Rose rushed to the hospital along with Ryan and the other two men who came along with him, despite Aiden's continuous pleas to not go with them. She left her grandparents at home, telling them they could come to the hospital after she consults with the doctors and understand the gravity of the situation. She didn't want to stress them out than they already are. They are the first ones to hear the news about Logan, and Piper is still shaken. Rose called her friend to look after them as Aiden tagged along with her insisting that he be with her, as he still wary that they might be playing tricks just as he suspected. She couldn't refuse because she knew one or the other way she needs his support when she sees Logan after five long painful years that too, in such a state she never dared herself to imagine him to be.
They got into Ryan's car and were followed by Logan's bodyguards who came along with him. She wondered since when Logan needs security around him. As much as she knows him, he was a free spirit and never liked anyone to keep an eye on him or fuss over him except Rose. He even teased her to be overly protective of him. That was then when she thought she knew him truly and completely but not anymore, not after he betrayed her. She sucked in her breath loudly as the painful thoughts plundered her mind, causing Ryan and Aiden to look at her concerned.
"Are you okay?" Ryan asked giving her a worried look. He knew it was more than difficult for her to digest what all he told her but at this time of the day, he was really grateful to her for agreeing to visit Logan. He can finally be at peace that he could fulfil his best friend's last wish. Ryan still can't accept that his friend is leaving him forever. Forever.
"I will be, once I see Logan with my own eyes," Rose spoke heavily, finding it very difficult to utter those words. In all honesty, she doesn't know what she is going to do when she sees him. Never in all these five years or before, she has ever imagined that a day would come that she would see Logan in such a state, but that is what life is, always unpredictable.
Had she ever imagined that she would lose her parents when they went to get her a surprise gift at the age of eight? Had she ever imagined that her grandfather would suddenly have a massive heart attack that would leave him in the coma for two years when she was just eleven, finally coming to terms with her parents' death? Had she ever imagined that she would have to take the responsibility of her twin siblings, become their parent in all sense when her grandmother practically stayed in the hospital for the two years her grandfather was in the hospital? Had she ever imagined that she would be separated from Logan and meet him again only to get her heart broken twice? Had she ever imagined that she would see him in such a state?
She had never in her dreams had imagined any of the situations to happen in her life but life has different plans for her. It seems like this is just the beginning of what life has actually planned for her. The car came to a stop when they reached the hospital.
"Miss Waters, we are here," Ryan's words brought her back from those drowning thoughts. Aiden was silent all the way and still is as he didn't know what to talk and how to stop Rose from seeing Logan again. He was afraid that this would be the end of everything he did all these years to divert her affection and attention towards him. He was internally very frustrated that just when he thought that their relationship is finally making a progress from friendship, it almost came to an end even before it began. He never expected Logan to come back into their lives again. Not like this.
Rose hands shook when she reached the door handle to open it. She doesn't know how she is going to face Logan like this. She didn't even enter the hospital premises yet, she felt like her heart is ready to jump out of her rib cage.
Oh, Lord! Please, please don't take him.
"Rose? Let's go. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Please don't cry." The voice of Aiden rang through her ears, only then she realized that tears are silently pouring out of her eyes. She wiped the tears with the back of her hand, got out of the car and walked towards the hospital. She silently prayed to all the gods in the world to give her the strength she needed now more than ever.
"Miss Rose, I know, this situation has come onto you out of nowhere. Something you would have never expected and I clearly understand your feelings right now." Ryan talked gauging her reaction as to whether to continue or not. Rose nodded her head signaling him to continue.
"What I want to say is that before you see Logan, there are few documents that need your authentication immediately. So, If I may urge you to go through them, first please?" Ryan concluded.
"O- okay. If you say so, but what kind of the documents are they, more important than seeing Logan?" Rose asked confused while she tried to control her heart that is forcing her to run to Logan right this second. She wanted to run to him just like her heart craves, but at the same, she was equally terrified of seeing him. Aiden was silent all this time as he did not know what to make of the situation. He could not say anything other than to be a silent spectator to whatever is happening before his eyes.
