Chapter 19-
Waking up in a hospital has always been my idea of fun. Not really though. When I had finally woken up with a massive migraine, all I wanted was to know that Paige was safe. I had called Elise, hoping that she knew what had happened and luckily she had Paige with her. Elise had started crying when she heard my voice glad I was okay while demanding to know what had happened at the same time.
They had arrived about 30 minutes later and Paige had launched herself at me while crying. It had taken me at least 3 hours to assure her I was fine, despite being in a hospital.
I then had to break the new to Elise. Who refused to believe me at first. Not that I could blame her. It was one big, tragic mindfuck that still haunted my dreams. I had held Elise in my arms and cried with her. For her husband, and my fear, and for Trent.
She'd opened up about Grant and his family dynamic. Said she'd known his sister slightly but hadn't seen her in years, and only knew about her drug and rage problems because of the family mentioning it a few times.
Elise had spent many nights at my house these last few months, crying. Feeling guilty even though both Trent and I assured her she didn't need to be.
I think we'd all been leaning on each other lately. I suppose we were lucky in a way to have each other.
Paige had been a trooper, really. She still had a little trouble letting me leave, but we figured it was a phase that she would get over in time. Not that I blamed her at all. I would probably be just as scared as her.
Trent had been very quiet for a couple days, coming to terms with both of his brothers' death.
I had felt horrible, and had given him the space he needed while making sure he knew I was still there for him. We had been discharged about 3 days later, and it had seemed only natural to have him follow me to my house. He'd been staying there since the discharge and I didn't see him leaving anytime soon. Didn't see me wanting him to.
Paige had wormed her way into Trent's heart and it honestly felt like we could be a family. It was hard to not love this man, although I hadn't been able to tell him yet.
I had a feeling though, that I would have the next fifty or so years to do that.
