Chapter Five

I opened my eyes weakly. It still hurt to breathe.

"Hey, I think she's waking up!" cried a voice.

It was Jamie!

"Hi, Jamie…" I smiled weakly.

I grunted. The pain was worse then before…

"You should be careful." Caria warned.

"Is Dave okay?" I asked.

"He's fine." Sasha smiled.

"G-Good…" I grinned.

I looked to my side. There were flowers, cards, and balloons. Outside the window, the sun set over the water. I just loved that sight.

"Where is John?" I asked.

"He's resting. He said he was injured pretty bad." said a doctor as he walked in.

"Oh hi! Is Dameon going to be okay?" asked Sasha.

"She will be released tomorrow. She can walk now. If you want to go se John—" the doctor implied.

I grabbed my crutches, and made my way to John's hospital room. He sat in a chair in the corner. I could heart soft crying.

"J-John…?" I asked.

"D-Dameon?!" asked John as he rushed over to me. "You're… alive!"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"The doctor said… that… the knife was plunged in so deep… you… might not make it. I felt awful… I wasn't aloud to see you, either…" John said as he hugged me.

My eyes bubbled with tears.

"John… I said I would live for you and Dave. I meant it." I cried.

"Thank you, Dameon…"
