Chapter 59
Jefferson's POV

    "With a press of a button I can have the entire nursing staff in this room like that-" Alex snapped his fingers and I nodded. John slid out of the bed and flared at me as he walked passed, I shut the door behind him. Alex looked at me expectantly.
   "I'm sorry." Alex shifted uncomfortably. "I was angry and my actions were not justified." I looked down at my feet. I heard Alex's breathing quicken and his heart monitor picked up, I dismissed it as an anxiety attack and pressed on. "I didn't know you could swim and if you press charges I'll understand." I looked up and Alex's heart rate crashed to a steady beep. I turned a pushed the door open.
   "NURSE! SOMEONE HELP!" John looked at me with wide eyes and I stepped out of the way so nurses and doctors could flood the room. John was screaming bloody murder and trying to push through the nurses.
   "ALEX, ALEX, NO WE MADE A PACT YOU CAN'T DIE!" John screamed and tried to push through the nurses trying desperately to hold him back. I wrapped my arms around him and held on tight no matter how hard he fought. After a moment or so he fell limp to the floor and curled up into a ball sobbing.
   "1..2..3..clear!" John sobbed more and I tried to comfort him but he pushed me away, muttering something about 'he can't take it'.
   "Call it." I heard come from inside the room, John screamed and thrashed on the ground. I felt tears start to fall from my face and nurses tried to calm John down. After a moment I heard a steady pulsing beep ring through the air, John froze.
   "Get me some oxygen stat!" The doctor called and nurses rushed around. John sobbed on the floor and started to gasp for air.
   "Hey John it's ok, he's alive." I muttered and placed a hand on his shoulder.
   "No, fuck you! This is your fault!" He sat up and threw my hand away. It was true it was my fault, I was angry and irrational.
   "I know and I'm eternally sorry. I wasn't thinking strait and I shouldn't have done what I did." John's face softened and his tears ran quickly down his face.
   "Mr. Laurens?" Asked a nurse, peeking her head out of the room. John jumped up and wiped his tears only to be replaced by new ones. "He's awake and resisting again." John darted into the room and took Alex's hand. Alex looked scared beyond all reason and I wonder why that was. I decided to wait in the waiting room and make sure he was ok.
   "Why, why would you do that mon ami?" Laf asked, not moving from his cuddled state with Herc.
   "I don't know." I muttered.
   "How's Alex, the doctors won't allow us to visit him." Laf asked and I realized that Herc was asleep.
   "He's fine now." I muttered.
   "Now?"
   "He flatlined a moment ago." Laf sucked in a breath. "He's alive." I assured him.
   "How's John?"
   "Not good. How did you not hear him screaming?" Laf smirked and held up a pair of earbuds and I chuckled. "Naturally."
