"Mom, I heard Dad breathe."

*Beep... beep... beep...*

"Huh?"

I regained my consciousness and John was laying on the hospital bed. Yesss! He's still alive. Thank, God!

But...
Oh. My. Goodness.

John looks really terrible! The acid damaged half of his charming face. His eyes were swollen. His once soft lips were burned. Half of his face was covered with a black substance. His wrist was also connected with a tube. To stop it from bleeding perhaps.

He will be really broken hearted to see his face.

While studying his face, a nurse came in.

"Oh. Mrs. Cooper you're finally awake."

"Yes. Thank you so much!"

"I'll say a few reminders. When he wakes, he won't be able to talk. As you can see, we shoved a tube down his throat. It should suck the all the acid in three days. We have a dextrose connected to him so, he won't get hungry." she pointed to the tube connected to John.

I nodded. "Anything else?"

"Yes. One more thing, your husband won't have the ability to sing anymore."

Now we have the reason to really break the band. But I feel so much pity towards my husband. He doesn't deserve this!

"What?! Music is his life. You must do something!"

"We can't do anything, Ma'am. Sadly, the acid really burned through his throat. It instantly damaged his vocals. His voice won't be all deep too. He may sound a little funny."

Without any other words, the nurse left.

I texted the three troublemakers in our house. I asked them if they could all go here by this day. At the same time, John woke up.

John's POV

What is this? I can't speak! Something funny is shoved down my throat.

I thought that was it for me Why had they come to save me? I'm just a good for nothing guy I didn't deserve to live nor to be born in this world.

I looked beside me and Korey was texting sternly. She turned to me and whimpered, "John... why?"

I wish I could talk to her but I can't.

Before I knew it, Jen, Ben, and Rica entered my room.

Rica...
What is she doing in my life again? I thought she was with Ben now. Did they... did they trick me?

I don't really care that much. I just want my old life back. Where I can fo anything that I want without any hassle.

Without thinking twice, knowing that everything will be just fine.

"John? Are you alright?!" they said in unison.

"Oh my gosh. Look at him." Rica was shocked.

Did something happen to my face?! No...

Korey's POV

I've got to end this. I can't let this happen to anyone else. Seeing John like this is already enough! I can't take this anymore. Even if it gets me to destroy the whole band.

I AM going to destroy the band.

I'll find another way to make a living. I know it's like we're putting off God's word but we've done a lot for Him for a decade and I think I should put John to safety for now.

I don't hate the band. I just hate the people going near my Doggy.

Jen is acting like a freakin' terminator.
Ben is being a jerk.
And Rica... is a slut.

I talked the three of them to come here in the hospital. At the same time, John woke up.

John's POV

What is this? I can't speak! Something funny is shoved down my throat. I thought that was it for me. Why had they come to save? I'm just a good for nothing guy.

I didn't deserve to live nor to be born in this world. I'm just making everything wrong.

I looked beside me and Korey was typing sternly. She looks up to me and whimpered, "John... why?"

I wish I could tell her how much I hate my life but I can't with this annoying tube in my throat.

Seriously, it feels like my saliva is getting dryer and dryer all the time. And it's making my breathing uncomfortable.

Before I knew it, Jen, Ben, and Rica entered my room.

Rica...
What is she doing here? I thought she was with Ben now. Did they... did they trick me? I don't really care.

I just want my old life back now.

Where I can do anything that I want without any hassle. Without me thinking twice and me knowing that everything is just going to be all right.

"John? Are you okay?!" they said in unison.

"Oh my goodness. Look at him." Rica's eyes widened.

What? Did something bad happened to my face?!

"Aa-ah-a." I chocked out.

"Do you think he's okay? Just look at him!" Korey spatted at them.

"Why'd you call us, Kor? Do you need some help with John?" asked Ben, breaking the tension.

"Yes you could help me. By GOING. AWAY."

"Wha-what?!" Jen was shocked.

Jen was right to be shocked. Is Korey breaking the band? Why? Is it because...

I can't sing anymore, can I? Oh, what was I thinking? Of course I can't sing anymore. The acid damged me so much.

"Ben and Jen, you're both kicked out of the house. Pack while you have the chance." Korey continued.

Ben took this girlfriend's hand and they won't out. Jen, shedding a few tears.

"And Rica, you should never be heard from again. I hereby banned you from getting close to Doggy. No contact, no talking, no nothing!"

Rica slowly nodded. She headed for the door and waved me goodbye. Tears poured out of her eyes, she didn't dare to wipe it.

Seeing her like that broke my heart.

"GET. LOST." Korey said coldly.

Rica went away.

Korey... why?

Korey got me a mirror and showed me my reflection.

Tears fell down my eyes uncontrollably.

What happened to my handsome face? I was so stupid!

"John... I'm sorry. But you have to get used to it."

I kept on crying. There's so much imperfections in and out of me now.

Korey left me alone to let me cry.
