Three days later
Cody walked into Randy's room and saw John sleep at the foot of his bed. He walked over to him and woke him up. "Dad wake up."
John sat up and looked up at his son. "Aren't you suppose to be in school?"
Cody smiled "Like I'm going to leave you here. Dad I think that you should come home with me."
"I'm not going to leave him!" John yelled.
"You're not leaving him forever!" Cody yelled back "You haven't ate or slept since he got here. I told the nurse that if anything happens to call us."
John sighed "Cody?"
"He's not going anywhere but you are." Cody held out his hand. "Please."
John sighed and got up. With one more look back at Randy he left with his son.
Cody and John entered their house.
"You go shower and I make you something to eat." Cody said heading to the kitchen.
"Okay." John said heading to the master bedroom.
An hour later
John walked into the kitchen to find Cody sitting at the table eating. He sat down across from him and started to eat.
John ate almost four plates of food and was soon exhausted. He went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
The next morning
John woke up and looked at his clock. It was six-fifty. He got out of bed and went to the living room. Cody was sitting on the couch watching TV. "Cody?"
"I'm scared." Cody said still looking at the TV.
John walked over to him and sat down next to him. "So am I but everything will be okay."
Cody looked over at John. What are we going to do?"
John shook his head. "I don't know but he's going to pull through this."
Cody wiped his face "But what if he doesn't? "
John turned to Cody. "Listen to me when I say that everything is going to be okay. He wrapped his arm around Cody's shoulder. "Why don't you go to school?"
"Are you sure?" Cody asked.
John nodded "Yeah I'll call you if anything changes."
Cody nodded "Alright." He got up and started to walk off but stopped. "Just get some rest okay. I don't want anything to happen to you to."
"Promise." John said.
Once Cody was gone John went back to the bedroom and went to sleep.
Flashback
"Man I must be the luckiest man on earth." John said.
Randy smiled and looked up at John. "Why do you say that?"
John kissed randy on the head. "Because I have you in my arms."
Randy chuckled "I love you."
John kissed Randy "I love you too."
End
Randy tried to open his eyes but the light was too bright. He tried to talk but his voice was dry.
Nurse Donna came in to check on him when she saw him moving. "Randare you okay?"
"Water" Randy croaked out.
The nurse left and came back with a cup of water and a straw.
Randy drunk the whole glass. "What happened?"
"You were beaten pretty badly and you've been out for a few days.' She walked over to the window and closed the curtains. "Your family has been worried sick about you."
"Where are they?" Randy said.
"John has been sitting in here ever since you were brought in. your son Cody finally convinced him to go home and get some rest." She walked back over to Randy's bed.
"Yeah that sounds like him." Randy said pushing a button that lifts his bed. "Can you call him please?"
The nurse smiled "Sure."
OOO
John was half asleep when his phone rang. He jumped up. "Hello?"
"John your husband is awake and he's asking for you." She said.
John jumped up. ""Tell him that I'm on my way."'
John walked into Randy's room with a huge smile on his face. "Randy?"
Randy's right eye was almost swollen shut but he could see John walking toward him smiling with his other one. "Hey Johnny boy."
John rushed over to him. "Oh god I'm o glad you're awake. You have no idea how scared I've been."
"Sorry." Randy said.
"Next time don't be a hero and when I say I'm coming to get you I am." John ran his fingers through Randy's short hair. "How are you feeling?"
"Sore but glad to see you." Randy looked around "Where's Cody?"
"He's been cooped up in here for days so I told him to go to school.." John pulled up a chair next to the bed.
"And what about you?" Randy said taking John's hand.
"I was at the foot of your bed until Cody got me to go home. I showered, ate and slept lie I hadn't in ages. John sighed "I just thought if I left you something would happen to you." He looked down "Can you tell me what happened?"
Randy sighed "I was walking home when I saw three guys harassing this woman in an alley."
Do you remember anything about them." John asked.
"Just what they called each other." Randy said.
The door suddenly opened and in walked Cody. "Dad you're woke."
"I'll tell you later." Randy said and turned to Cody. "Don't you suppose to be in school?"
Cody pulled up a chair. "The nurse called me so I came back."
"How are you son?" Randy asked.
Cody smiled "You're the one in here dad not me but I'm alright. How about you?"
"Better now" Randy said.
"I hate it when you do this." John said. "You can't save everyone."
Randy sighed "I know and I'm sorry."
John sighed "We love you."
Randy smiled "I love you guys too."
