Chapter Nine

Heaven

When I’m discharged from the hospital I take a cab back to my father’s house. After asking the driver to wait a few minutes, I decide to pack a suitcase of clothing, turn off the lights, and lock the door.

Then I return to Hawkin’s cabin.

He is still in surgery, and I don’t even have a phone or wallet with me, let alone a car to get me over the mountain pass to Seattle Regional Hospital. If I even could get there— the snow has piled up and the news on the hospital television blasted coverage of the mountain pass being closed due to an avalanche.

My heart aches at not knowing, but once I’m inside Hawkin’s cabin, I am able that least breathe for the first time since I woke up this morning.

His dog, Whiskey, greets me, and I head with him to the kitchen getting him food and drink with pats after. He was probably terrified after all the commotion last night.

So much unnecessary pain.

The house is a mess, the medics had pushed furniture aside and the police officers were clearly here during the early morning hours. Before I set to cleaning it, though, I call the hospital using Hawkin’s phone.

“Yes, I’m family,” I tell the nurse.

“What sort of family?”

“I’m his… his fiancée.”

It’s bold and not true, but I want it to be. I want to be Hawkin’s now and forever and I want to be able to tell him that on my own.

“Well, actually, would you like me to connect you to his room?” the nurse asks.

“He’s out of surgery?” I ask, my eyes filling with tears.

“He is, the bullet missed bones, arteries, and internal organs. It seems like he had an angel watching over him. He woke up a little over an hour ago.”

I press a hand over my mouth as she connects me to his room.

“Heaven?” he asks. “Please don’t tell me I’m dreaming.”

“It’s me.” Hot tears fall down my face. “I wish I was there. You’re all alone…”

“Where are you?” he asks, his low gravelly voice such a soothing comfort.

“At your cabin. With Whiskey. Poor thing was here all alone last night. I was at the hospital last night but was discharged a little bit ago. I went to my place, then came here. It’s all so much, Hawk.” I begin to cry into the phone, feeling so all alone, wishing I were with him.

“It’s going to be okay, Heaven. I promise. Your father—”

“I know. He didn’t make it.”

“Did you speak with any police officers? I’m guessing they came to you at the hospital?”

I explain to him what Officer Smith told me, and I know Hawkin is able to read between the lines and not say anything damaging.

“You did good, Baby Girl.”

My heart swells will pride at his words. He thinks I did a good job. It’s all I want, to make him proud and happy. My body craves his, and I wish he were here now.

“God, I wish I were with you,” he says. “You’re all alone, grieving your father’s death.
