I am going over delivery figures with my bar manager when Drake comes busting through my office door. He must have gotten Evelyn’s car back all right. I am about to look back down at my work but in one glance, I take in his appearance and know something is terribly wrong.

“Tristan, an ambulance was taking Sunshine away when Kyle and I pulled into the drive. They kicked down the door.”

I drop the invoice and stand. I can’t breathe my and chest is tight. She said she was fine. She’s fine right? “I—I need to…to get to the hospital Drake.”

He ushers me out of my office and past the bar.

“Kyle, cancel the gig!” Drake yells.

My hands are shaking and I’m sweating. I just got her back. I cannot lose her.

I can’t!

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll be up there as soon as I get things done here,” Kyle says as he nods at us.

“Okay.” Drake mumbles.

I need to call Adella. She’s Ev’s only friend here.

“Drake,” I croak.

“What?”

“Get a hold of Adella.”

“Okay, but I’m driving Tristan. You’re shaking too badly to drive safely.” He takes the keys from my hands.

I am in no mood or state of mind to argue with him. I just want to get to the damn hospital. I feel like punching something because she lied to me.

Drake drives quickly to the hospital, and before he can even stop the Jeep, I am out the door. I fly through the automated doors and straight to reception.

“My girlfriend was just brought in by ambulance. She’s in remission from cancer.”

The nurse’s eyes go wide. She picks up a phone, dialing someone and whispering so I can’t hear her. Moments later, she hangs up and gestures for me to follow.

“I’ll take you. Someone there will explain what’s going on.”

My phone starts ringing with Drake’s ring-tone. Shit, I didn’t wait for him.

“Hello?” I answer.

“Where are you at?”

I look over at the nurse. “I left my brother in the parking lot. Where does he need to go for him to find me?”

She gestures for me to hand her the phone. She tells him to go to reception and someone will escort him to me. Why are they being so vague? What is going on?

The nurse hands me back my phone and I quickly keep in step with her. I hate hospitals. They remind me of death. Shit!

“Why can’t you tell me what the hell is going on?”

The nurse sighs and shakes her head no.

“Is she still alive? Please tell me she’s still alive!”

It comes out as a shout. She turns to me while she continues to walk. If I thought I was going to have a heart attack before, it is nothing compared to what I am feeling right now.

“She’s still alive, but that’s all I can say.” She turns back.

I breathe a sigh of relief, but her tone has done nothing to calm my nerves.

We go up the elevator to the Cancer Ward. Why on earth are we in the Cancer Ward? She is in remission.
