                   Jemma's POV
Me, Dan, his brother, and his girlfriend Felicia have been playing minecraft for hours. It has been so much fun. "My dad hasn't even come to see me yet," I say to Dan. "What!? Really?" He replies. "Yup, I can't believe that he is so mad that he won't even come to see his own daughter in the hospital," I say. "It's getting late Jem, you should get some rest," Dan tells me. I know I should, but I am having so much fun. "Aww, can't we keep playing?" I ask him. I know that he is going to say no. "Sorry Jem, but I have school tomorrow, and you need your rest," he replies. "Alright, can you stay with me?" I ask him, "Overnight?" "Of course I will, babe," he answers, kissing me on the cheek, "why wouldn't I?" Aww, he's so sweet. "Bye Dan, bye Jemma," Dan's brother and Felicia say to us. "Bye," we reply as they walk out the door. "I'll let you get ready," Dan says to me, "I'm going home to get changed, be right back." "K," I reply, and get ready for bed.

                     Dan's POV
"Hey babe," I say, walking into Jemma's room. She smiles at me, and I walk over to her, kissing her on her forehead. She moves over, and I pull away the blankets, and lay down next to her. She pulls the blankets back over us, and I put my arm around her. "How are you feeling?" I ask her. "Awful," she replies, "everything hurts." She looks at me with sad eyes like she is going to cry. I can't blame her. Light tears start rolling down her face. "No!" She screams, "please don't hurt me!" "What?" I say, "Jem, I'd never hurt you." "What!?" She says, surprised, "if Nate caught me crying, he would beat me." "Well, I'm not Nate," I say, "and why would I ever want to hurt the girl I love to death." She smiles, and starts crying harder. I pull her closer to me, and she puts her head on my chest. Her sobs start soaking my shirt, but I don't care. She seems so upset, and it pains me to see her like this. "What's the matter, Jem?" I ask her. She looks up at me. "Everything hurts, and..." She says. Her sobs cut off her words. "Well, my... My... My dad hasn't even come to see me yet," she cries even harder, and I pull her in even closer. "It's ok Jem," I whisper, "everything will be ok. Let it out," She smiles and I kiss her, on the lips, knowing that it would make her feel better. She puts her head back on me, and I hug her tight. Eventually, we fall asleep.
                    Jemma's POV
I wake up, with Dan's arms wrapped tightly around me. I smile, and hear a noise. The door slowly creaks open. "Jemma?" I hear a voice. Dad? "Dad?" I ask. "Yup, hey hun," he says to me, walking fully into the room. He looks at me. "What the...!" He starts to say, but I cut him off. "Look, if this is about me and Dan, I don't care. I love him too much to let him go," I say. "Sorry Jem, I'm just a little upset that you never told me," he says to me. I think about what he said before replying. "If I told you, I knew that you would be really mad. You've always wanted me to be someone I'm not, you've always wanted me to date the popular guys. You said that that's the life for me. But what you didn't say was that I'd fall madly in love with the new gamer kid." "I'm sorry, Jem, but I thought that's what you wanted. I never knew," he says to me. "If I was still with Nate I would've gotten beaten up so bad for crying last night. Dan just hugged me and tried to make me feel better, telling me to let it out," I say, and tell him all about last night. "Jemma, I..." he starts to say, but Dan wakes up. "Hey, babe," he says and kisses me on the cheek. "Guess who's here," I say to him.
