The night passed by without any more drama. all seemed to be calm now in the once again darkened hospital room. Kier's Parents had come back at visiting time and had been given the good news that Kier was in fact pulling through and on the path to recovery. however, they intended to keep him in for a week or so of observation due to his concussion.
Laurence had made the decision to stay one more night, despite Kier's Protests, telling him to go home and get some sleep, but it was hard to sleep in an empty bed when you knew the love of your life was laying seriously injured in hospital.
as the lovers slept, their hands entwined together, Drew had found himself wondering whether Shane too had managed to sleep and sighed helplessly as he realised the answer was likely to be no.
as day broke over the hospital his suspicions were confirmed when at 9am the door creaked open gently and he glanced up to see Luke walk in, a frail and tired looking shane following close behind, his head dropped down so his eyes met nothing but the cold hard floor.
Immediately, Kier Stirred and glanced up as they gathered at the other side of his bed.
"hey" kier yawned gruffly as he stretched as much as his broken body would allow
"morning kier" Luke smiled weakly as he stared down at his friend "how are you feeling?"
"a little better" kier nodded to himself as he turned and kissed laurence's hand softly before continuing "the doctor said I'm out of danger now anyway"
"well that's good to know" luke whispered, glancing over at a still sleeping laurence and deciding not to disturb him "for a moment we thought we were going to lose you too"
kier sighed and looked over at shane who had his back against the wall, staring out of the window lost in a trail of darkened thoughts
"it should've been me" kier whispered back as he watched Luke wince and shake his head in protest
"it wouldn't make any difference whether it was him or you" Luke stated sadly "either way, it would break us"
kier sighed once more before biting his lip in concern
"I. is he okay?" he asked, nodding towards shane, knowing it was a stupid question to ask. Luke turned back to shane and watched him for a moment before letting out a defeated breath
"I don't know" he admitted "he hasn't spoken to anyone since we were told. when we got back to the flat he locked himself in his room and I heard him crying all night. he had a little nap on the sofa this morning but it was no more than an hour. I really don't know what to do for him Kier"
"he just needs time" a tired voice whispered from across the bed as they glanced over to see Laurence waking "he just lost the love of his life, he's bound react this way. I mean, if I'd lost you I think I would...." Laurence closed his eyes and fought back the tears at the thought as he felt kier's hand reach up and stroke his face softly
"heyyy" kier whispered softly, wiping a stray tear from laurence's brown eyes "I'm not going anywhere, I promise you"
and as drew looked up at shane, watching his emotional breakdown take it's toll, he remembered the time he made a similar promise to him, a one he could no longer fulfil, as he felt his heart shatter into even tinier pieces than before.
an hour or so had passed when Luke had ventured to a nearby news agents to pick up a sandwich for Laurence. he had decided while he was there that, now Kier was awake he would appreciate something to read and was browsing the magazines and newspaper section when he saw something that made his heart stop for a brief second.
