*Tom's POV*
I watch Sara run away from me and i dont feel anything. No sadness, no anger, nothing. All that matters are Jack and Katy.
Is she really so selfish to try and make today about her? Her little drama is nothing compared to what i have just been through; watching two of the people i am closest to being shot to the ground.
Out of instinct, i walk down the coridoor Sara had just come from, peering through every window until i see him. I feel relief swelling through my body as a smile descends like fog across my frown.
I see that the door is open so walk through, arms open. I half run up to his bedside and wrap my arms around him, having no control over the tears that sting my eyes.
"Mate, whats this?" he says, laughing slightly.
I reply with a sniff.
"Actually, i dont care. I love you, man." he says, hugging me back. He pulls away quickly, looking down to the needle in his hand.
"Hurts like a bitch, right?" i say, smiling.
"sure does." He smiles back. "What were we thinking, man? We are meant to be best mates."
His comment is compeletley away form the subject of hosptial, but i know exactly what he means by it, and i also know that it's the reason for the tears on my cheeks.
"All started when you decided you liked my girfriend and then turned into a little bitch." we both know i'm saying it as a joke, but it's the complete truth.
"She just came to see me," he replies, looking down.
"I know, i just walked into her. She said i should never talk to her again, so thanks for whatever you said." i nudge him slightly, but dont stop smiling.
"Why aren't you angry?"
"You're okay. I thought i'd lost you both."
"ofcourse i'd be okay, it's me." he looks down and slowly lifts his top to reveal a bandage, redenned with blood. "just a scratch, see?" he chuckles and then starts coughing. He leans forwards and grabs the railings on the side of his bed for support.
Panicking, i press the red button besides his bed for a nurse.
He keeps coughing and leans over the bed to be sick.
I rub his back. "get it all out, mate."
Once he's back up, i hand him a glass of water and help him sit back.
He smiles at me; "i knew you'd be here to do this for me. I just knew, i'm so grateful, i'm so lucky..." his face crumples and he starts to cry, his face turning red.
A nurse runs into the room. She walks over, hands on her hips. "My job isn't to be here for emotional support, it's to help with his health."
"Excuse me, but he was just sick." i reply, gesturing to the floor.
She sighs- "I'll go get the cleaner becasue that isn't my job either, i'm not a slave."
"What a bitch." he says, wiping his eyes once she's left.
"Super bitch." i reply.
"You should have seen the one i woke up to, she was so hot" he adds.
i laugh and fall into the chair besides his bed.
"Wait a second, Tom, earlier you said you were 'scared of losing us both'.. Wait, someone else got hurt?" His eyes grow wide. "Who was it Tom?"
I look down.
"After you were shot, Tony got angry, Katy stood up to him and... and.. and he shot her. It was worse than yours, no ones giving us any information, we are all going crazy out there in the waiting room-it's not good, it's not good atall, thats all i know. Me and Harry tried so hard to stop the bleeding but it was useless, it was really bad, Jack"
I lift my hands to my head and pinch the bridge of my nose. "I'm trying so hard to stay strong for...for the others- for everyone, but it's so hard. I love her, Jack."
"I know you do, I always knew you did. Even when you were with Sara. You loved her so much before, i guess it never even crossed my mind there would be anyone else."
"No, no... i loved Sara too." I rake my fingers through my hair. "This thing is one massive fuck up. I've hurt them both. I've hurt you, i've even hurt my family. God, i'm such a dick."
"Can't argue with that i'm afraid, mate."
I look over and see that he's grinning. I smile back and shake my head. "Shutup, Jack."
"Go on, then."
"Huh?"
Ka
"I dont want you to leave, but you need to. You need to find out about Katy. I can wait."
"You're sure?"
he nods.
"I'll come back later, i promise."
"No, please dont feel like you have to."
"Jack, i'm going to. I promise."
"Okay man, goodluck. Stay strong, alright? Just remember, i'm always here for you."
I give him a quick hug before leaving.
*Sara's POV*

"Yes, Sara?"
"Toms coming."
