Disclaimer: You all should know by now, I don't own them. Just Jamie. Someone else shows up in this chapter that I own, he only shows up for a little while.
AN: Ok, this is the next to last chapter. After this is the epilogue and after that. I don't know, I'm toying around with the idea of a sequel. I'll only do it, with enough requests from you reviewers. If I do, It'll be a co-write with a friend of mine; he knows who he is. :-D
Wow, nearly forty reviews. For all of you that review thank you. I didn't think I'd get so much feedback, I was really wrong. LOL.

Chapter 5: Love is NOT Gone
----Recap----
Hunter closed his eyes, as Jamie pulled the trigger, waiting for the impact of the bullet, but it didn't come. He opened his eyes and saw Cam lying on the ground his hands on his stomach. "Cam, no...", Hunter groaned as he tried to make his way over to his lover. As he tries to make his way over to Cam, he collapses, beginning to weaken from lack of blood. His vision begins to go blurry and he slips into the darkness.
-------
Blake grabs a nearby chair and pulls it up by Hunter's bed. "Hey bro. I have some good news for you, Jamie got expelled, and Sensei saw everything he did. So he won't be bothering you anymore. That's good right?" He sighs deeply and rubs his hand over his face. "I bet you're wondering about Cam, right? Well, when Cam took that bullet for you, it had a large amount of lead poison in it.... and... I'm so sorry Hunter, but it killed him." Blake bows his head for a moment and all of a sudden all the machines Hunter is hooked up to begin going haywire! "Hey, help!" Blake exclaims and a team of nurses and doctors rush in. "His blood pressure's dropping doctor!" "His heart rate is dropping!" "We're losing him!"
All of a sudden his heart monitor stops beeping. The doctor's begin to try to revive him. After several attempts nothing happened. "We've lost him," says Dr, Phillips. "No...", whispers Blake.
----Two days later----
Blake walks onto the Wind Ninja Academy's grounds with a sigh. Today is the funeral of his brother and one of his best friends. Tori meets up with him at the entrance, "Hey, how are you holding up?" "Ok, I guess, you?" She has a ghost of a smile on her face, "Things could be better." "I miss him so much Tor," "I miss him too Blake, I miss them both." She embraces him tightly and they head for where the funeral will be held. They take their seats and Shane steps up to the podium, "Hunter was my best friend, and fellow Ranger, he was an excellent motocross rider and a great friend. Cam was also one of my best friends, he'd never let me get away with skating at Ops, yet he was there whenever one of us needed him. He and Hunter will always have a special place in my heart." Shane steps down from the podium and Dustin steps up, "Cam may not have been a Ninja, but he was always the most together out of the six of us. Hunter was a great guy and a good friend; I'll never forget either one of them." He steps down and Marah, Kapri, and Tori take turns speaking after Dustin. Then Blake up, "Hunter may have not been a blood relation to me, but he was the only family I had after our parents where killed and after the Thunder Ninja Academy was attacked. Then we met Cam, Tori, Shane and Dustin. They became our family also. I love Hunter very much and I love Cam like a brother also, wherever they are I hope they are at peace and they are together." He steps down from the podium and Sensei's Amino and Watanabe steps up to give them a proper Ninja ceremonial burial.
Blake watches the Sensei's with tears in his eyes, "Hunter..... Hunter..... Hunter...."
----Hunter's hospital room----
"Hunter.... Hunter.... Hunter...."
Hunter stirs slightly and opens his eyes, finding himself in a white room. He looks over to his left and sees Blake. He smiles at Hunter, "You're awake, thank God." Hunter smiles back at him, "Hey bro, how long have I been out?" "About two days." He nods and suddenly remembers about Cam, "Cam, I've gotta find him!" He tries to climb out of his bed. Blake stops him, "Whoa hang on bro, Cam's Ok." "He's not dead?" Blake shakes his head, "No, he got shot, but it didn't kill him." Hunter looks at Blake with a look of shock in his face.
"Blake, I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt that after Jamie stabbed me and shot Cam, we both died and then I dreamt about our funeral." "What?" "I know it sounds weird, but I did." Hunter begins telling Blake about his dream in complete detail. "Whoa, bro, that's freaky," comments Blake after Hunter finishes telling him about the dream. "Yeah, really weird."
Dr. Phillips walks into the room, "Well, nice to see you up Mr. Bradley." "Thanks, its good to be up. Can I see Cam?" The doctor begins checking his vital signs, and looks over at the blond motocrosser. "I don't see why not." He smiles, "Thanks doc." The elderly doctor smiles back, "You're welcome." He turns and leaves the room. Hunter begins to get out of bed, "I've see how Cam is." Blake hears someone clear their throat and looks over, then back at his brother. "Someone beat you to it bro." "Huh?," Hunter looks over and his breath catches in his throat seeing Cam in the doorway.
Blake smiles as Cam slowly makes his way into the room, "I'll leave you guys alone." He abandons his seat and walks out of the room. Cam carefully makes his way over to Hunter's bed and sat in the chair Blake was in. "Hunter...how are you?" "I'm fine, how are you?" "A little sore in my stomach, but I'll live." "That's great Cam." All of a sudden tears fill his eyes. Cam looks at him with concern, "What's wrong Hunter?" "I'm just so happy that you're Ok, I was afraid you were going to leave me." "Hunter...." Cam gets up and sits down on the edge of Hunter's bed, while he is avoiding Cam gaze. "Hunter, look at me." Hunter drags his gaze up to Cam's. "Hunter, I will never you, because I have too much to live for now. I love you with all my heart and soul."
The blond smiles, "I love you with all my heart and soul too Cam." He leans in to kiss his lover when they hear someone clear their throat. They look over and in the doorway is Hunter's ex-boyfriend: Chris Saunders.....
(AN: Did you think I was gonna break it off here? Someone would definitely kill me.) ((Looks over shoulder nervously.))
Chris Saunders. Six foot one, blond hair and hazel eyes. Tall, lean and powerful, at one time he could make Hunter's heart pound and his breath come in gasps. Now, all Hunter felt was....nothing. Absolutely nothing for him. His heart belonged to Cam and nothing would change it. "Chris, what are you doing here?", he asks as Chris walked into the room, uninvited, looking like he own the place. He sits in the chair by Hunter's bed. "I came to see you of course. I've missed you Hunter. I hope we can fix things between us", replied Chris as if Cam wasn't even in the same room, let alone the same state. "You want to what? You cheated on me with a woman two years ago and now you want to fix things? I don't think so." Chris lays his hand on Hunter's thigh, "Hunter, please be reasonable, Melanie was a mistake." "No Chris, we had our chance, I've moved on and found a terrific guy." "Oh really?", sneers Chris. "Yeah, I'm in love with him, so I suggest you remove your hand from me and leave." He glares at Hunter, then Cam and stands, "Fine, but you don't know what you're missing out on." He stalks out of the room and slams the door behind him, making them wince.
Hunter puts his face in his hands, "I'm sorry you had to see that Cam", he mumbles. Cam gently pulls his hands down, "Hunter, I don't care who was in your past, right now I want to focus on our future, that's what really matters to me." He gets up off the bed and then gets down on one knee in front of him, pulling jewelry box out of his shirt pocket. "Cam what are you doing?" "Something I should've done before now." He opens the jewelry box and inside is a simple gold band with their Ranger insignias on it. "Hunter Michael Bradley, will you marry me?" "I...."
