>John's POV<

I woke up trying to move my head but It was just resulting in pain. I groaned squeezing my eyes shut.

"John!!?!" I managed to get my head to turn to the voice.

"Alex...?" He looked more tired then usual, the purple bags under his eyes confirmed this.

"You have been sleeping for 3 days! The doctor said your lucky if you live!" Lexi was now hugging me gently, I felt  bad for worrying him.

"You haven't slept have you...." I said after we broke apart our hug.

"How could I sleep! Your life was on the line. There was no way I was going to sleep." He said lip quivering.

"Shh I'm sorry, nothing will happen again I promise." I said kissing him as Laf and Herc barged in.


"MON AMI YOU'RE AWAKE!!!" He hugged me gently, smile ear to ear, then Herc hugged me.

The Schuyler sisters busted into the room. They looked worried and tired, DID EVERYONE STAY UP FOR ME!?!

"JOHN!" Peggy pushed away Herc and Laf to hug me roughly. I laughed hugging her back.

"We where all worried sick, only one person was aloud to sleep in here and we decided to let Alex stay since he was crying his eyes out.  I think its safe to say none of us got sleep for three days." Angelica said holding Aaron's hand. That's new. 

I chuckled holding on tightly to Peggy, soon everyone hugs me and I could feel the comfort around us.

"LET'Z WATCH HARRY POTT-ER." Laf suddenly screamed everyone released. His accent slurred his words making it harder for him to say it. 

Lexi nodded grabbing a cable and his computer, he popped the CD in and connected the cord to the t.v and computer. I didn't know you could do that at hospitals but he figured it out somehow.

Lexi ran back scooting me over on the bed gently and sat next to me. Peggy sprawled herself out at the end of the bed, Eliza sat in a chair in the top corner seeing the t.v perfectly, Aaron and Angelica where next to each other in two chairs, and Laf and Herc where sharing the recliner. 

It was ending and Alex pulled me closer to him.

"Your such a Hufflepuff." He said and I pulled away looking at him.

"Uhhhh no way I'm SUCH a Gryffindor." I said and everyone started laughing.

"Under all that football act, your so loyal and kind that you might as well be a Hufflepuff Prefect." Angelica said still laughing.

"Hufflepuff aren't bad so I don't know why you guys are being so weird about it." I said holding back laughter.

"Well i'm a Gryffindor." Alex said sounding proud of himself.

"HAH no way! I see you as a Ravenclaw, so smart it's scary for your social life and so sucked into your passions that sometimes nothing else matters, your a Ravenclaw all the way." I said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"I actually agree with that." Lexi said smiling.

"I see you as a evil Slytherin." Aaron said smirking.

"YOU'VE DONE MESSED UP A-A RON." Alex said before he got up to chase Aaron. Immediately Aaron got up speeding out of the hospital room, you could hear there screams going to the waiting room.

Everyone was full of laughter as Angelica and Eliza sat at next to me. I brought my legs up to my chest as Herc and Laf sat at the end of the bed with peggy on the side, it looked like a major sleepover session.

"I see Angelica as a Gryffindor. Brave and fights for whats right." She beamed and turned to Eliza.

"Liza is such a Hufflepuff, shes so loyal to friends and family its almost unhealthy, along with Peggy, god forbid we do something not aloud because Pegs would snitch us out!" I laughed and highfived them both.  

"Welcome to the Hufflepuff team!" I said and we laughed.

"Herc is a Slytherin, hes sneaky and able slither away at any second, along with Aaron, and sometimes their ambitions get a little out of hand." Eliza said earning laughs from us all. 

"Leaving Laf, Laf is so much smarter then everyone else thinks. He can solve almost any problem and is such a history geek it's unhealthy, so I sort you, Marquis De Lafayette to  Ravenclaw!" Herc announced and we all laughed like crazy. I love this group so much.

Aaron suddenly ran in here with Alexander at tow, their faces looked red and they were out of breath. Everyone departed and went to their chairs. 

We watched more movies and started falling asleep. Me and alex on the bed Peggy curled at the bottom of the bed, Herc and Laf figured out how to make the couch into a fold out bed and  shared it with angelica and Burr leaving from for Eliza at the foot. 

It was a huge sleepover and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.

>Time skip to out of the hospital because I lazy brought to you by John's gayness<

>JOHN BB<

I had a champagne in my hand and I was practically flying home, my feet barely touched the ground, before you ask, yes this caused my ribs to feel like they were on fire and my leg wasn't to hot  either.

Today was an exception though! It was me and Alexanders' year anniversary. (A/N i know i did a HUGE time jump but freshman year is irritating.) We decided to keep it simple this year, a home movie and some fancy champagne by yours truly. I had football practice tomorrow so I didn't wanna stay up to late, so I promised this weekend it would be huge.

I opened the to our off campus apartment we got a little after my dad incident, Herc and Laf actually still lived next door, there was a door connecting our apartments, COOOL. Plus thick walls, thats a bonus. (insert lenny face here).

"ALEX I AM HOME." I said hanging my coat up and taking off my work jacket, I worked at a office close to Alex's job he had with Jefferson, but I was trying to get a job at the aquarium desperately. 

He came out in a tux and I think I drooled a little. SHIT. I went into the kitchen grabbing two wine glasses as Alex tried to open the champagne bottle.

(If you get this reference conversation I love you)

"How do you get this gold shit off..." Alex looked sorta angry which was weird.

"Alex are you okay?" I saw wearily.

"I'm fine! I'm trying to open this champagne! You see the twisty thing is broken, but i'm gonna open this DAMN champagne." 

"Let me see it." I said going closer to him.

"No I've got it!"

"Alex drop the champagne."

(I'm sorry that was needed)

I grabbed the champagne bottle setting it down, I turned him around and kissed him with my hands around his waist.

"Forget the champagne..." he said taking a breath. 

We didn't drink the champagne that night. ;-)
