Jude rushed into the hospital and ran to Alex and Noah.
"What happened?" Jude asked worried.
"Eli stabbed him" Alex said. "Eli was going to kill me and then Connor came out of nowhere and risked his life for me."
"Don't worry" Noah told Jude. "He's going to be just fine."
"Yeah" Alex said. "He got lucky. The doctor said if it was just a few inches deeper he would have died."
Jude nodded.
"If he died I don't think I could have made it without him" Jude said.
Alex leaned against Noah.
"We know" Alex said.
Noah put his arm around Alex.
"Thank you for getting him here Noah" Jude said. "I'm glad you followed Alex to the apartment."
"I still can't believe you followed me" Alex said.
"Do you really think I'd let you go off on your own?" Noah asked. "No way not with a crazy guy out there."
Alex smiled at Noah and they kissed.
"I'm just glad Daria and Taylor are out of town" Jude said. "Now we don't have to worry about them getting hurt."
Alex nodded.
"How about we just all hang out tonight?" Alex asked. "You. Me. Noah. Leo. Craig. We can all hang out at my Dad's cabin in the woods."
"Yeah good idea" Jude replied. "It might take my mind off of things."
That night, the five hang out at the cabin.
"See this is what I needed" Jude said drinking a beer.
"Maybe you should slow down" Alex said.
"Maybe you should shut up and drink your juice" Jude snapped. "After all your the alcoholic around here."
Alex rolled his eyes. Craig stood up.
"I'm going for a walk" Craig said. "Leo?"
"I'm going to stay here" Leo said.
Craig nodded and walked out. Alex and Noah kissed and both Jude and Leo gave them a look.
"Get a bedroom" Leo said.
"We will" Noah said dragging Alex off with him.
"I wish Connor was here" Jude said. "He could make me feel better. He always could."
Leo nodded.
"Yeah" Leo said. "You know I never apologized for what happened in high school between us. I was sorta a jerk to you."
"Yeah you were" Jude said.
"So I'm sorry" Leo said.
"Me too" Jude replied. "Me too."
They both laughed.
At the hospital, Eli walked down the hallway looking for the room Connor was in. He found it and smiled and he entered he seen Connor sleeping. He put his hand over Connors mouth and Connors eyes shot open.
"Your coming with me" Eli said evilly.
At the cabin, Jude's phone rung.
"Hello?" Jude asked. "Hey mom. Sure I'll go back to the school and get it. Okay love you too."
Jude hung up.
