Jack's POV

I slowly got up from the ground. I went to Mark who was unconscious. I pulled my phone out and called for an ambulance.

*timeskip*

I laid in a hospital bed and next to me behind the curtain was Mark.

"Jack?" I heard him ask.

"Hey, yer finally awake. Ya started ta worry me there." I said trying to sound cheerful.

"Where's Monica?" He asked.

I was silent.

"Shit... I forgot about Soren." Mark mumbled.

*timeskip*

"Um excuse me, Mr Fischbach, we just admitted someone with the name of Fischbach. There was a little girl with her who said she was related to you." The nurse said.

"Monica?" I asked, moving the curtain so I can see the lady.

"Oh? Are you friends with them?" She asked.

"I'm Monica's boyfriend, her crazy ex tried ta kill us. Why is Monica here?" I asked.

"She was shot, I guess by who you call her ex. The little girl said that the man was going to shoot her, but Monica blocked the shot." The nurse explained.

"She was hit in the chest but she's lucky. It missed her heart." The nurse then said.

"May I see her? I think I'm well enough ta walk." I said.

"Sure. Let me undo your wires." She said and walked over to me. I grabbed my clothes and walked to the bathroom and got changed, slowly.

I walked out and Mark was sitting up, holding his side.

"Hey! No! Ya need ta rest." I demanded.

"I want to see Monica!" He said determinedly.

"No. Stay, I will tell ya how she is. Ya really think I'm gonna leave ya two alone here?" I asked.

"Fine." He said and laid back again.

I walked toward the door and when I opened it there was a girl sitting on the opposite side. She looked up at me and she smiled.

"You're okay! Thank God! C'mon! Monica is this way!" She squeaked and jumped up and started jogging down the hallway.

She stopped in front of a door and opened it once I got there. She offered me her hand so I took it and she led me over to Monica. I sat at a chair next to her.

"How did ya two get here?" I asked the kid.

"I grabbed Monica's phone and threatened Soren that if he didn't take us to the hospital I would call the police. What he didn't know is that while he was driving I was texting 911 and told them his license plate number and there was no way he was going to get out of it because of the blood in the back of the van." The kid said.

For the fact that this kid is about maybe ten, she's pretty smart.

"I'm Delani, by the way. I'm really big fan of you, Mark, and Monica." She explained.
"Nice to meet you, Delani." I said with a smile, "How old are you anyway? You look about 10." I stated.
"I'm actually 13." She said.
"You definitely don't look it." I chuckled.
"Yea... I'm short for my age and I have a baby face... the combination makes me look a lot younger." She said with a smile.

Monica's arm twitched which caught both Delani's and my attention.

"Mhmm" Monica groaned.

I placed my hand on top of her's and her hand squeezed it tight. She is probably having another nightmare.

"Monica?" Delani asked, confused.

"She's having a nightmare." I explained.

"Soren?" She asked.

"Usually." I said.

{News Anchor on tv: "This just in, police caught a man in a van that they got information about about three hours ago. The information came in a text message saying that there were two people in the back of the van, one a ten year old and the other twenty six years old. The twenty six year old was shot and the ten year old threatened the man that if he didn't take them to a hospital she would call the police. He dropped them off but on their way the ten year old texted the police their situation and the license plate of the car. The van also had bloodstains in the back and the man, Soren Kendrick, is now in police custody."}

"Well at least they caught him." Delani said as she looked back in my direction.

There was silence for a couple of minutes and there was only the talking on the tv.

"Jack?" Monica's weak voice asked.

I looked up from her hand and saw her eyes were opened a little and looking at me. I smiled at her and she smiled back, weakly.

"Monica!" Delani exclaimed with excitement.

"Hey... Delani." Monica said as she looked over at the little girl.

"They caught him! He's going to jail for attempted murder." She said happily.

"Delani you saved us both." Monica said.

"I didn't think I could do that. Soren scared me so much." She explained.

"How long were ya with him?" I asked her, curiously.

"Um... I guess since the end of December." Delani said.

"Well do you have anywhere to go?" Monica asked.

"I guess the orphanage." Delani mumbled.

"Well that ain't gonna work." Monica said.

"What do ya mean?" I asked.

"I want Delani to stay with me. There is no way I'm letting her go back to an orphanage." Monica said.

A smile formed on Delani's face and she started hopping with excitement.

"Really!?" She asked excitedly.

"Why not?" Monica asked with a smile.

"Thank you!" Delani squeaked with joy.
