I coud hear his heart beating fast, faster than mine thats for sure. So far he's carried me to the steps.

"Do you want me to walk on my own now?" I say in a dazed voice.

"I don't mind carrying you up the steps" he smirks, "Hun."

Oh my god. He called me 'hun'...It was all whispery too oh god that's actually really cute and hot oops. I have that one kind of smile that no one would ever notice doing, like when you get a text from that one guy and you smile like an idiot for no reason. Yeah, that's me right now. I giggle and snuggle into his arm for some odd reason, but he accepts it as we go up the stairs, with me in his arms... Hopefully i dont make him fall..

We get to the door step after what feels like a half an hour of pauses and Tony puts me down, softly of course.

"You got your keys?"

"Yeah, just hang on a sec." I look up and he's staring at me. Which leads to me staring right back, into his big..brown..beautiful.. WAIT I'm getting my keys to help my brother. Right. I frantically look through my pockets and hear a muffled laughter from Tony. He's totally laughing at me.. Damn it..

I finally grab hold of my key and I twist the lock, open the door, and see my brother laying on the floor with blood running down his nose, eyes closed, and my dad sound asleep on the couch. I run to my brother, checking his breathing. It's muffled but he's still there. Still alive. He's practically the only thing I have left in this world to live for. If he's not here, I might as well be gone for good.

"Oh my...g-"

"TONY! Call 911 now!"

"Oh shit! Right okay!"

A small amount of silence before Tony frantically answers the 911 operater.

"Uhm my cousins unconscious. We need an ambulance. 1219 North Seaport road, please hurry." A muffled, "Right away sir" is echoed from the phone. Tony reaches down to help me up until the EMT comes. I'm pretty much sobbing into his shoulder the whole time the EMTs put Joey on the strecher and into the ambulance.

"Would you like to ride with us ma'am?"

"No, sir. she'll ride with me. We'll be there soon."

"Okay."

My dad woke up in the middle of that conversation, and is screaming at me to go into the other room, Tony won't let me. He's just holding me.

"Jackie we need to talk RIGHT NOW"

"Jackie isn't leaving my side. Especially with you around."

"Who the fuck are you to talk to me like that? Who are you in the first place?!"

"I'm Tony, your daughters friend."

"Well Tony, get the fuck out of my house!"

"If I do, Jackie's coming with me!", Tony's heartbeat is getting faster and faster with every second passing by. He puts his hand on my head and whispers, "Darlin, You'll be okay. I know those are our lyrics, but whatever. Timing is everything..." and kisses my hair.

"Dad, I'm going to the hospital with Tony to see if Joey needs anything. If you want to talk, Call me later. Good-bye."

"You can't just leave me here! JACKIE GOD DAMMIT"

"Watch me." I turn and walk through the door with Tony holding my hand as tight as ever.

I thought he'd never let go. He hasn't since we got to the hospital. The doctor leads us to our room, the one I had just been in a few hours earlier. How time flies... She leaves though. probably helping another patient. I'm not surprised. Tony's grip loosens, I look up to him and out of no where he kisses me!

"I've wanted to do that all night." He smiles and kisses me again, and fireworks start going off in my head. There's a lot of firsts going on today. I'm happy about it that's for sure. As the doctor walks in, Tony pumps my hand, like those playful little couple fight things,I dunno what to call it.

"Joey had an Arrhythmia. Tell me, did he do anything too vigorous at all? Did he get hit in the chest too hard?"

"... I dont know.. I came home and he was on the floor bleeding from his nose and totally unconscious.."

"Who called 911?"

"I did", Tony says sternly.

"Thank you, I'll be back shortly."

Joey stirs in the hospital bed for a moment and opens his eyes. He looks around for me and after a little searching he finally finds me and Tony.

"Who's this, Jackie?" he smiles in his drugged daze.

I jump to the bed, not letting go of Tony, he jumps with me.

"This is Tony Perry. You know, from Pierce The Veil?"

Joey's eyes widen at Tony.

"Is it really you or am I dead?"

"Dude, You're alive.", Tony chuckles at looks Joey straight in the eye. Joey looks like he might cry!

"Tony...Can I.. Can I hug you?", without an answer Joey lifts up his arms.

"Course you can."

"You saved my sister's life, well your band did. That's why I asked.."

"Sounds to me that I saved your life too bud."

"She hasn't told you has she?"

"We only met today kid.", He says while winking at me. "We've been here once before already too."

"What for??"

"Jackie here, fainted at our meet and greet. She was in this exact bed too."

"Yeah...heh"

"Heh, Jackie, you fan girl." He smiles as he lays his head back on the pillow, and slowly but surely falls asleep.

"You never told me that the band saved your life."

"I fainted before I could.. It was when my parents got their divorce when PTV started up. I used to self harm" I show him my wrists..covered in pale pink scars. "The first song I listened to was Disasterology and I heard the lyrics and they related to me, and I listened to it over and over and over until I fell asleep that night, with blood running down my arm. While I was half asleep Joey came into my room and saw me... He demanded me to stay with him and tell him everything. Even though he's my younger brother he's the one thing I live for... I hope that doesn't freak you out.."

"...Jackie, don't ever think that, okay? Now that you've told me that, I want to stay here longer."
