Once again, mahalo everyone for reading this and encouraging me! You don't know how much I appreciate you.
Thankfully, when Steve got to shore, they were there. They had a stretcher ready for Kono and an ambulance ready to pull away. As soon as Steve touched the shore, they swarmed his little boat like a nest of bees, loading Kono onto the stretcher, and putting the stretcher into the ambulance.
Steve attempted to follow them into the ambulance. "Only family members allowed," a paramedic said sternly.
Steve gaped at him. He had just saved Kono's life and he wasn't allowed to ride with her? He was not going to stand for that. "Five-0," said Steve shortly, showing the man his badge and pushing past him.
"Sir, please, we need space to work. We're trying to save this woman's life here," said the paramedic. "I don't care who you are."
Sighing, Steve stepped out of the ambulance. He would stay and cause a scene, but Kono's life was slipping away as he spoke. It just wasn't worth it. "Fine. I'll drive myself."
He hopped into his truck and followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital. The whole way he thought about Kono. All the times he had fantasized about them being together and now that could be ruined because he didn't say anything.
He arrived at the hospital and rushed over to where Kono was being unloaded. "Sir, please get out of the way," said a paramedic.
"I'm her boyfriend," said Steve in a panic, hoping he could go through if he lied.
The paramedic sighed and sized him up. "Fine. But stay out of the way."
Yes! It had worked. Steve just hoped that nobody would mention to Kono how her boyfriend had accompanied her.
He held Kono's hand as the paramedics worked on her inside of the ambulance. He was so worried that she wouldn't make it.
Soon, they had reached the hospital and Kono was transported out of the ambulance and into the ER, Steve running after them.
K. Kinda a weird ending. I just didn't know what to write... Oh well. Short chapter too... I'm sorry! But another chapter is coming soon-ish..
