The room was silent. Apart from the still beeping heart monitor that kept everyone reassured that Alexia was still alive.

"I'm going to find those fuckers and fucking rip there cunty heads off" Gerard, who was no longer in a break down about the situation, rather fuming and murderous. Spat angerly at no one in particular "Gerard!" His mother scowled "I don't give a shite about my language right now, mom." Donna just sighed.

"I'm really sorry, But the doctor instructed two person's at a time until she is fully stable and there are no chances of complications"

"I'm not leaving till she's awake" Gerard was the first to speak. Everyone looked at him and Donna sighed "Gee, Sweetheart" Donna began "Mom, No. It's my fault." He was close to crying again but refused to let the tears fall.

She sighed "I'm going to head home... It's been a long day, Please call me if anything changes, Gerard" He nodded at her words before she left. "I'm going to grab a coffee. Gee, you want one?" Frank asked, "I guess..." he nodded and left.

"Ge-Gerard?" Mikey whispered, for the first time since they were let in the room "Thi-This isn't your fault... It's mine..." He whispered again "For the most part, yes. It is." Gerard wasted no time in snapping at his brother "But dad is also to blame." He continued. "But I don't care what anyone says... It is not Alexias..." Mikey nodded "It was those fucking fucks who shot her" The whole time his eyes never left Alexia's sleeping forum... For the whole time, they were in that small room. His eyes were trained on her for fear he would miss something.

"Yo-You do kn-know I didn't mean to... Right? Fuck Gee, I'm even scared I'll do it again Gerard I don't want this to happen again" Gerard shook his head "Control your anger then." Mikey sighed and rested his head in his hands.

"I'm exhausted, You gonna be okay?" Gerard nodded mindlessly.

"Going home?" Frank asked "Yeah..."

"Here you go, Gee" Frank whispered, handing him his coffee "Thanks, Frankie..."

"No problem"

"I she showing any signs?"

"No..."

Frank sighed

"I shouldn't have left..." Gerard gave Frank a look, finally peeling his eyes away from Alexia "What do you mean?"

"Gee, If I had of stayed I could have been in the room with her, stopped her, she wouldn't be in a hospital bed dying sh-"

"St-Stop... S'my fault" A dry voice choke out.

Both boys head snapped towards Alexia, who still had her eyes closed "L-Lexie?" Gerard choked out "Lexa, Open your eyes" Frank demanded, rushing over to the other side of her

"Hurts..." She mumbled quietly. Before flat-lining. Gerard felt his heart stop himself "Ale-Alexia.?!.." He choked out as Frank ran to get her doctor.

Things seemed to move in slow motion after that, as Gerard was dragged out of the room, screaming all over again for the second time tonight.

Frank had to hold him back as they closed her door.

"N-No! NO! FRANK LET GO!" He struggled against Franks grip "Gerard, You need to calm down. Doctors are in there making sure she's gonna make it." Frank assured, even though he had doubts himself.

He held his best friend as he sobbed, Praying for the sake of Gerard and Alexia, that she would pull through.

The doctor walked back out and smiled sadly "S-so?" Gerard sniffled "We got her under control... For now" The boys nodded and The doctor walked away.

Walking back into the room Gerard rushed right back over to her.

"Pl-Please don't leave us... I'm sorry I wasn't a good brother!" He sobbed out.

---

"Its uh... Been a week.

I finally convinced Gerard to go home and sleep yesterday...

Mikey came by with Pete and Camila...

Josh also came by... I almost punched him in his throat but he explained everything...

They all hope you get better. You better get better.

I didn't give up $155.00 to save your life, just for you to up and die on me"

Frank laughed a little... Hoping Alexia was laughing at his poor excuse for a light-hearted joke.

"we were asked, Gerard and I, To look at possible suspects.

We ended up finding them... They're in jail now...

Gerard almost broke through the glass and kill them.

Fuck, I can't close my eyes without seeing you falling to the ground.

And to be fair I don't think I ever will. Not until you are up and okay.

Just. Open. Your. Beautiful. Fucking. Eyes."

Frank never felt more vulnerable in his life. More broken and defeated.

"I could... I could have prevented this... Blocked the shot, Had more money, Offered my fucking car. I'd do it over in a heartbeat if and give everything if it meant I could save you. If it meant you would be awake right now.

Hell, I'd give anything now... To have you open your eyes and be okay... "

He let out a sob and rested his head on her bed... Praying yet again.

Only this time, She had opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Frank, gripping her arm and sobbing, she squeezed his hand, for the fact she was too weak to talk "Lexa?" He gasped, raising his head, She gave a small smile and waved.

Frank sent a quick text to whoever was the last person he texted, about the news and then didn't even begin to think about what he was doing, he just went for it.

moments later, he had his lips on Alexia's in a soft kiss, She, Thankfully kissed back.

"H-he-hello to yo-yo-you too" She laughed "You scared the ever living shit out of everyone, Alexia. I am so sorry I let you get shot." She shook her head at Frank "It's my fault... For both being adopted and running." Frank swallowed thickly "Don't say that" He demanded "Frank" She frowned "None of this would have happened if Donna and Donald didn't adopt me. You know that Mikey and Gerard know that, Donna and Donald know that. Even though none of you will ever say it to my face, I know you know that its the truth" Alexia said "So much has happened be-" Frank cut her off with another kiss "And you wouldn't have rekindled with Josh, You wouldn't have a warm place to stay, You wouldn't have a family or people who care for you, look after you, make sure you're okay. And... You wouldn't have a boyfriend." Alexia started blushing "W-w-what do yo-u mean?" she whispered "I mean" Frank smiled "I'm officially... Well once you're feeling better... Ofically taking you on a date, If you want"

"I think I'd like that a lot" She smiled

"Holy fucking shit" A voice choked out from the door, moments later Gerard had Alexia wrapped up in his arms "Don't fucking ever fucking do that to me ever fucking again!" He sobbed Mikey and Donna followed suit. Mikey though, standing his distance...

After Gerard and Donna gave their hugs and pieces of their minds about the situation, all eyes were on Mikey, who stood three feet away playing with his fingers "I-I'm s-so glad-" "Oh get over here you beanpole" Alexia rasped, holding out her arms for a hug.

Mikey let out a sob before pulling Alexia into his arms. She gratefully hugged back, having missed his warmness and the all-around serenity she felt in his embrace and wondered why she would ever think Mikey would intently hurt her for no reason at all.

"You had us so worried" Mikey sobbed "I was so scared, I didn't want you to go hating me, I need you to know how sorry I am. Alexia" He was shaking "I forgive you... Mikey."
