Raven's P.O.V.
~~~~

The gun shot echoes around the room and both, Jordan and Alex, fall to the floor.

"Alex!" I cry out in surprise.

"Fuck.." He groans.

I look up to see who had the gun, but the only other person with a gun is.. Jordan.

They shot at each other, difference is one of them is dead, the other is injured. "Jésus!"

"C'mon Luis, come help me!" Jésus yells to Luis.

Everything turns into chaos, people start yelling order, moving around, pushing into each other, and everything everything around me is starting to get blurred.

It's just all blurred.

I could've lost them. I could've lost Alex, Luis, and Jésus. My only true friends.

I hear a feminine voice by my ear to get up, and to follow Luis and Jésus who are taking Alex by the arms into a car.

"Come on, Raven, we have to go." I know that voice, I turn my head and see Lillian there.

"What are you doing here?" I stupidly ask.

"I'll explain on the way, right now we have to go with Luis and Jésus." Is her reply.

With her help, I get up and follow Luis and Jésus to the car, blood trailing to where they went.

Once we're in the car, again I ask Lillian what she's doing here.

"Luis and Jésus appointed me to keep watch over you while you were at work, and make sure none of Jordan's other people could get you." She replies.

"So your a secret agent?"

"Sure."

Left dumbfounded, I just shut up and look out the window, unconsciously playing with Alex's hair.

We're at some hospital in Florida, it's been 5 hours since we first came here.

5 boring, tense hours.

"Family of Alex Gonzalez." Luis, Jésus, Lillian, and I all stand up.

"Please, how is he?" I ask.

"Sorry ma'am, only the family can know."

"We're basically his fucking family! Just tell us how he is!" I yell, someone is restraining my arms, holding me back to their chest.

"Raven you have to calm down." Luis says to me.

"You guys should've never followed me, you should've known better, Luis." I whisper, finally stopping my miniature struggle against his hold.

I faintly notice Jésus talking to the doctor, not that he'll tell him much, most likely.

"I'm sorry Raven, but I couldn't stop him, and, well, he couldn't stop me either. We had to come after you, you basically went on a suicide mission."

"I know I did, I needed to stop all the pain, all the being afraid," by now I was sitting on his lap, since he sat down on a chair in the waiting room. "I had to do that, in order to be with Alex. You know this." I whisper.

"Everything will be ok, Raven." After that, we just watched Jésus communicate with the doctor.

After 5 or 10 minutes, he turns to us. "Raven." Jésus calls me, motioning me to go where he is.

"...she's his fiancé?" I hear the end of the doctors' question.

Jésus nods. "Ok, she can go see Mr. Gonzalez." The doctor says.

He turns to me, telling me to follow him, and when he turns around, I throw my arms around Jésus, "Thank you." I whisper, then turn and follow the doctor.

After many twists and turns, and a bucketload of information, we finally arrive at his room.

"He will most likely be asleep, because we had to comatose him, but he should wake up in the next few days, the bullet wound wasn't that bad, not so much damage. But he most likely will be feeling a bit pain in the chest area." The doc informs me.

I nod and go inside the room.

Alex lays on the bed, so pail and frail, I almost don't believe it's him, if I didn't see his ice blue eyes looking back at me. "You're supposed to be asleep." I say, stupidly might I add.

"How am I supposed to sleep, when I need to make sure you're absolutely fine?" He questions.

"I'm sorry." I whisper, walking over to the bed.

"Lay down with me, Ray." He pats the space beside him.

I start to shake my head, but his words stop me and make me climb in next to him. "I didn't ask you to, Raven, I told you to."

"Are you ok?" I ask, once again stupidly.

"Fine, a little bullet won't do any damage."

"It can do a lot of damage."

"Shh.. go to sleep." Alex says, running his fingers through my hair making me sleepy.

Mostly asleep, I say the 3 words I haven't said ever since I was little, "I love you."

I feel Alex tense the he relaxes and says something, but the stormy darkness has already taken me.
