As they did I walked in and clicked on the 4th floor and leaned against the back of the elevator and waited for the elevator to get to my floor. As the elevator came to a stop, I walked out of the elevator and towards my hotel room. I unlocked the door and walked into the room as i walked into the room i could see that on the bed to the left were Abigail and Nathan were sleeping while the bed to the right is were scarlet was sleeping as i went to each of them and gave them a kiss on the forehead as i put my purse down on the one of the hotel chairs in the room and got into bed as scarlet started scooting closer to me as i hugged her and once more promised them that i will protect them until my dying breath as they were my reason to live as i drifted off to sleep.

P.O.V. Hunter

As Marcelo’s mother left the hospital, I sat there by Marcelo's side and started thinking about all that had happened today and what Marcelo's mother had told me from and what she had to go through to try to escape from her abusive husband. As i looked at Marcelo i realized that Marcelo needed his mother and siblings just like they needed him but my selfish side of me just wanted Marcelo to myself but i knew that was not right and Marcelo deserved to be happy for once in his life and if that was with his mother and siblings in Canada so be it at least he was going to be happy and protected that’s all that mattered to me. As I fell asleep on a hospital chair and my head on the bed next to Marcelo's side.

P.O.V. Marcelo

All I could see was darkness no matter how hard I tried to open my eyes. I couldn't hear all the noise around me from the machines that I assumed were near my head and the voices of people talking about what had happened to me and about what kind of condition I was in. as the day dragged on i started worrying. What if Hunter just dropped me off here and decided I was not worth the time? As I could hear all this machine start to go hay-wired and start beeping these loud annoying noises as I started to freak out more as I could hear people running down the hall of wherever I was. When all of sudden I heard the voice that I desperately wanted to hear all this time. “Hey Marcelo, it's me Hunter, I'm here, you need to calm down for me” he said. As I heard his voice my body unconsciously obeyed and started to calm down as I heard the door of the room I was in slam open and someone hurriedly walk in and start asking Hunter questions as they checked the machines that I assumed were connected to me. As Hunter answered that he himself did not know what had happened, just out of nowhere I started shaking and the machines started going hay-wired.

Just as the people in the room left. I could hear Hunter start to talk to me about his day and how boring work was. That's when I could feel his mood change from happiness to sadness. I could hear him start to cry. “I miss you so much Marcelo, i just need you to wake up please if not for me at least for your family they miss you so much. Your mom comes here with your siblings all the time and your little sister always falls asleep next to you when they're here ”. Just as he said that I now wanted more than ever to wake up and open my eyes and see my family but no matter how hard I tried I failed every time to open my eyes. As I thought to myself, maybe I could move my fingers or my hand as I tried to concentrate on moving that specific body part, as I successfully squeezed Hunter's hand I heard Hunter shackling ask “did you just squeeze my hand?! Can you do it again?”

As I again tried to concentrate on using my hand as i heard Hunter excellently yell “you did it! You can hear me?!” he said as i could tell her was crying once more from the tone of his voice as he said “i have to call your mom and tell her the great news”. As my body was filled with happiness and more determination then even to open my eyes. As a couple more hours passed I could hear running footsteps once more running towards what I assumed was room as the room's door slammed open once more this day, I could hear my moms voice “is he okay, did he wake up yet?” as Hunter responded back with "no not yet, but the doctor said maybe soon” as i felt a someone climbed into the bed and laid down next to me as i was about to wonder who it was i smiled as the the voice said “you need to wake up Marcelo you always promised to watch frozen with me” scarlet said as she cuddled into my side as i tried to once more to open my eyes
