"Come with me." the doctor said before turning and leading us to a room with two small blue couches. We all sat down, Jack and me on one, Ri and Alex on the other, and waited for the doctor to say something. I had a death grip on Jack's hand because I was so scared. "My name is Dr. Rameriez, I've been seeing over Zack's case." he said.

"Is he going to be okay?" Alex asked trying to get straight to the point. We all wanted to know if he would make it.

"He's in surgery right now, the knife punctured his large intestine and he's lost a lot of blood. I'm gonna be honest, it's not looking good right now. The surgeon is trying to remove the damaged part of the intestine and then sew it back together. He's also been bleeding internally, so they're trying to fix that as well. It's going to be awhile before he gets out." the doctor said with a pained look on his face.

"What are his chances?" Jack asked tightening his grip on my hand.

"It doesn't look good right now, only time will tell. But if he does make it out if surgery he's going to be staying here for a few days so we can watch him. It's not going to be a pretty recovery process. He's pretty banged up." Dr. Rameriez said. His pager went off, "Sorry, I'll be back later." he said and then walked off.

"I'm gonna go find food, you two need to eat something." Rian said referring to Jack and me. He got up and walked out of the room in search of food.

"What if he doesn't make it guys?" I asked. He couldn't die. There was no way he could he was stronger than that.

"Don't think like that Skye, he's gonna be fine. In a few hours he's gonna wake up from surgery and he'll recover and then he'll be fine okay?" Alex said. I couldn't tell who he was trying to convince more of that: him or me.

"You heard what the doctor said, it doesn't look good. What if he doesn't make it?" I asked again.

"You can't think like that or you'll drive yourself insane. Zack's a strong guy; he'll make it through this. You can't think of it any other way." He said making his point. Jack released my hand and instead stretched his arm around me pulling me closer to him.

"You weren't there Alex, you didn't basically see the life leave his eyes. You didn't have to hear him scream because you were trying to stop the bleeding. You didn't have to hear him tell you to tell everyone he loved them and that he was sorry for leaving them." I paused trying not to start crying again. "You didn't have to watch him give up on life. He gave up before the paramedics even got there. So please forgive me for being a little bit pessimistic about it." I said a little venomously and broke down again. I couldn't handle this! Zack couldn't die, he and Rian were the only somewhat sane one out of all of us, and there's no way Ri could handle us alone! We'd all end up in a mental institution without him! He'd been there for me most of my life! He couldn't just leave it now!

Alex kneeled down in front of me and pulled me into a hug trying to be careful not to hurt me. "He didn't give up Skye, or he wouldn't still be in there fighting to live. He wouldn't give up on life, he loves it too much." I sobbed even more.
