"Get him to the ICU! NOW!" I start hyperventilating as my heart monitor speeds up. I hear a girl yelling causing my to turn my head back slightly to see her crying. Tears build in my eyes because this could be the last time I see her, and I brought this upon us. I had to start doing shit I know I shouldn't have done.
Now Darcy has to suffer as she stands there crying over me as Will comforts her.
I am pushed into an elevator with three doctors and a nurse, the nurse pumping air into my lungs, running her gloved hand through my hair, telling me it is all going to be okay and to hang in there. I look at her for a moment, my chest raising up and down as I try to catch my breathes, failing, as my breathes come out raspy.
I look away, my eyes slowly turning up towards the cieling of the elevator. Suddenly, my eyelids grow heavy. As I close them, the sounds around me become hazy and dull.

"Dan?!" I hear someone yell which is followed by a slap.
"Kyle! Shu'up!" I hear someone else whisper yell.
"Ow, god damn, Woody!" Then footsteps get closer and closer. I can hear everything, but I can't see it.
"Daniel. Wake up." Then I recognize Will's voice ordering me to wake up, "Dan. Wake. Up. God damn it."
"I would," I tell myself, "I am just to tired."
"Sir," I hear a woman consult Will, "He can't wake up at the moment, we have him on pain medications as sleeping medications. He should wake up soon though." Then I hear her walk off. Will sighs, and I hear three pairs of feet walk away, leaving me alone in the silence. The only thing breaking it is the beeping of my heart monitor.

"Oh my god, guys! He's awake!" I hear Darcy shout as I slowly open my eyes, the light automatically blinding me. I watch as Darcy, Kyle, Will, and Woody rush to my side, giving me a tight hug, causing me to yelp in pain. Doctors rush in, pulling them off of me.
"We are incredibally sorry," my main doctor, Dr. Wilkonson, states, "But we are going to have to ask you guys to leave. Our patient is in too much pain at the moment to be . . . uhm . . . hugged." My other doctor, Dr. Heavens, escorts them out of the room, only giving me time to glance into Darcy's blue eyes.

"Hello, Daniel," A husky male voice awakens me. My eyes grow wide as he pulls off my mask that was helping me breath. I am fine for about a minute until I start gasping for air. He chuckles to himself as he peers at thw scar on the side of my stomach, "Aw," He sticks out his bottom lip, "Should I make it bigger? Or, are you going to give me the money, faggot. Oh. So, you're not going to give me the money you owe me? Fine by me." He shrugs pulling out a switch blade.
I try reaching out for my oxygen mask, but he pulls it away further from me, "Not so fast, Smith," He says placing a hand on my back as he leans in to whisper into my ear, "She's mine." He whispers as he plunges the switch blade near my heart. He twists it before fleeing and leaving the blade in my chest as the oxygen masks dangles from the side of the bed, a atream of oxygen seeping out of it silently.
