Xavier (POV)
Ember sat up and threw her legs over the side of the bed, then wrenched and grabbed her right side. My heart felt like it was being ripped out. She was in pain and it was all my fault.
"What are you doing?" She was getting off the bed.
"Going to the bathroom." She said, cringing as she walked forward. I know three of her ribs are broken. Sam was all too happy to inform me of all his injuries, which I now know are the same injuries that Ember has.
"Let me help you." I said, sweeping her gently into my arms.
"Xavier, I can walk."
I put my finger over her mouth.
"Sssssshhhhhhhh. I know you can, but you don't need to. I'm here to take care of you. Please Ember, don't fight me on this baby. Let me take care of you." I said, then kissed her forehead. She didn't say anything,
