This story is taking place after book 31. I would like some constructive criticisms please.

Gaia was well and truly scared as walked up the cold stone stops of the City's hospital.

"I'm doing the right thing," she told herself

The sliding doors opened so Gaia could enter the home of the sick. And immediately felt ill. Gaia blonde her was disheveled and tangled, her eyes were baggy and rimmed with red from all the crying. Slowly Gaia walked up to the reception desk, the woman behind it wore a poppy liver spot on her left temple, her hair was pulled back into a very tight bun, she wore a totally painted on smile that reminded of those barbi dolls.

"May I help you?" the woman asked with false niceness.

"Yes, I'm looking for Ed Fargo"

"Are you family member?"

Gaia thought about this question very carefully, on the soaps they would always say know and end up knowing nothing.

"Yes, I'm- I'm his sister"

Technically that wasn't a lie cause they used to be really close.

"Right- go to intensive care on the third floor, and it's the last room on the right"

Gaia pressed the button for the elevator and waited. The elevator came and Gaia stepped in and hit the button for the third floor. It seemed to take an eternity before the doors finally opened again. Slowly Gaia walked down the pale white corridor that seemed to stretch out forever. Gaia was now in front of the paneled windowed door, there Ed lay in the hospital bed with tubes sticking out of his body, by his bedside table was a fruit basket and a few magazines. Gaia smiled Ed was sleeping with his mouth wide open he looked like a baby, innocent and as if nothing could touch him. Gaia quietly slipped into room and stood over him whilst the fresh salty tears run down her face. His life machine was making that beeping sound that let her know he was at least alive.

"Ed, I'm so sorry- it's all my fault- I should have beat those nazi skinheads in the park but I couldn't Ed, I was totally scared out of my mind, I knew I'm meant to be fearless but I'm not anymore because I got it fixed, I'm finally normal- I thought I would never hurt anyone ever again but look how entirely wrong I hurt you...again...I'm sorry Ed, I'm totally sorry for everything"

A single teardrop fell on Ed's cheek. Gaia turned to leave.

"Gaia"

Gaia turned to see Ed.

"Ed, I'm sorry, I was just leaving..."

"Gaia, why did you even bother coming?" Ed said. "Shouldn't you be with Jake?"

"Ed, that's unfair and plus you're with Kai, If you want I'll leave"

"Yeah, I would like that very much"

Gaia left the room.

"Hello" Gaia looked up to see Ed's Dad

"Hi. Mr. Fargo"

"Have, you seen Ed" " Yes, I think his already back to his normal self. Anyway I've got to go. Bye" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

ED'S POV.

Who the hell does Gaia think she is spouting all this crap to me about not being fearless anymore? She must think I'm totally stupid! But one thing does get me and that's the fact she didn't beat the crap out of those neo- nazi weirdoes. That's the part I really don't understand- Maybe Gaia was telling the truth, maybe just maybe...

"Hey, Gaia"

It was Jake

"Hey, Jake...erm wanna go to the park"

"Gaia, have you gone absolutely loco?" Jake asked. "Earth to Gaia Ed was just slashed to bits there last night

"Jake, don't you think I know?" Gaia snapped, "I just wanna go to the damn park"

"Jeez, Gaia...Chill" Jake said. Put his arms around Gaia and lightly kissing her on the forehead. "I know Ed meant a lot to you..."

Before Gaia knew it her mouth open to say, "Jake, I do love you"

"I-love you too"
