Naomi's POV
...
I was standing in front of Alex while Noah and Anna stared at me in shock. We didn't know what to say. It was silent for what felt like forever. I turned around so I was facing him.
Naomi: "Why did you come back?"
Alex: "I needed to talk to you."
Naomi: "Well then....let's talk."
I was about to walk out the door.
Noah: "I will come with you."
Naomi: "Noah, I will be fine."
I understand that he didn't want to lose me again but Alex needed to talk to me privately. I walked outside and Alex followed me.
Anna's POV
.....
I was shocked when Naomi stood up for Alex. I smiled but tried to hide it. I am not happy about Alex kidnapping her. But I am happy that she is happy. Naomi walked outside and Alex followed her. They began to talk. I wonder what they were talking about? Alex held Naomi's hands in his and I could see Noah get angry. He was about to walk outside but I stopped him.
Anna: "Noah, let them talk."
He calmed down when I touched him. He looked at me and I hugged him.
Noah: "I just can't lose her again...."
Anna: "It will be okay. I don't know what got into Alex but I can see he has feelings for her."
Noah: "How do you know that?"
Anna: "Well you can see it by the way he looks at her and he didn't hurt her at all. He kept her safe and took care of her. I know this is not an excuse for him but he has been really lonely. I knew something was wrong because he stopped visiting and answering my calls."
Noah didn't answer. I knew that it would take a lot of convincing for them to be together. But I was going to let Naomi do that.
Naomi's POV
.....
Naomi: "So what do you need to talk to me about?"
Alex: "I wanted to apologize for yelling at you. I should have never kidnapped you. I am so sorry."
He put his hands in mine.
Naomi: "Alex-
Alex: Naomi! Watch out!"
He pushed me on to the ground and I heard a gunshot. I looked where the sound came from. There was a man in all black pointing a gun. Noah Immediately ran out and shot the guy in the chest. Noah helped me up.
Noah: "Naomi! Are you okay?"
I nodded and looked at Alex. He was laying on the green grass with a puddle of blood trickling down from is stomach.
Naomi: "Alex!"
I ran towards him. I kneeled down and looked at his stomach. I gently put my hand where he was shot. I looked at my hand that was covered in blood. I began to shake and tears were falling from my eyes. Noah called 911 while Anna got a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. I helped Alex take is shirt off and Anna wrapped the tourniquet around his wound then wrapped a bandage around to keep it in place. Anna went to help Noah while I stayed with Alex. He was looking at me. He placed his hand on my cheek and wiped my tears.
Alex: "Don't cry."
It made me cry even more after he said that. I could hear the ambulance coming close to us. Finally they arrived at the house. I was still holding Alex's hand when they put him on a stretcher. They placed him on the bed in the ambulance. I sat right next to him and didn't take my eyes off him. I notice he was trying to keep his eyes open.
Alex: "Naomi?"
Naomi: "Yes?"
Alex: "If I don't make it-"
Naomi: "Alex you will be okay. You will make it."
Alex: "But if I don't...."
He was struggling to talk now. His eyes could barely stay open.
Alex: "Just know that I-I love you."
And he fell unconscious. I smiled but when I realized he lost conscious I began to cry again.
Naomi: "No! No! Alex! Please! Don't leave me!
When he didn't answer I began to sob.
Naomi: "Say something, I am g-giving up on you. I know nothing at all. I'm still learning to love. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you. You're the one that I love. And I'm saying g-goodbye...."
I was breaking down inside. I was sobbing now.
Naomi: "Please God, please don't take him away from me! Please!"
I was still holding his hand when we got to the hospital. I held his hand when they rushed him through the emergency room. The nurse said they have to do emergency surgery. I was waiting in the waiting room for what felt like hours. Noah an Anna arrived and we sat in silence. Anna held my hand.
Anna: "Naomi, he is going to be fine."
When I didn't answer she just hugged me. Noah was silent for the rest of the wait. I thought of how I should tell him about Alex and I. He will probably get mad..... On the other hand, what was going on with him and Anna? They have been super friendly with each other from what I have seen.
While I was deep in my thoughts when the nurse came up to us. I instantly stood up and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Nurse: "He lost a lot of blood and went under cardiac arrest..."
Naomi: "...."
I looked down. I was about to cry when she broke the silence.
Nurse: "But, the surgery was successful and he is okay."
I looked at her. I was so happy. I asked if I could see him and she said yes. I went to his room while Noah and Anna stayed. I was now running through the crowds of people only thinking of Alex. I finally got to his room and looked through the glass. He was staring out the window. I walked in but he didn't hear me. I walked up just before his bed and looked out the window.
Naomi: "Sure is a beautiful day outside."
He was startled at first but smiled. I walked over to him and hugged him. I sighed with relief.
Naomi: "I am so glad you are okay."
I came out of the hug and grabbed a chair to sit next to him. I was pretty close to him. I looked up and he was staring at me.
Naomi: "What?"
He pulled me closer and kissed me.
