~Chapter 1~

I never thought that my life could be like this. So much drama has gone on the last month. It started on the 1st of December, when my best friend asked me to watch her man. Jack Mercer was shot and put in intensive care. The reason is because of her father. That bastard. Lyric told me all about him one night when we got drunk together. I don't think she meant to tell me about her past ever. She likes to keep that part of her life out of her present. I don't blame her, either. But I watched Jack for her while she took care of her business. Which meant dealing with her father.

I'm sitting in the chair, flipping through a magazine. I'm reading this article, when I hear someone groan. I look up and look at Jack. I see his eyes blinking open. I get up and walk over to the bed. I look down at Jack.

"Lyric?" Jack voice croaks.

"Sorry, sweetie, not Lyric. She has business to take care of but she'll be here soon. Don't talk yet. I'll go get the doctor. When I come back I'll give you some water." I say. He nods his head.

I walk out to get a nurse to a doctor. When I come back into the room I pour Jack a cup of ice water. I put a straw in it. I walk back over to Jack to he can drink some. When I think it's enough, I pull the cup away.

Just then the doctor and the nurse walk in. He asks me to step out. I walk out of the room to give them some privacy. I'm standing next to the door when the doctor comes back out. I ask him how's Jack doing.

"Mr. Mercer, I'd have to say is a miracle. He shouldn't be alive but it's like he was fighting against something. He's making a nice recovery but he's going to have to take it slow. He shouldn't do any activity that will have him physically exert himself."

I look at the door. "More like he had something to fight for."I think to myself. But I say out loud. "Thanks, Dr. Hawthorne." I say. He nods then turns and walks down the hall.

I walk back in the room. I sit back down in my chair. I look over at Jack.

"Where's Lyric?" He asks.

"She had to take care of some business." I say going around the question. "She'll be here soon. How are you feeling? I ask.

"Good, as can be expected. I don't want to be rude but who are you?" He asks as confusion shows on his face.

"Well, I am Isiss but only a select few call me Ice for short."

"I remember you. Lyric told me how you guys met during her senior year and that you've been best friends ever since." He says.

"That's correct. And you are Jack Mercer. The youngest one of the infamous Mercer brothers. Also, you're the one who's stolen my best friend's heart." I say with a smile on my face as I look at Jack to see what his reaction is going to be.

"You know, she told me she loves me. And that I needed to fight for us. I knew at that moment that I never wanted to fight so hard for something in my entire life." He says.

"Well, if that speech didn't convince me that you love her, the emotion that I see in your eyes sure did."

"I do love her. More than I though I could ever love someone that wasn't my brothers or my mother." He says with so much conviction and truth in his words.

"I'm glad. But as the best friend I have to say this. If you hurt her, I will personally kick your ass."

He laughs. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Just then, the door opens. I look up to see Lyric walk in but she stares at Jack. She gasps. I can see the tears well up in her eyes. She runs over to the bed and hugs Jack tight. Jack groans and she lets go just as quickly.

"I told you I wasn't going to leave you." Jack tells her. I watch as he tears fall down. He reaches out and grabs her hand. He brings her so she can lay down next to him.

She looks up at me. "Thanks for staying with him, Ice." She says and I smile when she uses my nickname.

"Girl, you know I would do anything for you. Besides, me and your man were just talking since this is our first time meeting with each other. Even though I have to say you were right about him. He is sweet."

She blushes and turns back to look at Jack, who's grinning from ear to ear.

"What are you smiling about?" She asks him but before he answers, I stand up from my seat.

"Wait, before you answer. I'll go let the others know Jack's awake and alright. I'll leave you two alone and give you some privacy." I say walking towards the door.

"Thanks, Ice." Lyrics calls to me. I smile at her but continue walking out of the room. I walk down to the waiting room. I open the door and stop in my tracks as soon as I see him.

There sitting in one of the chairs, watching the hockey game on the T.V. is the man that has haunted my high school and even adult fantasies.

Bobby Mercer.

God, I'd never thought I'd see him again. Okay, well I knew I'd see him. Especially, since Jack and Lyric are together. I just never thought it'd be this soon. Actually, it's been almost eight years since I've seen him. I can't believe I'm seeing him again after all these years. I look around and see Angel and Sophia sitting in the corner of the room. Ok, Isiss, you are a grown woman now. Not some teenager with a high school crush. You can do this. I think to myself.

