PLEASE READ DESC: This is VERY OLD so there might be loopholes or random events that probably don't make sense, full credit to RosieAsRose for starting this, you have to read their Nick x Nadine fic for this one to make sense, so yea enjoy I hope.
"Oh fucking shut up Clarence you were not even doing it right" Nathan rolls his eyes and shoves him aside to check her pulse.
"She is alive!" he says as I am automatically relieved.
"But she is almost frozen, we need to get her in a hospital!" he says the obvious as I carry her out. Erin calls 911.
A few hours later
Nadine (P.O.V)
I wake up slowly, my eyelids heavy as hell. I see I am in a white room, in a bed of some sort.
"N-Nick?..." I say very wearily as I turn my head to my right and see Nick's head jolt up. He is holding one of my hands sitting in a chair.
Am I in a hospital? I thought I was for sure going to be dead.
"Nadine! Oh my god, you are awake, are you okay?" he asks frantically.
I cough out ash.
"Yeah, never been better," I say sarcastically.
"Shut up, seriously..." he said as I saw his eyes getting watery.
"hey. You do not have to cry, I am okay... I am in hospital. Arent I?" I whisper my throat as prickly as a cactus.
He looks at me and I tug his hand asking for a kiss.
He got up and laid his soft lips on mine. When he lifted them I did feel better, he pets my hair and it made me smile.
Oddly enough.
"I am glad you are okay" he responds as he pulls his chair closer and sits down, still holding my hand.
"When will I be able to go home?" I ask still with a raspy voice.
"That is what we will be asking the doctors," Darian's voice said on the other side of me. I turned my head and saw my mom, Darian and Krista lined up in seats next to my bed.
"Mom, I thought you had work today"
"You really think I would keep doing my lame ass job than sit in the hospital hoping you are okay?" she asks.
"The crew is waiting outside worried, is it okay if they come in?" Nick whispers, I turn my head and nod. I see them all waiting outside the door pacing.
"Guys! She is awake!" Nick shouts as they come rushing in, now everyone is crowding my bed.
They are asking me a swarm of questions and I close my eyes, they start to twitch at everything I am trying to process.
"Guys, chill. One question at a time" Krista tells them as they fall silent.
"Are you okay?" they all ask the same question at once
"yeah" I respond, I cough out ash again.
Moments pass and the doctor walks in
"Her body needs time to stabilize the heat, once she is able to do that she can be taken home. But she will be still weakened by the cold for a few days. If she is exposed to cold weather or the air conditioner vents she might pass out. If that happens, have her close to a heat source immediately. When she gets home she might want to rest as cold temperatures can make her tired" the doctor explained. Darian's mouth opened but nothing came out as Nick spoke before he could.
"I will take her home," he says.
"keep the windows rolled up, no AC, and definitely no short sleeves. I suggest you give her your jacket" The doctor whispers even though I heard it perfectly fine.
When my body stabilizes I am given my clothes I was wearing from the warehouse and Alyssas' 'party' I guess. I was wearing what was not fit for the late fall...

I was shivering as we got out to Nicks car, he gave me his jacket but I refused.
"I will not let you pass out just put the fucking jacket on" he insists as he puts it on me.
"I am fully capable of doing it you know," I say as I get in his car. His windows already rolled up.
"Not if you insist on passing out" he makes a point as he turns on the ignition.
He drives me to my house and walks me inside before he leaves I keep hold of his hand. He looks back.
"Stay" I whisper.
He gives a sweet smile and comes inside.
I still have his coat, wow I did not even know hoodies could be this warm.
Nick and I are watching a movie (we finished our homework) in the living room since sadly my TV is not working right now. I feel my eyelids get really heavy all of a sudden.
The whole scene plays in my head.
The torture.
Make it stop.
It hurts.
Stop it.
Nick (P.O.V)
It sickens me what Rebecca did to Nadine.
I saw all the injuries on Nadine's slim body and it pained me to see her have those injuries. She told me everything and it made me want to fucking kill Rebecca.
She told me she was whipped, cut, hit, slapped, scratched and clawed at, even stabbed. The stab marks did not go deep. Nadine recalls it as 'a sharper fingernail'
It made me want to puke.
Nadine does not deserve that
She never has, never will.
She had a big slash on her stomach from the whip as well. Which was the biggest scar she had.
I am so glad that it is over.
Nadine is curled into a ball with her head on my shoulder next to me. She had my jacket on and a blanket to cover her legs, she had bruises on her legs so at least I could not see them.
I assume she fell asleep near the end of the movie. I turn the volume down and kiss her head.
I have not gotten proper sleep for a week when I was worried sick finding her.
The light switch is near me, I dimmed the light so it will not be hard to fall asleep with her.
I get a blanket and lay my head on hers.
It is time to catch up on the sleep I did not get after searching for Nadine for that torturous week.
