Chapter 15

I managed to get hold of Jolene the following morning, and she said she and Josh planned to go by that afternoon. Using the map on my phone, I found the hospital where Trevor was staying and jogged down there.

The nurse on duty told me they had given Trevor two pints of blood and maintenance fluids but nothing else. She also told me that his girlfriend had been there for two days straight.

When I entered Trevor’s room, a very young blonde woman was sitting there watching him. She looked like hell, and I suspected she hadn’t slept much.

“Hi,” I said. “I’m Erin.”

“Heather. He hasn’t woken up,” she said, never taking her eyes off him.

“Have you been here all night?” I asked her.

She nodded.

“Have you been home at all? Have you eaten?”

She gave me a blank look.

“Okay. He’s not going to wake up today. Let’s go get you something to eat, then you can go home, take a nap and a shower, and come back tonight.”

She shook her head and turned her gaze back to Trevor’s sleeping face.

“Nope, that’s not going to do it,” I said, taking her by the arm and hauling her out of her chair. She stumbled and tried to pry herself free, but I dragged her out of the room, past the nurses’ station, and punched the down button on the elevator.

“We’re going to get something to eat,” I announced.

“Good!” one of the nurses said. “Take her home and put her to bed once you feed her.”

The food in the hospital cafeteria wasn’t up to Rosie’s, but it was cheap. While Heather ate some soup and a sandwich, I called Lizzy and explained the problem.

“She’s been there for two days?” Lizzy asked. “Dear Goddess. Yeah, I’ll come give you a ride. Do you know where she lives?”

“I think in a dormitory at the university,” I said.

When Lizzy showed up, I pulled the girl out of the hospital and shoved her in the back of Lizzy’s car. Her reaction to being out in daylight was more appropriate to a vampire than a human.

“You live in a dorm on campus?” Lizzy asked.

“Uh, yeah. McCormack,” Heather replied.

We drove in silence for most of the trip, but when we neared the university, the girl stirred.

“What happened to him?” she asked.

“An accident,” I said.

“That’s all anyone will tell me.”

“It was ugly,” I told her. “I don’t think you want to know the details. He’s going to be all right. They have him medicated, but he should wake up sometime tonight or in the morning. Go back then, okay?”

We dropped her off in front of her dorm in the spot where I had first seen her with Trevor, then Lizzy drove me home.
