CHAPTER 21

PRESENT – CIARA

“ C iara, hey...”

I hear the voice and I open my eyes, blinking rapidly to try and bring my vision back. I see Addison, and my heart fills with relief. That lasts a split second. When I remember why I am here, I jerk up in the bed and cry out loudly. “SPIKE!”

Addison grips my shoulders, trying to push me back down. “Hey, you need to lie down. Honey, you hurt your head.”

“Spike, where is he?” I wail. “Addison, where is he?”

She looks down at me, her eyes filled with a pain I never wanted to see. No, no...NO.

“No!” I scream. “No, Addi, no!”

She pulls me into her arms. “He’s alive, hey, shhhh. It doesn’t look good, though. I’m so sorry, but the doctors don’t know if he’ll survive.”

My screaming intensifies, and Addi just sits there, holding me. No. This can’t be happening. It can’t be. Spike is all I have. He’s everything. I’m in love with him. He’s the reason I breathe. No, this can’t happen.

“Hey, sugar.”

I hear Cade’s soft voice, and I open my tear-filled eyes to see him standing at the side of the bed, looking down at us.

“Cade,” I wail. “Cade, he can’t leave me.”

Cade swallows, and his eyes grow glassy. “I’m sorry, Tom Cat.”

“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault.”

He grips my chin, his face determined. “No, it’s not. It went wrong. It happens. It ain’t on you.”

I sob even harder, and Cade crawls onto the bed beside us. Then we just sit there, the three of us, praying in our own way that a miracle happens, and he makes it through. Something has to happen. He can’t die. He just can’t.
