《Beyond The Walls | ✔》Ch 49: Adrenaline

"Like hell I'm having my wedding without him," Emily scoffed to which Noah chuckled and William just shook his head.
"No one suggested that, Cupcake," Noah rolled his eyes, still smiling at her.
"I know! But just so you guys know that even if you think of planning a wedding when he's still in coma, I'm kicking everyone's ass."
"I see the mood swings are coming through real good," Alex entered the room with coffee in his hands and all of us tried not to break into fits of laughter.
Even after giving birth, Emily still had severe mood swings because of all the hormonal changes her body was going through and suffice to say Alex had no filter whatsoever.
"You guys are crazy!" she exclaimed, huffing and standing up before making her way upstairs towards the kids room.
"Baby, come onnnn," Noah said and stood up as he followed her like a lost puppy and Alex and I just exchanged glances trying not to roll on the floor laughing.
"Stop being a jerk!" I pinched Alex's arm as he sat beside me.
"Ow! That hurt," he rubbed his arm and I just shook my head at him.
"So how's work going, Isabelle?" William asked, changing the subject.
"Well a lot of it is still new to me but safe to say I'm hanging on pretty well so far," I shrugged and he nodded his head taking a sip of his tea.
Two weeks more had passed since the babies were born and there was still no change in Ace's condition.
Sometimes it really hurt when all of us were sitting together and he wasn't there. It hurt every single morning when I go to his office and I don't find him there.

Alex told me to shift to Ace's office but I refused. It just was too much for me at the moment and while my nights and weekends were spent thinking about him and only him, I didn't want him to occupy my mind even while working.
"Hey you coming to the hospital?" I asked Alex as I picked up my bag from the couch and made my way towards the front door.
"Nah I think I'll pass, I sorta have a date tonight..." he scratched his neck and said, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh, my god. When did Alexander Kingston start dating?!" I said in a dramatic tone and he rolled his eyes.
"Shut up, it's just another random girl," he reasoned.
"Oh really? That blush on your cheek says otherwise," I winked and I knew this was my cue to run because Alex instantly looked up from the floor towards me.
"You just get back here, Isabelle!" he screamed as I ran out and made my way towards the subway.
Although Alex had offered me a car from office's side, I refused to take it because, a) I still had a little phobia so I couldn't drive properly, b) I liked taking the subway. It gave me time to appreciate those little things that a lot of us missed sometimes.
**************
"Hey look I'm back..." I sat down on the seat beside his bed and intertwined our fingers together.
"So apparently Alex is getting his shit together because guess what? He's taking some girl out on a date. I mean isn't it amazing that he's thinking about anything besides one night stands!" I said excitedly.
You would think that I had gotten used to not getting a response out of him but I hadn't. It still hurt so much when I'd tell him something and he wouldn't reply.

I talked to him for a while more, rambling about stupid stuff and just trying to keep the one sided conversation alive.
"Now you can't say I didn't fill you in about everything that has been happening around. I mean Kanye West running for president? I don't even know anymore." I shook my head like he was looking at me.
"I guess...I'll just get going now.." I trailed, sadness visible in my voice but it was getting late and I had office tomorrow.
Once again, I felt his fingers tighten around mine. I didn't know if I just kept imagining it but it did feel like he was trying to keep me from leaving, like he wanted me to stay. But the movement was so light that I wasn't sure if I just imagined it or if it happened for real.
"Come back to me Ace...I miss you so much," I kissed his forehead and with that turned on my heels before making my way out of the hospital.
***************
I snuggled further into the pillow as I heard my phone ring. I knew it was pretty late and whoever was calling me right now must have something damn important to say, plus with the past experiences, I knew better than to ignore this so I rubbed my eyes while looking for my phone.
When I saw the screen flashing I picked it up immediately.
"Hello?"
I heard as the other person talk and before I knew I was standing on my feet running towards the closet.
"I'll be right there," I said into the phone and cut the call.
My heart was beating so fast, it seemed as if it were just going to jump out of my mouth. I could feel the blood rushing to my head, making my body warm and heat was radiating off me as I put the pants on and rushed outside.
I didn't care if it was three in the morning and I was wearing a tee shirt with iron man on it. All I knew was that I had to get there as soon as I could.
****************
"Room 47," the receptionist said and I didn't even bother to thank her as I flew towards the elevator. I could feel the rush of adrenaline surging through my veins.
I stepped out and saw Alex pacing back and forth in the corridor. I ran over to him with my hair all over the place as he lifted his eyes up to me and breathed a heavy sigh.
"Can I see him?" I said as soon as I reached him.
"Yeah but the doctors said-" I didn't bother hearing the rest as I practically flew towards the door that was on a few feet distance and threw it open.
All the doctors and nurses in the room brought their eyes to me and I could see them taking my appreance in from head to toe but I didn't care. I didn't care because there he was. Sitting right in front of me on the bed, was Ace.
***************

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
