Chereads / The Wicked: Storm Michaels Book 1 / Chapter 15 - CHAPTER 14

Chapter 15 - CHAPTER 14

Storm POV:

I walk into the room and I see her laying there, she has a machine breathing for her, they say to help her for now. She has a huge bandage on her head, that must be where she hit it. She has a few cuts and bruises, but atleast my angel is still alive.

I sit on the couch next to her bed, and I take her hand, "please angel don't die, I love you so much we were happy just this morning planning on growing old, fifty more years remember? You and me taking on the world, please come back to me," I speak to her.

I sing her song 'My Love' to her, "you make my heart beat faster, every time I see you I fall in love, my love, my world, my heart, love was just a word till I met you, you broke the ice you made me whole, put my world together, my love."

I just feel my tears fall, I hear sniffing behind me, a hand on my shoulder, it's the Dr Jasmine Siraj. "That was beautiful Mr Michaels."

"How is she?" I ask.

Doctor Siraj answers, "we are monitoring her heart, but it's touch and go, the next twenty four hours are critical, but she's stable for now."

"Can we move her to a more private room? I don't want paparazzi or fans or anyone coming in, I will have security posted." I ask holding my angels hand.

"Sure Mr Michaels we will move her in a few minutes and I will come find you, the police are here to see you about the accident." I nod.

I go see the police officers, "can you tell me what happened?" I ask them still in shock that this even happens.

"Well Mr Michaels, a drunk driver swerved in her lane and hit her car, it rolled a few times and landed on the side of the road, the SUV hit a lamp post and stopped, we are told it's your car?" The officer says and I nod.

"She's my long term girlfriend, we have been living together for a long time, she uses my cars sometimes. I had a meeting and I gave her my keys and she was going to see her friend Oliver," I explain.

"Thank you Mr Michaels, the guy will be prosecuted, it's pretty much open and shut," I nod in acceptance.

I go to the others and I tell them everything, "Oliver, go see her," I say to him, he nods and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I have to call her parent," I say remembering. Jill sits down with me and holds my hand while I tell her father, they will be on the next plane out. I need a smoke "Jill I need some air, call me if something happens," I ask. She agrees.

Ken comes outside with me, it's dark though and nobody can see me. I light up a cigarette, I just need something to distract myself. I have to be strong for her like she was for me. "Ken find a florist and have four red and white rose bouquets sent over to the hospital and some get well soon balloons, make her room cheerful, I don't want her parents thinking we don't care they need to see she's loved," I ask him with my tetra falling.

"Yes sir, I'm so sorry this happened, I feel terrible," Ken confesses.

"it's not your fault," I say to him.

"I will get on it now Sir." he says and goes to make calls.

I go back inside,"Oliver is she ok?"

"Yes, she's stable, they are moving her to a private wing now, room 401." He says.

I give him a hug, his tears are falling, all the band members are here and they are all in tears. "Thank you guys for being here, can someone call her friends Alfonso and his girlfriend Riley, they are quite close to her," I ask remembering them too.

"I'm on it," Jill says.

"Thanks Jill." I walk off to her room, and Oliver and Ken bring the flowers and balloons in. At least if she wakes up she will have something beautiful to look at.

I stay the night, the others left to get some sleep. I feel someone touch me, wake me from my sleep, "angel?"

"No honey it's me," I hear her mother's voice.

"Mrs Richard's." I say happy to see her.

I get up and she hugs me tight. "Call me Jessica."

"Mr Richards," i say and I give him my hand, he pulls me into a hug.

"David please." I nod.

"Storm how is my baby?" Jessica asks worried.

"She is still the same, but she made it through the night, that's good, they said the next twenty four hours are critical, but so far she's holding on," my voice cracks, but I don't cry she hugs me tight. "She's strong Jessica, she can do anything, she will make it through, I know it, she's my world." I say holding her right.

