I pulled away, and my blurry vision found her beautiful face. Mia’s tiny hand brushed over my wet cheek, and she smiled. But then the smile faded, and she pinched her eyes together as pain carved into her features.
“Mia, if you’re up for it, we’d like to ask you some questions,” the officer stated.
I dropped my chin into my chest. “No. No more bloody questions.”
Her hand squeezed mine and a misery-filled moan shot up her throat. “Ollie, it hurts.”
My chin hit my shoulder as I looked back at the officers. “You two need to leave.”
The controller for the bed fumbled in my hands before I pressed the button numerous times, ringing the nurse as their heavy boots descended from the room. Scott and Lynch walked outside the door to join them. Their small talk not so small, but the only thing I could focus on was freeing Mia from the pain. “I’m so sorry,” I repeated over and over, wishing I could trade places with her. Wishing I had a way to make the pain disappear. I’d never felt so helpless and useless in my bloody life.
The same nurse returned and shot something into her IV.
“Don’t go,” Mia said to me, her brown eyes sliding between mine.
Shaking my head, I grabbed her hand and sucked in a breath. “I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere.”
Seconds later, she was out.
