A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 169. Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.

The trip to the hospital felt like it was taking forever. Garrett's eyes had stayed open only briefly, but I stayed there right beside him in case he opened those baby blues; he'd know he was not alone.

He became unnaturally still a few blocks from the incident, and as my tears fell unhindered fearing the worst, the paramedic tending to him patted my hand. "It's just the painkillers kicking in. He's doing much better than we hoped for after what he's been through, he's a fighter this one."

I leaned over him and whispered, "Keep fighting, baby... for me."
