For days and days Jack sat beside Brooke's bed. He wished and hoped and prayed to any God who would listen. He wanted her to wake up, he wanted to explain, he wanted to make things right. He wanted to be with her, he loved her. Periodically Jack would leave for an hour or so to get food with Evelyn and Mr. Roberts would take over. Mr. Roberts didn't blame Jack, he knew it was an accident, he hoped it was one at least. After a week the ex Mrs. Roberts, Brooke's mum, now Mrs. Storm came to visit. She was a tall, thin woman with long golden blonde hair that flowed when she walked, a great smile and honey brown eyes. If Jack hadn't of known she was Brooke's mum, and a lesbian he would have been very attracted. "Oh Frankie, how is she?" she said as she floated to the bedside. "il mio angelo" she whispered over and over again. (it means my angel in Italian) Mr. Roberts put his hand on his ex. Wife's shoulders. "I know she'll pull through Guinevere" Mrs. Storm cried into his chest. Jack felt he was intruding on a personal moment, from what Brooke had told him they hated each other, after a world-wind romance and then years of false love there was tension. But they forgot it all, forgave all sins for a moment, because their daughter was sick. Jack smiled at the strangely kind looking woman. "You are Jack?" she asked. Jack nodded, she extended her hand. "I'm Guinevere Storm, call me Gwen, you're the boy friend?" Jack hesitated. He looked away. "The ex I think." She looked at him, puzzled by his remark, but as she was about to ask when Everett and Wade came running in. "MUM!" they shouted as they hugged their long-lost mother. Jack got up and left, it was family time, he could see that clearly.

He went to the cafeteria to get some food. It had been over 10 hours since his last meal of coffee and Lays chips. On his way he ran into Hayden. He looked untidy and upset-he had a teddy bear and flowers in his hand. He saw Jack and weakly smiled. "Hey." He said, Jack nodded "How is she?" Jack didn't want Hayden to be here. Jack wanted to be the first person Lily saw when she woke up, he wanted her to remember why they were love, and he wanted to not be broken up. "She's still in a coma." Hayden frowned. Jack noticed a giant card in his back pocket. Hayden smiled "all the cheerleaders and the entire rugby and hockey team signed it. We all want her better…mostly I do." Jack wanted to beat this loser to a pulp. "What are you like in love with her?" Jack asked. Hayden looked shocked. "What? No…no, we're friends; she's such an amazing person. It's kinda like, I'm afraid that if we become more, we'll break up and I'll loose her, and I'd rather have her as a friend then not at all….does that make sense?"

Hayden was grinning like a fool, it made Jack sick. "You're talking about my girl friend." Hayden looked at him and frowned, Hayden pitied Jack, he was so in love with Brooke, yet she wasn't that into him. Brooke had told Hayden of her second thoughts on the relationship. "Right…" Hayden sighed. Jack wanted to freak. "Why do you care about her? You're a popular ass, she's better than you." Hayden laughed. "She is. I know, she's great, she's popular at heart, and she fits in perfectly with everyone. We have so much in common, same favourite hockey teams, rugby teams, not football teams, but that makes life interesting right? She's so just awesome, she's got so much to say, I love to hear her talk." Jack raised his hand and made a fist to punch him, but he slowly lowered it. He didn't really talk to Brooke, we he talked a lot, she was always so curious about him….she didn't really talk about herself that much. When Jack wasn't talking, they were fooling around…Jack felt like a selfish moron. What did he really know about the girl he claimed to love so much? Hayden went to walk away but Jack stopped him. "Her families there, her mum and stuff, just wait." Hayden half frowned, half smiled. "Her mum's here? That's awesome; she came all the way from Italy, that's great." Jack got angry, she had told Hayden about her mum? What hadn't she told this loser?

Jack's anger boiled inside of him. Hayden put his stuff down on a chair and went to sit down. "I hope I brought the right colour lilies, I know they're her favourite, right?" Jack looked at Hayden, he honestly had no idea. Jack always gave her roses. That was the last straw, who did this prick think he was? Jack spazed, weeks of anger unleashed on an unsuspecting Hayden. First Jack punched Hayden in the nose, its started to bleed, after Hayden took a moment to comprehend what had just happened he punch Jack in the lip, then the fight began. Jack was punching, Hayden was blocking, then Hayden wrapped his arms around Jack and tackled him to the ground. Jack flipped Hayden over on to his back, then smoked his head on a chair. Hayden wrapped his hands around Jacks neck, Jack's grip got loose around Hayden's arms, Hayden then flipped them over, but Jack got loose and punched Hayden in the face a few times, Hayden retaliated. They were swearing at each other the entire time, Hayden yelled "she never loved you" Jack yelled "you're a fucking prep." Soon two nurses came up to beak them up. Jack's lip was cut and he had lost a bottom tooth, and so was his left eyebrow, he could barely see out of that eye. Hayden's nose was broken in two places, and he had two black eyes, both extremely hard to see out of. The nurses took them into different rooms to get cleaned up, and both nurses gave them shit.

Evelyn came in and sat down while Jack was getting stitches over his eye, and getting his knuckle bandaged. "Bobby will want to hear about this." She said as she looked at Jack. There was sadness in her eyes, disappointment, and a little pride. "Jackie, Jackie, haven't I taught you better?" Jack looked to the ground. He knew his mum was angry, he knew he shouldn't have started the fight, but he was proud to finish it. "Sorry mum, but he was—" "Save it." Evelyn cut him off and stood up, the nurses left. Evelyn raised his chin and examined his face. "Your tooth is gone, you'll need a fake one, and your eye is damaged pretty bad." "You should see the other guy." Jack joked, Evelyn tried not to smile. "Use your words next time. I don't care if you think he's stealing Brooke." Jack looked at Evelyn in shock. "How'd you know?" She laughed. "Honey you were yelling, the whole hospital knows." Jack frowned. "Now son, Jackie, Jack look at me. Once Brooke wakes up you can straighten the whole thing up, but until then she needs all the love she can get. So settle this disagreement so you both can be there for her. She needs you-Both of you. Please go and apologise." Jack looked in terror at his mother. "No. No. I'm not a kid anymore, I will not." Evelyn just looked at Jack, he stared back at her then frowned. "Fine." He stood up and went to Hayden's room.

Hayden was lying on the bed having the nurse bandage his nose, it looked pretty bad. Hayden's knuckles were bleeding too, both his eyes were black and blue, and had a large cut under one, he could barely open it. "Sorry man." Jack said as he approached Hayden. "Me too." He replied. They sat in silence for a bit. "How's Brooke?" Hayden asked. Jack shrugged, the nurse left to get some prescriptions for Hayden. "Let's go find out." Jack said, Hayden sat up, it took him a bit to stand, he had gotten a minor concussion. "Shit, sorry." He said to Jack, he noticed there wear purple bruises around Jack's neck. Jack shrugged again.
"I've had worse." They arrived at Brooke's room, Everett and Wade were sitting watching TV and Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Storm were talking in the corner; Brooke was still asleep. "Holy shit! What happened?—sorry, excuse my language." Mr. Roberts said as he saw the boys. "So you two were the commotion in the hall we heard, are you alright?" Mrs. Storm asked. "Fine." They both said. "Was this over Brooke?" she asked. They both avoided her gaze, and shrugged. The twins were so shocked and excited. They wanted the play by play, but both of the boys didn't want to talk about it. They sat down on either side of Brooke. "C'mon boys, lets get dinner." Mrs. Storm said, the twins got up and left. "You too Frank" the family walked out, watching their daughter with two boys who were crazy about her.
