“I’m okay, just my wrist hurts, but I need to use the bathroom,” I say quietly, and she smiles at me.

“I’ll get the wheelchair and move you over,” she says as she writes in my notes.

“No. I’ll carry her, it’s only a few steps,” Sebastian says, stopping her from speaking, and I nod at her when she raises a questioning glance in my direction.

“All right. I’ll get you some food and pain medicine. You need your antibiotics too, which you’re having just in case of infection because of that cut on your head.”

She smiles at me before she unclips my lines from the IV drip and starts to walk out.

“Mr. Frost, you should be in bed. Your mum will tell me off if you don't sleep soon,” she says with a slightly worried look in Blake’s direction, and then she leaves. I’m guessing Summer can be a little scary when it concerns her son.

“Come on, sis, let's get your skinny butt into the bathroom,” Sebastian chuckles.

Blake opens the door as Sebastian puts an arm under my thighs and my back, and then lifts me up easily, as if I weigh nothing.

He puts me down gently on the toilet and Blake says, “I’ll deal with her from here, and I’ll call you for a lift.” He grins at Sebastian.

“Oi, I'm not a taxi, but I’ll go and call our brothers to let them know you’re awake. I’m sure they’ll all be here soon,” he says with a laugh, patting my shoulder. They are laughing together, and I hope that means Sebastian will eventually accept our relationship. “All right, I’ll leave my future brother-in-law to deal with you,” he says with a grin and walks out.

I panic, internally cursing my brother and look at Blake’s smiling face as he pulls the door shut behind him.

“I'm sorry, he didn't mean that. Sebastian is just being an ass, so please don't freak out. I don't expect that from you at our age–”

Blake shuts me up with a deep kiss, and I sigh as he pulls away then kneels in front of me. “Believe me, Izzy, when I say I want all of that with you, the wedding, some kids, and a house to call our own. I almost lost you, and I'll never be stupid enough to let you go. You’re mine, and I will make you my wife one day. So no, I'm not freaking out. Now, let's clean you up.”

I sit in shock as he helps me use the bathroom and showers me. Blake spends extra time putting a black bag around my cast and sitting me in the shower chair.

“My mum brought a few black bags for you while you’re here.” He winks at me, making me laugh and love that his mum is so sweet.

Blake uses the shower to gently wash my hair and avoid my cut. Even while I’m naked in front of him, he doesn’t notice as he looks after me. I fall even more in love with him as he finally helps me dry off and dresses me in some PJs from home.

“A taxi service is needed,” he shouts through the door, and I giggle as I suddenly feel tired while I rest against Blake.

“I'm not a taxi,” Sebastian mutters as he opens the door and gently picks me up, then puts me on the bed with a smile.

Blake tucks me in and puts on a movie that we all sit and watch. A nurse brings me food and tablets a little later, and I take them with some thanks. I fall asleep holding my boyfriend’s hand and feeling safe, loved, and mainly lucky.

I wake up some hours later with Blake gone, and in his place is Luke. I gently nudge him out of his sleep, and he looks up with a grin. Luke looks recently showered, but he must have been exhausted to fall asleep on the edge of my bed. I wonder if any of my brothers slept while I was sleeping.

“Sis, you’re awake. I was worried,” he says, clearly relieved, and kisses my forehead.

“I’m happy to see you, too. Where are Blake and Sebastian?” I ask, feeling worried having Blake out of my sight. I know it’s a silly fear, but I can’t help myself from asking.

“Well, Blake was forced by his mum to go back to his bed, but he is being discharged tomorrow, and Sebastian was sent home by Harley to get some sleep. Harley just went to get some food and will be back to see you later.” He smiles at me, clearly picking up on my worry.

“Well, thanks for being here for me to wake up to. I don’t think it would have been okay waking up alone, and thank you for saving me,” I say and hold his hand.

“You never need to thank me, Izzy, but you would have been fine waking up on your own. You’re a King and far fucking stronger than you look. We should have protected you more, and I’m sorry about that.” Luke fills me with his good words, for a second acting far older than he should be.

“I'll try to be, and don’t be sorry Luke,” I say with a sigh.

“You won’t try, you just are. Just like you are Izzy King.” He winks at me, making me grin.

Harley walks into the room with a paper bag and a big smile.

“There’s my beautiful sister.” He smiles kindly. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Harley look so casual. Harley is usually always wearing suits, and now he has on black sweats with a white polo shirt. It’s quite the shock. I’ve always wondered what he works out in because he always works out at work and then comes back in a suit. Sebastian swore once that he does actually have clothes that aren’t suits, and I guess he was right.

“I hope you’re hungry,” he says, spreading a mixture of food across the small side table and pouring me a glass of water.
