~Critical condition~

N A R R A T E R

Grace sat beside the hospital bed as she looked at her pale son, his body was hooked up to many machines, including a blood bag. Harrison sat beside her, holding her tightly as she sobbed.

Blake, Blake sat confused, wondering why Cooper had done this... what pushed him so far?  But Xavier... Xavier had guilt drowning him, Grace was crying because of her son... he nearly died, and he could still die... this was his fault.

Harrison stood up, walking over to the bed. "I have to go somewhere Grace, I'll be back soon okay? Is there anything you want?"

"I want Cooper to wake up!" She sobbed, pulling at her hair as she avoided eye contact with everyone. Harrison gave her a kiss on the head before he left the room and the hospital.

I climbed into my car, the two letters in my hand as I drove away from the hospital. After driving for about five minutes, I pulled up in front of Damian's house.

I got out, walking up to the front door and ringing the bell. A few minutes later, Michael opened the door. "Oh! Hey Harrison, what's up?"

"Is Damian here?"

"Uh, Yeah he's in his room."

"Could he come with me please? It's about Cooper." Michael nodded. "Please figure out what's going on, Damian hasn't been this upset since his gran passed."

"That's What I have to talk about, he needs to come see Cooper." I told Michael, Michael nodded before turning around. "Damian! Come here a second!" Footsteps were heard before Damian popped into view. "Yeah dad?"

"Harrison's here... he needs to take you to see Cooper." Michael said, Damian's face brightened before it dulled slightly. "He wants to see me?" I nodded my head, "Hop in the car, I'll be there in a sec." Damian nodded before rushing to my car, I turned back to Michael, a sad look on my face. I pulled out the two letters, holding them up slightly so that Michael saw. "Cooper left suicide notes..." I said, Michael's face fell. "Where is Cooper now?"

"Hospital, that's where I'm taking Damian, you can come if you want but right I now I have to go get Felicity and figure out what happened between the three of them." Michael nodded his head. "I'll pop over in half an hour, just text me what room." Michael said, I gave him a nod before going back to my car. I put the letters away before climbing in, Damian seemed to be jumping in his seat.

"Damian what happened between you and Cooper?" I asked as I started to drive away, Damian stared down at his hands. "We got into a fight... but it was mostly my fault."

"What did you guys fight about?"

"Felicity." Damian muttered, I turned to him with a confused look. "You liked her?"

"Nah, I don't swing that way... we fought because he still loved her, even after she broke him. All I wanted was to make sure that Cooper didn't hurt himself trying to get her back... but I managed to hurt him in the process..."

"How? How did you hurt him?"

"I had gotten so mad because he had tried to stick up for her... that I called him pathetic and stupid... only after I said it did I realise the mistake I made. He left after that and we just didn't talk." Damian said, I nodded my head as we pulled up at Felicity's house. "What are we doing here? I thought we were going to see Cooper?"

"We are." I got out of the car, making my way to the door and ringing the bell. After a second, Felicity opened the door. "M-Mr Hartley.. Hey." Felicity said, shyly, I gave her a smile as I looked into the house. "Is María here?"

"No, my mama is out right now, why?"

"I need you to come see Cooper." I said, Felicity seemed to freeze at the mention of Cooper. "O-okay." My phone started to ring, "Go hop in the car, I'll be there in a minute." Felicity nodded before going to the car, I pulled my phone out, answering the call.

"Is it true?" I heard James' brittle voice ask, I raised an eyebrow. "Is what true?"

"What Blake said about Cooper... is he really in the hospital? Did he really try and commit suicide?" James asked, I could tell he was crying. "I'm afraid so James... he's in the hospital right now, critical condition... they're trying their best to keep him steady." I said, I heard James let out a small sob. "Please don't cry James, Cooper's gonna be okay, he'll make it through this. Are you going to fly up?"

"Yeah, I'll book the soonest flight... I'll call Carlos, he'll want to fly up too."

"Okay, try and take care James. I'll see you soon."

"Okay, love you dad."

"Love you too kiddo." I hung up the phone before heading to my car and climbing in. Both Damian and Felicity were sitting awkwardly in the car, not wanting to talk to each other. I started up the car before going to drive away. "What's going on." I said, both Felicity and Damian looked at me, but I was speaking more to Felicity. "W-What do you mean?"

"Why have you stopped talking to Cooper?"

"Because she's a back stabber just like Zeke." Damian butted in, Felicity let her head drop. "That's not true."

"Then what's the truth Felicity? Because you left Cooper without a word! Not a goodbye, not a reason! And when he tried to ask you just ignored him!!"

"Because I was told to!!" She shouted back, that made Damian go quiet as I looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "What do you mean Felicity?"

"On New Year's Eve... after I Uh... left, Zeke and Xavier came up to me... they said if I didn't stop hanging out with Cooper and talking to him then they'd tell everyone and I got scared so I stopped talking to hi-m." Felicity said, her voice cracking as she tried not to cry.

I pulled over, putting the car in park as I pulled out the envelopes, handing them to Damian and Felicity. They both took them, looking at me quizzically. "It's from Cooper." I said as I started up the car again, heading straight for the hospital.

I wasn't sure how long it had been until Damian started to shake his head, tears welled in his eyes. "No, no no no... god! I shouldn't have said that shit to him!" Damian said as he started to sob, Felicity was trying her hardest to hold back her tears. "M-ma lo amo ancora..." [B-but I still love him...] Felicity whispered out, I have absolutely no clue what she had said.

The pair of them were in tears as I pulled up to the hospital, "Would you both like to see him?" They both nodded, I turned the car off and hopped out of the car. Damian was the first to get out, I gave him a side hug as he wiped his eyes. Felicity got out second, not even bothering to get rid of the tears.

"Come on," I said, pulling Felicity and Damian along.

"Let's go see Cooper."
