Passion. Price. Possession

Sex and her family.

The phone slipped from Gina's hand and fell to the floor. Immediately Sally ran to her before she could do the same. Holding her by the shoulders, she gazed into her now blurry eyes and gave her a gentle shake after seeing how distant she had gotten.
"Hey, he could be fine. You have to believe that he is," she said, staring her straight in the eyes.
As if compelled, Gina managed a nod while her lips quivered. "But look at the car, Sal," she croaked out, the tears now streaming hotly down her face.
Sally, not knowing what else to say, pulled her in her arms and embraced her warmly. "We can go to the hospital if you'd like," she suggested, gently massaging Gina's back.
"Yes, please," she sobbed, withdrawing as she immediately moved towards the door, Sally behind.
The drive to the hospital was spent with Sally trying to assure Gina that all would be fine. Occasionally she would stretch her hands across and pat Gina reassuringly on the leg but it did nothing to ease her worry. She was anxious and on edge and all she could think of was Knox hurt and that ate at every fibre of her being. She didn't want to think about the worst case scenarios but couldn't help doing so. She had locked him off these past weeks and if anything happened to him, Gina didn't know if she would be able to forgive herself. She didn't know what she would do if he was seriously hurt. She had so many things to say to him and only hoped she had the chance to.
"Why couldn't I just forgive him?!" she blurted in a broken tone. "If I had, none of this would be happening and he would be fine."
"Hey, you can't blame yourself for any of this. You had pretty good reasons for needing some distance-"
Gina shook her head. "I was selfish too. He left to save a child from a life of horror for God's sake, and I held that against him. I..." pointlessly she brushed the tears from her face..
"Gina-"
"Who I chose to become was not his fault. I had a choice Sal and I chose to be the wild rich girl. That girl didn't have a choice when an illness threatened to take her life. Knox- he made the biggest sacrifice ever; he left his life behind and he took up the role of a single father to a child that isn't even biologically related to him. How - how could I not have seen how good of a man he is?" she asked, looking to Sally with tears pooling in her eyes.
"Gina, you still can't beat yourself up. The fact still remains that Knox hurt you and he kept things from you that he shouldn't have," Sally softly said.
"But I still shouldn't have been so hard on him either and now he could be laying in a hospital bed and I just don't know...I don't know what I would do if he's seriously hurt."
