Wade's pulse was very slow and his breathing was close to none. She pulled out her phone and called 911 and Lavon and then started CPR. After the first round his pulse started to go a little faster but his breath was still very shallow. Lavon came running up to the boat 10 minutes later and jumped on.

"What happened?" he asked kneeling down next to her

Zoe turned to him with tears in her eyes and pointed to the beer bottles. "He took vicodin this morning, I have no idea if he's taken any more"

"Alright, you called 911?"

"Yes" she said as she continued CPR and then checked his pulse again. "Finally, back to normal " she sighed wiping the sweat from her forehead and then the tears from her eyes.

Wade's eyes slowly opened and he started gasping for air. Lavon sat him up and Zoe handed him a bottle of water she told Lavon to bring.

"What happened?" he asked after finally catching his breath and calming down

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Zoe yelled now unable to control her tears

Lavon turned towards the street and heard the ambulance coming. "Dude, what were you thinking mixing alcohol with your pain meds? You could have died."

Wade just looked at him and then Zoe and then at the empty beer bottles. "I have no idea." he reached for Zoe's hand that was shaking on the floor of the boat. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."

Zoe didn't say anything. She just got up and walked towards the EMTs as they got out of the ambulance. She filled them in on the situation and watched as they ran up on the boat and started to check on Wade. They got him up and put him in the ambulance.

"I'll follow you guys" she told them and then looked at Lavon "I'll text you later"

"Hey Z, don't scream at him, just relax. He didn't do this on purpose."

"Yeah" she said and climbed into her car and following the ambulance

Once they got to the hospital they took Wade and did tests and then the nurse came to get Zoe. Her luck it was Nurse Sarah.

"Hi" she greeted

"How is he?" Zoe asked standing up

"He's going to be fine. The doctor does want to keep him over night for observation though."

"Alright, can I see him?"

"Yep, follow me." she smiled and led them through the hallways to his room. "You missed us that much huh?' she asked him

"I guess" he shrugged and smiled at Zoe who was less than thrilled

"I'll be at the desk if you need anything." Sarah told them and walked out

"Doc?" he smiled

"What?' she asked coldly

"Come on Zo. Are you really not going to talk to me? You did follow me here."

She looked up at him "Do you know how much you scared me tonight? Finding you lying on that boat not moving, hardly breathing. Doing CPR over and over again, praying you would take a normal breath. Why do you keep doing this to me?" she asked with tears pouring down her face."

Wade sat up carefully and reached for her hand. Still wincing from the pain from his ribs. "Baby, I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry for yelling at you this morning and every other time I have these past 4 weeks. I'm just so frustrated with myself. I get that your pissed at me and I don't blame you, I did a stupid thing. Believe me I am so thankful for everything you have done even if I don't show or say it. I love you."

"I love you too and that's why I was so upset. I can't lose you Wade."

"You won't. I don't care if you have to put me on a leash and take me everywhere you go. I am not making that mistake again."

Zoe just nodded "I'm sorry about yelling this morning too. I know you are frustrated and I should have just let you vent. No more yelling please." she sighed and put her hand on his shoulder. "Did you ask them to check your ribs while we're here?"

"Yeah I mentioned it and they said they would try and get an x-ray in."

"Alright"

"Mr. Kinsella, you requested an x-ray while you were here?"

"Yeah, I broke some ribs 5 weeks ago and I feel they haven't gotten better in the last 2."

"Alright, we can take you now. A nurse will be in to bring you down."

30 minutes later the doctor came back in with the x-ray results.

"Mr. Kinsella, We pulled up your last x-rays and compared them to these and it seems that you have re-fractured this one" he said pointing to a rib. If it doesn't start to heal on it's own we might have to do surgery. You need to rest, no twisting, carrying, bending. I really don't want to put you on bed rest."

"Can I walk around? Go places?"

"Yes, but take it easy. The rest of the ribs look great though. They are healing nicely. When you go home, you need to keep icing as well."

"That I do, she makes sure of it."

"Oh good, you're his girlfriend?" he asked

"Yes, and his doctor. Obviously I haven't done a good job."

"Stop, you've done a great job. I'm just impatient. Do not blame yourself for any of this." he told her and put his hand on her arm

"Yeah it's all on him, don't blame yourself. I'll be back to check on you later before I leave."

"Ok thanks" Wade smiled then turned his attention back to Zoe "Why don't you get going Babe. It's late and you look exhausted."

"You sure?" she asked mid yawn

He laughed "Yes, go home and I'll see you in the morning."

"Fine, stay away from that nurse" she joked and he laughed "Love you" she leaned over to kiss him and just like the last time she watched his heart rate go up on the machine over his head "I missed seeing that." she laughed

"Well no matter if you can see it or not, know that it happens every time." he winked "I Love you too, see you tomorrow."