"She's grown up so much since she's moved here, since she's met you, she's always had a will of her own, going after what she wants in her quiet way, she's done so well in school and we saw the performances she has done with you, we used to hear her sing your songs for hours, she always felt some kind of connection to you, she will come back to you." David says.

"Thank you David."

"Go home and have a shower dear, some fresh clothes, eat something and come back, we will be with her and call if anything," Jessica says and I reluctantly agree.

"Ok I won't be long," they nod. I go home as fast as I can, shower and change my clothes, t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, good enough, ponytail, to be respectful, fuck it I don't care, I mean I have tattoos.

I go back to the hospital, "Jessica, David, I know this was really spur of the moment, and I know you probably didn't have time to book a hotel, please stay at our house, it's the least I could do," I say hoping they will accept the offer.

"Oh honey that would be lovely," Jessica says.

"My driver will take you and you can get settled in, our housekeeper Maria will show you to your room," I tell them.

"Storm son, thank you so much for this, we didn't plan anything," David says apologetically.

"It's no problem David," I call Ken and he takes them to the house.

I sit with Emily some more and I doze off, when I wake up I notice she's breathing on her own, they must have taken the tube off. I hold her hand. "Angel, I need you to wake up, you are my whole life, I would be a hollow asshole without you, probably on drugs again and pissing my life away. You make me whole, you are what I've been missing my whole life, you're my other half, please come back to me," I speak to her. I can't help but cry, and another night goes by, her parents come and go, Jill and the others come and go.

"Oliver came by and brought you flowers, your parents are staying at ours," I continue to speak to her. I put my head down and just weep.

"Well you're going to have your hands full taking care of them," I hear her raspy voice.

"Angel! Emily your awake!" I say in disbelief.

"My dark Prince, nothing can keep me from you and you are my other half too." She says softly. I get up and kiss her lips she heard me, she squeezes my hand. I press the call button, the doctor rushes in.

"Miss Richards you're awake, and in record time." Doctor Siraj says smiling.

Emily POV:

I try to sit up, "why does it hurt so much?" I groan.

"Angel, lay back down you have two fractured ribs," Storm says in a panic.

"Well shit, I never expected that," I say with a huff, and he laughs, he looks like he hasn't really been sleeping much.

"Miss Richards let me examine you, you have been out for nearly four days," the doctor informs me.

She checks me over, "my head hurts," I complain.

"You hit it pretty hard Miss Richards," she says and carries on examining me.

"Storm what happened? I was driving to Oli and then it all goes black," I ask confused. He tells me about the drunk driver and the car. "I'm sorry about your SUV," I say feeling bad.

Storm looks at me like I'm insane, "are you kidding me? I don't care about that, I have been worried sick," Storm says.

"It hurts a bit in my chest," I say rubbing the spot.

"Miss Richards we had to put a stent in, you had a blockage near your heart from the impact, it was probably caused by the accident, we done it through your artery in your neck," the doctor informs me.

I look at her dumbstruck, "did I flat line?",

"Well only a moment, well twice and we got you back. I will leave you alone now, I'm sure you two need a moment," she says after that bombshell, I nod.

"I heard you sing to me, I just couldn't open my eyes," he looks shocked, "I hear some things," I say with a small shrug.

"I'm glad you did, I was so afraid, I'm gong to call your parents," Storm is on the phone to them and I look around the room, only he would buy me so much flowers, I see Oliver got me Dahlias, yes my second favourite flower, this is so sweet, I see Jill and the guys got me stuff too.

"Storm, I'm starving," I say, he looks at me full of hope,

"What would you like?" He asks smiling.

"Chicken pasta and a cappuccino," I say drooling. He makes a call, Ken brings us dinner, later my parents arrive.

"Oh honey we are so glad you are awake, we were so worried," My mom says looking like she aged ten years.

"Mom, dad I'm really ok." I state.

"Storm is letting us stay for a little while at your house, I hope that's ok," mom says.

