The Brothers

Please Be Okay

'Cause I'm not givin' up

I'm not givin' up, givin' up

No, not yet

Even when I'm down to my last breath

Even when they say there's nothin' left

So don't give up on

They brought her to the hospital, the same one that Nicholas brought her to the first time. Hope gasped when she saw the state Michela was in.

"Oh my god! WE NEED A GURNEY!"

Doctor Octavian's eyes widened in shock when he saw the state that Michela was in. Octavian immediately rushed her into the operation room after Nicholas told him it was a gunshot wound. Everyone waited anxiously outside. Hope walked up to Nicholas and hugged him,

"I'm sorry about Michela,"

Nicholas smiled tiredly at her,

"It's not your fault,"

Derek winced,

"I have to go and give in Kenzee and Alec, call me if anything happens,"

They all nodded. Massimo was depressed that his twin was in this condition, he ran here from home when Nicholas called him in the car. Ashley wrapped an arm around Nicholas, trying to soothe him. Jake and Bryce wrapped their arms around each other and rested on the floor next to each other. No one spoke, everyone was scared for Michela. Justin felt the worst because he blames himself. Massimo put his hand on his shoulder,

"She's a fighter...she will survive,"

Justin just nodded. Hope saw his bruised and bleeding knuckles and smiles slightly, feeling that he loves Michela. Hope walked up to him,

"Come here, I need to fix your knuckles,"

Justin looked at her and was about to say no but Hope raised her hand,

"I won't take no for an answer, Mister,"

Justin sighed but nodded. Hope took him to a small room and got the wrap out. Hope walked up to him,

"I know that you are blaming yourself, but don't. I met Michela last time she was here because she got stabbed. She will survive and I know she won't want you to beat yourself up because of this,"

Justin nodded slightly,

"I could have....I could have saved her,"

Hope shook her head,

"Sometimes that doesn't work, just don't feel guilty about this...it sucks if you do,"

Justin smiled slightly,

"Alright...thanks, Hope?"

Hope smiled and nodded,

"Yeah, my name is Hope...Justin, right?"

Justin smiled and nodded. Hope smiled and finished wrapping his hands.

"And, I know how much you love her, no guy who doesn't love someone would beat someone up so badly if they don't,"

Justin blushed and Hope smiled. They left the room and Nicholas smiled slightly when he saw Justin's hands were finally wrapped.

An Hour Later

Doctor Octavian finally exited the room after a long operation. Everyone immediately stood up. Octavian sighed and nodded,

"Alright...so we got the bullet out in time, she didn't rip anything which is a miracle, it was very close to her heart but it didn't hit it so once again, Michela Kastle is a very lucky girl. I'm sorry that this happened again. She will be fine but she needs rest right now and should take it easy for a week. She is still asleep and will most likely be asleep until the morning, so most of you should get home and get some rest, you can always come back in a few hours. You all look exhausted and as a doctor, I think it will do all of you good to get some rest and sleep,"

Nicholas sighed and was about to argue but Justin put his hand on his shoulder,

"I'll stay with her...Nicholas, you look exhausted,"

Massimo nodded,

"You all look horrible...Justin and I will stay with her, we will call you guys when she wakes up. Go get some rest,"

Everyone sighed but nodded. Nicholas hugged his brother and they all exchanged goodbyes before leaving. Hope smiled sadly at the two boys,

"You can go to her room and stay there, I will bring you both another chair and two blankets,"

Massimo and Justin smiled at her,

"Thank you,"

Hope nodded and smiled,

"No problem,"

Hope left and Massimo and Justin walked into Michela's room, they saw her ghostly pale body and frowned. It caused them both pain at seeing her like this. Massimo sat down in the chair at the left side of her and grabbed her limp hand and smiled sadly,

"Come on sis, please come back,"

Justin put a hand on his shoulder,

"She will...Michela is strong,"

Massimo smiled sadly at him,

"I know,"

Hope came back with another chair and sat it to the right of Michela and gave Massimo and Justin a blanket,

"Here, if you need anything just call, my shift ends at 10 a.m.,"

Justin and Massimo nodded. Justin sat down and carefully grabbed her hand in his wrapped one. Massimo smiled sadly at Justin because he sees how this is affecting him too. Massimo rested his head on his arm and Justin soon did the same as the two of them fell asleep.
