I own nothing.


Collins and Angel were walking home from their date. They were having a good day they made up for a fight they recently had and there was no people openly harassing them. Angel was wearing the flower mini skirt that Collins just loved. They made their way up to their apartment once inside the sat on the couch and started to make out. Collins was practically on top of her when he heard noise.

He looked up "Did you hear that?"

"There is no blood going to my ears" Angel giggled she was buzzed.

He heard it again it sounded like a scream he sat up "I'll be right back."

"Should I go?"

"No stay here."

He went out into the stairwell and saw a guy beating a girl. Collins started to run down the started to run down the stairs not knowing if it was a rape, a mugging, or a bully but he didn't care he had to stop it. If the superintendent would have been around he could have stopped this. The super is a nice guy who treats all the people who live there with respect unlike benny. Anyway Collins got down there and pushed the guy out of the way. The girl sank to the floor crying and bleeding.

"Are you okay?" he asked but before she could answer the guy came over and punched him.

They got into a fight, now the other apartment tenants came out to see what was going on. Immediately one called 911 while others ran down to help. The guy banged Collins head against the wall yelling at him to mind his own business when the people reached them. Collins sank to the floor unconscious; Angel was still on the couch unaware and worried.

"Where is he?" she checked her watch again he had been gone for 15 minutes.

She finally got up and walked out into the stairwell and looked down. On the bottom floor there were police and paramedics but most importantly there was Collins on a stretcher. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could and pushed past the wall of people.

"I'm sorry I can't let you through" a cop stopped her.

"But that's my boyfriend" she pointed past him to the stretcher being wheeled out.

"Ok but hurry."

Angel got into the ambulance really freaked out this was the first time he was ever admitted to a hospital. When they arrived they made her fill out paper work in the waiting room. After that she called everyone and told them to hurry. They arrived quickly and saw her starring off into space Mimi ran up to her.

"Oh my god Angel what happened?" She hugged Angel.

"I don't know they won't tell me anything" the drag queen broke down.

"It's ok everything's gonna be fine" Roger said.

She looked up "how do you know?"

He was at a loss for words they all sat in different seats and waited for 38 minutes before a doctor came with information.

"It's a head injury obviously: hair line fractures."

"Will there be any permanent damage?" Joanne asked.

"Well with head injuries it's hard to tell but with as bad as that… maybe memory loss or possibly coma we are not too sure. You are allowed to see him room 1224."

They hurried off and walked into the room they sat around the bed and waited. They were hoping that Collins would wake up soon. After a few minutes there was light tapping on the door.

"Come in!" Maureen shouted and a bruised and cut up girl walked in.

"Um.. is this the room of the man that saved me?" she asked.

They all looked to Angel who nodded "Yes but he's not awake" she motioned to him.

"Well I have to head out of here soon but I just wanted to thank him for saving my life" she looked to her hand. "I brought flowers I never meant for anyone to get hurt it's just Kevin gets like that sometimes."

"If he treats you like that why are you still with him" Mimi asked.

"Well not anymore he got arrested and it was never this bad… anyway my sister is here I have to go."

"Ok bye" Angel put the flowers in a vase.

As soon as she shut the door Collins shifted he was waking up! They all moved in closer. Collins opened his eyes everything was blurry but in a second it all became clear. He sat up his head was killing him Angel threw her arm around him and kissed his cheek.

"Oh my god Collins you're ok! You had me so worried!" he didn't hug her back he just gave them a confused look.

Angel let go "Are you ok?"

"Yeah and I don't mean to be rude but who are you? All of you?" Collins asked.
