Why would Michael do this? Before I could think another thought, I heard a hitch of breath, like someone was coughing. I looked over and..
---------------
I looked over and saw Jack's eyes flutter open, and in that moment I had no idea what to feel. There were so many thoughts rushing through my head. My baby's alive, I'm gonna kill Michael, What about the other boys, are they okay?

"Wait, what?" Jack said, looking over my shoulder. Speak of the devil. Michael was standing there, smiling at me. "Leave before I call the cops," I threatened. Then he grabbed me and dragged me out of the hospital room.

I was shaken awake by Dani. "Rose, it's okay, it was just a dream." I cried and he held me. What if Jack... I couldn't finish that thought. Just then, Jack's heart meter started beeping really fast, so I told Daniel to go get a nurse while I stayed here and hoped he would wake up. Daniel ran out of the room, and I sat down next to Jack. The beeping was getting annoying, and it was starting to give me a migraine. I put my head in my hands and started sobbing, Just another thing to worry about. Then a hand came up from underneath my chin, lifted my head and turned it towards its owner: Jack. "Baby?" He just stared into my eyes, when a smirk crawled onto his face. He pulled me close and kissed me. I love this boy. Daniel walked in to see me and Jack just staring at each other. He smiled and said, "Here we have two loverbirds in their natural habitat," which made me and Jack crack up. I got up so Dani could sit down, and I sat on Jack's bed. He pulled me down so I was laying with him, I didn't mind. Daniel smiled, and told the nurse what happened. Once he was done, she walked over to Jack's other side, the side I wasn't on, and messed with the IV he was hooked up to until she got it to the exact measurement she wanted. He groaned in pain, I understood. He was literally just shot, and now they're putting more drugs in him? But it's the doctor, they know more about this than I do.

"Baby, I'm tired."

"Do you want me to leave?"

"No, I'm just gunna go to sleep."

"Can I leave if I want to?"

"No," he sassed back, with that stupid little grin on his face.

"I should really slap you, to be honest."

"Do it, you won't! No balls."

"Shut up and go to sleep, Jack."

He layed his head on my shoulder and soon he was asleep. What I hadn't noticed was that Daniel had left the room to go talk to Zach and Anna, the new sweethearts. "Hurt my little sister and I will personally kick you in the nuts," I heard my best friend say. Daniel, you'll scare the kid, I thought.
--------------------
A few hours later, the doctor walked into Jack's room. She interrupted our conversation about Zanna (zach and anna) and how we thought they would work together. "Mr. Avery, I'm Dr. Jones. All the tests we ran seemed to come back negative, which means that once the last two results come in you can go home." Hearing those words made me so happy, I almost got up and started dancing. Until she told me the next part. "I understand the situation of why Mr. Avery is here, but the rules are that no visitors are allowed to stay the night at the hospital unless absolutely necessary." Did this mean I had to go back home? Michael knows where I live, he could kidnap me and... We'll stop that thought right there. "There might be someone you can stay with, considering all the visitors he's had today." She was right, all four of the other boys had come, Anna too. I thought of staying with the boys, but i didn't want to leave Jack. If Michael somehow found him and did something horrible, I'd never forgive myself. I decided to just stay with the boys and pray that nothing bad would happen. I got up and Jack looked at me sad. His eyes pierced my soul at that exact moment, telling me, don't go. But I had to resist and walk out. Zach drove us to the hotel the boys were staying at, and we went up to their room. When I got in, Jonah came up to me and asked me what happened. I told him everything and just like 4 days before, he pulled me close and didn't let go until I made an effort to get out of his grip. Which, not surprisingly considering the events of the past day or two, wasnt until the next morning. I was still crying, so Corbyn came over and tried to calm me down. "Everything's gonna be okay, Rose. Jack's okay, Michael's in jail, everything is gonna be okay." He just sat there and, like Jonah, he just held me. He kissed my forehead, and kept telling me things were gonna be okay. He was good at this stuff, he's had a girlfriend before.

We went out for breakfast, and it wasn't until I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror that I realized how bad I looked. I didn't get any sleep the night before,so my under-eye bags were intense. My hair was a mess, i had tear stains on my face and on Jack's hoodie that i was still wearing from the morning before. I started crying again, walked back into a stall and locked myself in for a few minutes. Quietly though, 'cause I heard another girl walk in. I walked out of the bathroom, and back to the table with the boys. I sat back in my spot next to Corbyn, and leaned my head on his shoulder. He grabbed my chin and pulled my face up so I was looking at him, and thats when he saw I was crying again. He hugged me and let me cry some more. It was only him, me and Jonah, because Zach and Daniel were at my house. Jonah and Corbyn had grown to be my favorite, next to Jack. These boys are good at being boyfriends. I laughed at a memory of me and my friend from middle school, who, oddly enough, looked a lot like Corbyn. He had the same blue-green eyes, and judging by Corbyn's roots I guessed he was naturally brunette, like my friend. Then I remembered, my friend's name was Corbyn. I looked at him and smiled, remembering the memories and jokes from when we were younger. "Corbyn, do you remember anything from your middle school?" I asked, wondering if he remembered. "Yeah, I think there was this one girl. We were best friends, and come to think of it, she looked a lot like you." He paused for a minute, then his eyes went huge. "Her name was Rose! But your name is Rose?" He gasped. "I knew you looked familiar!" He smiled and hugged me, I hugged him back. "I missed The Adventures of Corbear and Rose." We had been best friends and we wrote a comic of ourselves together, that was its name. We had so much fun. I hugged him for at least a minute, then it got awkwardly silent in the restaurant. The conversation started back up, and me and Corbyn laughed. "Hey, children. Can I just remind you that Rose has a boyfriend?" Jonah interrupted. We laughed and got up to go pay for our food. Once we were done in the restaurant, we walked back out to the car and I got a text from Jack. New message from Mr. Noodles🍲- hey babe, the doctors said i could go home! I unlocked my phone and texted him back.
