Clarie's pov

The strong exacerbated feeling you get staying in a white lonely hallway filled with the smell of antiseptic and sickening drugs with only a single useless nurse as the receptionist is more than nerve racking indeed, because it is. Every single thing that has occurred in my life for the past few months has been.

And the most annoying part of all this wait is when you walk to the nurse behind the desk to ask about the patient and she snobs or ignores you or better still she says she doesn't know anything and each time a doctor passes by and you run to him to ask him about the patient, but he says he has an emergency and walks away, that word that comes out of their mouths scares me to the very core and it's no other but Chris Dunbar's fault. The intensity of how I want to kill him is so overwhelming and it's taking the love of who is in one of the emergency rooms for me not to go and murder him.

I sat on the hospital floor with my head in my folded legs worrying and anticipating what could happen to him, he's already part of my family and I really don't want him to die because I'm starting to love and care for him too.

We've been staying in the hospital for hours after the shoot and it's really killing. My friends and even my brother came just minutes or an hour after we got here and then all had identical expressions on their faces... Fear and sadness.

His tall figure towered over me and I couldn't bring myself to look up to him till he got down next to me "any news" my voice sounded raspy and tired and his green eyes showed a lot of emotions that I couldn't even read

He shook his head and gave me a plastic cup of tea, "here,"
the fact that he remembers I love tea and not coffee in this situation is heart warming "it would suit you"

"Eiden i'm sorry" I held the cup in my hands to let the warm take over my system

"not a word Clarie," he looked into my eyes
"I've told you never apologise for his doings" he wrapped his hands around mine "I know he'll be fine, he's a strong man. Always have been" he said looking into space

It all happened suddenly, The loud clanging sound of metals hitting each other as the bullet came out of the gun tore my eyes to the window as it met the glass shattering it into pieces to let itself in

I yelled for everyone to get down but the bullet beat me to it and went straight to the individual in front of Eiden who thankfully got down.

The police ran out to apprehend the shooter, Chris while we recovered from the shock and saw who was shot

Blood gushed out from his body staining his expensive shirt like a tap turned on to full speed

Nothing we did to stop the blood before the ambulance came eased the pain he was feeling or the blood either

Just to think over again that he's hurt because of me partially is painful.

"family of Mr Harper?" the voice sent me up to my feet and like every other person running straight to the doctor

"How is he Doctor?" Laura asked with puffy eyes

"i'm pleased to tell you that the surgery was a success, we managed to remove the bullet. It was locked in the muscles of his left breast dangerously close to the heart but we got it out and now he's alright. Only a few people should go in to see him right now because he needs to rest" the doctor said with a tired smile

"thank you Doctor" Eiden said with relief in his voice

The doctor gave us a nod with a smile before walking away
