No POV
Adam Jensen, Blake Davis' ex-boyfriend came back to claim Blake as his own once again, and in a fit of rage, shot his current boyfriend Eli White in the head.
His parents got a call from a frantic Jake Ryan; that their son was in critical condition, barely holding onto life. Blake was given a moderate sedative, too hysterical to give an intelligible answer. He was also to be put under suicide watch if Eli died.
After calling Eli's parents, Jake took his girlfriend, Kimi Hill, home. He worried that her being under stress might harm their unborn babies' lives.
Eli went into emergency surgery, and was under the knife for seven hours, and was rushed into the ICU and put on multiple IVs, tubes and monitors. It was a success, but there was a severe chance for brain damage or death by infection.
When Blake woke up from the sedative, his heart was aching and he wanted to die. His whole world was gone, and it was all because of him, all because he had to love Eli and for Eli to love him.
Eli's father's POV
My son could die. He was shot. How could this have happened? He's just a kid, just a sixteen-year-old kid. I'm a wreck, so is his mother. That boyfriend of his, Blake, he's even worse. All he does is sit there next to Eli, holding his hand, refusing to eat or sleep or anything.
I tried a few times to persuade him to come and eat something with the rest of us, but he always says no, he's not hungry. I think I may have been too hard on the boy, thinking selfishly and not considering their point of view. I realize that mistake now, far too late to be of any use.
The cops told me that that boy Adam, Blake's ex-boyfriend was aiming for Blake, but Eli got in the way, always the protector. That kid has too soft a heart. I always told him to toughen up, but I guess he just tuned me out during those lectures.
I wonder sometimes if he's going to die, Eli, I mean, and what Blake will do if he does. Chances are, with the way he's been acting lately, he'll commit suicide in some way. Then we'll have to bury two teenage boys way before their time. I swear, if Eli makes it through this alive and okay, I'll never comment on his being gay ever again.
I just want my son back.
Blake's father's POV
So. My son got that stupid kid shot. Maybe he didn't pull the trigger, but he made that kid get shot by not breaking up with him when I stabbed him. It's not like I'd help him even if I was home. I'm currently in jail. So is my wife.
Whatever. He belongs in hell.
Blake's POV
Eli, come back to me. Come back and love me, be with me, stay with me. I want to hold you again, I want to make you mine and be inside you again. If you die, I die as well. That's a promise. Please come back. I can't live without you in my life.
I feel so guilty for letting this happen to you, for letting Adam do this to us. I had no idea he'd resort to attempting to commit murder. All I thought is he would try to tear us apart. Your parents are worrying; you know that, don't you? So am I. I love you so much, and maybe that's why it happened.
How can I ever forgive myself for what happened to you? You might die, my love. Your friends are worrying, too. Keep my love and use it as a revival for your life.
Revive and come back to me. Okay?
I love you.
I miss you.
Come back to me.
