Alyssa's POV
Tears streamed down my face as everyone else that had gone with us sat in the waiting room and Bob was in solitary confinement. I leaned on Frank's shoulder and his arm was tightly around me. "This is all my fault." I said through my tears.
"No, it's not, Lys." He said. "That's her job, she wasn't gonna let you get hurt."
"Yeah, I would've done the same thing if it was Lacey." Hayley said as Lacey leaned on her shoulder.
"You think she'll be okay?" I asked hoping my tears stopped for a minute. Of course they didn't, Amy was in the hospital with a bullet in her shoulder all because of me.
"There's no way she'll die, it was minor compared to what could've happened." Gerard said.
Mikey sat in a corner not saying anything just sadly staring at the ground. "I-I never meant for this to happen." I said more tears coming down my face.
"We know you didn't Alyssa, you didn't know that bullet was gonna come your way." Lacey said.
The door opened and a different doctor came out with guess what? A clipboard. "Is everyone here for Ms. Lee?" He asked.
I sat up and everyone nodded. "She's avaliable to see now but only one person can see her at a time." He said.
"Alyssa?" Frank asked. "Are you gonna go?" He asked.
I nodded and stood up walking towards the door. I sighed and walked into the infirmary with the doctor. I ignored Emily completly as he lead me into a private room. Amy layed in a normal hospital bed with an I.V attached to her wrist. A heart moniter sat beside her beeping at an irregular slow rate. Her long black hair lay sprawled out on the pillow beside her and she lay there looking more dead than ever.
I walked over by the side of her bed and clutched onto the railing. "Is she gonna make it?" I asked.
"There's a 100% chance she'll have a speedy recovery though. The medication we gave her during the operation should wear off in a minute, so she'll wake up soon. I'll leave you two alone." He turned and walked out shuting the door behind him.
I looked down at her tears gathering in my eyes once again. I reached down and took her hand squeezing it. "Wake up, Amy, please, I need you."
As if on cue Amy's eyes fluttered opened slowly and she weakly looked over at me. "Karlie?" Her voice was so weak.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm right here, Ames." I said giving her hand another squeeze trying to hide my tears.
She tried to sit up but failed cringing. "My shoulder hurts." She said.
"I know…" I said.
"What happened I don't remember anything." She said.
"I almost got shot but you jumped in front of the bullet just in time." I said. A tear streamed down my face.
"Hey, don't cry on me Lys…" Amy said squeezing my hand back. "Are you okay?"
I nodded. "Thanks to you."
"It's my job…" She said.
I knelt down beside the hospital bed and layed my forehead on her arm so it wouldn't hurt her and tears streamed down my face. "I'm so sorry, Amy." I said.
"Don't blame yourself it's not your fault." She said.
The door behind us opened and Mikey stepped in with the doctor. "I decided to let someone else in." The doctor said.
Amy rolled her eyes and looked away as the door shut leaving just Mikey in the room. "Hey Amy…" He said walking over to her.
"Hi…" She said.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Perfect, there's a bullet in my shoulder." She said looking up at him with a 'really, bitch, really' look.
"Sorry… I wasn't thinking." He said walking over on her other side.
"Well, uhhhhh, anyways…" I stood up and sat on the side of the bed.
"Yeah, ummmmm, there's a bullet in my shoulder and oddly enough, it fucking hurts." Amy said.
"I'm sorry…" Mikey said looking down.
"No… Mikey. I'm sorry… I'm being an asshole and it's just…" Amy's voice trailed off.
"No, it's fine, I'd be an asshole if I was you, too." Mikey said.
Amy remained silent. "So, uhhhh, Amy, any idea on when you're gonna get out?" I asked.
Amy shook her head, "Probably not for a week."
"Figures." I said crossing my arms staring down at the floor.
"Anyways… uhhhh, I'd better go and let you and Mikey talk." I said standing up.
"Lys, you don't have to leave." She said.
"No, I'll be back later, trust me." I said sending Amy a tiny smile which she returned.
I stepped out of the room and started to head down the hallway. Emily caught my eye and I completly stopped as she looked straight at me. Even if bandages were covering her eyes I knew she was staring at me. I was paralyzed in fear, Amy wasn't there to pull me away. She wasn't there to help me, I was alone. "You blew me up! You set the bomb off! You planted it! You blew me up! You whore it was you! YOU!" She screamed at me in her raspy voice pointing straight at me.
My eyes went wide and I felt my heart beat speed up. Just run, Alyssa, get out of there, run! But I was literally paralyzed, what the hell was happening to me. The double door's flew open and Frank stepped in. "Alyssa? Are you okay?" He asked.
I let out a sigh of relief. "I'm fine." I walked over to him and got as close to him as possible without being a magnet.
Frank glanced back to see Emily had blanked out again. "Who's that?" I asked him.
"Emily you mean?" He asked.
I nodded and glanced at her one last time as the doors shut behind us. "She was one of the victims of this big accident that happened here 50 years ago. She was the only survivor I think." He said.
"Was it like an explosion or something?" I asked.
"I don't know, why you ask?" He asked as we began to walk out of the infirmary waiting room.
I shook my head. "It's nothing… just curious." I said.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah positive." I said.
He shrugged. "Alright…" But I could tell he wasn't convinced. "So how was Amy?" He asked.
"She's fine, just in a lot of pain." I said.
"Make sense." He said. "Was Mikey nice or was he an asshole?"
"Nice… for once he was nice to her." I said.
"You know Mikey has a thing for Amy right?" He asked.
"Really? How do you know?" I asked.
"Oh Lys…" He threw his arm around me. "A gay guy always knows."
We laughed as Gerard caught up to us. "Hey Lys, how was Amy?" He said in his gay voice.
"She's okay, just in a lot of pain. Mikey came to visit her earlier so that's why I left." I said.
"You are gonna go see her later, right?" Frank asked.
"Oh hell yeah, I might stay the night there, too." I said.
"That's good, my brother shouldn't keep you away from your BFF!" Gerard said excitedly.
I grinned as we walked into the rec hall. Hayley came running my way. "Hey Alyssa, is Amy okay?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, the doctor's say she'll have a speedy recovery. She should be out in less than a week. Is Lacey okay dealing with what happened?" I asked.
"Yeah, Lacey's okay, just a little in shock. Believe it or not no one's ever been shot here before." Hayley said. "I don't know how Bob could've gotten a hold of that gun." Hayley said.
"One thing's for sure, there's some freaky shit going on here!" Gerard said.
"Yeah, that's for sure boo!" Frank said.
"You know that girl Emily?" I asked.
"The one girl that was seriously injured in that one accident 50 years ago?" Hayley asked.
I nodded.
"What about her?" Gerard asked.
"She kinda keeps pointing at me every time I pass her in the infirmary. She always says things like it was you and stuff. Is there an explanation for that?" I asked.
"The only explanation I have is she's wild off her rocker." Gerard said.
"Yeah, I'm probably just imagining things." I said. I knew it wasn't that simple though.

That night I stood in front of the mirror brushing out my long dark brown wet hair right before curfew. I hurried and finished up picking up my stuff just as a peice of notebook paper slipped out. I got a weird look picking it up off the floor to see a message written across it in red ink: Watch your back, bitch.
I glanced behind me expecting someone would be there but saw nothing. I rolled my eyes and sighed in relief crumbling the paper up and letting it drop to the ground again. This time as I turned around though I saw the same message written in blood across the window. My eyes went wide and I felt just as I had when Emily stopped me and Amy wasn't there. My heart beat sped up faster than ever and I let out a loud ear-splitting scream that filled the entire hallway.