"The Mercers?" I say loud enough to get there attention.

Angel and Sophia look over at me and stand up. Bobby looks up from the tv. He sees me standing there. I don't know why but there's still something about Bobby that draws me in. He gets up from he's seat and walks over to where I'm standing.

"So, how's my little brother doing?" Bobby asks.

I take a deep breath. "He's fine. The doctor says that he is going to need rest and that he shouldn't do anything that will physically exert himself. He's awake now." I say.

"I'm going to go see him. Angel, you can take Sofi home and get some rest."

"I don't think right now would be a good idea. Let Lyric and Jack spend some time alone."

"I just want to see him."

"I get that. But you also need to realize that haven't seen each other for almost two days. In those two days, Lyric had to watch Jack get shot, watch him lay in a bed with tubes coming from every which way. And before you say anything, I know you've done the same thing but they are together. They have something special and you shouldn't go in and ruin their moment."

"Bobby, maybe she's right. You can wait to see Jack." Angel says hoping to make him see some type of sense.

"No, I want to see him now. Besides, I don't think firecracker would mind if I just stop in." Bobby says. Then he walks around me and out the door. I groan and run out to stop him.

"Bobby, just let them have there alone time. Don't go in that room." I say but he doesn't even look back to acknowledge me. He just keeps walking in the room. We walk into the room and Jack nor Lyric seem to notice us. As we watch the scene in front of us.

"That was amazing." Lyric say and I can hear the smile in her voice.

"No." Jack says. "This moment is perfect." He says. I smile at the two of them. Just before there about to kiss again, someone clear their throat. I look over at Bobby ready to slap him upside the head. I look over and see Lyric pointing her gun at Bobby. She didn't even have to turn around. I see her eyes are still on Jack.

"Whoever, just did that must have a death wish. I don't know why you just did that. Speak before I put a bullet in you." Lyric says no taking her eyes off Jack.

"Whoa, firecracker. I just wanted to see my little brother. Didn't mean to interrupt your moment." Bobby says. Trying to look innocent but that bullshit didn't convince me.

"I told you not to. But you had to be stubborn and do it anyway."I hiss at Bobby. I guess at my voice Lyrics decides to put her gun up before she moves to Jack's other side. She looks at me and Bobby.

She turns to look at me.

"Hey, little fairy. Are you okay?" Bobby asks walking over to the bed.

"Yeah, man. I'm alright. Great, actually." Jack says as he winks at Lyric. I wonder what that's all about. I think to myself. "I'm ready to get out of this hospital though. I wanna go home." I see Lyric looking down all of a sudden.

"As soon as the doctor says you can go we will go." Lyric tells him.

Just then the nurse walks in.

"I'm sorry but visitor's hours are over." She says and just as quickly she walks back out.

"I'll be back tomorrow. I'll even bring you some real clothes." Lyric says as gets off the bed and I can tell she does it reluctantly.

"I'll miss you." Jack says with a sad look on his face.

"Oh, stop with all this lovey dovey stuff. Stop being such a girl with all this sentimental crap." Bobby says and from what he says directing his statement towards Jack.

"I think that it's sweet." I say from my spot near the door.

"You know what, Bobby? You should take after your little brother." Lyric says but I decide to finish it for her.

"You might learn something. You could learn a lot from him."

"Whatever, let's get out of here." Bobby says stalking past me and straight out the door. I look over at Lyric and she gives me a sympathetic smile. She leans down to kiss Jack on the forehead before walking to my spot by the door. She turns back to Jack.

"I'll miss you, too." She says before we both walk out the door.

I leave right after Angel, Sophia, Lyric and Bobby leave the hospital.

Once I get to my house, I park into my garage. Thankful to find a house with a garage. Especially, since it started snowing again. I look up at the apartment. I really need to find someone to rent it out. I walk out of the garage and walk into my house.

I turn my heat on as I can feel my house start to heat up. I change into my flannel pajama pants and a long sleeved top. I crawl into my bed as I feel myself fall into a dream-filled sleep. But this one staring the one person that hasn't been there in a long time.

Bobby Mercer.
