Chapter 9- Waiting

"WHAT!!!!" Me and Mitchie yelled at the same time, mine coming out a bit muffled because of the bloody paper towel that was now laying on the floor between my feet. "Are you sure it was him?" I asked not believing the name that had just left her mouth.

"Well I wouldn't have been…but he came to check on me and then called for the ambulance" She answered before motioning for Mitchie to give her a drink of water from the cup sitting next to her bed. She took a little sip before leaning back against the pillows. "It was Nate…I'm 100% sure" She finished with a little grimace as she tried to reposition herself slightly.

"Was there anyone else there…someone else that could have been driving?" Mitchie asked as she glanced over her shoulder at me, conveying with her eyes that she too couldn't believe this.

"Not that I saw…but I blacked out right after that…so I'm not sure…there could have been" She replied while shaking her head slightly and then laid down on the pillow closing her eyes. "I'm tired again" She mumbled sleepily at us before she stopped talking altogether. I clenched my eyes shut tightly and shook my head…I just couldn't believe that Nate would do something like this.

"I'm gonna kill him" I heard Mitchie say in a venomous tone making my eyes pop open to see her heading towards the door. My eyes widened slightly and I quickly jumped in front of her and grabbed her arms to stop her.

"Mitch…baby….c'mon, don't do anything stupid" I said earning a little glare from her as she just stared at me. "Let me go talk to him okay….your sister needs you" I finished hearing her sigh in frustration before finally nodding her head at me.

"Fine…I guess I should call my parents and let them know that she woke up" She groaned out making me sigh in relief as I released my grip on her arms. "Will you kill him if he did it though?" She asked me seriously making me laugh a little as I wrapped my arms around her body and pulled her into a hug.

"Well…I'll definitely hurt him…okay?" I replied as she pouted her lips out at me slightly. I shook my head at her before leaning down and capturing her lips with mine lightly. Mitchie moaned quietly against my lips and pushed up on her tippy toes while slipping her tongue past my lips. I let out a little moan and brushed my tongue up against hers before quickly pulling away from her lips.

"Sorry" She whispered out in a husky voice as I pulled back. "All that adrenaline made me a little horny" She finished with a sexy smirk making a shot of tingles shoot through my body at her words.

"Ugh…I gotta go…now" I groaned as Mitchie pushed her body up against mine with a little giggle. The butterflies in my stomach started churning madly as it did a little flip flop.

"Love you" She whispered against my lips lightly before pecking them and then pulling her body away from mine completely. I watched her as she pulled her phone from her pocket and started dialing a number. I took a deep breath to get my body under control before taking a step backwards towards the door.

"Love you too…tease" I replied with a little smirk as I pulled the door open and slipped out hearing Mitchie giggle as I left.

________________________________________________________________________

"Nate…Open the damn door!!" I screamed at the closed door in front of me while pounding loudly for the fifth time. I groaned in frustration, as I still got no response before reaching down to jiggle the knob, to my surprise, the door was unlocked and it swung open in front of me. I glanced around the living room noticing a curled up form on the floor as the strong smell of alcohol invaded my senses.

I would recognize that overly primped asshole anywhere as I walked over and kicked him in the stomach with a little force. I heard him groan in pain as he rolled over and spotted me glaring down at him. His eyes widened slightly in fear before he scooted as far away from me as possible.

"I apologized…What more do you want?" He asked in a panicky voice making me grin. I narrowed my eyes at him slightly letting the grin slip off my face as I remembered why I was here.

"Where's your brother?" I asked coldly as I glanced around the room and then back to Shane with an expectant look. I saw him visibly sigh in relief that I wasn't there for him as he pointed towards the stairs.

"First door on the right" He answered as he rubbed at his stomach where I had kicked him. I glared at him one last time before turning around and stomping up the stairs towards the other Grey. I came to the door in question and pushed it open without even knocking this time, walking into the room to see a curly mess of hair poking out from under the blanket.

"Nate…Get your ass up now!!!" I screamed as I walked over and whacked him over the back of the head. I heard a few mumbled profanities before he finally rolled his head to the side and glared at me. I saw his eyes widen slightly when he realized that it was in fact me standing beside his bed.

"Uh…h-hey…What are you…uh…doing here?" He stuttered out nervously as he started glancing around the room to avoid the unwavering stare I had on him. I narrowed my eyes slightly at his stupid question before responding.

"I'm here because my girlfriend's sister is in ICU…and I want you to explain why she is claiming, that you are the reason she is there" I responded in a loud voice seeing him wince slightly before sitting up in the bed to face me. I watched him scratch his head nervously as he cleared his throat.

"It was an accident" He finally said after a few more seconds of deafening silence. "It's a really long story" He finished with a sigh as he finally brought his eyes up to meet mine. I quirked my eyebrow up at him before sitting down on the end of the bed and pinning him with an expectant look.

"I've got all the time in the world…start talking" I replied seeing him nod his head slowly in response. When he remained silent for a few more seconds, I rolled my eyes before reaching out and slapping him upside the head again to get him to talk.

"Shane was pissed about the whole apology thing…he wanted me to go out drinking with him" He started out slowly while rubbing the side of his head where I hit him with a little pout. "I decided I better go…just to keep an eye on him you know?" He continued making me nod my head at him.

"Dallas was there…she came over to talk to us…and she told us about you planning on proposing to Mitchie" He said glancing up at me slightly with a look that I couldn't quite read in his eyes. "So…I started drinking too" He finished with a little grimace as my eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

"Why would you start drinking because of that?" I asked with the confusion evident in my voice. He looked up at me with an 'are you serious?' look, but that only confused me more.

"I've never tried to hide the way I felt about you" He answered my questioning stare that widened slightly at his words as I opened my mouth to protest. "I never supported you and Mitchie…I only supported you…and secretly hoped that you guys wouldn't work out" He finished with a sad smile as he cut me off from what I was about to say.

