Jake's POV. Surprise!!!

I sit in the hallway so he can have alone time. I knew this girl was special, I've never seen him so happy and smiling before she was here. He used to cold and ruthless, I hope they can settle down, I'll stop it if I have too, hell I'll even take over if I must. They need each other, they need happiness. I've lost mine, I'm not letting them lose theirs.

After an hour I knock on the door "you ok" I say, poking my head out of the door, "yeah, you can come in" he says his voice cracking. I open the door wider and walk in, I pick up a chair and put it next to him and sit down.We sit in silence, listening to the heart machine. That's keeping her alive

I hope she pulls through, I don't think Luke will cope without her, I see the look in his eyes, the way he holds her hand. I had that but it was taken from me. I had a wife and two kids, there name's were Emma and Alex and my beautiful wife Charlotte. Burned in a house fire set alight by our Rival gang, after that I slaughtered every last one them. Luke found me and took me in, I'm so grateful for what's done for me.

"Hey, your crying" Luke says, I touch my eye and I am, I quickly wipe away the tear, "your thinking about Charlotte aren't you" he whispers I nod. He rubs my back "we'll get through this together" he says I give him a weak smile. I stand up "I'm going to get coffee, want anything" I say, "black coffee, no sugar" he says still looking at Lexi. I nod and leave.
