Thomas had to be wrong. How could Alejandro be in a coma? No, I refused to believe it, even though I headed there. He’s- Alejandro. Strong-willed. Stubborn. He is capable of defying all odds. How- the shock of the news had been compounded by the fact that no one from his family had thought to inform me.
Am I nothing to them? I thought we were growing a bond.
The ICU, finally in sight, my breath catching in her throat as I spotted Gabby standing outside what I automatically knew was his room. The sight of her was like a bad trip for my stomach. Thomas’ haunting words telling me he’d been stabbed and his kidney was damaged comes into play in my mind. It’s reality.
