The sound of high heels on the tile floor catches FP's attention. "I'm looking for my daughter, Alice Smith." Alice's mom says to the receptionist lady.
"Mr and Mrs Smith?" FP says.
"FP, oh my God, how is she?" Her mom asks in a panic.
"They took her into surgery a little while ago."
"What exactly happened?" Her dad asks.
"She was working and then the Ghoulies, a really bad gang, busted in and raided the Wyrm. I told her to hide but one of them must have saw her because when I came to find her she had a stab wound."
"My little girl was stabbed?" Both of her parents look about ready to burst into tears at any moment.
"I'm so sorry." FP says, his own voice shaky. "She managed to stay awake the whole ride here and she was conscious when they took her into surgery. I had pressure on the wound the whole time so it prevented a lot of the blood from coming out."
"Thank God you were there." Her mom says, her dad nodding in agreement.
"Alice Smith's family?" A nurse calls.
"Yes." Her parents say in unison.
"She is stable and you can see her. Family members only." They turn to FP with a sad look.
"It's okay, go ahead. I'm sure she'd much rather see you two when she wakes up." FP tells them. "Just... give me updates?"
"Of course." Her mom says.
They follow the nurse to Alice's room and FP slumps down in his seat, thankful that she's okay. He must have fallen asleep at some point because he wakes up to Alice's parents shaking him.
"Is everything alright? Is she okay?" He asks, sitting up in a panic.
"Yes, calm down, she's perfectly fine. A little sore but that's to be expected." Her dad explains.
"She's asking for you. The nurse said you can go in, room 212."
"That's good. I'm glad she's okay." FP says before breaking down.
"Oh dear, what's wrong?" Her mom asks him, concern filling her voice.
"I just... I've never been so scared in my entire life. And I can't help but feel partly responsible."
"FP this isn't your fault, those hooligans came in and did this."
"It was planned, I know it was." FP says, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. "I have this ex, Penny, and she's extremely jealous of Alice. She can't accept that our relationship is over and I'm with Alice now, so I'm pretty sure she called the Ghoulies in to hurt her."
"That's not your fault still. And that's not even what matters, what matters is that Alice is okay, and she is, and it's thanks to you that she is."
"It is?"
Her dad nods. "If you hadn't of been there then our little girl might still be there, someone may have never brought her to the hospital and she may not be with us right now." He says. "I don't even want to think about what state she'd be in had you not been there."
"She's really okay?" FP asks, sniffling.
"She's perfect. She was laughing and joking. Asked us if the blood would come out of her shirt." Her mom tells him and he laughs.
"What room did you say she's in?"
"212." He nods and then stands up to go to her room.
He walks in and stands in the doorway, just watching her. Her head turns and she sees him and the smile that bursts onto her face warms his heart. "You're here!" She exclaims, waving him over.
"I haven't left since I brought you in." He tells her as he walks over to her hospital bed. She pulls him down to kiss her. "How are you feeling?"
"A little sore, but ten times better now that you're here to keep me company." She says. "I mean don't get me wrong, I love my parents and all, but I would much rather have you here to keep me company."
"Well I'm to going anywhere unless I'm kicked out so you're in luck." He tells her, taking her hand in his as he sits down on the edge of her bed. "You scared the hell out of me." He says.
"I'm sorry." She says sadly.
"It's not your fault. I'm pretty sure Penny set that whole thing up, but I can't help but feel responsible for it."
"You are not responsible for this." She tells him sternly. "Penny is a jealous bitch and the fact that she sent a gang in to try and kill me is on her conscious not yours."
He gives her a sort of sad smile. "I was just scared I was going to lose you."
"You're not getting rid of me that easy." She tells him, making him laugh and in turn making her smile. "That's the handsome man I love. She exclaims now that he finally looks happy again.
"I love you so much." He tells her, raising her hand to his lips to place a soft kiss on it.
"I love you too." She tells him. "Now give me a real kiss, my lips aren't broken." She quips.
He laughs but leans down to kiss her nonetheless.
