We were currently in the hospital. Jake was sent to get X-rays and we were all waiting in the room. He was brought back in by a transporter and we smiled softly at him. "Jake, don't worry, everything is gonna be alright." I said softly as I rubbed his hand. He nodded at me as his eyes closely closed. You could tell he was tired.

The doctor had told us it was okay for him to sleep just to keep an eye on him, and that's exactly what we did. We made sure nothing was pulled out or detached. I checked the time to see it was about four in the afternoon. My sister Max was with Corey and Devyn since we did not want her here to see this. I soon get a call from Corey.

"Hello?" I say into the phone. "Hey Lexi, Max wants some ice cream, J don't know what she is allergic to. Is vanilla with chocolate sprinkles and gummy bears okay?" He asked. I smiled. "Yeah, no she's not allergic to anything, that should be alright." I said. I could hear a yay in the background and giggled. "Thank you, bye Lexi. Hope everything goes well." The call ended and Colby wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

As soon as the doctor got back, he said he was moving the room. He needed to stay for a couple nights because they needed to repair a cracked rib with was as well, close to puncturing the lung. It was scary to think about. A boy came walking in and over to us. Jakes eyes widened and I realized why. I walked over to him and pushed him away. "Back the fuck up, leave!" The nurse looked at me in concern. "Is there a problem here?" I smirk. "He's the one that heat my brother, the reason we are here." I seen the guys face drop and they nodded. Soon, security escorted him to a room for police to be called.

Jake looked at me in surprise after we began to walk again. "How did you know?" He asked. I smiled and held his hand. "I seen the look on your face, I know my brother Jay, and I won't let anybody hurt them." He smiled at me softly and then started coughing. The nurse picked up his pace and we went straight to the room. He was brought to a different room. It was just a sit and wait game for now.

A few nurses came in about 10 to 15 minutes later. "Jake's family?" We nodded. "Yes hi, I'm Doctor Kodiac, your son is stable for now, but we have to get him into emergency surgery because the rib shifted and punctured his lung, we need you to wait outside in a waiting room, a nurse of mine will escort you there." We all nodded and rose to our feet. As we walked to the waiting room, I seen my mom crying. She was quiet though. We all sat down and I shook my leg and bit the acrylic nails I have on.

Colby placed his hand on my thigh to keep me from shaking it. It was a calming feeling. He rubbed his thumb over it gently and softly. I sighed and looked down. I closed my eyes and prayed. I hoped to God that he would be okay. If not, I don't know what I would do. He's my little brother. I bit my lip and looked around to see a few other people here. I then remembered his friend from back home. Trey. I quickly pulled out my phone and messaged him.

*******************Conversation*******************

Me: Hey Trey, it's Lexi, Jake's sister.

Trey: Hey, did you need something?

Me: I don't know if you still have Jakes number, if not I can give it to you but, he is in the hospital right now, a bit he hooked up with best him.

Trey: Omg is he okay!?

Me: He had to go into surgery because a broken rib punctured his lung.

Trey: Omg I'm on my way what hospital!?

Me: Los Angeles, I thought you were in Florida still.

Trey: No, we all came to visit, we got a party house.

*****************************************************

With that's the conversation ended. About maybe half an hour later, a group of people came running in and spotted us. They ran over to me. "Is he okay?" "Where is he?" "Who did this to him?" "What happened?" All these questions bombarded me. "Guys, guys, calm down. He's in surgery right now, sit down with us." They nodded and sat down. Trey sat next to me and I hugged him. He hugged back and I felt hot tears on my shoulder.

"Shhhhh, everything's gonna be alright, it's okay." I rubbed his back as he sobbed. They broke up because of the distance and Jake never got over him. He hooked up with some guy and tried to get over him but instead he got beat. It was just horrific. He gripped my shirt and I tried to keep him calm.

"Jake Foster's family?" We all stood up and walked over. "He survives the surgery, we fixed the lung but he was beaten pretty bad. I'm sorry to say, but he is in a coma and I'm not sure when he will be awake." My eyes weld up with tears and I choked back my sobs. "There is also loss of memory, he may not know any of you if he even wakes up." The last few words broke me.

My mom gasped and put a hand over her mouth as my father held her close. She was crying. I dropped to my knees sobbing. "No, this can't be true, this is all my fault!" I sobbed on the floor as Colby and Trey helped me to my feet. Colby pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back. "You May go back into the rom and see him." We we're all lead to the room and I shook my head. "I can't Colby, I can't go in, I just CAN'T!" He cooed into my ear as I sobbed. Tear stains in his shirt.
