Myla's POV

I woke up to a strong smell of disinfectant. Where the hell am I? I forced my eyes open and took in my surroundings. I was in a small hospital room.

It all came rushing back. The roses and the note from Landon.

That name had me forcing the bile back down my throat. He's the only one who knew it was my birthday.

I have to leave. I can't let him find me. I would rather die then go back to him. My heart beat started to pick up causing one of the machines to start beeping wildly.

A nurse ran into the room followed by Lewis, Mackenzie and Rafael. Wait what's Rafael doing here. He obviously knows that I know Mackenzie. Oh no did I get her fired. My mind was thinking the worst.

The nurse walked over to me and put a gentle hand on my arm.

"Hi honey. I'm Angelina. I need you to calm down. Your body has suffered from an extreme anxiety attack. I know you don't like hospitals so we'll try and release you as soon as possible. I just need to check over your cuts first".

I looked down and I saw bandages all over my legs. The glass from the vase, I didn't realize I got hurt. Now that I think about it there is a little bit of discomfort.

She started to unwrap the bandages and check them over.

"How did you know I don't like hospitals?" I asked.

Nobody know's of my very real hospital fear. I get severe anxiety just from thinking about walking into a hospital.

"I'm sorry miss James your husband told me"

That just about did it. The vomit came up. I threw up over the edge of the bed. It's happening again. He's here. He spoke to the nurse.Why can't he just leave me alone. The tears started falling. Rafael dismissed the nurse and picked me up carefully walking me towards the bathroom. He kicked open the door ignoring the stares from Lewis and Mackenzie. Now that I think about it they were suspiciously quiet.

He sat me down on a chair in the corner of the room. He moved the chair so I was now in front of the sink. He gave me some mouth wash and I gladly rinsed my mouth out.

His stare was so intense. He looked like he was lost in thought.

"What are you doing here"
I finally found my words

"This is all my fault Myla. I'm so sorry"
He genuinely looked guilty but over what. This had nothing to do with him.

"What are you talking about Raf?"

His eyes immediately lit up at the name I called him. I don't know where that came from it sort of slipped out, almost naturally.

"I don't like seeing you hurt Myla. I feel like it's my fault for not being there to keep you safe"

I took his hand in mine and gave it a small squeeze.

"This isn't your fault......It's Landons" I whispered the last part

He kissed my temple and brought me back into his arms. I felt odly safe in his embrace. I sound crazy I know I do but there is something about him. It makes me feels things I've never felt before. I only just learnt the guys name today. What the hell is wrong with me.

Raf picked me up and brought me back into the room. He put me down on the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand. He started tracing circles on my skin. It was actually quite comforting.
