I sat in the chair, reading the book slowly. I already went through like three books two times in the last hour. It's getting repetitive, and I'm getting bored with it.

I sighed while tossing the book to the side, getting slightly annoyed. I just want him to wake up already, that way I know he's fully okay. "You okay?" Alex asked, and I just nodded and grabbed his hand once again.

"Yeah i just, I want him to wake up already you know?" I said, then pushed the hair out of his face. "I just wanna know for sure he's okay." I mumbled, examining his features for the hundred time.

"He is, he will be." Penelope reassured, and I just nodded. I know he will, I just need the clarification from him personally; or I won't believe it.

His grip slightly tightened, and I quickly sat up straighter as his eyes slowly fluttered open. "Hey." I softly said, and he looked over at me with wide eyes. He tried sitting up, and i softly pushed him back down. "No, don't sit up, you might hurt yourself."

"Mallory?" He weakly said, and I smiled while nodding, tears slipping down my cheeks one by one. "You're here." He said, pulling his hand away and putting it on my cheek.

"Yeah, of course I am. I missed you so much, Spenn." I softly cried, and he carefully wiped my tears away. "I got here as quick as I could when I got the call. Who knew threatening someone who owns a private jet would work." I said, and he chuckled while looking at me in slight shock.

"Mallory how many times did I tell you-"

"Shh, don't strain your voice." I smiled, and he softly chuckled and rubbed my cheek. I swallowed and licked my lips, then put my hand on his. "I'm glad your okay, I don't know what I would've done if something happened to you." I quietly said, and he slowly dropped his smile and pulled me closer.

"I'm okay, I promise. You don't even have to imagine that, because I will never leave you Mal." He softly said, and I smiled then softly kissed his hand. "It's gonna take more then a bullet to the neck to get rid of me."

I softly laughed, then sat back while holding his hand. "Well let's hope we never find out." I smiled, and he smiled back and squeezed my hand. "Incase you haven't noticed, Alex and Penelope are here."

He slowly looked over, then smiled at Alex. Huh, where'd Penelope go. "Hey." He said, and she smiled back at him. "Where's Penelope?"

"Hey, I'm glad to see your awake. Oh, she's going to get you some food and something to drink. She'll be right back." Alex smiled, then pointed at the bandage. "Bandage looks cool."

"Yeah, when I get out of this I'm gonna look like Boris Karloff." He said, and I softly chuckled while rubbing my thumb on the back of his hand. Yeah, he's not wrong. But hey, it's still gonna look sick.

"Yeah, a little green makeup and you'll have the best Halloween costume ever." She said, and I smiled while watching the two talk. She's also really sweet to him, I love that.

In school Spencer's never really had the best of luck with kindness from other people, most of it stemming from jealousy. I tried protecting him as much as I could, but sometimes I wasn't able too. I beat myself up every time that happened, but Spencer always reassured me that nothing was my fault and that there was nothing I could do at that moment.
