I turn away from the sight, into Grey's chest and sob harder than I thought possible.
"We got him back," Jai rushes out as sirens begin to come closer. Relief floods my chest and I begin to calm even though I know this whole thing isn't over yet.
He was dead.
"It's okay, Lilah," Grey's hands rub up and down my back as he tries his best to comfort me.

I pace back and forth in the waiting room. Two hours and twelve minutes we've been here and we haven't heard a single thing. Grey leans up against the white wall beside me, watching as I pace back and forth.
"I'mscared,Sugar, I'msoscared," I feel my voice start to crack near the end. The guys went down to the Subway across the street to get food because the food here is just not okay. Abby's at work but she's coming as soon as she gets off.
"Come here," he opens his arms and I walk into them.
He tilts my chin up to him and with his thumbs, he wipes away the two little tears under my eyes.
"It's going to be okay," he tucks my hair behind my ears, pressing a kiss to my forehead. I take a deep breath to calm myself.
"Want to kiss mine too?" he questions and a little smile grows on my lips. I give him a nod and he bends down letting me kiss his forehead too.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me," I tell him honestly, laying my head onto his chest. I feel him intake a breath and his heart speeds up a bit.
"Youjust made my heart speed up and made my dick tingle all at once."
I shake my head at his brutal honesty.
"Miss Carson?" A woman dressed in scrubs calls out and Grey and I both turn to her.
"If y'all would follow me," she offers a smile and we follow her. She leads us into an isolated waiting room that looks like it's only made for a couple of people, not a big one like we were just in.
"A doctor will be with you in just a minute," she closes the door behind her and Grey and I are left alone with each other.
I grow even more worried but also more anxious. The last news I heard was good news, he was alive. I hope this news is as good.
We wait for a while. Why is there so much waiting?
"Let's play a game," I speak up, turning my body more towards Grey. He turns off his phone and looks at me.
"We say anything that comes to mind. But we can't repeat what the other person said and it has to be a real thing," I explain and he nods.
"Dingleberries," I start off.
"Azalea," he smirks.
"Mustaches," I continue.
"Azaleas," he tilts his head.
"Tennis shoes."
"Your ass."
"Ribbon."
"Your boobs."
"Perfume."