"But…you were always trying to get us together" I whispered shaking my head slightly as I couldn't quite believe what he was telling me. Nate Grey had feelings for me?…What the hell?

"Only because I saw how happy you were with her….I just wanted you to be happy" He replied making me feel a little bad for the guy before remembering why I was there in the first place. I sighed in frustration before saying what was on my mind.

"Well I'm not happy right now…tell me what happened with Dallas" I said snapping out of feeling bad for him and going straight back to being pissed about the situation.

"We left right before Dallas…I decided to drive because Shane couldn't even stand up" He continued on with the story as if he had never been interrupted. "About halfway home Shane started yelling about how he left his wallet at the bar…so I turned around and we headed back the other way" He said taking a deep breath at this point and I knew that he was about to say what had happened.

"Shane started complaining about my driving and said that he wanted to drive…when I told him no he got pissed and grabbed the wheel" He continued while burying his face in his hands. "I tried to hit the brakes…I really did…but the next thing I know there is a flash of bright lights and then a really loud crash…It all happened so fast" He said, the stress in his voice obvious as he talked about what had happened.

"I went to check on her…but I had been drinking and driving Mikayla…I panicked" He continued with his voice cracking as I saw tears starting to drip from his hands that were covering his eyes. I sighed loudly as I placed my hand on his shoulder. A part of me was mad at him, but another was telling me that it wasn't really his fault…I didn't know what to do.

"Shane" I grumbled as I shook my head and clenched my eyes shut. "This is Shane's fault…yet again" I continued with a sigh as I pushed myself into a standing position and looked down at Nate. "I don't blame you for what happened…but you shouldn't run from it either" I finished as I patted him on the shoulder and then walked out the door and down the stairs.

I noticed the same body as I had when I entered the house was back to the same position as I descended the stairs. I could feel the anger course through my veins from just looking at the asshole as I stepped off the last step and stood next to his body. I felt a little smirk form over my features as I pulled my leg back and ripped a kick so hard into his side that I swore I could hear his ribs crack before turning and walking out the door to the sound of his muffled cries.

I pushed my wet hair back out of my face as I slammed the car door behind me and headed towards the hospital. As I turned and glanced at the doors, I felt a groan slip through my lips; paparazzi were everywhere. How did I miss them before? Maybe I should have waited until four o'clock in the morning to come back too. I thought to myself as I neared them and started pushing my way through the crowd to get through the doors.

"Mikayla, Can you tell us anything about what happened to Dallas Torres?" I heard one yell at me as I lowered my head and pushed a little harder past them. I sighed in frustration as they continued to bump into me and yell questions before finally pushing past them and passing through the doors. I slipped into the open elevator off to the right and pressed the button for the fifth floor, closing the door on all the flashes.

My eyebrows scrunched together in confusion as I entered Dallas's room to find Mitchie and Dallas both soundly asleep. I felt a grin slip onto my face as I walked over and looked down at Mitchie, who was currently curled up in the chair with her hair covering half of her face. I crouched down next to the chair and pushed her hair back feeling my breath catch in my throat at her beauty.

"Mitch…baby" I whispered seeing her stir slightly as I leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. I watched her eyes open slowly giving me a glimpse of her gorgeous brown eyes before she blinked and then let a smile come over her features. "Where are you parents?" I asked as she rubbed at her eyes tiredly and then pushed herself up in the chair.

"They went to get some food" She answered followed quickly by a yawn that she tried to stifle with her hand. I shook my head at her lightly before leaning forward and pecking her on the lips. "Did you find out what happened?" She asked as I pulled back and pushed my hands underneath her body before lifting her and sitting myself down on the chair with her in my lap.

"I did…and I'll tell you all about it later" I answered her as I wrapped my arms around her waist and buried my face in her hair. I breathed in her familiar vanilla scent that I had missed the last few hours. "I only wanna do one thing right now" I finished as I laced our fingers together over her stomach and kissed the crook of her neck lightly.

"Mmmm…What's that?" Mitchie moaned out quietly as she leaned her head back to rest on my shoulder. I tightened my arms around her waist slightly and leaned my chin down on her shoulder before responding.

"I wanna cuddle up with my beautiful fiancé and take a nap" I answered with a little grin as I brought my lips back to her neck and started sucking lightly on her pulse point. I heard a little moan slip through her lips as she released one of my hands and brought it up to tangle in my hair before turning her head and running her lips against mine lightly.

"I love that word" She whispered against my lips with a little grin as she pulled away. I felt a little laugh bubble up my throat as I pulled her closer to me and she snuggled back into my embrace.

"Well…I love you" I whispered in her ear before placing a little kiss behind it, feeling her shiver in response.

"Love you too baby" She replied while turning her head to peck me on the lips and then buried her face under my jaw and closed her eyes. I winced slightly as her head came into contact with my bruised jaw before I pulled away slightly and leaned my head against hers and closed my eyes too.

"You know I've been thinking" I heard her whisper against my neck making my eyes pop open again. My eyebrows scrunched together slightly before she continued. "With everything that happened with Dallas, it made me realize…I don't wanna wait" She continued making me a little more confused as I had no idea what she was talking about.

"Wait for what baby?" I asked with confusion lacing my voice before kissing the side of her head and looking down at her.

"For us" She answered as she pulled back slightly and looked up at me. "Let's get married soon" She finished making me understand finally. I felt a little smile slip onto my face as I leaned down and captured her lips with mine.

"I'd marry you right now if that's what you wanted" I whispered against her lips as I pulled back and stared into her eyes. I watched her trademark big smile slip onto her face before she pulled me back in and made the rest of the world disappear with just one kiss.
