(P.S. this chapter was sad to write so be prepared. Song of the chapter- nothing by lewis watson)

Katherine took Kaden with her, because I didn't want to leave. It's been two days. I can barely eat, sleep, and function. My mind has a mental block, and the fog won't blow away. I've never imagined myself without him, or him without me. The pain is in unbearable, but I manage to hide it, or at least I think I do. Cameron stayed, but everyone else left. I laid on Cameron's shoulder, blinking my red eyes that were sore from crying.
"They said he may not make it.." I mumbled, and felt a single tear roll down my damp cheeks.

"Hey," Cam said, sitting up, and wiping my tear. He took my hands and looked at me.

"I know he'll make it. Listen Ari, I've liked you for a long time, but I knew you were in love with Jack. He's a fighter."

My stomach fluttered.
I've never felt like this with Cameron.
He's eyes moved from my eyes to my lips, and flicked back to my eyes. He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, and inched closer to my face. Then, he softly kisses me. I knew it was wrong, but I kissed back. Wait..stop.
I pulled away, letting go of his hands.

"I'm sorry..I didn't mean-"

"It's okay, Cam." I said, flashing a half smile.
The doctor walked to us, but I met him half way, because I was to nervous to sit down.
"Would you like to see him?"
I nodded.

"I'll wait here." Cameron said, and I looked down, following the doctor. Once we met the door to the room, I slowly opened it, to feel sick at the sight. There was my love, my prince, my Jack, laying there. He had IV in his arm, and bruises were on his neck and face, with a cut by his eyebrow. His arms and legs had a few cuts as well.
"His condition is stable, but just in case, it would be smart if you said your goodbyes now."

Goodbyes?
The doctor left the room, and the beeping was all you could here in the room. I just stared at him for a second. He already looked lifeless. I held his hand, and kissed the back of it.
"Hi Jack," I said, trying not to cry.

"You can't go. Magcon and your mom and Kaden..and me. I need you here. Kaden needs you. I don't want to say goodbye, but I guess I have no choice. I'm not going to say goodbye, but I'll see you soon, babe. Please stay."

I kissed his forehead softly, before sitting there in pure silence. I had closed my eyes, and fell into a light slumber.
Once I awoke, I heard shuffling. Opening my eyes, I saw Jack's eyes blinking, but they didn't open. I stood up and rushed to his bedside.
"Jack." I said softly, but loud enough for him to hear. I grabbed his hand, waiting for a response.

He squeezed my hand, and opened his eyes slowly.
"Ari." He said quietly.
I let a few tears run down my cheeks, and he wiped them with his limp thumb.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"You heard me?" I said in awe.

"I'm not going anywhere."
