We all stood up and walked towards the nurse.  "How is she doing?" Quincy asked holding Tish's hand for dear life.

"She just got out of surgery. She's still asleep, but she's breathing. I can't tell you how much damage the bullet has done yet. We'll know by tomorrow." She said placing a hand over Quincy's shoulder.

"Can we see her?" Quincy asked, his voiced strained from crying.
"Only if you're family." She shot.
Quincy put his head down as if he had been defeated.

"She doesn't have much family, only us. She was engaged to him and I'm her bestfriend." Tish explained.

"Okay. Come with me." She said walking away.

The sound of her heels clicking down the hallway made the two of them anxious. All they wanted was for Jaz to be okay. 

They finally arrived to the door that's had Jasmine's name on it.

"We can go in separately." Tish said rubbing Quincy's back to comfort him.

Quincy took a deep breath and then went into the room. He wasn't ready to see Jaz down like that , with tubes in her nose and IV's in her arms.

He walked in slowly before Jaz was in his view. She didn't look as bad as he thought she would.
She was still that same beautiful girl that he fell in love with , years ago. Quincy missed Jasmine and he thought about her everyday, so when he saw her in that club with Adam, it's like a switch went off.

He kissed the top of her forehead and sat down in a chair next to her.
"I love you Jasmine." He said grabbing her hand.

"It might not have seem like I did, because I cheated and Tish told me it made you feel like you were lacking something." He cried.

"You were always everything I wanted Jaz. You were everything I needed, I was just stupid. Letting the fame get into my head and I wholeheartedly apologize to you. For putting you through that. If you could forgive me and get better, I'll make it up to you. I'll give you that life that we were supposed to have together." He said breaking down on the side of the bed. At this point, Quincy couldn't fathom a life without Jasmine. Even though it took him a year to realize , he knew that he needed to be with her.

He just hoped for her to know it too. He held onto her hand just staring at her, praying over her, wishing the one he loved would get better.

"Visiting hours are over sir." A wide , pale skinned woman said to him.

He got up from the chair and wiped his face. "I'll be back in the morning." Quincy said kissing her forehead once more , so that he could exit the room.

The next morning , Quincy woke up extra early so that he could be with Jasmine all day, him and Tish , since he took up her visiting time the night before.

He walked into the hospital, with balloons, bears, roses and even cards. He wanted it to be clear to Jasmine , when she woke up, whenever she wakes up that she was dearly missed.

"I'm here to visit Jasmine Jackson." He says walking up to the counter.

"I.D." The lady said dryly.

He handed it to her , she quickly put it through a machine and handed it back.

"Here's your visitors pass, she can only have two visitors at a time. One person is already back there, if anyone else comes, they won't be allowed to visit unless one of you check out." She said pointing to a keyboard, not looking up from her computer.

Quincy was confused , Tish said she wasn't coming until later and nobody else knew that Jasmine was even in the hospital.

Who could be in here?

Quincy walked up and put his ear on the door to see if he would hear anything suspicious before walking in.

He heard an unfamiliar female voice.

"I have done everything in power to get you out of my life. I even framed you. I poisoned Zoe because I thought you would be in jail and out of my life. You should die Jasmine." The woman said.

Before she could do anything bad Quincy rushed through the door.

The woman gasped and moved away from Jasmine as fast as she could. He caught her trying to unplug Jasmine's breathing machine. She tried to kill her.

"Get out." He said pointing towards the door. The woman quirkily brushed pass him so that she could leave them room.

Quincy got a quick glimpse of her visitors pass before she left.

Kimberly Jones? Who is she and why would she want Jasmine dead?

Quincy walked out of the room , to notify the guards of the events that had just happened in the room.

He came back to an awake Jasmine with the most beautiful smile plastered across her face.

"hey beautiful." He said kissing her cheeks.

"Hi." She said sheepishly sounding like she was still in pain.

"How do you feel?" He asked placing all of her gifts around the room.

"I'm good , can't move around the way I want to, but I'm better." She replied.

They both became silent.

"I heard everything you said to me last night." Jasmine whispered.

"You did?" Quincy said surprised.

She nodded her head.

"Well uh , uh , what did you think?" He asked nervously.

"I love you too." She said closing her eyes with a smile.
