Zion's POV

I woke up hours before we needed too. If I'm being honest, I'm sure I had only gotten 30 minutes of sleep. My mind was constantly running with thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I kept think of how much pain she must be in. I packed a bag worth of clothes and some clothes that she had left here just in case. I quietly walked out of my room and into the kitchen. I noticed the light was on, I walked in, seeing Sarah sitting at the table. "Hey" I whispered to her, she gave me small smile. "Can't sleep either?" She asked, I shook my head no. I walked over to the chair next to her. "I'm not the one to pray but at this point it's all I can do" I said to her. She reached and held my hand. "I know Caleb, when we get there, we will know what we have to do" she replied. I nodded my head. We sat in silence until everyone woke one by one. Sarah and Paul had gone outside to talk, Edwin walked over to me and sat down. "You good Z?" He asked, I looked up at him. Shaking my head no, "she has to be okay Ed" I whispered. "I know, all we can do is hope she's okay." He replied. After that, it wasn't long until Brennen texted us saying he was pulling up. Luna's parents, Brennen, and I were going. Edwin decided to stay back, I don't think he was ready to see his best friend in that condition. And I knew if I needed him, he'd be here as soon as possible. We grabbed our bags and walked to Brennen truck. "Brennen, this is Luna's parents. Sarah and Paul. Guys this is Brennen, Kyra's boyfriend." I said introducing them. They said their good mornings before Brennen drove to the airport.

.....

We were boarding the plane with a few national guards. I guess they were doing this for all families of the victims. The entire drive here, I was quiet. "She'll be okay Caleb. Luna's strong" Sarah said putting her hand on shoulder. I smiled and nodded my head. The entire flight, I had fallen asleep. But would wake up every now and then. I just wanted to get to the hospital and be by her side. Hold her hand and tell her how much she means to everyone but most importantly to me.
