--CHAPTER 3--

JUSTIN'S POV

"NOOOOOOO!!" That's the only word I could understand. I heard lots of yelling in the hallway but I couldn't tell who it was or what they were saying. After a couple of minutes the screaming stopped. There were still voices but they were calmer.

I tried to open my eyes to see who it was, but my lids wouldn't lift, it was like they were 100 lbs to heavy. I heard someone come in and sit next to me. They took my hand, kissed it, and I think they started crying. I tried to speak but my mouth wouldn't open, something in the back of my mind kept saying, 'no not yet'. I didn't argue, I was to exhausted and my head was killing me, so I went back to sleep.

When I woke up (my mind only, my lids still wouldn't open) I felt someone lying next to me. It was a man, I could tell because his 5-a-clock shadow was scratching my hand he had held against his face. He had his arms wrapped around my midsection and it felt good. He woke up shortly after I did and started to speak, "Justin, are you awake, Justin" A lump formed in my throat, was it really him? Yes it was I could recognize that voice anywhere. It was Brian.

I was so overjoyed that it was him that I opened my eyes with ease now, something told me my body was waiting for him. I was expecting to see the familiar blue lights of the loft, and that beautiful chestnut hair pressed against my naked chest. But, when I looked around that is not what I found at all. I was in a hospital bed, in a hospital room, wearing a hospital gown, what was going on? I looked over at Brian, his head was on my chest, and I saw that gorgeous hair, but something was wrong, why was he wearing a tux?

I spoke, lips not resisting either, "Brian?" He didn't hear me. I shook him a little and spoke louder, "Brian?" His head snapped up and I saw those wonderful brown eyes. They were slowly filling with tears, what was going on Brian doesn't cry. He spoke "Oh my god Justin" he said it so low it was like a whisper. He put his head back on my chest soaking my gown with tears and squeezing me so tight I couldn't breathe. "Brian" I gasped, "Need air, not breathing." He loosened his grip and looked back up at me. "Sorry" he sobbed while wiping away tears. "Brian why am I in a hospital and why are you wearing a tux?" I looked down at the tux again and saw that is was covered in blood. " A BLOODY TUX!! OH MY GOD BRIAN ARE YOU OK?" He looked worried, "Yeah yeah Sunshine I'm fine, the blood's not mine." I was confused and my head hurt like hell. "Brian my head hurts, I'm in a hospital room, and you are wearing a blood covered tux, what the FUCK is going on?" He sighed and looked up at me after swallowing he finally said this, "Justin what is the last thing you remember happening to you?"
