Hazel POV
Elliot moves fast in the room, and I blink a couple of times as I see him putting on his jeans. I sit on the bed, pulling the sheet up to my chin and watching him. I have just woken up, and all these movements is making me a little confused. What the hell is going on? It’s early as I look at the watch, it’s only four in the morning, and Elliot is sprinting like he is late to catch a plane.
“Fuck”, he hisses, and I frown.
“What’s going on?”, I ask, and he walks to me and kisses me lightly before putting on his t-shirt covering his beautiful body. I will never get tired of watching him move, the way his muscles flex and move as he moves to make my entire body react to the sight of him.
“Shit hit the fan, and I have to go. Stay here, don’t go anywhere. It’s not safe”, he says, and I frown again. I hate when he becomes this overprotective person.
“I have school, and I nee
Hazel POV“I am not going to hurt you. I just need to talk to you”, Angel says, and I take a deep breath. I unlock the door and see him holding a gun and scratching his head with it. My eyes go wide, and he smiles, looking at me.“Why did you call him? You know I would never hurt you”, Angel says, and I frown again, trying to come up with a plan. How did he find out where I was and how did he get in here? Where is the security that always stays guarding outside, and how did he find me?Angel has his gun in his hand on the side. I watch as he looks at me, and then he starts pacing around. I watch as he passes his hand over the bed, and I look around, trying to find something I can throw at his head. But I can’t really find anything. Fucking minimalistic decor.“Why are you sharing a bed with him?” Angel asks, but I stay quiet where I am standing. He looks at me with
Elliot POV“I need a drink”, I let out as I flop back down on the chair in Killian’s office, resting my feet on the coffee table in front of me. Theo nods his head while Killian grabs a bottle for us to share. I grab the glass he passes over, and Theo grabs his.“Here”, Killian says, pouring the liquid gold into my glass. I down it straight away and close my eyes heavily as the liquid burns all the way down.“Fucking hell, what the fuck is that?” I ask, looking at the bottle. I have never seen this before, but I can tell you now that it burns like a bitch.“That’s a Brazilian liquor called cachaça”, Killian says, and I scrunch my nose, pouring another portion on my glass and downing it again.“Fuck me sideways,” Theo says, and I can’t help but chuckle at the face he is
Hazel POV“Angel, listen to me”, I say, but all of a sudden, I hear the gun going, and when I turn around, Elliot is on the floor, and Theo is shooting Angel.“Don’t kill him”, I shout before falling to my knees in front of Elliot’s bleeding body. I place my hands on top of the bleeding wound and put pressure on it. “Elliot, baby”, I cry, but no response, his breathing is superficial, and he is getting colder.“Elliot, please, open your eyes”, I cry as I put more pressure on the wound, but I see blood coming out from the back.“Move”, Theo says as he starts dealing with the wound, and I place both my hands on top of my heart which is beating fast, faster than it ever has. I feel like I could collapse at any minute. I feel the tears streaming down my face, and I look back to see Angel passed out on the floor with a bleeding leg. I run to
Hazel POV“Hazel”, I hear someone calling for me. I blink a couple of times, trying to come through. I open my eyes, and the bright light blinds me. I shake my head slowly, opening my eyes again, and I see Theo standing in front of me.“Hey”, he whispers, and I sit up straight. My back hurts, and I look around, and I realise I have fallen asleep in the waiting room. Everyone is still here. Some in groups chatting, Killian is standing next to Ashley, getting some coffee from the coffee machine, and Everly is asleep next to me.“Is he okay?” I ask, rubbing my hands over my face.“He’s okay, stable. Why don’t you go see him? We’ve all been there”, he says, and again I feel the tears threatening to spill. I shake my head as I hold on to his hoodie that I have on.“I can’t”,
Elliot POVI wake up and as soon as I move I flinch. I shut my eyes harder again. Fuck. Slowly I open my eyes to find doctors and nurses around me. What the fuck is going on? The bright lights are blinding me and I groan in pain.I try to speak but there’s something on the way. I open my eyes and I start looking around and when they notice I am awake a nurse places a hand on my shoulder. “Mr O’More, please don’t try to speak”, she says and I look around. Only moving my eyes as my entire body hurts, I feel like I have fucking run over a fucking train. What the fuck?All of a sudden all the memories come back to me. Hazel, Angel, the way she was talking to him and touching him. How she chose him and I put my gun down, how he smirked and shot me. The bastard. The doctors tells me to calm down and moves the tube away from my throat and when it’s off I cough a couple of times and I e
Hazel POV“Hazel, sweetheart, you need to eat something”, Everly says as she sits on the edge of the bed. I close my eyes harder and pull the cover to cover my head. I haven’t been able to eat or get out of bed in the last couple of days. I have been blaming myself so much that I feel like my entire body is shutting down, doing me the favour of making me stop thinking.I turn around, facing the other way and take a deep breath. I haven’t been able to get out of bed, and I think I am getting depressed, and I can’t even make my brain function.“Come on, Hazel, and you need to get up. Elliot wants to see you”, I hear her say, but I can’t see him. I really can’t I need to stay away from him. All I do is cause trouble, and I hurt people along the way. I can’t do that to him, not anymore. I sit on the bed looking at Everly, and she smiles as she holds a bed tra
Hazel POV “I know you don’t like me, and I don’t particularly like you either, and I know you think it is my fault that Elliot is in the hospital, and we both can agree on that because I think the same way. I can’t do this anymore, I can’t have him getting hurt because of me, and this war could get him killed, so I need you to get me out of this deal. I will keep giving you information, but I need you to cut me out”, I say, and Killian looks at me, moving his hand up and down his beard. Theo shakes his head next to me, and as Killian is about to reply, the door bursts open. Elliot walks into the room with the help of Everly and a cane. His eyes meet mine, and I drop them to the floor as Everly smiles proudly at Theo. Theo stands up and goes help Elliot, shakes him off and sits next to me. “Hazel, look at me”, he says, and I shake my head as I fiddle with my fingers playing with the engagement ring on my finger.
Hazel POV “Come on, what are you waiting for?”, Everly asks, and I smile as I look at myself in the mirror before I open the door. I am wearing a red fitted dress with a sweetheart neckline that fits me perfectly, hugging all my curves. It rests just above my knees, and I am wearing high heels and black shoes. I smile as I kind of like how I am looking. My make-up is soft, and I have bright red lipstick. I open the door, and both the girls smile as they watch me get out of the dressing room. “WOW”, Ashley says right before she whistles. I smile, and I give a couple of spins as they look at me, clapping. “You look stunning,” Everly says, and I smile. “Thanks”, I say, and they both smile, passing me a glass of champagne. I smile as I take a sip of the glass. Everly raises her glass and smiles. “A toast to this amazing woman that managed to conquer the heart of the most trustworthy man I have ever met”, sh
