"Go! Go! Go!" I shout, holding the door open for Allison and Diego. They are both holding Five.

"We should have taken him to the hospital," Allison said. 

"A kid with a shrapnel wound might raise some questions....." Five weakly mutters. 

I sigh of relief. "Five thank god you awake- how are you feeling?" I ask, fighting back the tears.

"I-I'm fine.." He manages to say and I scoff. 

"Well, a murder shrine in Harold Jenkins attic might also raise some questions." 

I sit down while Diego and Allison set Five on the couch. His head in my lap.

He groans quietly at being set down so harshly. "Shh. I-its okay.. your gonna be okay." I tell him, wiping his hair out of his eyes. I wasn't sure If I was telling him that, or just trying to convince myself.

Allison takes off her jacket."He's still losing blood. What do we do?" 

"We gotta get the Shrapnel out," Diego concludes. 

"Sk- Sky can do it..." Five mutters and I give him a weak smile.  

"Alright... U-Uh Allison I nee-" I begin to instruct Allison on what tools I need, but I stop once Five grabs ahold of my shaking hands. 

"C-Calm." He tells me, smiling.

Diego slowly leaves the room, shock written all over his face.

"Diego! Where are you going?" Allison calls out.



------------



Allison, Diego, and I were standing at the door frame of Five's room. Five sat, unconscious in his bed. Thankfully, Grace was here to help Five instead of me, I wasn't in the right state to help.

"Anything?"

"There's no answer at Vanya's place. And, the receptionist at her music school said she was a no-show at her lessons today." Allison replies, with her arms folded.

"I hope she's okay.." I mutter, my gaze fixed on Five. 

"Hey, you okay?" Allison asks Diego. 

"Yeah.... I don't know, its just surreal seeing her. I just wanna tell her that I'm s-" He stops mid-sentence and I furrow my eyebrows. 

"Diego.." I pat his shoulder, "You know, my mother is the real version of Grace, you could come and visit her sometime." I offer, smiling. 

He nods before saying, "We don't have enough time, we got to go."

"I don't know diego.." Allison contemplates. "Five is laying there unconscious. We need him." 

"We can do this ourselves." Diego debates. 

"We already did that remember? We all ended up dead."
"I don't know, I just... I think I need to see Claire before-" Diego cuts her off. 

"You can't run away from this, Allison. That's what started this whole mess in the first place. Luther was right." Diego admits.

Allison looks at him wide-eyed, with a small smile. "I didn't think I would ever hear you say those words." 

"Yeah well. We gotta stick together." 

"Where do we start?" Allison asks. 

"There's no other addresses in the file, but there is another relation listed. Jenkins grandmother. She lived near jackpine road. We can go. Sky, Would you like to stay with Five?" Said Diego.

I look back at Five, before glancing back at Diego. "Yes." Is all I say.

The two walk off talking to each other. I walk back over to Five, and sit at the edge of his bed. 

"Oh Five..." I mutter. "Y-you could have told me.. We could have helped you! Its jus-I.... I lo- I think we should both get some rest.." I say to sleeping Five. I stand up to leave but I feel Fives arm wrap around my arm, stopping me from walking. 

"Stay." He says with his eyes closed. I smile as he scooches over in the bed, making room for me. I sit down next to him and I lay my head on his chest, still being careful of his injury. He plays with my hair before mumbling. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you... I guess.. I got to caught up with the apocalypse, I didn't pay any attention to myself."

"I under-" I quietly chuckle as I hear him quietly snoring. I close my eyes to his chest rising, up and down.
