(Ranger's P. O. V)

After hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, the room became silent. I was still so afraid of opening my eyes to know what I'll find. But I have to, Amalia's my world, and I have to man up and face her, just like how Ruby taught me.

With a final reassuring deep breath I opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed is that the room was completely empty, except for Ryan and Amal- AMALIA!

"Amalia! My love are you okay?!" She stirred a little, probably regaining consciousness.

Oh God please.

"R-Ranger? A-are you okay?" She asked in a choked up voice and my heart squeezed in my chest.

"How can you ask me that?!" I yelled and she flinched at my harshness, causing her to wince in pain. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. Ryan? Buddy, you okay?"

"Hmmhey." He mumbled. I forgot he still had his gag on.

I felt the burning of tears in my eyes,"Guys I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, if I never would have known you guys, you guys would be safe."

"Hammomgujhcrefwtloctrytabfyefens!" Ryan said and I looked at him in confusion.

"Shut up Ryan!" Amalia snapped. "He doesn't understand you, let me do the talking."

"Hmmhey." Ryan lowered his head in defeat.

"What he's trying to say..." Amalia began adjusting herself in her chair to sit up right. She kept wincing but didn't stop until she was looking at my eyes.

What a strong girl.

".....is that's some bull crap! We're lucky to be your friends!" Ryan nodded in agreement. "Do you seriously regret being friends with us? Do you regret us ?"

I sighed and shook my head. There was silence in the room.

"Could you - ah! please sing for us?" Amalia asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't think this is a great time for me to sing."

"Please. Your voice is the only thing that can lighten - ah! the mood right now." She said still wincing as she started bleeding more.

"Amalia, stop moving and talking your hurting yourself more."

"I don't think I like those lyrics." She said making Ryan chuckle.

The guy is actually chuckling with a bullet in his leg!

I sighed and thought of which song I could sing before one came to mind. I cleared my throat and let the words flow freely.

' people say, we shouldn't be together,
We're too young to know about forever,
But I say, they don't know what their talk talk talking about.

Cuz this love is only getting stronger,
So I don't wanna wait any longer,
I just wanna tell the world that your mine girl!

They don't know about the things we do,
They don't know about the I love you's,
But I bet you if they only knew they would just be jealous of us.

They don't know about the up all nights,
They don't know I've waited all my life,
Just to find a love that feels this right,
Baby they don't know about, they don't know about us.

I stopped feeling like I've sang enough. I only sing when I'm happy or cheerful, and I'm obviously none of those things right now. The room became dead silent once again, until Amalia started singing.
