Savor You (Fusion #5)(62)

“How far along are you?” he asks, surprising me. I blink at him for a moment, and he says, “You said you’re pregnant.”

“Oh God, I’m pregnant. Around ten weeks.”

He nods and exchanges a look with the other guy that isn’t encouraging.

“Am I going to lose it?”

“I don’t know, Mia. I’m not a doctor, but I do know that they’ll do everything they can to make sure that you don’t.”

I nod, tears falling down my cheeks now. “Can I call someone?”

“Who?”

“Camden.” I swallow. “I don’t know if they’ll think to call him right away.”

“I’ll call him.” I nod as he finds Camden’s name in my phone and holds it to my ear.

“I was wondering where you are.”

“I don’t want you to freak out.”

“What’s happening?”

“I’m okay.”

“Mia, tell me what’s happening.”

“I’m in an ambulance. I was in an accident, and we’re going to the hospital.” I can’t stop the tears from flowing now. “Will you please meet me there?”

“Oh my God, of course. Which hospital?”

“I don’t know. Which hospital?”

The EMT takes my phone and talks to Camden, giving him the name of the hospital, and how far out we are from there, which isn’t far, and then he presses the phone back to my ear.

“You listen to me, Mia. You’re going to be okay. I’m on my way to meet you. I love you, baby.”

“I l-l-love you too,” I whisper. “I have so much to tell you.”

“You’re going to tell me very soon. You’re so brave, my love. Just hang in there, okay?”

“Okay.”

He’s gone, and I’m left staring at Mr. EMT. “Are we almost there?”

“Yes, ma’am. Just a few more minutes.”

“I’m really sleepy.”

“Mia, we don’t want you to sleep. You have a head injury.”

“I can’t help it.”





Chapter Eighteen





Camden


I hang up the phone and reach for my keys, trying to keep the ball of panic down when Trevor calls.

“Mia’s been in an accident,” I say in greeting.

“I know. I was calling to tell you. We’re all on our way to the hospital. Do you want me to swing by and pick you up?”

“No, I’ll get there faster on my own.” I run down the stairs of the house to my car. “Have you heard what her condition is?”

“Just that she’s stable and being rushed to Emanuel Hospital,” he replies. “We will meet you there.”

He hangs up and I immediately dial Steph’s number.

“Do you miss me already?” she asks when she answers.

“Where are you?”

“Camden? I thought you were . . . never mind. What’s happening?” Her voice is sober now.

“I’m on my way to the hospital. Mia’s been in a car accident.”

“Oh, God. I’m in Olympia. I can be down there in like an hour and a half.”

I take a deep breath. “Okay. I don’t know much now. I spoke with her for a minute when they had her in the ambulance and she sounded scared, out of it. It’s my worst nightmare.”

“I know. I know. I’m on my way. Keep me posted if you find out more.”

I give her the hospital information and then hang up, just as I’m arriving at the hospital. I find the ER, park, and run inside to find that most everyone has beat me here.

Mia’s parents are sitting with Landon and Cami. Riley and Trevor have just walked in ahead of me. Addie, Jake, Kat and a man that I assume is her husband, are sitting nearby.

“Camden.” Addie walks to me and offers me a hug. “She’s here, but no one is allowed to go back with her yet.”

“They’re running scans and such,” Landon says, his face grim. “She’s pretty beat up, but we don’t know how badly she’s beat up quite yet. The lab and the imaging departments are backed up, so they warned us that it could be a couple of hours before we know something.”

“And they won’t let anyone back to at least sit with her?” I ask, the anger setting up root in my belly. “When I spoke to her, she was terrified.”

“She’s unconscious,” Cami replies. Her eyes are red and swollen from crying. “We were told that either when she wakes up, or they have more information, we can go back with her.”

“I fucking hate waiting,” Riley mutters and rubs her hands over her face.

Less than an hour later, Steph comes rushing through the doors, her eyes wide and frantic until she finds me. She hugs me and asks how she is.

“We don’t know,” I reply, rubbing circles on her back. “We haven’t been given an update, but she’s unconscious.”

“She’s going to be okay,” Steph says and looks around the room at all of Mia’s family and friends. “I’m his sister.”

“We assumed so,” Addie says with a smile. She briefly introduces everyone, and then turns back to us. “Did you drive all the way from Seattle?”
