Rachael laid on the hospital bed in deep sleep. She had just came out of surgery for her broken leg. Gar sat down in the seat next to Rachael. He held her hand and looked at her peaceful face. Mr. and Mrs. Logan and the three friends sat around Rachael as well. There were balloons and flowers around the bedroom. There was a table covered with get well soon cards.
"Oh, I am so happy to see Rachael." Kori said with happiness.
"Yeah, good job Gar. You really did most of the work to find her." Victor said with a smile as he patted Gar on the back.
Gar smiled. "Thanks. I'm just happy to see her again." Gar said as he lovingly stroke Rachael's face.
Mr. Logan smiled and wrapped his arm around his wide's shoulders. He leaned over and whispered in her ear. "He's really in love."
Mrs. Logan smiled and grab her husband's hand. "Yes we did."
"I cannot wait to have another slumber party with Rachael." Kori said as she looked at Rachael.
Richard laughed. "Kori, how about you wait till Rachael wakes up and heal first."
"You know, I can't believe that Rachael's own father would do this to her." Victor said.
Gar became angry. "Well I'm absolutely glad that he's dead."
Mrs. Logan looked at Gar. "Gar. Don't say that."
"No! He almost killed Rachael countless of times! He deserves to be in the ground!" Gar said as he stood up.
Mr. Logan hushed his son. "Be quiet! You'll wake Rachael."
Gar calmed down and sat back down in his seat.
The room was very quiet afterwards. Kori sat in Richard's lap, Victor looked at the ground scared to say anything, and Gar sat in his seat still a little angry. The room staid very quiet until the doctor came in.
"Hello, my name is Paul." He said as he smiled at the friends and family. "I'm just going to check her vitals and see how's she's doing after the surgery." He said as he went up to Rachael. Gar backed away from his spot to let the doctor have room. The doctor checked Rachael's vitals gave her the rite dose of medicine for her pain. He soon moved from the area giving Gar his seat back.
"Well, it looks like everything is checking out ok. Rachael will be waking up soon." He said as he smiled at the group.
They thanked the doctor as he walked to leave the room.
"Oh wonderful! Rachael will wake up soon." Kori said with a big smile.
Mrs. Logan smiled at Kori. "I'm excited as well. I really did miss Rachael in the house."
"Yeah, she really grown to me. She's like a little sister in my eyes." Victor said with a smile."
"She's a really good friend to me, and I never thought I would say that about Rachael Roth." Richard said.
Victor laughed. "I know right."
Rachael suddenly stirred in her sleep. Everyone looked at the sleeping girl in anticipation. Rachael slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust her eyes to the brightness. She saw her friends and Mr. and Mrs. Logan.
"Hey guys." Rachael said quietly and with a raspy voice.
"Rachael!" Kori said as she ran up to hug Rachael.
Rachael winced slightly from the strong hug. Gar took Kori from Rachael.
"She still needs to heal, Kori." Gar said.
"Oh right, sorry friend." Kori said.
Richard came up and hugged the fragile girl. "Glad to have you back." Richard said with a smile.
"Good to be back." Rachael smiled.
Victor soon came up and hugged Rachael. "How you doin' sis?"
Rachael laughed. "A little sore, but I'm doing fine."
Mrs. Logan gave Rachael a big smile. "Oh sweetheart, I'm so happy to have you back. I can't wait to have you around the house again."
Rachael smiled. "Me too."
Mr. Logan came last and hugged Rachael lightly. "Good to see you." He said with a smile.
Rachael smiled back at him.
Gar didn't waste any time and kissed Rachael. Victor cheered him on in the back. The group laughed. They broke off from the kiss and looked at each other lovingly.
"I knew you would come to save me." Rachael said with a smile.
"Of course." Gar said with a smile.
Rachael looked around the bedroom and saw the balloons and the get well soon cards. "Awe guys, are these for me?" Rachael asked with a smile.
"Yeah. We all chipped in to buy you these." Victor said.
Richard looked shock. "You guys did not chip in! I bought them!"
"Richard, why are you trying to take all the credit for the stuff WE bought together?" Victor asked with fake astonishment.
Mrs. Logan tried to stop the argument between the two teens. "Guys, there is no need to fight."
Richard ignored the comment from Mrs. Logan and kept arguing. "YOU did not buy it! I bought it!"
Victor shook his head. "How rude, dude."
Richard was just about to strangle Victor until he heard Rachael's voice.
"Guys, it really doesn't matter. Thanks." Rachael said with a small laugh.
