Fix Me Read online

  Luke helped into the back seat of the car and then we were off. I was sandwiched between Luke and my father, and neither of them spoke. I could feel the nervous energy in the car. We were all anxious. Part of me feared we would get to the hospital and find out the surgery had been cancelled. I wouldn’t believe I was really getting it until I woke up and was told it had happened.

  “We’re here,” Luke said, his voice calm.

  I nodded, bracing myself for the sounds and smells of a busy hospital. When we got out of the car, it was relatively quiet. I could hear the sounds of a city coming to life, but I didn’t hear any sirens. Luke’s hand was holding mine and I could feel my father’s shoulder brush against mine on occasion as we walked. I heard the doors swoosh open and immediately felt the change of environment. There was the familiar smell of alcohol, cleaning solution and dirt.

  “Are there plants?” I asked with confusion. The smell threw me off.

  Luke laughed. “There are lots of potted palms. That’s pretty impressive.”

  I grinned. “I’m almost going to be sad to lose my heightened sense of smell.”

  My father laughed. “I have a feeling your sight will make up for it.”

  I focused on the warmth of Luke’s hand as he ushered me through the halls and into an elevator. I tried to stay positive, not wanting to have a panic attack. If I did, I knew the surgery would be delayed or possibly canceled. The doctors were busy, and they wouldn’t keep putting up with my constant cancellations.

  “Right in here,” Luke guided.

  “Good morning,” I heard a woman say. “Who do we have here?”

  “Gabrielle Sullivan,” my father answered with his usual authoritative tone. He said my name like he was announcing the Queen of England. “We have surgery scheduled with Dr. Tanner and Dr. Garry.”

  There was a moment of silence. My palms began to sweat and I feared there had been a mistake, like the surgery was on a different day or not scheduled at all. Luke gave my hand a gentle squeeze, calming me down.

  “Here you are. Alright guys, I’m going to take her back and we’ll get her prepped.”

  “They can’t come with me?” I asked, fear enveloping me.

  “Not back here, but they will be nearby,” the woman assured me. “I’ll be with you the entire time. My name is Joanie. You’re in good hands, I promise.”

  “You’ll be fine,” Luke said. “We will be right here.”

  He gave me a hug before my father pulled me into his arms. “I’m proud of you, Bree. I know this is a big step for you. I’ll be right here waiting for you.”

  I fought back tears and nodded. “Okay.”

  “Right this way,” Joanie said, and just like that, my two rocks were gone, and I was all alone in a strange world.

  It was then that I realized just how dependent I was on Luke and my father. They had been around me almost constantly for the last month. If I wasn’t with them, I was in a safe, familiar place. Now, I was without my guides in an unfamiliar territory.

  “Take a deep breath,” Joanie instructed.

  I gulped in air, trying to fight the rising panic. “I’m trying.”

  “We are stepping into a room,” she said, keeping her voice calm. “You’ll need to get undressed and put on a gown. Do you need me to help you with that?”

  I shook my head. “No, I can do it.”

  “Before we do that, let’s take a second to slow down your breathing, hon. Have a seat and let’s take a minute.”

  “I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I don’t mean to.”

  “Hey, it’s perfectly normal,” she assured me. “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it. Let’s just slow it down, one breath in and hold.”

  I followed her instructions, slowing my breathing and my racing heart. In the process I got a grip on the panic. “Okay,” I said, feeling more confident.

  “Much better. Alright, go ahead and get changed, I’ll be just a few feet away. The gown is on the bed in front of you.”

  I nodded. “Thank you.”

  She left me alone to strip and change. Now that it was happening, I was having second thoughts. I was terrified that something would go wrong. I replayed my last words to Luke. They were not the last words I ever wanted to say to him. I pushed down the panic and told myself they weren’t my last words. It was a simple surgery and if all went well, I would be in the recovery room within a couple hours.

  “I’m ready,” I called out.

  Joanie returned and helped me into the bed. “Dr. Tanner is here to see you,” Joanie said.

  “Hello Bree,” I heard her familiar voice. “How are you doing?”

  “Nervous. Scared. Hopeful.”

  Ellis laughed. “That is all totally normal. We’re all ready for you. Joanie and I are going to take you into the surgery room. We’ll be putting a mask over your face and the next thing you know; you will be waking up with bandages over your eyes. It’s important you don’t pull at those bandages, okay?”

  I nodded. “I won’t.”

  “Good. So, we’re all set. So let’s do this. I know you’re anxious and I’m quite excited as well.”

  I smiled in her direction. “Thank you for taking the chance with me.”

  “It’s me who should be thanking you for giving me the chance to prove this is a viable option. You’re going to change the world, Bree. You’re a pioneer.”

  Those were the last words I heard before I sank into oblivion.

  FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR, Lexy Timms, comes a billionaire romance that'll make you swoon and fall in love all over again.

  Jamie Connors has given up on men. Despite being smart, pretty, and just slightly overweight, she's a magnet for the kind of guys that don't stay around.

  Her sister's wedding is at the foreground of the family's attention. Jamie would be fine with it if her sister wasn't pressuring her to lose weight so she'll fit in the maid of honor dress, her mother would get off her case and her ex-boyfriend wasn't about to become her brother-in-law.

  Determined to step out on her own, she accepts a PA position from billionaire Alex Reid. The job includes an apartment on his property and gets her out of living in her parent's basement.

  Jamie must balance her life and somehow figure out how to manage her billionaire boss, without falling in love with him.

s caught up in her scheme of a fake relationship.

  One passionate weekend with the boss has Allyson Smith questioning everything she believes in. Falling for a wealthy playboy like Dane is against the rules, but if she’s just faking it what’s the harm?
