“Damon,stop! I’ll decide . . . it’s my choice . . . Iwantyou.”
He groans at my words or maybe it’s the love marks I’m leaving on his back; I can’t be sure. I hate when he does this, when he tells me what I’ll do, what will happen.
He doesn’t know shit.
For once in the past two and a half years, things are clearer, like I’m finally heading toward where I’m meant to be.
And I’m convinced I’m meant to be in his arms.
I want him, irrevocably—too deeply. And I can’t think of anything that could change my mind.
Two and A Half Years Ago . . .
Did I imagine it? The angel at the foot of my bed? Did I imagine this angel with the darkest eyes?
It was all a dream. Of course, it was a dream.
Why would a random man be standing at the edge of my bed? He was so beautiful, my angel, and now he’s gone.
And the reality of life is shooting right through the prick of a needle straight to my heart.
“Gemma! Gem... oh, thank God. . .” I hear the cries of Gia right next to me and I feel the warm hand that belongs to my father.
“Gemma . . . it’s Dad. Can you hear us?”
I stare at him, slowly turning my head because the smallest movement hurts.
Holy hell, everything hurts.
My throat is so dry it’s as if I’ve been deprived of water my entire life. I stare at the multiple IV’s taped to my hand.
“Gemma... do you remember what happened?” my pregnant sister asks, her trembling hand placed over mine.
“Harv—” I can’t say more. The pain is too grave. So much pain I just want to go back to sleep.
“You were in an accident, sweetheart,” Dad says.
“Harv—” I cough again.
I see a veil of tears blurring my sister’s eyes when she answers me. “H-he’s in surgery. You focus on getting better.”
Harvey. Surgery.
No.No.
It hurts—it’s burning, it’s wheezing, it’s trapping me. My heart, my mind, my body—it all hurts so damn much.
A nurse comes in and introduces himself but I’m miles off this planet.
I just want to know how Harvey’s doing.
I don’t care about the nurse’s name or that I was in an accident. I don’t care, Idon’t care.
Tell me that Harvey’s okay.
Tell me he’s okay.
That’s all that matters.
