Chapter 10.

We all load into Seb’s spacious Porsche and haul ass all the way to the main emergency entrance of the hospital. I am out of the car and running through the doors before the car is even fully stopped. I abruptly halt at the nurse’s station completely out of breath.

“Jessa Carpenter,” I say to the lady behind the counter.

“Honey, she’s in ICU, on the fourth floor,” she tells me in a calming voice after looking it up on the computer that’s sitting on the desk in front of her.

By the time I have the information everyone has caught up to me. Jaxx twines his fingers in mine as we sprint side by side to the elevators. While we are waiting, Jaxx tries once again in vain to calm me down.

“Baby, you have to calm yourself. You are wreaking havoc all around us,” he urges me to see what is happening around us.

I look around and finally notice that the windows at the front entrance are rattling and the ground beneath our feet is quaking. People all around us are running to take cover in doorways and under tables, yelling that there is an earthquake. Screams from the people surrounding me give me the strength to finally listen to what he is telling me to do.

“Deep breaths,” Seb whispers in my ear as Gavin reaches for my free hand.

The united front, they have cocooned me in a bubble of family and it is actually working. I can feel myself calming. I take a deep breath and look at them.

“I’m okay now, I think. Just stay close. I still don’t feel totally in control of myself.”

The elevator doors ding and swoosh open. We enter and take what seems like an endless ride to the fourth floor. When the doors swoosh back open, I am out of them like a shot. Only this time I am not alone, Jaxx has me shackled to his side. As we enter the ICU wing I see Devon sitting slumped in a chair with his head in his hands. His fingers are running through his hair over and over again.

He looks up as if he feels me walk into the room and he is out of his seat, rushing to me. He flings himself into my arms and completely breaks down. He is sobbing out his pain so loudly that the nursing staff is looking at us worriedly.

“Shhhhhhh, baby boy, it’s going to be okay,” I tell him, trying to calm him down and not break into shards myself.

I look around and notice that Gavin and Seb have taken up seats close to where we are standing. Jaxx is rubbing circles on Devon’s back, trying to give him comfort. In that moment I look at him and feel the walls that I have had around my heart since childhood crack just a tad more.

“She is strong, Devon. She is going to be okay. Jessa wouldn’t want us crying for her. She would crack a bottle of Vodka and have it waiting for either one of us for when we woke up.
