Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 151

The car began to move, pulling out of the private airport and leaving the rest of our family behind. It was late enough in the evening that we missed the rush hour traffic, and it took us less than an hour to get to the hospital. Patrick had checked his phone several times during the drive, but we hadn't heard anything from his mom.

"Thank you for coming with me, love,"

"There is nowhere else I would rather be." Not while he needed me.

"Your dad's going to be all right. We have to keep telling ourselves that until we hear different." Patrick nodded. "I keep telling myself that, but then I start doubting. You tell me, I'll believe you."

I locked my eyes with his. " Your dad's going to be all right." I leaned closer to him, kissing him. Then, we were out of the car, and I took his hand as we made our way into the hospital. I texted the guys that we had made it to the hospital and that I'd be in touch as soon as we had news on Patrick's dad.

They responded quickly. They had to wait for another car, but they were almost back at the house. I knew if the news at the hospital were bad, Drew would have the driver turn around and take them to the hotel we were staying at. They would be there for Patrick just like I was.

Patrick led up into the hospital lobby. To my surprise, I spotted a familiar face. Patrick's mother was waiting for us as we stepped inside, and Patrick released my hand to catch his mom's hug.
