51 -"I don't want to lose this."

•Shawn's POV•
"You keep bouncing that leg and it might just bounce away." Cam says.

I look up at him and scratch the back of my head as I chuckle. I've been bouncing my leg for the last 15 minutes. Today, Ashley was getting the ultrasound on her heart. I stop my leg and put my head in my hands. I feel a hand land on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, bro. She'll be fine." Cam says.

"I know I know. I just can't help but worry just a little." I tell him as I look up at him.

He nods. Then, the doctor comes out. I immediately stand up along with Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez.

"So, how is she? Did you find anything?" Mr. Alvarez asks immediately.

He looks around and sees everyone waiting to see what he says.

"Can I speak to you two in private?" He asks Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez.

They both nod and he pulls them to the side, away from us. I sigh deeply.

"It's okay, son. I'm sure everything is fine." My dad says as he comes up behind me and puts an arm around my shoulder.

A few minutes later, we see Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez come back towards us. They have long faces which is not good.

"So, dad, what's going on?" Dylan asks.

Mr. Alvarez sighs deeply and keeps his head down.

"The doctor said that. . ." He pauses.

"Ashley is going to be fine!" He shouts as he looks up at us and smiles.

We all let out a breath we didn't know we were holding in.

"The doctor said that since the bullet was close to the heart, it caused her to have some irregular beats. Just a couple pills should do the trick for her." Her dad explains.

We all smile and Cam puts his hands on both of my shoulders.

"You see? She's fine." He tells me.

I nod.

"Shall we give her the good news?" I tell everyone.

They all nod excitedly. We walk in and see Ashley sit up.

"So? Is it good or bad news?" She asks.

We close the door then we look back at her and smile.

"It's good news!" We shout.

"The doctor said that a couple pills should bring it back to normal. You're going to be fine." Mr. Alvarez says.

She smiles. Me, Liz and Cam go on one side of her bed while her parents and brother go on the other side.

"Oh thank god. I thought I was gonna die." She says.

I slap her arm. She immediately tends to it and rubs it.

"Ow!" She says.

"Well, don't be saying things like that." I say.

"Anyways, he said that he needs to keep an eye on you for a little bit longer so, he's gonna keep you here for one more night. Then, tomorrow you can go home." Her dad tells her.

She nods.

"Alright, well I don't know about you guys but I'm starving. We've been here since the morning." Cam speaks.

"Babe, you ate in the morning." Liz says.

"Yea but it's not the morning. It's the afternoon now." Cam whines.