Kori ran up to Rachael's hospital bed. "Oh Rachael! Now that you are awake, we must have another slumber party. I would very much enjoy that."
Rachael looked nervous at first. "Um, sure Kori, but I don't think I'll be able to go anywhere for a little while."
"Don't worry about that. I understand." Kori said.
Rachael smiled. "Thanks Kori."
"I'm hungry!" Victor complained.
"You're always hungry." Richard said to Victor.
"How about we order pizza?" Mr. Logan suggested.
"Yes! Meat lovers!" Victor said.
"No way, dude. Let's get the vegetarian." Gar protested.
Victor looked at Gar. "We ain't getting' that nasty crap. We're getting good pizza."
''Vegetarian is good pizza." Gar said.
"No it's not!" Victor said.
"Yes it is!" Gar said.
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is!"
Mrs. Logan rolled her eyes. "Boys, we have enough money for two pizzas."
Gar and Victor stopped their argument and shut their mouths.

Gar and Rachael sat in the hospital bedroom alone. Mr. and Mrs. Logan headed home as well as the others. Gar staid with Rachael to keep her company. Rachael had the TV remote in her hands. She flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch. Gar sat next to her in the chair. Rachael looked at Gar. "You look uncomfortable." Rachael said.
Gar looked at her. "Well hospital chairs aren't comfortable."
Rachael moved over in her bed and patted the empty space next to her. "There's room over here for you." Rachael said with a smile.
Gar got up from the uncomfortable chair and sat on the hospital bed.
"Oooo. They really make the patients comfortable." Gar said.
"Well duh." Rachael laughed as she flipped through the channels once again.
Gar wrapped his arms around Rachael's waist. Rachael laughed. "What are you doing?"
"What? I can't snuggle against my wonderful girlfriend?" Gar said with a goofy smile.
"Oh I never heard you say I was your girlfriend." Rachael said with a smile.
"Did I have to?" Gar asked.
"Yes." Rachael said with a smile.
"Well, Rachael Roth, will you be my girlfriend?" Gar said with a smile.
"Why yes, Garfield Logan. I will." Rachael replied.
Garfield kissed Rachael. They separated and relaxed in the bed. Rachael rested her head on Gar's chest. Gar had his arm around Rachael's waist.
"I really missed you being in my arms." Gar said.
"I missed this too." Rachael said. ''But Gar, how did you find me?" Rachael asked.
"Well, I was walking home when this guy started talking to me and he told me the address on where you were." Gar said as he rubbed Rachael's back.
Rachael looked confused. "A guy came up and talked to you?"
"Yup. It was kind of strange actually." Gar said.
"Did he tell you his name?" Rachael asked.
"Nah, he told me not to worry about it." Gar said.
Rachael soon came to the realization. "Mason." Rachael thought. "He saved me." Rachael grew a big smile. "Thanks Mason."
"At least I have you back." Gar said with a smile as he drew Rachael closer to him.
Rachael wrapped her arms around Gar and smiled.
Gar ran his hands through Rachael's hair.
"Hey Rachael, your hair got longer." Gar said as he looked at the dark air.
Rachael looked him. "Really Gar? My hair is down to my back. How can you not realize it?"
Gar shrugged. "Who knows?"
Gar pushed the hair that was falling onto Rachael's face behind her ear. "I think you look even more beautiful with your hair long." Gar said.
Rachael smiled. "Thanks."
"My mom and Kori will fuss over your hair a lot." Gar said as he laughed.
Rachael sighed and rolled her eyes. "Hopefully they won't."
"Oh they will. You're like the daughter my mother always wanted." Gar laughed.
"Not if I have anything to say about it." Rachael replied.
The two sat on the bed in silence. They both watched the tv that was in the corner of the room.
"Gar? Can I ask you something?" Rachael asked.
"Sure Rachael." Gar said.
"What happened to my father?"
Gar didn't say anything at first. He was still angry at the fact of what Trigon did to Rachael. He rubbed her back and said. "Um, when the police came in to arrest everyone, your father fought against the cops and when the cops fired back at your dad, the bullet hit him right on his heart. He died at the scene." Gar said.
Rachael tried to comprehend everything that Gar was telling her "He's dead….He's gone….I don't have to worry about him anymore." Rachael thought. Happiness ran through Rachael's mind.
"Are you ok?" Gar thought.
"I'm better than ok." Rachael smiled. "I don't have to deal about that man ever again.
Gar smiled and kissed Rachael. "I love you." Gar said.
"I love you too, Gar." Rachael said with a big smile.
