E 55uchers\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were so many times I thought I didn\u2019t deserve to live. Especially after the car crash, and being the only survivor. I asked myself why me? Why not the others? But whenever I felt like slipping down into that hole, Sebastian was the one who pulled me out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pushed the hospital doors open, my chest pounding so hard I couldn\u2019t breathe right. My hands wouldn\u2019t stop shaking, and everything felt blurry. I shoved past people, muttering his name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSebastian\u2026 I need to get to Sebastian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I barreled forward, blind to everything around me, until my shoulder slammed into someone. The man toppled, landing on the floor with a grunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFucking hell, are you blind?\u201d He snapped, glaring up at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t stop. I had to keep going. I tried to push past, but the man jumped to his feet and blocked my way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m fucking talking to you!\u201d he snapped, stepping closer, his hand rising like he meant to grab me. Before fear could even sink in, another hand clamped around his wrist and yanked him back. He was about to shout, but the moment he saw Roman, he froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roman towered over him. The look in his eyes shut the man down before the first word could even leave his mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t pay attention to any of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pushed forward, my feet carrying me to the door they\u2019d pointed out. People stood around it, but they didn\u2019t matter. My hand shook as it closed over the doorknob. I was just about to turn it when a voice stopped me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you Violet?\u201d I turned around to see a police officer, he was looking at me with a frown. \u201cSebastian\u2019s sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d I whispered. \u201cW-what happened to my brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer shifted uncomfortably, clearing his throat. \u201cYour brother fell from a high building, Miss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The floor seemed to tilt beneath me. My breath came out jagged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA high building?\u201d I repeated. \u201cYou mean\u2026 the school building?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He nodded. My knees gave out, but Roman\u2019s arms caught me just in time, keeping me upright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cH-how is he?\u201d My voice cracked. \u201cHow is my brother?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor is with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As if on cue, the door opened. For a second, I caught a glimpse of Sebastian lying on the bed, surrounded by machines. My heart lurched, as the door shut again, blocking him from me, and a doctor stepped out into the hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rushed forward, my hand catching the doctor\u2019s sleeve. \u201cPlease+how is my brother? Is he okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor looked at me with pity before he spoke. \u201cYour brother was badly hurt. He has a head trauma and internal injuries. He\u2019s alive, but he\u2019s in a coma. We did everything we could. Now it\u2019s up to him to wake up. But the survival chance for him to regain consciousness is very low.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, I stopped breathing. My chest clenched so tightly I thought I might collapse. My eyes widened, and if Roman hadn\u2019t been holding me upright, I would have fallen to the floor right then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 82\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did he just say Sebastian was in a coma?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. No, that couldn\u2019t be true. I shook my head hard,\u00a0<\/p>\n
90\u00a0<\/p>\n
155 chera\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re wrong.\u201d I muttered, my voice cracking. \u201cMy brother is not in a coma. He\u2019s probably just unconscious. You have to check again. Please, check him again! Run some tests, do something!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor sighed. \u201cMiss, your brother is lucky to be breathing at all. With that being said, I know you are grieving, but there is another boy who is in need of a heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze. My body went cold. He wasn\u2019t just telling me my brother might never wake up, he was already asking me to hand his heart over to someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a seventy percent chance the boy would survive with a transplant. Your brother, on the other hand, has a forty percent chance of ever waking up. If you are willing-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t even let him finish. I shoved him with both hands, hard enough that he stumbled back, catching himself against the wall. The people in the hallway gasped, everyone turning to stare at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no way in hell I\u2019m giving up on my brother!\u201d I screamed, chest heaving, fists trembling at my sides. \u201cEven if he has only a one percent chance of survival, I will never stop fighting for Sebastian. So forget about ever taking anything from\u00a0<\/p>\n
him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My glare burned into him, and even the sound of my own voice terrified me. I had never heard myself speak like that before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor opened his mouth to argue, but Roman stepped forward. \u201cThat is enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s jaw worked, his eyes flicking between me and Roman. Roman held his stare. \u201cI wonder what gave you the idea to propose that to a patient\u2019s guardian right after telling her her brother is in a coma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shame flickered across the doctor\u2019s face. He dropped his gaze. \u201cYou\u2019re right. I apologize. I will give you time to think about it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrenaline coursed through my veins. I had no idea what to do. My world was collapsing, but one thing was clear, I would never give up on Sebastian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned sharply to the police officer lingering nearby. He flinched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did he fall?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer swallowed. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stepped closer, my eyes narrowing. \u201cYou know exactly what I mean. How the hell did my brother fall from that height?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
