Spencer could hear words being spoken but just couldn't make them out. She felt stuck in the darkness that surrounded her. How long had she been in the dark? Why wasn't there anyone there with her. She heard the voices why couldn't she find them?

John had been sitting by Spencer's side holding her hand for 4 days. He prayed everyday that she would just wake up. He felt her squeeze his hand that day he knew it he just wished she would do it again so he would know she was in there still, and not just a shell. He was holding on to her like it would keep her alive as long as he didn't let go.

"How is she today?" Randy asked. He and John had been friends for years, and he had never seen John so destroyed over anyone like this before. He just wanted to make it better for both of them.

"No change."

Randy sat beside John in the other available chair. "They took her off the breathing machine?"

"Yea yesterday. The doctor said if she's breathing on her own it's a good sign. He said though that whatever happens now is up to her and God."

"Are you talking to her?"

"Every minute." John kissed the back of her hand.

Randy looked down not sure if this was a good time or not but felt John should know. "The police questioned Daniel the other day. I don't know if anyone told you or not. He came in the day after the incident, and said he didn't do it but I heard that she had some skin under her nails, and when I saw Daniel he had scratches down his face infact he may need surgery to fix his cornia." Randy looked at Spencer's face. "She fought hard John."

"I know she did. That bastard deserves to die. What happened with him?"

"As far as I know they are checking the DNA against him, but they need her statement to prove he stabbed her. As far as they know they got in a fight and he walked away and then she got stabbed by someone else."

"Thats bull shit, and you know it!"

He knew John wouldn't be happy but no one else had been able to get to him to tell him anything. He was on leave from work, and refused to leave Spencer's side for anything other than the bathroom.

"I know John. I just wanted to tell you so you weren't surprised. Daniel is out and about until they concrete evidence against him."

"The bastard."

Spencer could hear the words. Daniel ? She knew that name. He was evil and she could still see his face as he stabbed her that day. John was angry. Why couldn't she find him? Where was he?

Randy left, and John's brother Boog came in and sat down with a book he had been reading off and on to Spencer for a couple days, and John appreciated it.

"So where are we at today Spence? "

"Thanks Boog I appreciate this."

"What are brothers for. Besides she needs to know we care to maybe it'll bring her back faster."

John's mom came in with some new flowers to put by her bedside since the others were starting to die.

"Hon you really should go get something to eat. We can stay with her."

"Mom I'm not going anywhere until she wakes up. I can't leave her."

Carol thought he'd say that, it's been his answer for 4 days so she sat a container with a burger, and fries on the tray beside the bed, and smiled at her son.

"Thanks mom."

Carol sat down on the couch and took out a magazine.

Spencer saw him coming at her the knife in his hand.

"You didn't listen to me Spencer and now your gonna pay."

"Please not again. Please. I don't wanna die."

Spencer flinched a little but John didn't catch the movement. Boog was reading twilight to her. She recognised the words. She loved the books.

You'll always be alone Spencer. He'll never want you. Daniel was saying as he stabbed her over and over again. It was the same thing everytime. Then she heard the words Edward Cullen said to Bella.

"You are my world now."

John had said that to her. She saw Daniel's smiling face, and then she saw a hand. It helped her up.

The darkness was weakening. Spencer saw a small light out of the darkness, and she wanted to grab it.

Boog was at the part in the book where they were taking Bella away from James when John jerked up fast.

John stared at Spencer as her hand squeezed his again.

"Spencer? Come on baby, open your eyes."

Carol came over to the bed crossing her fingers.

Spencer's eyes hurt. Her body hurt. "I don't wanna die..." She said in a whisper but John heard it. Her eyes started to come around and she had to blink a few times she went to reach for what was in her nose but John stopped her.

"No hon that needs to stay there it's oxygen."

"Where am I?"

Carol leaned down and kissed her head. "You had an accident sweetie, and your in the hospital."

Spencer started to panick and tears spilled out of her eyes.

"He stabbed me. I tried to get away...I tried to fight..."

John took her hand tears of his own in his eyes but he wasn't going to break right now. Not infront of her. He kissed her forehead, and then her hand. "You did good baby. You did good."

A knock on the door interrupted them as the Doctor came in. John didn't notice Boog went to get the doctor he was to caught up in Spencer.

The Doctor shinned a light in her eyes causing her to flinch then he checked her vitals. A nurse came in, and they checked her wounds.

"Miss Kyle, welcome back. How do you feel?"

"Sore." She still had no voice but the whisper was good enough for John.

"You will be for quiet sometime. Can you move you hands?"

She moved them as best she could but at least there was some movement. The doctor pulled up the sheet from her feet, and had her move her toes then he checked feeling in her legs and arms.

"Well thats a good sign. We'll keep an eye on you though. Any tingling, or numbness call a nurse straight away." The doctor excused himself for a page.

John covered Spencer's face with kisses he had never felt so relieved. Boog even kissed her up. Carol went out to call John's dad, and other brothers to tell them the news.

"I am so sorry I wasn't there baby."

"Not your fault."

"Your gonna have to talk to an officer about what happened soon babe."

Spencer nodded she didn't even wanna think about it. "My phone." Her eyes were getting heavy "There's stuff on my phone."

"Ok babe I'll get it." John kissed her then looked at his mom. "Can you stay with her please?"

"Anytime hon."

John left to go grab her phone, and to let everyone know she was ok, and awake. He knew her phone was in her bag or office he just wasn't sure he was ready to face the room where she could've died.

John walked into the building and Randy was shocked to see him.

"Hey man what's going on? Is Spencer okay?"

"Yea. She woke up. Hopefully this means we're out of the woods." John turned the corner, and ran right into Daniel. Daniel didn't say anything as he walked around John, and Randy.

Randy patted John on the back so he wouldn't do anything stupid right now. "That's great that she's awake."

John nodded then said loud enough for Daniel to hear "Yea and she remember's everything so the officer is talking to her later today."

Daniel looked back but kept on walking. He knew if she talked his life was over. He had to figure something out before she said anything.

Randy, and John walked down to catering and he was ambushed.

" Is Spencer is ok? " Dave asked.

"Yea she woke up. She seems ok but it's still to soon to tell."

Shawn gave him a hug. "Just keep praying, and thinkning positive."

"I am man."

Kelly gave John a hug. "Tell her Eve and I will visit later if she's up for it."

"I will she wasn't up long just a few minutes. her body is still healing."

"Well why are you here?" Paul asked. "I figured if she woke up that would keep you there more than what you have been."

"She said something about her phone. I told her I'd get it."

Philip, and Zack each stood up. "We'll walk with you. I think Clint put all her stuff in a her bag, and I stuck it in your you wont have to go in the training room."

"Thank God."

They all walked to the locker room and John stopped when he saw Daniel sitting on a bench. his anger was to the boiling point by looking at him that made him wanna rip his throat out for all the pain he's caused. John tried his best to ignore himas he went to his locker got in Spencer's bag and took out her phone. When he turned it on he saw she had a few texts that weren't opened from that day. John took it upon himself to open them so he read the first one, and that did it. Before anyone could stop him he had Daniel pinned to the wall and was punching him with all the anger he had bottled up coming out. Zack, and Philip pulled him off and backed him up as Daniel slid to the floor blood pouring out of his nose and mouth.

"You come near her Bryan I'll kill you with my bare hands! I swear it!"

Zack picked up the phone from the floor and read the text. It was from Daniel to Spencer.

"I will kill you if you don't start listening to me!"

Zack pulled John out of the locker room, and helped Philip get him down the hall.

"John take the phone to the police. Beating the crap out of him wont help anything."

John grabbed the phone from Zack, and left.
