Shayne's P.O.V

I didn't know what to do.

I wasn't strong enough to help Damien at that point. Honestly, I didn't know if I could take another beating.

So, I did the only thing I could do.

"HELP!" I yelled out into the hall. "SOMEONE! OVER HERE! HELP, PLEASE!"

"Shayne, what's going on?!" Noah asked. "Are you okay?"

"Call the police. Get a doctor, nurse...something!" I ordered.

Noah ran. "Got it!"

I screamed in pain. It felt like a fire was being lit from inside of me.

"SHAYNE!"

My screams were enough to stop the fighting between Damien and Melanie.

They came to my aid, helping me stay afoot.

"What did you do to Aria?" I muttered to Melanie.

"N-Nothing! I found her like that!" Melanie lied.

"Liar, you were beating her with a gun! What the fuck, Melanie!" Damien yelled, making my ears sting.

"Step aside—"

I felt my weight being passed to various doctors and nurses, taking me back to my room.

Wait, why are none of them going to Aria's aid? Shit.

That means Melanie still has a chance to get to Aria.

"ARIA!" I yelled. "WAKE UP!"

Aria's P.O.V

Instantly, my eyes fluttered open.

My head ached, and my shoulders felt numb. I looked around me, and saw blood. My blood.

Well, I know she didn't shoot me.

I tried getting out of bed, but something was holding me down.

"Have you suffered enough, yet?"

Melanie.

She was laying on top of me. I saw Damien looking around for something.

The knockout trick.

"You're just like my father." I said. "Why do you want me to suffer?"

"You deserve it, bitch! For taking Shayne away from—"

Just like that, she was unconscious.

"Thanks, Damien." I said. "You can put it down, now."

I had no idea what that metal object was, but it looked like even Damien had trouble carrying it.

Damien pushed Melanie off the bed.

"Aria, I missed you so much!" Damien said, coming to my side.

"Thanks for saving me." I said, smiling.

"Actually, Shayne saved you." Damien corrected. "It's weird, but he did."

There Shayne goes again. I thought to myself.

"I want to see him." I said.

Damien's smile faded. "Get some rest. I'll be here to protect you. First...we gotta send Melanie to jail again."

Shayne's P.O.V

I tried shutting my eyes in attempt to go to sleep as the doctors tended to me.