"Of course mom," I answer. They speak to the doctor and stay a little while and leave, "Storm, go home and get some rest, you look really tired my love." I say cz he looks exhausted.

"I will sleep right here, I'm not leaving you." I give him the eyebrow, "ok, but I will be back in the morning." Storm says with a sigh giving in to me.

He gives me a kiss goodbye and I lay back and fall asleep. I wake up early the next morning, like seven, the doctor is in checking on me. "Miss Richards, I think if you feel up to it, you can go home today, you are doing really well, but you will be on medication for your heart, nothing too heavy, and some painkillers." Doctor Siraj says.

"I would love to go home." Storm got me a new iPhone since mine was wrecked. I call Storm, "Angel, is everything ok? I will be right there," he says panicked.

"Calm down lover boy, you can only come to the hospital to take me home," I say joking.

"I will be right there give me twenty minutes, I have to drive your parents too," he sighs.

"Fun times I can hear it." I giggle, and it hurts.

"Yeah I love them but Emily," he starts complaining.

"Oh no I'm Emily now, must be serious," I say, he laughs.

"Yes it's that serious," he jokes.

"Ok come and get me big boy." I say giggling.

My parents, Storm and Oli have come to take me home, I'm a bit tired. Storm carries me in bridal style, till in the bedroom. "I need a shower," I say immediately,he nods.

Storm's eyes go huge, "wait your parents, they are going to know we have sex if I shower or bathe you," he says looking worried.

I look at him and laugh, "you're serious? I'm pretty sure they know, we have been together over two years, they know we are not just holding hands," I say laughing, he blushes. "Storm Lance Michaels, are you actually shy?" I tease him.

"I missed your smart mouth," Storm says, and my mom knocks on the door.

"Honey do you need help having a bath?" She calls.

"No we have it covered mom, but you can make your famous lasagna? Pretty please with a sprinkles on top?" I say softening the blow.

"Of course honey anything you want, Storm let me know when you are done and I will bring up some tea," my mom says.

"Sure Jessica," Storm says and I laugh.

"Don't start," Storm says knowing I'm going to tease him.

"They know you're bathing me," I say teasing him again, he goes blood red and I giggle.

"I even missed you teasing me."Storm says and takes a shower with me. It feels so good, he helps me get dressed very slowly, I put on one of his t-shirts and pyjama pants he puts me to bed and goes down to find my mom.

"Dad you can come in, you have been very quiet," I say seeing him by the door.

"Just looking at Storm with you, it's the real deal honey, he loves you, he never left your side, who thought a hardcore rock star could be so caring and full of heart for one person, and hopelessly in love. Hold onto him honey, he may not be perfect, but he will love you forever, you guys have quite the place here and built a lovely home together, a beautiful life." my dad says being so observant.

"I know dad, I love him so much, I know he's the one, it hasn't been easy, you're right he isn't perfect, but he's perfect for me," I confess.

He kisses my forehead, "rest now my little girl, we can speak later."

Storm appears with chamomile tea, "here you go love," I pull him closer, and I just plant a kiss on him.

"Thank you for loving me," I say stroking his face.

"It's the easiest thing in the world, you're amazing." Storm says kissing me again.

My mom clears her throat, she saw us kiss, "darlings I brought your dinner up, we will dine downstairs, enjoy your food. I will collect your trays once we're all done."

We nod, "thank you mom," I say.

Storm put on a movie and we relax, eat and talk, lasagna, roasted potatoes and oven roasted vegetables, my favourite. I take my meds. "Storm, are you ok with me having all these pills around?" I ask.

"Yeah pills weren't my thing but if I can get through this, then I'm solid, nothing to worry about angel."

"I'm trusting you to not use," I say seriously, he kisses me.

"I'm fine love," he climbs into bed with me, we are both exhausted.

I cuddle up to him, my parents I hear vaguely, "she's in good hands David, they are amazing together."

"I see it Jess, she's really ok and grown up and they have a good life here," and I vaguely hear the door close and we sleep.
