I heard footsteps and muffled voices. I tried opening my eyes, but the room was too bright, so I closed them back.
I felt someone holding my hand, so I tried opening my eyes again, I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes. I looked around, we were in a hospital. My hand had wires coming from it and drip.
Hunt was asleep, with his head on the bed, holding my free hand. My shoulder was dressed and my other cuts were also cleaned. I saw Jack And Ray asleep on the couch on the far end, with Jack's head on Ray's shoulder, just like when we were young.
I heard a gasp and turned to see Eva coming out of the washroom I guess. "You are awake," She said and everyone's eyes opened at the same time.
I nodded smiling at her. "How are you feeling?" Ray asked stroking my hair softly. "Peachy," I said smiling and everyone started laughing.
I saw Jack come forward. He was limping. "Are you okay?" I asked concerned. "Nothing a little scotch can't fix," he said smiling. "Mum would have been so proud of you," He said placing a kiss on my forehead. "She would have been proud of all of us" I stated. She really would.
"These boy's haven't eaten for 2 days, please send them away now," Eva said, moving her hands in a shooing motion. "Really? Guys leave now" I said as loudly as possible, which was not very loud.
"Okay, you take rest now," Jack said and left the room. Ray and Eva following him.
I saw Hunt still holding my hand and looking at me with a soft smile. "What?" I asked.
"You are insane," He said and I rolled my eyes. "Don't ever do that to us again" He said kissing my hand. "Someone missed me' I said smirking. I loved teasing him so much and I missed him so much.
"No one missed you," he said rolling his eyes. "Oh, you missed me" I teased again. And we burst out laughing.
Suddenly a thought hit me. Eva was here, Jack was here, Ray was here and Hunt was here. Where was Noah? My body went cold thinking about all the possibilities.
"Don't worry. He is outside. Didn't come in once, only saw you through the window. Hasn't closed his eyes once." Hunt said as though reading my mind.
"He is a mess since you were admitted. He almost killed the doctor" He said chuckling. "I think he blames himself for this" Hunt said rubbing my hand.
"No, he didn't do anything. It was my decision." I defended Noah. He shouldn't blame himself.
"I need all the details on this..this thing by the way," Hunt said gesturing between me and Noah who was out.
"I thought we were soulmates" He dramatically wiped a fake tear. "It just happened," I said.
"I'll send him inside. You wait" Hunt winked at me and went to the door.
As he opened it, I could see Noah sitting on the floor, facing the door. He looked like a mess. Hunt told him something and his eyes lifted and met mine.
I smiled at him softly. He looked so sad and it broke my heart. "Hunt, leave the door open and go eat," I told and Hunt left.
We didn't break eye contact. He was hurting and I knew it. I sat up and groaned. My entire body was hurting like a bitch, probably because of the broken ribs. I saw Noah again and gasped since he was now in front of me.
He pushed me slowly back on the bed and pulled the sheets over my body, not looking at me once. He turned to leave but I caught his wrist.
"Please" I whispered, my eyes filling again. Goddammit, why am I crying so much? He sighed and turned around sitting on the stool beside my bed.
