John's POV.
"John. We need to leave." said Herc tonelessly.
"NO! IM NOT LEAVING ALEX!" I screamed in protest.
"Im sorry Mon ami, but we have to. When they do his surgery, we can go see him. I promise."
In one day, I managed to break three hearts. Angelica's, Laf's and Herc's.
They tugged me harder. I knew I had to go, but I was in shock. Alex seemed off for the past few days. I didn't want to ask if it was about his family. I look back at his last text.
"I will always love you, dead, or alive."
After they took him, we rushed to the hospital,as by the time we would get through traffic, he would already out of surgery or dead. While Herc drove, I sat in the back seat with Laf, panicking. I sat there, with my head in my knees and crying an ocean.
I decided to leave him a text, if he does survive.
Johnnyboi: I'm sorry, Lexi. I should have been there for you. I love you, and I always will, no matter what happens in this world. I love you. And I always will. I love you more than the world can contain in its lonely and ramshackle head.

"Look, John. He'll be okay. I promise. I know he's your best friend."
I burst into tears.
"LAF HE'S MY BOYFRIEND. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CALM?! MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT HAVE JUST KILLED HIMSELF BECAUSE OF ME!"
"Your... boyfriend?" Laf said, sympathy in his eyes.
"Yes, okay? I love him too much. He can't die!" I said, leaning on Laf.
Ding!
From: King's Hospital.
To: John Laurens.
Dear sir,
I am happy to say that Alexander's critical state has been managed, and he is now stable. His surgery was successful, and he will be able to return in a few days.
Suddenly, I threw my arms around Laf, a huge smile on my face.
"LAF! ALEX WILL BE OKAY! HE'S GONNA BE ABLE TO COME BACK IN A FEW DAYS!" I said, still crying, but this time, with joy.
"JOHN! THAT'S THE BEST THING RIGHT NOW! HERC! OUR BESTIE ISNT DEAD!" Laf screamed towards the front seat. Herc let out a huge cheer as we turned the corner to the parking lot.
The three of us leaped out of the car and headed towards the front office.
