Jacks POV
Wow..... I don't think I have ever felt this way about anyone.
Every time I look at Molly in that hospital bed my heart sinks. She looks in so much pain, she's pail and has lost wait. She looks scared. I just hope that when she sleeps she has peaceful dreams.
Come on Jack you have to be strong for when she wakes up. You have to be strong for the others. They need you...
I looked around the room to see all the boys lying in the room. Everyone was sleeping except for Nafisa and Matt. Nafisa looked like she had been crying and Matt looked as if he had just seen a ghost. I feel so bad for him and Nafisa, they were-and still are- her best friends. They have known her forever. I walked over to Matt and sat next to him. The last week has been pretty hectic. Molly has been in the hospital twice, there has been a fire and she stopped breathing twice.
Wow...
I can't even imagine how Matt and Nafisa feel. All I can do is comfort them.
"Hey man, how ya holdin up?" I asked.
"Honestly? Not good." He replied.
"She's gonna be okay, you know that right?"
"Yeah, she's always been strong, I know she will make it through this." He said full of confidence but still a little sad.
Nafisa walked over and fell into the chair next to me. She looked exhausted, as if she had given up with life.
"Are you OK?" I asked, but we already knew the answer.
She just stared at me as if I was the stupidest guy on earth. I don't blame her, that was a pretty thick question.

"Its all my fault." Nafisa said unexpectedly. My head snapped up and by the looks of it so did Matt's.
"What?! No its not, how can you say that?" I replied.
"I should have at least warned everyone that she had night terrors. And I should have remembered to tell her to take her meds."
"Its okay Nafisa, I forgot as well, we are both to blame." Matt said.
She smiled softly then looked to the floor.
"She has quite a lot of issues. Her mum drank a lot when she was pregnant and now Molly has a lot of mental problems because of it. For example, night terrors." Matt explained.
Pain flashed acrossed his face and he bit back a tear as he said it.
The doctor walked towards us with a sincere look on his face.
"You can visit her now, her breathing is stable and she is being monitored." He said then walked back into Molly's room.
"Come on, you guys need to see her otherwise you will be destroyed." I said.
Slowly, I opened the door and held it for Nafisa and Matt. Nafisa looked like she was going to break as she rushed over to Molly and plopped down on a chair next to the bed. Soon Matt joined her. I made my way across the room to see a pale Molly sleeping.
I heard Nafisa talking to Molly as she slept peacefully.
We spent about 2 1/2 hours in the room with Molly just hoping that she'll wake up but we had to go soon because visiting hours were almost over.
"Can I just spend the 10 minutes in hear alone??" I asked cautiously because I know that Nafisa and Matt both want there time with her.
"Yeah sure." They both replied at the same time. Wow that was freaky!
I sit in the chair that Nafisa was sitting in and take Molly's lifeless hand.
"Hey, molly? We need you to wake up. You've been in here a while now and everyone is falling to pieces. Shawn is becoming depressed and is writing really sad songs that we all know are about you. But he has also tried to write a song that will cheer everybody up, its called 'a little too much' it's amazing, I just wish you were here to be able to hear it. I miss you Molly. Everybody misses you. Nafisa doesn't dance and sing around the house like she used to. Cam is moody all the time and takes his anger out on us. Matt barely comes out of his room and Sammy has stopped eating. Johnson and Jordan don't talk much anymore and Jake hasn't kept in contact since that night. Our family is falling apart Molly and I am trying my very best to help everybody out but I'm not like you Molly. I'm not able to do that. But if you were here you could. You are filled with so much love that you could get everybody back to normal with a snap of your fingers, we all love you Molly, we need you otherwise something bad is going to happen and no one will be able to stop it. Only you can. I love you."
I leaned forwards and kissed her forehead. I just stood there staring at her unmoving body. I held her hand again before I left. I felt something. It twitched. Her hand... It.. It twitched!!!
"Molly, are you OK? Please wake up!!" I said hopefully.
Her eyelids fluttered open and I just stood there watching. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. It was like she was struggling to breathe but instead she just couldn't get her words out. So I closed the gap between us and planted a kiss on her lips. I cupped her face and said,"its okay, just relax." She gave me a relieved smile.
"Just go back to sleep, I'll be back tomorrow. I love you."
And with that I turned and walked out the door to see Matt and Nafisa standing there waiting for me.
