The Price of Love

Everyone was tired. Edward was no exception. After the mission was over, the teen felt as if he aged a hundred years. Claire was sleeping on a chair beside Alex and Scarlet was still staring at blank space.

Edward watched his girlfriend worriedly. The doctors said that other than some bruises, Scarlet was unharmed physically. However, due to the trauma she suffered, there could be some complications. A psychiatrist will be coming to take a look at her first thing in the morning. They had about three hours of shut-eye before that but Scarlet refused to sleep or move. Edward couldn't do a thing about it and decided that he would accompany her after lying her down on the bed.
