Let’s hope it’s nothing serious

/Brian's pov/

I hold her hand as I lead her towards the stairs on the high table but I notice that she was walking really slowly like she was going to trip and fall

"This is not going to work" I mumble as I lift her off the ground carrying in a bridal styled way because that is exactly what she is to me, she is my bride.

"What are you doing?" I she inquires in an alarmed voice

"Don't open your eyes" I quickly instruct her so that she doesn't ruin my Suprise.

"I know you are trying to prevent a situation of me slipping down the stairs, but I promise to follow your lead carefully so just put me down" she tries to convince me

"Carrying you all the way is much more effective and beautiful than asking you to close your eyes and leading you there like a blind person" I answers her still moving

Ember buries her head on my chest and I smile because she looks really cute while trying to avoid everyone focusing on us but on the contrary I am enjoying the attention .

She eventually slowly leans into my arms but then I wished she did that from the moment I carried her in my arms, but now it is too late because I have to drop her soon.

"Don't open your eyes" I whisper before carefully placing her on her two feet before getting up on one knee holding a black antique book with a black backdrop at the back and lights forming will you marry me.

"Open your eyes" her bestie says after I signal the bestie and Ember immediately flicks her eyes open and she gasps in Suprise

"I just wanted us to have our own moment so that I can propose to you in the front of people that mean a lot to you" I explain to her and she flashes her beautiful smile at me.

"So Ember Weston, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I finally pop the question and she looks at my girls to search for answers in their eyes as they nod happily

"Yes I do" She answers

"Woah, she said yes" her girls scream and the hall comes alive with people shouting and cheering.

"If there is something I love about this proposal, I like the way he still sought her consent again to be sure if she wants to go ahead with him On this journey to forever" Mason announces and I see a blush creeping through her cheeks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, join me to invite the two couples to the dance floor for their very first dance" Mason announces and I stretch my hand forward to take her hand in mind.

"What is that green card supposed to mean?" She whispers into My ear after Mason waves the green card he waved earlier and soft music comes on .

"It is more like a go signal" I answer her and She smiles again

Ember and I get to the dance floor face to face to each other for our first dance and we start to sway slowly to the music back and forth for the first two minutes till The beat changes to a faster one and I take the initiative to swirl her around before suddenly dipping her towards the direction of the ground according to the rhythm of the song I expected her to rise as I helped her up,but her body just relaxed as she struggles to keep her eyes open

"Ember" I call out to her as I firmly hold on to her so that she doesn't fall but her eyes finally close as she collapsed in my hands

"Are you okay ?" I ask her trying to speak to her but she doesn't move

"Please open your eyes" I plead but she still doesn't move

"Is everything okay?" Adrian inquires as people starts closing in on us but I shake my head because nothing is okay

"Let's get her to the hospital" he says and I look up to him still a bit confused about what is going on

" I will drive" Adrian adds and my confused mind suddenly process that there is something called an hospital as I quickly pick her up from the ground.

Both Adrian and I dash out of the hall towards the direction of where His car is packed and just as we are about to move, Enbers bestie joins us in the car.

I can see as Adrian is panicking while holding the steering wheel and that makes me recall that we had this same situation three years ago at the Weston triplets nineteen and fabulous party where Embers sister collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

"You've got this man" I mumble as I notice Adrian breathing heavily looking like he was starting to have a panic attack, but his breathing eventually calms down and he gets us to the hospital in one piece.

On getting to the hospital, a stretcher comes over to carry Ember in as we wait for the doctor to tell us what is wrong with her but In no time, the hospital starts to get packed with friends and acquaintances.

I try to stop my mind from wandering to the event from three years ago, but I couldn't just get my mind off it,plus the tension from a lot of people at the hospital that are worried about Embers state of health.

the hospital environment is very tensed right now because the doctors are still yet to say what exactly went wrong with Ember and I am starting to get seriously worried because all this is talking longer than I expect it to.

"For everyone here to see Miss Weston, I am very sorry but I am going to have to ask you to wait in the hospital lobby because we have a lot of tests to carry out on the patient so having so many people here is not the most convenient thing" the nurse that accompanied the doctor out of the hospital ward says and people start to murmur.

