Savage: Confessions Of a Tainted Lover(Book 2)

Chapter 2 - Caregiver(Unedited)

I'm not sure how long I was asleep but the sound of car doors slamming wakes me up quickly. I rub the sleep from my eyes, "Where are we?" I ask.

"Where at our cabin." Elizabeth replies, getting out. I look out the window, seeing that it's still late at night I get out as well, following them into the cabin. Stepping inside, I take in everything around me. From the large ceiling, the dark paint, to the lit fireplace with a picture of they family hanging over it

Tony walks around, putting the rest of the bags in the living room. "Is that everything?" Elizabeth ask to which Tony nods his head. "Yeah..that's everything." He replies, rubbing his face. 

"Here, let me show you to your room." Elizabeth says, picking up my bag. She shows me to my room with a bathroom attached to it. Setting my bag down at the edge of the queen size been. "The bathroom is over the, fully stocked with towels and the cloest is just in there." She says.

I look over at her, wondering how she can stay so calm durning times like this. "Hey Elizabeth, are you okay?" I ask

She looks at me with a confuse expression. "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know." I say with a shrug my shoulders. "It's just that, Julius is in the hospital laying in a coma, I'm a fucking mess right now and Tony looks like he hasn't ate or slept in days, and girls having to stay away because of all this, but you..you're just so calm. How are you doing it?" I ask

Elizabeth sighs. "It's just something I have to do." She says so simply, putting her hands on my shoulders.

"One of us has to keep things together even when everything is fallen apart around us. So the best thing for you to do is just rest alright? I'll take care of Tony, you take care of yourself for now." She give my shoulders a little squeeze before heading to the door. "I almost forgot, Julius mother is coming into town to come see him as well." She says before closing the door.

Letting her words sink in, I head to the bathroom so start my bath. Stripping away the same clothes I've been wearing for the past two day and I get in, letting the hot water over my body, feeling all of the tension leaving my body as I close my eyes and relax.

My mind beings to wander back to when I met Julius for the first time in years. He looked so different, so much taller and more handsome. But also sad and..empty, like he has done so much in life already but nothing can fill him up with life again. Over time I started to see a change in him, almost as if he's becoming alive again. I know that I have so much that I don't know about him yet, like the play room in his apartment and among other things but soon I'll get a chance to ask him.

Soon.

I barely slept at all, there was just to much on my mind like the thought of going to visit Julius again today. I get out of bed and quickly wash up, not bother with putting much into my outfit. I head downstairs but stop when I see Tony and Elizabeth talking in a hush tone. I watch them for a bit but not being able to make out what they're saying.

I clear my throat, seeing them both step back and look my way. "Hey, um..I was wondering if we can head out to the hospital now?" I ask

"Oh yes of course." Elizabeth says quickly. "Let me just go grab my purse." She says, stalking off into the other room, leaving Tony and I alone in silence. 

"Hey Tony, are you alright? You know..with everything that's going on?" I ask, surprised when he answers back quickly.

He looks at me with a glare. "My brother is in the hospital in a coma, what do you think?" He grabs the keys and leaves out, leaving the front door wide open and leaving me dumbfounded.

The car ride back in town to the hospital was quiet, the tension could be cut with a knife but thankfully the drive wasn't long. When we finally arrive we check in and head up to his room, thanks to Tony we were able to give Julius a private room but when we arrive the nurses are moving him.

"What the hell is going on here!?" Tony ask, marching over to them.

The nurses looked wide eyed at him. "W-We were told that paitent Julius Jr. Preze was to be trasnported to another hospital."

"Tony did you call for this?" I ask, confused as the next. I look over at Julius lifeless body and my heart breaks even more.

"No I didn't call for this. What hospital are you taking him too?" He ask.

"We can't say-"

"Why the fuck not. I'm listed as one of his primary caregiver!" Tony yells.

"Not anymore you're not." Voice calls from Julius room. A man steps out, tall in an expensive suit, his jet black hair sliked back with a scare along his cheek. There's only one man I know with a scare on his face.

"Julius is my hijo, which means I'm his legal primary caregiver."
