Cory POV

My eyes slowly flutter open. My mind rushes, what did he do to me! When I was drugged what happened! I am now breathing fast and I look around and Brax comes to my side and calms me down.

"It's okay Core, we got you, Killers gone, Danny's gone, we're here. Heath, Casey and I, your in a hospital, your okay" Brax repeats calming me down.

"Brax! Danny's after you! It wa Salk a set up he wants you guys, he's got a gun he wants-"

I cut off my words as I see all there faces. They are sad for me and pity me, they must have found me. I see Heath, his arm is in a sling.

"He shot you didn't he?" I ask.

"Yeah, he did" Heath answers quietly.

I don't want to be in this hospital, I want to be at home safe, I want to be at home. Brax moves his body to mine and wraps his arms around me, I immediately wrap my arms around his body and hold tightly. Brax sighs and leans back, placing a loose piece of my hair behind my ear.

"You gotta stop hurting yourself kid, your scaring us" Brax laughs.

"I'll try" I force a smile.

Casey then walks over and I hug him tightly too. I notice they all have a couple of bruises and cuts, but, I decide not to ask any of them what happened.

"Are Bianca and Ricky okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, they're perfect" Heath answers smiling.

I nod happily then let out a breath and lean back into my pillow. Brax says his going to go check on Ricky and Heath says he's going to go check on Bianca so I can rest. I nod. Casey is about to leave but I stop him, I ask him to shut the door and come sit next to me.

"Don't leave, please. When I'm alone, I think. When I think, I remember. When I remember, I feel the pain. When I feel pain, I cry. When I cry, it's hard to stop. So, please, don't leave me alone" I beg, two tears dropping down my face.

"I can't change what happened to you. I can't change the fact that you will have nightmares and that you will feel scared for a while, I can't change anything. But, I can promise you, that you won't go through it alone. Cory, I'm never going to leave you" Casey smiles, holding my hand tightly.

I nod my head up and down and slowly start to cry. Casey leans up and holds me tightly, rocking me back and forth, stroking my hair soothingly and kisses my forehead.

"I love you Cory"

"I love you too Casey"
