Ace's POV

I paced the room "Ace calm down, Pixie is strong she will wake up" Will said I sighed and went to sit next to my baby. Do we have any evidence on who did this?" I asked Will gave me a sad look "no, unfortunately El couldn't track them to the person, they must have gotten into a car." he said looking regretful "this is all my fault!" I exclaimed " No it isn't Ace it was whoever did this. You can't blame yourself, it will drag you down and make you feel things that you shouldn't. It is very hard to get out of that place Ace, don't go to that place" Magnus said with sadness in his voice it went silent, we all knew he was talking about himself and his past. I sighed "but if I hadn't let her go alone she wouldn't be hurt!" I said Magnus looked me in the eye "and if I hadn't called the love of my life when I was almost dead he wouldn't be dead, I would. My selfish self got him killed just because I wanted to tell him goodbye" he said it once again fell silent.

"well we know that it was most likely a male base on the size of the bruises on her arm" Ryan said filling the awkward silence we nodded "we could hack into the cameras and see if we can find a face" Will suggested we all agreed immediately Will left quickly and left the rest of us alone. I stroked Pixie's face "we will find out who did this to you" I whispered then a thought came into my head "oh shit!" I exclaimed out loud scaring everyone in the room "what?" Billy asked "we never called her dad!" I said pulling out her phone and calling him, he didn't answer I called again yet again another missed call, I tried a third time and he finally picked up

"This better be good for you to be blowing up my phone! usually when someone doesn't answer you wait to call!" he yelled at me I looked at Pixie tears filling my eyes "well it's definitely not good" I said my voice cracked I cleared my throat trying to hide the act I was crying "what happened?" he asked I took a deep breath "what's the closest flight you can catch this short notice?" I asked "Ace what is going on?" he demanded the door slammed open to reveal a pissed looking Will "NOTHING THSE STUPID CAMERAS WERE USELESS! I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING ! WE'RE NO CLOSER TO FINDING OUT WHO DID THIS TO PIXIE THAN WHEN WE FIRST STARTED!!" he ranted throwing is bag on the chair "what happened to my daughter!?" he asked in a panicked voice I cleared my throat "are you sitting down?" I asked "yeah" he said sounding annoyed I cleared my throat once again "Pixie called me after going to the store which I argued with her about, and just as she was about to finish her sentence about someone following her, she screamed at someone to let go, we found her with no help from the police beaten in an alleyway, she..." my voice broke "she didn't have clothes on and was carved into with a knife. She is in the hospital now, in a coma" I said barely finishing my sentence. There was silence "look up flights to Cali now!" he exclaimed to the other person in the room. I could hear shuffling in the background "we'll be there as soon as possible!" he said and hung up.

 "we should call her friends" Elliot suggested I nodded and went through my contacts before finding Eli. "hello?" Eli asked very confused "hey this is Eli right?" I asked just in case I got the wrong number "yeah why are you calling? I'm in the middle of a meeting" he said "Pixie is in a coma" I said bluntly "oh my gods! What happened?" he asked in a panicked voice and I explained everything. "I'll be there soon!" he exclaimed and hung up. "Can someone go to her dorm and find Blake? I don't have her number" I said they nodded and Elliot left. "Hey Ace we should probably get to class" Billy said "I'm not leaving her, just record the lecture for me and sign in for me if they give us a surprise attendance check" I said they all sighed but nodded knowing they couldn't change my mind.

an hour passed and Eli and Grey entered the room, he immediately rushed to Pixie's side looking over her with tears in his eyes Grey didn't look very good either "can this please be a prank?" Eli asked with tears streaming down his face Grey embraced him as I gave him a sad look "nobody could wish this was some sick prank than me" I said he started sobbing into Grey's chest "my baby girl" he stuttered out.

A few hours later a nurse entered "visiting hours are over" she said "I'm not leaving" I said immediately the nurse sighed "there's always one of them" she muttered to herself "and I'll bet you I'm at least ten times more stubborn than them" I reassured without missing a beat she sighed "fine I'll let you and only you stay" she said I nodded happily, everybody slowly left the room leaving Grey Eli and I Eli walked up to her and kissed her forehead. "I love you baby girl, you will pull through this because you're the strongest person I know" he whispered to her Grey smiled at his distraught boyfriend in a reassuring way. Eli then looked at me "hang in there, if you need someone to talk to I'm always available." he said to me in a soft voice that made it obvious he had been crying. I smiled slightly at him "thank you" I said and they slowly walked out of the room. I looked at Pixie and kissed her head before slowly driftiong off to sleep.
