Disclaimer: Nothing but the plot is mine.

Note: Thanks so much 4 the reviews and I promise to make the chappies longer with the notes at the end. Now for your 411 I will let you know now that Marco's parents are not in this story b/c I wanted it to base solely on the feelings of his friends. So all medical info they'll know of purposely.

9:45 pm

Paige was still waiting with the rest of the crew for Craig and Marco to show up. They had already eaten and now were missing the 10.00 showing of "Fever Pitch". After sometime Jimmy told her to just call them. At that moment her phone rang.

Hello?

Paige?

Um..hi hun where are you?

Paige listen, I'm at St Timothy's hospital, you and the others need to get here NOW!

What's going on?

It's Marco…he got bashed again and…well you all need to get here now!

Hang up.

Paige hung up with a shocked look on her face.

"What is it?" Hazel asked.

"That was Craig…Marco's in the hospital and we need to get over their fast".

"What! What happened!" The other 11s were shocked.

"Guys let's just get over there now." Jimmy said and they all got in the van.

10pm

The 11s found the ICU after 10 minutes looking for parking. Craig met them at the door.

Okay, we got here as soon as we could, what happened? Jimmy asked.

"He called me about 8 o'clock and told me his bashers were back and he was trying to lose them in the park. By then the phone went dead so I ran over there as fast as I could. When I found him he was barely breathing and in bad shape." Craig explained.

How's he doing now?

Can we go see him?

We don't know the prognosis yet. Craig said sadly.

Just then a doctor walked into the waiting room.

Hi, I'm Dr. Stevens, are you all with Marco Del Rossi?

"Yes we're his friends, how's he doing?"

"Well…he had 3 blows to the head a cracked rib, a broken left arm, and one of his lungs was punctured. We still won't know much until later but he only has a 20 chance of living at this point." Dr Stevens explained. "Now what I want to know is what's the cause of this?"

Craig spoke up "He was what we called bashed, in other words attacked because he was gay. This is his second time."

"I see, well you all can stay out as long as you like but we won't know much until he's out of surgery." Dr S. replied.

Everyone took a seat in the waiting room but later was moved into a private area. They all went and got Red bull from the vending machine. Craig went out for a minute to call Ellie and let her know (1). An hour later she joined them too. No one spoke a word for quite sometime.

11:30 pm

The hour and a half long vigil was still going on when Dr S. walked in.

Everyone jumped up as they awaited the news.

"Well he's out of surgery now and the prognosis is still the same. We've put him on a breathing machine for the time being but we still can't get him conscious. You can go see him now (2) but we can only let in two at time."

Hazel and Paige went in first as Craig, Jimmy, Ellie and the others waited outside.

Just then, the most unlikely person walked in….

Okay guys R&R! now here are my notes

I wasn't sure if Ellie was a 10 or 11 so that's why she wasn't there at first.

I had them go see him even though he's unconscious for my next few chappies.

The Craco action will happen soon, but I'm working on it now with Craig being like the leader of them all (notifying, speaking to the staff, etc.)

I may bring in Dylan later like Paige told him.. I dunno.

The rest of the school knows now too b/c since he was student body prez. Since Alex is an alleged 11 too. It be like since she's VP she told the other council members and they notified the student body.

Tune in next time!
