I takea deep breath and inhale Raze’s scent from his hoodie. It smells like mahogany, jasmine, and musk, and has a bit of a calming effect on me. Wearing his hoodie will be like having him in there with me.I got this, I tell myself. I walk into Jager’s room and close the door behind me.
It’s quiet except for the beeping of all the machines he’s hooked up to. I walk over to the chair next to his bed. Tears start pooling in my eyes. He doesn’t even look like himself. His cheeks are sunken in, he looks so frail. I sit down in the chair and hold his hand.
“Hi, Jager.” I don’t even know if he can hear me or not, but I don’t care. I blink and the tears start falling. “I came home and I plan on staying for good. I missed you so much. I’m sorry I didn’t come home sooner,” I say between sobs. “I need you to wake up. I need you to make it through this. For the club. For Pops. For me. I need my big brother. I need you here with me, Jager.”
I lay my forehead to his arm and cry. I’m not sure how long I sit and cry for. After a while, I hear a light tap on the door and I lift my head up. My eyes hurt from all the crying.
“Kitty, the nurse needs to come in and check on Jager,” he says, coming up behind me and placing a hand on my shoulder. I sniffle, place a kiss on Jager’s hand and stand to get out of the nurse’s way. Raze puts his arm around my shoulders. I watch as the nurse starts checking Jager’s vitals.
“Do you want to stay longer or are you ready to leave?” he asks softly, right next to my ear. “We’ve been here for a little over an hour now.”
I think it over for a minute. I don’t really want to leave him, but I also want to get out of this hospital. My eyes burn from crying. I’m sure they’re pretty puffy too. Maybe it’ll be a good idea to go home.
“We can go. I’ll come back tomorrow,” I tell him. I look at Jager one last time before I let Raze lead me out of the room. Saint is here with the other guy, who I now see is a prospect, who was here when we got here.
“Do you think you’re okay to drive?” Raze asks me.
“Yeah, I should be fine,” I tell him, stepping out of his hold. He nods, then looks to the guys.
