I couldn’t explain how relieved I am to see him awake.“Tia, Sadie.” He smiles. He coughs. “Sorry, my chest hurts a little.” He whispers. Rubbing his chest.I nod.Tia walks up to him and holds his hand. She kisses his cheek and hands.I smile when I see her doing that. Dante looks at my best friend lovingly. “Baby I’m okay…” he tells her.When he starts coughing again, he places the mask back on his face.Tia fusses over him, I could see him loving it. He made a couple of nurses jokes about her taking care of him.“How is Beckett?” he asks after a while.I look at him and shake my head. “He hasn’t woken up yet, from what his brother told us, he hasn’t woken us yet, they don’t know why he’s in a coma they’re running tests to find out why.” I told him what Damon told me.I watch Dante shak
Chapter 31 Sadie Wilde POV I sat outside Beckett’s hospital room, waiting to hear any news from his brother or the doctors. I have not gone home since I heard about Beckett. I’ve biting my news for any news, any updates on his condition. Yesterday it did not sound good. We heard back from Dante’s doctors, he is to make a full recovery, he is awake and complaining about the hospital food already. Sitting outside Beckett’s room alone with my thoughts makes me anxious. I can’t stop my mind from running in circles. I know his parents are in there with him, I’ve lost colleagues before it comes with the job, but the thought of losing Beckett King, feels so heart wrenching and heart breaking, I can’t imagine the world losing a man like Beckett. Beckett’s brother has been keeping me out of his parents’ sights because he did not want the questions, even though the waiting room is filled with firefighters. The warehouse fire was left to another station to take care of, they only just got t
At some point I started caring for Beck, I only want the best for him. I truly cared for Beck. I did. He was one of the few people I did truly care for. After I spoke to Beck a little about just about anything that came to mind... Beck’s younger brother walked into the room, in his uniform. “Hi, sorry I didn’t know someone was in here..” He greets. I smile. “Axel King.” I nod. I stand, I go to walk over to the door, to give him some privacy. “No, please stay…” he sounds like his begging I frown and turn to him. “You want me to stay?” I ask. "I wasn’t going to come, but Damon said I should. I felt relieved when I saw you here. I don’t like seeing him like this." He does not look over at the bed. He looks at the ceiling. I look at Axel for a second thinking about what to say to comfort him... Then I respond. "Yes, I understand. It must be hard for you to see Beck like this." I nod in understanding. He takes a seat on the floor, well technically that was not a seat. "Yeah." He n
Chapter 32Sadie WildePOV*RING**RING*My phone ring pierces my skull.I sigh when they do not put down. I search for my phone. without opening my eyes, I answer the phone.“What?!” I ask.“That’s no way to speak to your future husband…” Hunters voice freezes my fucking blood.I blocked the number he called me from the last time. Fuck!“Fuck off!” I shout at him, I jump up. I’m now sitting up, my eyes wide open, I’m pissed off. I am stressed about Beckett. I do not have time for his bullshit. I’m not scared of him, he is on the other side of the country. I don’t care how far away it is, he is in Boston, he can’t hurt me now.“Oh she’s all of a sudden brave is she? It will not last long. Do not worry that little head of yours, I’ll properly give you some manner soon. I can’t wait to see you my love.” He actually sounds excited.That sick fuck!“Fuck you, you sick fuck!” I say before hanging up.I would fucking murder him when I fucking see him again.He has no idea just how much ange

Jessica was waiting for her ultrasound appointment time so she decided to spend some time with her husband.“I like her.” she randomly mentions.Damon looks up from his files and frowns. “Who?” he asks.“Sadie…” Jessica says before chucking few nuts in her mouth.“The girl Beckett is seeing?” Damon asks.Jessica nods. “Yes, Sadie, I like her…”“You barely know her, you’ve barely known her for like two seconds, you can’t possibly like her already.” Damon gruntsJessica rolls her eyes. “I like her, I think she is a great fit for Beckett. Not that I know a whole lot about her. but I do know they work together and that she is a firefighter.” Jessica says.Damon frowns and looks at Jessica. “A firefighter?” Damon asks.“Yes, we were speaking yesterday and she mentioned that she was a firefighter. I’m sure she said she was a firefighter.” Jessica says recounti
Chapter 34Beckett KingPOVSadie and I have been together for a few months now. She has no idea just how much I love, her in fact she has no idea that I love her. I haven’t said anything to her because I knew exactly how she would react if I did tell her I loved her. Last night when she drunkenly told me she loved me, I was over the moon. I can’t wait until sober her realizes she loves me, when she’s ready, we could finally be truly together, to be able to call her mine out loud. I want to do something special for her tonight, show her just how much I appreciate her. I'm so freaking nervous. I’m not going to tell her I love her. But I was planning on showing her just how much I do. I didn’t want to tell her just yet; I was scared I would scare her away. Even if I did tell her. What if she thinks I'm lying? Sadie never says the L word unless she’s talking about food or her best friend. I was so scared I would mess things up between us, I didn’t want to do that, I had no idea what to
Chapter 35Beckett King(13 years ago)POVToday was my first day back at school since Jessica moved, it didn’t feel the same since she moved away. I walk across the school sports ground. I was going to a quiet place to read. I’ve been reading a lot more recently. Since Jessica’s gone, I don’t feel like interacting with other human beings. I didn’t just lose my best friend but one of the best uncles I knew. Uncle Santos was a great uncle, my father and him were best friends they did everything together including buying houses next to one another. Last night I saw the new people moving in. I was more upset than I thought I would be. I sit down behind my tree I take out my book. I continue reading where I last left off."Hey what are you reading?" I hear from behind me.I turn closing my book. The girl behind me has her dark hair tied in a bun her green eyes so light it almost looks brown, I frown. There’s no way a pretty girl like her would even look my way. I turn back to my book.S

He smiles widely when he sees me coming out.I shake my head and walk up to his car, I get in and close the door.When I look over at him, when he hasn’t started the car yet, he is looking at me expectantly. I frown. “What’s wrong with your face?” I ask him.Sighs dramatically. “Look here I picked you up from work and I want a thank you Sadie” he complains…I try not to laugh when I look at him. I nod. “Of course. I apologise. Where are my manners. I would like to formally apologize for not thanking you. Thank you, Axel, for taking time out of your busy day to fetch me from work.”He narrows his eyes at me, when he’s satisfied, he nods and starts the car.He turns on the radio, I nod listening to the song. Axel does not speak the entire way over.When we get to the hospital, Axel drops me in front of the hospital and goes to park the car. So, I get out of the car, I check my phone while I wait f
