*Sam's POV*
I pull into the garage and hop out of Alyssa's car. Part of me doesn't even want to walk into her house because it's going to feel so empty. But I walk in anyways. I turn on every light as I walk past each room. Maybe if I have all of the lights on, then it will feel less lonely. This big house wasn't made for just one person. I head upstairs to the guest bedroom and grab some clothes to change into and then head to the bathroom.
I walk into the bathroom and sync my phone to the bluetooth speaker on the counter. I start to undress and turn on the water. I get in and let the water fall onto my body while my music plays in the background. I just stand there for a few minutes and let the hot water run down my body. My mind starts to wander, and I think about the time that I stripped down and got into the shower with Alyssa. She was so upset that day, and it was all because of Jack. Every time I've ever seen her unhappy it always had something to do with Jack. I don't get why she stays with him. The love you have for someone can only take a relationship so far. Love isn't the only important part of a relationship, I mean c'mon, what about communication? Loyalty? Effort? Support? I don't remember any of those being a factor in their relationship, but she loves him so that's just supposed to cancel out everything else? That's just dumb. She's always been happier with me. She smiles more around me. She opens up to me more than she ever has to Jack. We get each other. I can't let her go back to him. Even if it is just for Bella's sake. I just wish she would realize that I'm the one for her. It's me, it's always been me. I'm the one she should end up with. I mean she should at least give me a chance to make this shit work. But nooooo Jack always has to come back and be all dramatic and swoop in right as her and I are about to go for it. Every fucking time.
I finish showering and get out. I didn't realize I'd been in there for over an hour. Jesus.
I throw on my clothes and walk into the nursery. I can't help but to just sit in the rocking chair and think about Bella. I wish I could just hold her right now. Every time I look into her eyes it seems like she just gets me, like I never have to even say a word and she just knows. I talk about Alyssa with her all of the time. I'm sure she's probably going to get sick of it eventually, but right now I think she likes to hear me talk about her momma. When she's crying, I bring up Alyssa's name and she stops almost immediately. It's amazing really. God I miss them.
I get up, walk into the guest room, which is basically my room at this point, and throw myself onto the bed. I just lay there for hours and stare at the ceiling. I can't sleep without them here.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of my phone ringing through the speaker, I forgot to disconnect it. I bet it's Jack calling because we forgot to pack something.
*Jack's POV*
I'm jolted out of my sleep by the sounds of the monitors beeping viscously. I panic.
"Babe? Hey, Lyss, are you okay?" I ask as I shake her lightly.
I jump out of the bed as the nurses and doctor rush in. The obnoxious sound from the monitors woke Bella up and now she's crying. I run over to her and pick her up, rocking her back and forth in my arms.
Just as the nurses and doctors begin to examine Alyssa the beeping stops.
"What's happening? What's going on?" I yell.
"She's coding!" I hear one of the nurses yell.
"Where's that crash cart?!" the doctor shouts.
It's like a tornado in the room. People rushing in and out. Hovering over her. Scattered throughout the room.
I can't even think straight.
This can't be happening again.
"Clear!" the doctor yells, as all of the nurses stop what they're doing and throw their hands up.
"Nothing. Charge again!" the doctor yells.
