This chapter is dedicated to my good friend D.C. Resting easy since 12/13

Daxton's POV

I watched in horror as they doctors rushed her down the hallway. I wasn't far behind them. My legs moving faster than my body, which I couldn't even feel. my vision blurring from the tears.

"I'm sorry sir but you have to stay here until we get her stabilized." A nurse quickly informed me.

I pulled out my badge and showed her it.

"Stay in the far right corner please." She said while moving to the side and signaling that I had the right to go into the room.

I paced back and forth in the corner of the room.

"It's all my fault." "I failed her and myself." "I've lost her." I kept saying to myself. Still waiting for her heart to beat again.

"We're back on guys!" The doctor yelled after hearing the monitor beep and a consistent rate.

"Thank you God..." I whispered to myself.

After a couple of hours of watching them hook her up to different machines and adjusting a breathing mask the nurse that checked my badge approached me.

"Do you want me to pull a bed in here for you so you can stay with your girlfriend tonight?" She asked.

"She's not my girlfriend but yes please." I spoke up with a very shaky voice.

"Sister?" She wondered, I shook my head no again. "Cousin?"

"Just a friend."

"Doesn't seem like she's just a friend. Seeing your reaction earlier when we thought we lost her is the same reaction that only married couples or families give. We call it the true love reaction, as cliche as that sounds." The nurse said while checking Maverly's heart rate and writing it on a piece of paper.

"I wish." I murmured to myself not taking my eyes off of Maverly's pale body.

"Okay well just press the button if you need us, i'll be back in a couple hours to check on her." The very insightful nurse stated as she put antibacterial soap throughout her hands and walked out.

After watching Maverly's chest rise up and down about 50 times I drifted off to sleep but was soon interrupted when I felt a small cold hand rub my hand.

I looked up to see her staring at me with tears in her eyes. I jumped up and gave her a gentle yet tight hug.

"How are you um, feeling?" I nervously asked.

"I'm fine Daxton."

"No you're not Mave, tell me the honest truth. I want you to tell me every single spot on your body that hurts and every part of your feelings that hurt. You've been through a lot and I want you to talk it out and not hold anything back. We're not doing this whole "i'm fine" shit anymore." I stated, putting the hair that was in her face behind her ears.

"I have a headache, i'm tired, confused, scared and my whole body aches." She quickly answered back, so quickly that it sounded like she didn't want to hold back anymore.

"What about you?"

"I'm good, i'm tired too but i'm good. They have your medications ready to go, we just need to pick them up from the front office on our way to the car. But we do need to talk about something that happened yesterday." I confronted her.

"What makes you feel the need to try and take your own life?"

"I've been through hell, you know that Daxton. It just seemed easier and quicker. Every time something seems to be going decent something bad happens. I can't take it anymore Dax. I just can't. I'm so sorry though. I swear I won't do it again."

"Just because you've gone through hell doesn't mean your should take your own life. You are worth so much more Maverly. Don't ever feel like it's the easier way. The longer you keep up with the battle the better the reward will be. I'm always here for you Mave, even after all of this is over i'll still be here for you 24/7. Don't you forget that." I spoke as I moved closer to her and put my hand around the back of her neck and my other hand on her cheek.

"I love you too Maverly." I whispered closing the gap between our faces. I could feel tears running down her face. This is when I officially knew that I was, for the first time, in love.

I'm in love with Maverly.
