Chapter 19

I don’t know when, but I drifted off in the chair. As much as I wanted to stay with Blaine, there wasn’t much else to do but wait and the stress of the evening had worn me out. When I was nudged awake some time later, it took me a moment to remember where I was and what had happened.

“The doctors need to check him over,” dad said. I blinked at him then looked at Blaine again. He was still unconscious.

“How long was I asleep?” I asked as I followed him out the room.

“I’m not sure but you’ve been in there an hour.”

I rubbed my eyes as we made our way back to the waiting room. My neck felt stiff after dozing in the chair. Dad led the way to a coffee machine and began pressing the buttons.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“Tired,” I yawned.

“He’s going to be okay,” he said as he placed a cup under the nozzle.

“Did you get hold of his dad?”

“I did. He’s on his way.”

I really didn’t want to see Darren again. I hadn’t seen him since the night he pretty much accused me of being a slut and offered to get a doctor to check me over. I almost shuddered at the idea of talking to him again.

We took our drinks and went to sit down. The chairs here were super uncomfortable but I leaned back anyway, warming my hands on the cup.

“Did you want to go home?” he asked me. “We can come back in the morning.”

“No,” I said, shaking my head. “All I’ll do is worry until he wakes up.”

“It might be a while yet.”

“I’ll wait anyway. You can go if you like. I’ll be fine.”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

I leaned against him, letting out a sigh.

“I take it you two patched things up in the end?” he asked.

“I wouldn’t say that,” I admitted.

“No?”

“I was hoping Avaria would help me to clear my head a bit. So much for that.”

“You can go there anytime. Once Blaine’s out and back on his feet you can go and spend some time in the realm. It will do you some good.”

“I suppose so…”

About twenty minutes later, Darren appeared. He spotted us and marched over.

“Where is he?” he demanded.

“He’s being checked over,” dad replied calmly. “He’s not awake yet.”

“I want to see him.”

“They’ll let you in when they’re done. Sit down, Darren. It might be a while.”

Reluctantly, he sat down on the chair beside my father. He cast me a glance but I looked away.

“How long have you been here?”

“Just short of two hours.”

“My phone was off,” Darren admitted, rubbing his chin. “When I saw all the missed calls I thought the worst.”

They began chatting quietly about what happened. Not wanting to hear the details again, I zoned out and stared at the tiled floor.

When the same doctor who’d taken me to see Blaine earlier stopped in front of us, I sat upright.

“Everything looks good,” he confirmed at our expressions. “He’s awake now but he’s a bit groggy.
