***Sebastian's POV***
"Shhhhhh. I'm here baby. I'm right here." Soft, warm and masculine fingers run over my jawbone. My eyes flutter but, it is difficult to get them open.
"That's right, love. Open those ocean blues. Let me look into those beautiful eyes." Silk lips brush against my pink pout. My eyes roll behind my glistening lids.
"Mar" I cough. My throat is dry, feeling like sandpaper has scraped down the inside of my esophagus.
"Don't speak." Long fingers grip my chin. A straw is placed in my mouth. I greedily suck from the cup. The ice cold water stings as it washes down my throat.
Coughing, I sputter. I swallow the cold liquid and it makes me shiver.
"Come on sweet man. It's been so long. Just come back to me." The velvet tenor fills my chest with warmth.
My eyes open and I adjust to the scene before me.
He's not here.
Sadness washes over me. My heart aches and yearns for Mark.
"Don't cry Seb." Warm masculine fingers wipe my escaping pain away. I lean into the hand, seeking any kind of comfort.
"How are you feeling, babe? Don't cry. Please." Alex sounds just as exhausted as I feel.
"Throbbing head." I whisper. I keep those hands rested to my cheek.
I miss him so very much.
"You took a hard fall." Alex explains what I already knew.
"Two steps forward, one step back." Alex chuckles nervously. I stare at my friend.
"Hurts. Too much." I breathe deeply.
"Yeah, they said you would experience a headache."
"No." I move his hand to my chest, over my palpating heart. "Here. It hurts here."
"Babe, I know. I want to make it go away. I don't know how." Alex confesses in a tortuous whisper.
"Need him. Please. I will do anything." I plead.
"You're killing me Seb. Absolutely murdering me." Alex lays his head on my forehead.
"I would do anything to bring him to you. I would give anything for you. Anything." I feel the hot tears plopping down on my forehead. I reach up and cup Alex's neck.
I hold him tightly to me.
"I'm sorry." I blubber the words through my trembling lips.
"Shut that pretty face. You don't need to apologize. I love you Seb." Alex kisses my temple. His hand holds my wrist.
"He's awake." I hear the joyful sound of my Mama. I smile slightly at the happiness she voices.
"Hi, Ma. Didn't mean to scare you." My voice is so small, too fragile.
"Give an old woman a heart attack." Ma playfully scolds me.
"Sorry." I turn to look at her from under Alex' head.
"Alex, you are smothering him. Off now. Go on boy." Ma swats lightly at Alex' butt.
"Okay. Okay. Come get your love." Alex pries himself out of my grip but doesn't go far.
"My baby. I love you. Please don't scare me so badly. I thought I lost you." Ma sniffles over me.
"I'm right here." I promise.
