"Lou? Are you okay? What's wrong?" I ask. He's crying and I do not like to see him cry. Like, 'I-will-punch-the-guy-who-did-this' kind of hate. His hair was messier than usual. It still looked pretty hot on him though. He had faint bags under his eyes, like he didn't sleep. But it couldn't have been more than one or two days.

"I was scared that you'd never wake up! They said that if you don't wake up in a week, they'd pull the plug. And your dad said that OKAY! How could he do that to his own daughter?!" he started blabbering. I rubbed his back softly, to make him feel less scared. I almost died? That's when it hit me. And I remembered what Stan did to me. I looked over his shoulder and saw that I was in a hospital. "He really almost killed me?!" I whispered, thinking Lou couldn't hear me. He pulled away, tears staining his face with anger and confusion mixed in his eyes. "Uh......... I don't remember?" I say. Hopefully, he'll believe it. Sadly, with my luck, he didn't. Now he was really mad, probably because I wasn't telling him.

He put his hands on my elbows. His hands felt warm, or I guess my skin was cold. "Who did it?! Who hurt you Jo?" He asked more softly.

"It was some guy. I don't know who, he was drunk, I think." I say quietly. But he detects my lie.

"Some random guy couldn't have gotten in your neighborhood that easily. It was someone on the inside. And I know you know them." he said looking straight into my eyes. I decide to confess to him. I don't have anyone else. Anyways, he won't be able to do anything..... I start to say,"It was my—" They door opened.

"I informed the doctor of your awake. He says he will be here in a few. Until then, you may rest. Your father has come to see how you feel. Shall I send him in?" asked the nurse. I didn't even realise she left. Heck! I didn't even know she was here when I woke up. She was in her late thirties. She looked like those strict history teachers. I nodded hesitantly. Stan entered. He gave Lou a look that said beat it kid. He walked out and gave me sad look.

Once he was out of earshot, Stan gave me a look and started the long, painful scolding.

Louis's POV

I never knew the hospital walls were so thin. Or my hearing was so good. Everyone walked past the room like nothing was wrong. I heard him yelling at her for being so weak, and how she let her ribs be broken. The nerve he has! Thats when I realized, he was the one who hurt her. And he still had the nerve to yell at her for no reason. That dude is gonna get it good, Louis style!

Just so you know, Harry left yesterday night because I begged him to. He looked like hell. I probably looked even more horrific than him. He said he'll come back in the morning if I wanted. I told him I was fine. I told him not to come. And, thankfully, he listened.

It's weird. Since I could remember, I could hear and see things other people couldn't. Like now. Back to the present. That arse was harrasing her and threatening her and stuff. I see ashley, Jo's personal nurse, coming to give her the reports.

Small Intro For Ashley: She is surprisingly a good nurse and goes to NYDA. She is in my third and fifth periods apparently. She is really helpful and kind. I suspect that Hazza has a huge crush on her, but sadly she has a boyfriend.

So, I grab her arm and drag her down the hallway. Even then I could hear the screaming and shouting. "Hey. Its an emergency. Tell Jo's dad that he can't discharge her untill tomorrow. Trust me" I tell her. I must've looked desperate and halfway mad, because reluctantly she said yes and went to give the news. I heard her knock, go in, tell them, and leave. I watch from the corner as he shouts at her then says he'll come back tomorrow, 7:00 pm sharp.

As soon as he turns the corner, I run, fast, into her room. When I see her, my heart breaks.
Wait. I don't have feelings for her.------No. I cant deny them anymore.------Ok, I have a small crush on her------FINE! I have a huge crush on her! Happy brain?!

Arabelle's POV

He just left. Stan left and he hurt me even more. About three seconds later, maybe less, Lou bursts in. I didnt even have to look up, to know it was him. I couldnt let him see my tears. I'll look weak, and he will give me his pity and leave. Just like everyone else. But I couldn't stop the salt water coming down in rivers. I was surprised when he just hugged me and said,"He won't hurt you anymore. I won't let him." I let that sink, then I looked up at him with wide-eyes.

"How--how do you--you know?" I say, genuinly surprised.

"I-uh--heard it.... Only some of it though. But, he hurt for a long time, right?" he said, timidly. Since he found out about half the story, and he seemed genuinly mad and sad for me, I spilled everything. Everything from Leo, to dad, to Stan, to even Rachel. I spilled everything and it felt good. Like the world was off my shoulders, and then I realized that I was crying, silently. When I finished, he pulled me into a hug, and said,"And, I will keep it a secret, until you want someone else to know. Now go to sleep. You have to go home tomorrow, but I will save you from that arse. Cause you're my best friend. And once you get home, call me the moment he tries anything. I will come and bash his head until he sees stars. But for now, go to sleep, and forget about all your problems." He softly kissed the top of my head, which sent tingly feelings all over me. I fell asleep leaning on his chest. I was vaguely aware of when he put me down and gave me kiss on the forhead. "Thank you Lou...You're the best friend ever" I mumbled before I went down under. While I went to sleep, I thought of the memories of how I felt when I was in his arms, hoping I could dream of that. Safe.........
