Chapter Seven

Ion was numb as Adrien bundled him into a cab. He heard him tell the cabbie where they needed to go, but he couldn’t get his mind to move past the fact that his brother was in critical condition after a car accident.

“Ion, what happened to Bogdan?” Adrien held his hand. His grip kept Ion in the present and stopped him from going into hysterics.

“Olive didn’t say much, just that he was in ICU after an accident when he was driving home from work.” Ion looked at Adrien. “He usually comes home around six. Why didn’t anyone call me before this?”

Adrien shrugged. “They might have been crazy with having to get someone to take care of the kids and find out all the information they could before calling you.”

Even in shock, Ion knew that was a weak excuse. “I wonder if maybe my parents just didn’t consider calling me. Obviously Olive called as soon as she could, but you’d think Mama would’ve let me know as soon as she heard.”

“Honey, don’t borrow trouble. Wait until we get there and find out what’s going on. If you worry about it now, you’re just going to get more worked up than you need to be.” Adrien encircled Ion’s shoulders then pulled him close.

Closing his eyes, Ion breathed deeply and Adrien’s familiar, expensive cologne filled his nostrils. Knowing Adrien was there to lean on helped take some of Ion’s tension away. He entwined their fingers, gripping him tightly.

He might not have been happy with his family and had hoped his brother would’ve supported him more. None of that mattered right at the moment. All that he cared about was finding out how badly his brother was injured and what was being done to save him.

His phone rang again, but he couldn’t answer it. Adrien took it from him and answered.

“Hello?” He paused. “This is Adrien, Ion’s boyfriend. We’re on our way. We were at Ion’s apartment, so depending on how heavy traffic is, we should be there in thirty minutes.”

Another pause. Ion felt Adrien’s gaze on him, but he didn’t look up.

“Yes, ma’am. I understand, but you do realize that Bogdan is his brother and he has the right to go see him.”

Stiffening, Ion pulled away from Adrien to stare at him.

“Olive called him, Mrs Vasile, and it seems to me if she didn’t want him there, she would’ve told him not to come.”

His mother had called to tell him not to come to the hospital. What a load of bullshit. He didn’t care what his parents wanted. He was going to see his brother and if Olive said she didn’t want him there, then he’d leave.

“I’m sorry to hear that, ma’am. But we’re still coming and if you chose not to talk to us, that is your problem. I would hope you could put your concerns aside and allow Ion to be at his brother’s side during all of this.”

Adrien met Ion’s eyes and he could see the anger building in them as Adrien listened to whatever Ion’s mother was telling him.
