You're The Closest Friend I've Got-A lams fanfic

Part 27-recovery

John was in bed snuggled up against Alexander,  Alexander was sleeping and John was playing with his hair.  After a while John got board do he got off of the hospital bed and wandered around the halls.  He checked his watch, 7:12, the floor that Alexander was on was pretty quiet and the only movement was a doctor or two checking on patients.  As he was walking he pulled out his phone to see if anyone had gotten his text.  His phone screen was blank, he didn't blame his friends, it was after all seven o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. 

Suddenly John heard muffled sobs, he wandered down the hall to see where it was coming from.  When he rounded the corner into the waiting room on that floor, he saw his student, George Eaker.  John didn't know what to do, his natural instincts told him to try and comfort George because he was crying.  But he also thought that not doing anything would be right because he was a student.

John was pulled out of his thoughts by a gasp followed by

"Mr.L?" It was George.  John smiled and sat down next to the boy.

"What's wrong George?" John asked.

"Oh, my d-dad was in a car a-accident, and he's in surgery." George said.

"That's horrible." Replied John.

"Mister L, why are you here?" George asked sheepishly, "if I may ask."

"Oh, yeah it okay.  I'm Alex- my fiancé was shot, so I just wandering around while he sleep." John didn't want to start rambling about all the little things in front of a
Student.

"I'm sorry." George said.

"I'm sorry too." John countered.  John gave George a final pat on the back and wanders back to Alexanders room.  When he got back there was a doctor check the charts.

"You must be mister Laurens." The doctor said.

"Yeah" John replied, "how's he doing?"

"Oh, much better that I thought he would be." That made John smile.

"With getting shot between the ribs, he's lucky it didn't he a lung or anything." That doctor went on, "your also lucky this isn't 1804 and we have modern medicine." The doctor joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"When do visiting hours for non family start?" John asked, he could feel his phone start to vibrate.  The doctor checked his watch,

"Eight thirty." The doctor said.  John nodded and took a seat on the chair next to the bed after the doctor left.  He pulled out his phone, there were to many texts to count.

Laffy: WTF John what happened?!?

Hurc: Is Alex okay?!?

Peggy: Holy shit John

Peggy: answer you phone!

Eliza: I'm coming down right now

Ang: me too

Hurc: be there ASAP w/ Laff

Peggy: I'm in bed w/ Maria, it might take longer ;)

John: guys visiting hour start at 8:30, Alex is doing good, and will make a full recovery.

John: from what I've gathered from Alex is that he accidentally stumbled soon a fight and was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Eliza: I'm still coming down

John chuckled at how much everyone card for Alex too. 

Around 8:15 John got a text from Eliza saying she was stuck in the waiting room.  John gave a sleeping Alexander a quick kiss on the forehead and then went out to meet Eliza.

Eliza was sitting in one of the chairs, anxiously bouncing her leg.  John walked over and smiled, Eliza jumped up and wrapped her arms around John.  The two waited twenty minutes until 8:30 before they went back to Alexanders room.

When they got there Alexander was sitting up in bed reading a magazine,

"They have noting good to read here!" He said without looking up.  Eliza raced over and gave him a gents hug.

"'Liza!" Alexander said.  John walked over and gave Alexander a kid on the fore head.  Alexander pulled John onto the bed with him and gave him a hug. 

The three sat there talking,  john in Alexanders arms, and Eliza on the chair.  Through the morning their friends started trickling in and exchanged hugs.
