Ruby's POV-
I walked down the hall in the hospital, Kenickie's arm wrapped around me. We found room 162 and I looked inside to see Danny lying there.
"You ok?" Kenickie asked me before walking in. I just shook my head. Kenickie bent down so his head was level with mine and hugged me. "It'll all be ok in the end Ruby, I'll make sure of it."
We walked in and Danny was unconcious on the bed. Kenickie pulled the chair and placed it right next to the bed. He sat down in it, and I handed a sleeping Katie to him, I crawled onto the bed and snuggled into him.
I hugged his arm and cried silently into his shoulder. I fell asleep almost instantly.
-The Next Morning-
"Was she alright last night?" I heard Danny ask Kenickie as I woke up. I let go of Danny's arm and hugged him tightly.
"Danny! You're ok!" I hugged him tighter and tighter, and I never wanted to let him go.
"Hey Ruby-Red." Danny said before kissing my head.
"You had me so scared!" I exclaimed.
"Well, I'm sorry sweetie." He said softly. "Now we gotta talk about you." I sighed. "When did it start."
"When I was five." I whispered.
"Did it happen a lot?" He asked.
"Whenever you weren't home."
"And, what's happening at school?"
"I have no friends, I get bullied, and it happens at dance too." I admit.
"Ruby, I'm sorry." Danny started to cry. I had never seen Danny cry before, it scared me, I started to cry too.
"You two are cute." Kenickie said laughing slightly. Danny started laughing too and sniffing back tears.
"Yeah, we are pretty cute." Danny said smiling at me. "I love you baby sis."
"I love you too." I say.
"Do you know when I'm allowed to leave Kenickie?" Danny asked.
"Tomorrow." Kenickie said,"Ruby, you coming home with me tonight?"
"I don't wanna go." I said snuggling into Danny.
"You can stay here sweetie." Danny said stroking my hair.
"Well, I'm gonna go get brekfast, Ruby you want something?" Kenickie asked.
"Yes please." I say. Kenickie leaves, carrying a still sleeping Katie, and I snuggle closer into Danny.
"The cut on your chin, what's it really from?" Danny asked.
"Mom puzhed me into the counter." I whispered.
"I should've figured this out baby girl, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault Danny." I say.
"You're so cute, you know that?" I giggled in reply and Danny smiled at me. Danny could always make me feel safe and that was all I needed right now.
"Can we watch TV?" I ask, Danny turns the TV on in reply.
I hug Danny and watch the TV.