"I understand that you all are worried about her,but according to the hospital rules and regulations, only her closest family can stay around the hospital ward right now" the nurse explains.

"My sincere Apologies for the inconvinences" she apologises before leaving the hallway of Embers ward.

The crowd at the hallway starts to disperse and I also obey the nurse by proceeding to the hospital lobby because I feel like the hallway is too congested and the last thing I want right now is anything that will hinder the medical personnel's from doing their work.

I stay in the hospital lobby with Rhea who stayed with me quietly without uttering a single word about the situation whether positive or negative which is a big relief because She can be annoyingly blunt concerning her overall assessment of the whole situation especially when she has a strong dislike for Ember that has probably regenerated into hatred over the years .

I don't feel comfortable with just sitting in the lobby without being able to do anything to help Ember in the state that she is in, but at the moment sitting down and observing is the best I can do because if I don't allow the doctors to do their work, there is no way we are going to find out what is wrong with her.

I lock eyes with Adrian my one time buddy that strongly stood against the news of my engagement with a mixture of emotions in his eyes as he pauses in his tracks before raising his phone to his ear like he just got an important call and he makes a detour from his moms direction towards the door of the hospital instead.

"Didn't you make up with Adrian?" Rhea inquires from noticing the awkward exchange between both Adrian and I sigh

"I thought we were cool" I answer her and she stares at me like she wants to say something.

"I will be right back" Rhea says instead as she walks towards the direction of the door.

Adrian is one of my really close friends, and he was the first person that I drove down to see at his house after finding out about the news of both Ember and I getting engaged, but his reaction was the complete opposite of what I imagined.

To be precise, the first thing he asked when I broke the news to him was if I was drunk, before he went ahead to spew trash out of his mouth like asking if somebody spiked my drink.

I was playing along with everything till he heard that I was getting engaged to Ember Weston and he went poof! on me like a flame.

Adrians countenance changed and he started acting so strange, to the point that he went ahead to say hurtful things to me just because he claimed that he couldn't wrap his head around the whole arranged marriage thing just like Rhea .

"This is not normal, it doesn't even look normal but you are here celebrating your luck for getting together with your "college crush" without having to do as much as lifting a finger to win her over when Ember on the other hand must be having a hard time because this is not what she wants" he expressed and that zoomed me into my valley of outburst.

The only friend that has been supportive of my engagement with Ember from the moment he received the news is Elliot but he is not here right now because he is away on an important business trip.

I could really use a friend right now, but both my friends that are available at the moment are not the same page with me.

Imagine Rhea going ahead to check up on Adrian outside when I whose engagement ended up in an emergency hospital visit is the one that needs to be checked to see if I am doing fine but no, Adrian is selfishly making himself look like the victim as usual .

If anyone told me that someone like Adrian will be opposed to something that makes me happy, I would have argued that Adrian can not be that person because if there is one person I have sticked out for, that person is Adrian.

"Do you want to go and see what is up at Embers hall incase we can milk any info out of any of the nurses or doctors?" Rhea interrupts as she walks up to me after spending quite a while outside with Adrian.

"It is not a bad idea" I agree as I go with her because I really want to know what is up with Ember and why there is no single news from the doctors after waiting for so long .

Rhea and I get to the hallway, but we are not able to get any info about Ember for a while and we both chill only for Rhea to start typing away seriously on her phone making silly expressions with her face when I am here worried about the lack of response from the doctors.

"Everybody has different mentality" I mentally sigh as I try to take my attention away from

her.

"Adrian" Rhea calls out excitedly to him and I sigh because I don't know what he is doing here.

"Do you mind?" He inquires extending the bottle of water to Me.

"Thanks" I mutter in appreciation.

"I know that the other one is for me" Rhea says confidently snatching the other bottle of water from Adrian.

"Are you okay?" He asks me breaking the silence.

"I am very worried about Ember" I answer him honestly.

"She is going to be just fine" he assures me.

"You think so?" I ask him searching for answers in his eyes.

"She was a bit stressed out during the week because of the new project that she is anchoring so she may just need to rest well" he explains and I nod understandingly because Ember informed me about what she had to deal with at work concerning her new project.

"Let's just hope that it is nothing serious" I say in conclusion
