The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

People were slowly gathering , murmuring while I looked on without even blinking. When Brandon slightly shook me, I finally came out of my trance. Without looking anywhere I ran to Ethan.

" Ethan !" I sat down beside him and took his head on my lap . Blood was trickling down his head. Never had I imagined of seeing such a sight.

" Ethan, Baby get up please . Look at me , Ethan ?" I was desperately pleading while tears were freely rolling down my cheeks.

" Leo, get him inside the car, fast." He took up Ethan and once I settled in, he put Ethan on my lap and started driving.

" Everything will be okay , you will be okay." I was assuring myself more than anyone. The ten minutes drive seemed to be the longest of my life.

.......

I was sitting outside the emergency unit while Leo stood opposite to me. Whenever a nurse came out of the room, we rushed to her but the only answer we have got is that 'nothing can be said right now'.

Leo had already called Nick. So I called and told Papa and Caleb about the accident. I even called Char .

I had always adored Ethan . I remember how ecstatic I was when he started calling me Mom. But now that he was there fighting for his life, I had realised how big a part of my life he has become. Only a few months since I have known him and now I could't imagine being without him.

Please be well baby.

Nick's POV

I was in the middle of a meeting when my phone rang. Usually I don't receive calls during my meetings but the caller ID showed Leo. Though I had called a minute before to ensure if Sophia and Ethan were fine but then Leo wouldn't call to share some joke with me.
