some people near me looked at me with concern at the sight of them. I decided to go wash them off and try to calm down.

What if they tell me she's dead?
What if she's gone already?

I couldn't let myself think like that. I had to remain positive. I went back out and sat down and picked up one of the outdated magazines. I looked up occasionally to see if Larc came through the door or not. This was his fault and he doesn't even bother to come see her. It's his wife!

"Sir, you can see her now."

A small framed nurse stood in front of me. Her forehead was creased with worry and her eyes were hard. Her expression made the panic rise in my throat.

I quickly got up to follow her down the hallway to Edie's room. I hesitated outside of the door. I didn't know what I'd find. Her injuries must be bad for how long it took until I could see her. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

There Edie laid in the bed starring out the window at the city lights. Her eyes were rimmed in red like she had been crying and it made her skin seem a lot paler. Besides the few stitches and bruising on her forehead, she appeared to be fine. When I entered in completely and shut the door she turned her attention towards me. I rushed over to her bed side as relief washed over me.

"I was so worried. It felt like I was out there for so long. How'd you feel?"

"Is Larc with you?"

She looked around the room in panic before locking eyes with me.

"No, he hasn't came. He didn't come out when the ambulance arrived either. Edie I promise you I -"

"I have to tell you something important." She interrupted me. Tears started to fill her eyes again and lost all control and began to cry. "I....I....didn't kno....know. I'm. ....so.....so...sorry."

"You didn't know what? Shhhh. It's okay calm down and tell me what's going on."

I held her close to me as I waited for her to settle down.

"I was pregnant.....I was pregnant when he threw me down the stairs. The doctor said I was about 10 weeks along when I lost it. I'm sorry Zander I didn't know."

I held her even tighter to me as I felt tears swelling in my own eyes. Even though I couldn't be completely sure if it was my child, I can't help but to think that it was. I felt the anger and sadness swell and erupt inside me as I thought of what could have been. We could have been a family. I would've gotten us away from here and we would have been happy. Larc took that away from her and from me. He destroyed what could have been our family.
