A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews!

John, Paul, Randy, Dave, and Stephanie all took me to the hospital. Stephanie called her dad and Vince on the way. They left immediately. They took me into the emergency room. I was taken back immediately. They were put in a separate waiting room so no one would bother them. No one would talk. Vince and Ric walked in.

"What happened?" Vince demanded.

"She was kidnapped." Stephanie said. All the guys were looking at the floor and silent.

"Who?" Vince asked.

"Jeff and Matt." Stephanie said. Vince just nodded and his anger was boiling.

"What do we know?" Ric asked.

"He beat her up." Stephanie said. John couldn't take it anymore. He got up and walked out.

"I'll go make sure he is ok." Randy said after giving John a few minutes.

Randy walked outside to see John sitting on the curb. He was crying.

"John, come on." Randy said.

"No! It is my fault! I should have protected her." he said.

"You didn't know. You did the best you could." Randy said attempting to help him.

"Guys! The doctor wants to see all of us!" Stephanie yelled out at us. We all walked back in.

"Alright, we are all here. Is she ok?" Paul asked.

"She will be. She was severely beaten and sexually assaulted. She has a broken rib, black eyes, 10 stitches in her forehead, and we are going to remove her spleen due to internal bleeding." the doctor said.

"When?" Stephanie asked.

"Right now. I just need someone to sign this." the doctor said.

"I am her brother." Paul said and signed it.

"The procedure will take around an hour. I will come back out as soon as I am done." the doctor said. He disappeared into the OR.

Paul pulled Stephanie in and let her cry. John slid down the call and put his head on his knees. Dave, Randy, and Dave couldn't do anything but sit there. Vince was pacing the floor.

"You are going to take action, right, Vince?" Ric asked.

"We have to let her decide." Vince asked.

"What? They beat her to with an inch of her life. If you don't do something about it; I will!" Paul said.

"Fine, I will call the police." Vince said.

"Do not worry about it." A nurse said who was bringing in coffee.

"Why not?" Paul asked.

"We had to. Any time a female comes in and looks as if she is been abused then we must call the police. Do you know who did it?" the nurse asked. Vince nodded.

"If you will come with me and tell me then the police can get the person responsible." the nurse said. Vince went with her.

"At least we know they are gone." Randy said. They all sat there for another hour. The doctor came out.

"She is out of surgery and in recovery. The surgery went fine. We found some internal bleeding and stopped it. We removed her spleen and she will be fine." the doctor reassured us.

"Can we see her?" Ric asked.

"Yes, but it will be a few at a time. She will be in ICU over night. Do you have someone staying with her?" he asked.

"John is." Paul said. John nodded. The doctor led them to the ICU waiting room. They were by themselves.

"Thanks." John said to Paul. Paul pulled John into a hug.

"I owe you for at least letting us know." Paul said. They all sat back down. After 30 minutes of waiting, the nurse came out.

"You can see Miss Levesque two at a time please." she said. Paul and Stephanie went back first. Stephanie didn't stay very long. She came back out crying. Vince stopped her and held her. Paul came out a few minutes later and just held Stephanie. Ric and Vince went in and came out crying. Randy and Dave went in. they didn't stay long at all. It was John's turn. John was staying over night so said bye to them and walked back there. They were going to come back in the morning.

John walked back into her room.

John POV

I walked back there and was ready for the worst. I saw her and realized I wasn't ready for what I saw. She was lying in the hospital bed and looked helpless. She was pale and bruised. There were wires and tubes connected to her from everywhere. I wanted to help her so much, but I couldn't do anything. I was looking at her from the doorway.

"John?" I heard from behind me. I turned to see Stephanie.

"I didn't want this to happen. I should have done more." I said with tears running down my face.

"Shh… John. You didn't know. The same things would have happened if she were with any of us." Stephanie said.

"No. If we had gone out to eat instead of me being selfish. We would not have been there and she wouldn't be where she is now. I said about to break down. Stephanie pulled me into a hug.

"Why were you selfish?" Stephanie asked me after I calmed down.

"I surprised her in her room and we made love." I confessed to her.

"Oh, John. It is ok. You didn't know. Just be there for her when she wakes up." Stephanie said.

"Alright." I said wiping the tears from my face.

"See you in the morning. Call if anything changes." she said and left.

I walked over to the bed where she was laying and sat down. I just looked at her. I reached out and took her hand. She was so cold. I wrapped my hands around hers. I just wanted her to know I was there.
