*Copeland's POV*

Prom was honestly so amazing and I wouldn't change it for anything.

I was passed out in bed for about two hours until my dad came in my room, flipping the light switch on and pulling the covers off me.

"Baby? You need to wake up." He nudged my arm a little hard and he was breathing heavily. "Copeland, please. You have to get out of bed!"

I turned over on my side and rubbed circles around my tired eyes. "Hmm? It's three in the morning." I sat up and leaned against the headboard. "What could possibly be so important that you had to wake me up at this hour?"

He stared at me with sad eyes. He sat on the bed next to me and leaned closer. "I don't want you to freak out if I tell you. Please just try to stay calm."

I'm not gonna be calm if he doesn't tell me what's going on! "Okay...what is it?" I said, completely not caring at the moment because I was so tired.

He took a deep breath and let it all out. "Cope," dad started, "It's Tony. He uh...something happened to him. He's....he's...in the hospital."

My stomach just dropped. My heart just sank. What is he talking about? How could Tony be in the hospital? All of us were just at a pie celebration and now he's in the hospital? What the hell happened?!

"T-Tony? Wh-what happened to Tony?! What's wrong with him? Why is he there?! What am I missing?! Oh my God, dad what happened!" I was frantically urging him to spill the details.

"Get dressed. I'll explain everything in the car."

"He what? He was hit in the back of the head with a baseball bat?! WHO THE FUCK WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! WHAT CRAZY PERSON WOULD DO THAT TO SWEET TONY?!" I screamed at my dad, not trying to frighten him with me jumping out of my seat. I was pacing back and forth in my head, not knowing how to handle seeing him in the hospital. But it's true. Who the hell would do something like this? And to Tony?! Not Tony! Who could ever hurt him? All he ever is to people is sweet and loving.

We arrived at the hospital and I immediately sprang out of my seat. I pushed through the hospital doors and ran my way to the front desk.

"Can I please see-" I began, but was cut off.

"Tony Perry?" the lady said. I nodded my head. "I just had a couple of guys rushing to me asking for him. Down that hall, last room to your right." I forced my way past everyone, not caring if I smacked someone in the face or tripped over something. I didn't even bother checking on my dad to see if he was catching up behind me. All I could think about was if Tony was okay. I kept asking myself, Who would do such a thing? I can't think of anyone in particular.

My heart raced and my head was full of different emotions. My stomach began to churn. My hands were all sweaty and I was desperate for answers. I stopped at the room to the right labeled 'Tony Perry." I saw Mike, Vic, and Jaime standing helplessly over his bed. I walked in and they all stared at me. I gave each and every one of them the tightest hug I could release out of my body.

I stood over Tony's bed. I had no clue what to do but get in bed next to him and hold him tightly. He had an oxygen mask hooked up to him. He obviously couldn't breath on his own because of what happened.

A pool of tears filled my peripherals. I tried to blink them away, but blinking only made it worse. The tears fell from my eyes like Niagara Falls. I couldn't hold them back. I felt extra weight surround my body in all different directions. Vic, Jaime, and Mike all huddled up around Tony and I and slipped their arms under my waist. They held me tightly. The doctor came in the room. We all freaked from the sound of her voice.
