Rubies In The Night Sky

Chapter 48

Liam's POV:

We all rushed back into the utopia.

We rushed Lexi and Josh to the utopia's hospital.

They were both losing so much blood.

I just stood there, unable to do anything.

I truly felt helpless.

"Liam?"

I jumped at the voice and I didn't turn around. I knew who it was and I couldn't face her the way I am now.

"Liam, please."

I turned around and grew guilty.

Belle will end up being the only DeFleur left if Lexi dies.

"Where's Auntie Lexi?"

I felt tears immediately fall from my eyes and I was choking on my sobs.

"And Josh?"

Belle's voice trembled.

I couldn't hold back anymore.

I ran outside the hospital and screamed.

I let out all my frustrations and cried some more.

I couldn't do anything. But cry. Like the worthless bastard I am.

***

I calmed down after four hours.

Lexi and Josh were still in the hospital. They were going through surgery at this very moment.

I sat in the waiting room quietly. I felt so empty. I felt grey. I felt like my heart was ripped from my body.

Everyone was quiet.

All had glum faces.

I felt like dying.

The rascals were at home.

When they found out everyone was home, they rejoiced.

But when they were told that Lexi and Josh were wounded and in the hospital, they tried to run to the hospital.

Only Belle was able to run to the hospital.

Carson brought her back to Gwen's house.

The surgery went on.

***

The doctor walked into the waiting room.

We all looked up. Any good news would do.

"Please be good news," Olive cried out.

Danny wrapped his arm around Olive and brought her close.

I sadly grew jealous because I kept thinking that Lexi wasn't going to make it.

"The surgery was a success. The wounds are all stitched up."

We all sighed in relief.

"But....."

No fucking way.

"Because of their immense battles between people of their rank, they lost a lot of blood. We can easily put more blood in their system."

Kite spoke up. "But what's the bad news?"

The doctor sighed. "The blood loss caused them to be in a deep sleep. They are both in a comatose state."

Comatose state.

Coma.

They are both in a coma.

"When will they wake up?" I heard from Justin.

"That's the really bad news. We don't know."

I collapse on the floor.

I can't do this.

I lost five years of Lexi. I can't lose her forever.

Kite is trying to pick me up and Chelsea is trying to talk some sense into me.

I block them out and let the darkness take me.

Josh's POV:

Mama.

We avenged your death.

We avenged everyone that Maverick or the Sins Soldiers killed.

I was able to keep Bonnie safe.

Bonnie.

You may not remember anything, but damn. I love you anyway.

Always had, always will.

Hannah.

Build a happy future.

I was in this room in my head.

I was sitting in the middle of the room, just looking at an old family photo.

It was when Bonnie was born. My father was holding Baby Bonnie, my mother was caressing her head, and I was holding her fingers.

I chuckled.

This is fucked up.

I just continue to look at that picture. It recalled me of a better time in my life.

Lexi's POV:

I'm not in my dreamland.

I'm floating in a world of nothingness.

Am I dead?

Or am I still alive?

I can't tell.

Is this what death is like?

Is this purgatory?

Many questions circled my mind.

I remember all that happened in the fight between me and Maverick.

Our last round.

This is it.

I won't miss.

I will end it here.

We charged at each other with lightning speed.

"I'M the one that killed your family."

My eyes widened and instantly, I made my sword plunge through his side.

Once I landed on his side, my tears unleashed themselves.

After few seconds, I heard him fall.

My family was avenged. Johnny was avenged. Our soldiers are avenged. Everyone that died in the hands of Maverick or the Sins Soldiers were avenged.

We stood victorious.

Until I felt my skin split open.

Now I'm here. In the world of nothingness.

Slowly, I feel my thoughts exit my mind and I suddenly feel nothing.
