hours passed, and there was still no legitimate updates on shawn. as of now, i knew he was alive, and despite that being a huge relief, i needed more.

noah stayed with me, his shoulder being my pillow. i fell asleep a few times, but paranoia kept pulling me awake.

i glanced to my left, seeing karen sitting next to manny, who had aaliyah sleeping against his side. manny looked distressed, but held karen's hand as she cried.

i tried to sleep again, forcing my eyes to remain closed, but nothing worked. i heard an unfamiliar voice suddenly pipe up, but i kept my eyes closed. i tensed up, my heart thumping hard against my rib cage.

"shawn is now out of surgery. he is still under anesthesia, and is very groggy and sore, but he should soon be fully awake," the doctor said, causing my eyes to snap open.

"shawn's okay?" i mumbled, looking at everyone.

karen stood immediately. she was already informed off his injuries, the doctor informing them as soon as they arrived.

"o-oh my god, so he's going to be fine? shawn-"

"shawn sustained some serious injuries, as you were informed about. his legs will have to remain immobilized for at least one to two weeks due to the rods realigning his bones. major blood loss has left him exhausted, despite multiple transfusions having been performed. this is all going to be a process for him, but with the proper treatment and care plans, he will be just fine," the doctor said, "temporary memory loss may occur, he hit his head pretty hard. it will all come back to him though, but when that happens we will never know."

"oh god," i buried my head in my hands, looking up towards the surgeon. noah rubbed my shoulder.

"he may forget-"

"may forget," the doctor cut me off, "the chances are slim, but the possibility is there. let's not worry about that until we have to."

karen nodded slowly.

"s-sweetie," she whispered, crouching down so she was level with aaliyah's sleeping body.

"mom?" she mumbled, half asleep.

"shawn's okay, baby, he made it through the surgery," karen said, causing aaliyah to sit up, "s-shawn's okay?"

"he is," karen nodded, pulling her into her arms.

aaliyah cried onto her shoulder, more tears leaving my eyes just from the sight of her. noah pulled me into a hug, whispering, "i told you he would be okay. he is okay." i sniffled, pulling away.

"you don't have to stay," i looked at him, "you've been here for hours."

"i don't mind," noah said.

"will all of you be going to visit him?" the doctor asked, causing me to refocus on him.

i shook my head, "i'll let family go first."

"nonsense," karen shook her head, gesturing for me to stand, "you are just as much his family as we are."

"i don't know if i can see him like this without you," aaliyah croaked, holding out her trembling hand.
