Melissa Darnell - Covet

“I want to go with him.”

Emily laid a hand on my forearm. “You can’t. I called my parents. They’re on the way to the hospital already. They’ll be there waiting.”

“I don’t care. I have to go.”

“You can’t,” Emily said, more firmly this time. “You know what will happen.”

“Please,” I begged her. “I have to know he’ll be all right.”

“He will be. But you have to let him go now.” She leaned in close and whispered, “Please don’t make me use magic on you to save you. I know you love him. I promise I’ll call with updates.”

At that moment, I almost hated her. But some more logical part of me made me let go of his hand and step away.

“What’s your friend’s number?” she asked as the emergency workers slid Tristan into the ambulance.

“What? Why?”

“Because I’ve got to follow them. You need someone to come pick you up.”

I told her Anne’s number, and she punched it in. She didn’t have to say much before Anne agreed to come get me.

“She says she’ll be here in ten minutes,” Emily said after ending the call. “Now what’s your number?”

I looked at her in confusion, my mind too focused on the closing ambulance doors to be able to process her question.

She touched my shoulder. “Savannah, I need your number so I can call you with updates.”

“You’ll really call me?” I asked.

A smile tugged at her lips. “I said I would, didn’t I? Didn’t Tristan ever tell you I always keep my promises?”

So I told her my number. Then I wondered where exactly I’d left my phone. Maybe Anne had it.

She punched the number into her phone. “Are you going to be okay till she gets here? Do you want me to stay with you?”

“No!” Panic made me nearly shout. The driver for the ambulance threw a quick glance over his shoulder as he climbed in behind the wheel. “No, please follow them.” She would be my only contact at the hospital. My only way of knowing if Tristan got worse.
