Alex POV:

Everything was dark, I had no idea where I was or what happened. All I know is I can’t move and it’s pitch black. What happened? Is Jack alright? Am I alright? Questions swirled in my head, making it hurt. Which wasn't really a bad thing, it gave me a sense of feeling. That’s when I heard a voice, it sounded like it was in the back of my head.

“Alex? Lex? I’m so sorry. Please open your eyes. I’m sorry.”

Jack? I wanted to talk, wanted to tell him everything was okay, that I was fine. I wanted to apologize and tell him that I stood up for us, but I couldn't. I swear I felt a hand get placed into my own.

“Just squeeze my hand Alex, move a finger, anything. Please.”

I wanted to, I wanted to so bad it hurt. Jack was worried for me, I wanted to tell him I could hear him, but I just couldn't. No matter how hard I tried.

Jack POV:

Tears continued to stream down my face as I talked to a sleeping, peaceful looking Alex. Then again, he didn't look all that peaceful. There were bandages wrapped around his beautiful head, the hand I was holding was also bandaged up, from the tips of his figures to his elbow. He had a cast on his right leg, it was broken in two places. He also had many cuts and bruises along his jaw, face, and torso. To top it all off, they said it was amazing his ribs weren't broken, that all he came out with was just a crack. Yeah, just wonderful.

Jeremy had done this, I know he did. I thought back to that day, when Zack found Alex. I had shot around the corner, all I saw was red, just red. Zack was desperately trying to get Alex to wake up. I remember wanting to scream, I had even opened my mouth, yet nothing came. I shot forward and wrapped my arms around Alex. Crying, begging him to open his eyes. I remembered Zack yelling at something, whether is was me or someone else I didn't know, I couldn't hear him. All I could focus on was my Alex, slowly slipping away in my arms. Zack had called for an ambulance, I remember them trying to get me to let Alex go so they could take him. Zack eventually had to step in. He held me back as I watched them put Alex in the ambulance, and drive away. There had been a giant group of people because of all the noise. I saw Jeremy through the crowd, smirking at me. That was the first time I had ever punched someone, multiple times.

I looked down at my own knuckles that were bandaged, then looked back up at Alex’s face, gently moving a bit of hair that had gone out of place.

“I love you Lex. I’m sorry.” My voice cracked and I put my head down on the bed, continuing to cry. I’m not sure how long I cried, but one thing happened that made me head shoot up.

Did his hand just twitch?

“Lex?” I whispered. It happened again, his figures curling around mine just the tiniest bit, that’s when I screamed for a nurse. As they came running in my tears turned from sadness to happiness.

“You’re going to be okay Lex.” I said, bringing his hand up and kissing it. “You’re going to be alright.”

I will never let go of you ever again.
