Arms crossed, legs crossed, fingers crossed. I'm stressed yet there's a lot of hope, I'm not giving up until I really have to.

The doors open, but it's not the doors I want to get open. The doors I want to open is the ones where a doctor or nurse will come out and tell me something, because I want answers. And I want them now.

But this time it was the other set of doors that opened, the front doors. It's mid day and there hasn't come a lot of people here recently so I gladly look up to see who's coming in. I shine up when I see it's Herrmann.

I get up from the chair and walk to him, he walk up to me slowly and almost pull me against him. He wrap his arm around me onto my back and gently rubbing his arm. His embrace is warm, and his big, strong heart seem very protective when showing love to a frail me.

It may sound weird, but I don't want this to end. I'm very vulnerable and unstable, all I need right now is somebody to lean on, someone to talk to and someone who can sit by my side and pretend to listen to all my boring and very fuzzy stories.

"How you 'holdin up?" He ask as we get out from the hug.

"Honestly, not so good." I say "They had to drag me 'outta there" I continue and smile because when I think of it, it was kind of stupid.

We walk against the chairs, we go to the same one I sat in earlier and sit down beside each other. I have to say, these chairs are everything but comfortable, which is weird because chairs at a place like this should be comfortable for the cause that a lot of people sit in them for a very long time.

"I can see you're stiff but I don't think you'll have to worry that much, Gabby is a fighter you know" he says.

It gets warm inside me. It's true, my Gab is a fighter and she never gives up without a fight. That's one out of many things I love about her.

"Yeah, I guess" I reply.

"Speaking of fighters, the rest had to respond to a call but I figured you'd need someone to talk to" he say.

That Herrmann chose to come to talk with me, instead of actually doing his job and even save more lives then what he will do here, it's the sign of a good hearted man. He is a good man, no doubt at all.

"You didn't have to choose me before your job" I say.

"Nah, but I wanted to" he reply.

This is what I mean, he cares about everyone in every single situation.

"You know..." I say and place my hand on his shoulder "I'll always have your back till a hundred percent, no matter what" I say.

"And I'll have yours" he reply.

Doors slam open, and this time it's the right doors. The sound of the doors quit our conversation.

Quickly I stand up and take a few steps closer to April, who was the one who came through the doors.

"They are waiting on you" she say.

A/N I'm sorry to tell that I won't be able to update next week because I'm going on a little trip with my family. But I'll be back the Tuseday after that!
