Trinity

I walk over to Joey and put my hand on his shoulder. He doesn't acknowledge my presence, and it hurts to know the he is hurting as well. I can't imagine what it must feel like for him, despite being able to kind of have the same thoughts as him. I just sigh and hug him tightly, resting my chin on his head.

It's been three days since his parents got into an accident. With a heavy heart, it was confirmed that Joey's father had passed away due to injuries received at the wreck, and his mother in critical condition. The doctors are unsure what could come of his mother, since she's in a coma. The only thing we have left to do is wait and hope that she pulls through.

-------

"Trinity...?" I hear the quiet mumble from Joey, who is standing beside me. I must've fallen asleep or something.

"How are you doing Joey?" I ask, rubbing my eyes and standing, pulling him into my arms. I feel him melt into me, and I just simply do my best to comfort him, though I'm not sure how effective I am at it.

"I... I don't know..." He says quietly, looking up at me. I can see the sadness in his eyes, and it pains me. I barely knew his parents, and I was looking forward to calling them my in-laws.

"If there's absolutely anything I can do for you, you tell me okay? I'll do anything in my power to get you whatever it is." I say, squeezing him tightly. He nods and buries his face in me, sniffling softly.

"The one time they can go out to have a good time... Is the first and last... I can't help but think it's my fault. If I wasn't born an omega, they wouldn't have to worry about me as much a-and they could've gone out at other times.." He vents to me, but I frown.

"Joey, no. Look at me." I lift his chin to make him meet my gaze. "Don't you EVER blame yourself for this, okay? You had nothing to do with this, alright? You weren't drunk and speeding, okay? It was not your fault." I say sternly, trying my best to use the 'alpha tone.'

He nods softly and turns, hugging me tightly. I simply return the gesture, slowly rubbing his back. "Wanna go get something to eat? Maybe it will help to get out of the hospital." I suggest, moving to sit down.

He shakes his head and sits next to me. "Can you bring me something..? I don't- I can't leave her side." He says, and I nod, respecting that.

"Alright. I'll be back, alright?" I say and kiss his cheek, then stand to leave the room. As I exit, I spot the nurse that is checking up on his mother, and I stop her.

"Please keep an eye on him?" I ask quietly, my eyes probably tired and worried.

"Of course." She reassures me, giving me a small smile, but I don't know how well I feel about it. I'm worried about him. I don't want him doing anything to hurt himself or anything like that.

Losing a parent can be hard, especially with the other one in an intensive care unit. I can't afford to think that his mother won't make it. She has to, not only for Joey's sake, but for mine, for her's, and her family's.

-------

I get into my car and head to the pizza place that I took Joey to on out first 'date.' I recall what he got pretty easily, and order that for him. I order some food for myself, though I dunno if I'll eat it. I wait patiently for my name to be called, and when it is, I walk up and get the food. Hopefully Joey will eat, its been a few hours since he has.

I make my way back to the hospital and towards the room with Joey and his mother. I am greeted by Joey who has a wide smile on his face. "Joey? What's going on?" I ask, confused since I haven't seen him smile in nearly a week.

"She's gonna pull through!" He says quickly, and I feel a weight lifted off of my chest. I bite my lip and smile just as wide as he is, hugging him one-handed.

"Oh Joey, that's so good to hear! How do you know?" I ask, putting my hand on his back and leading him to the hospital cafeteria so we can eat.

"The nurse called in the doctor because her vitals didn't make sense at the time, and with the doctor's help they figured out she was doing much better than they expected. We still don't know when she'll wake up though, but I'm sure she will soon." He explains and sits at a table far from anyone else.

I nod and sit across from him, setting his pizza in front of him. "I got you the pizza you got from our first date. I hope I remembered right." I say with a soft smile. He opens it and nods happily.

"Yup, you got it right!" He grins, grabbing the first piece. His mood has improved pretty much instantly since the news, and I'm glad. I'm hopeful he'll pull through this, he has a lot of people supporting him, but most importantly, I'm supporting him.

"I love you Joey. We'll get through this." I say, holding his hand and squeezing it tightly.

He looks me right in the eyes and nods. "I know we will." And I can't help but smile. He's strong, even for a little omega.
