Artemis POV

Silence.

There was nothing but silence.

We were all in the hospital while Jordan had been taken to the police station for questioning. I don't know how long it's been but I've stayed here the whole time. It was probably around 6 o'clock now and at this moment everyone was here.

Even my parents and let me tell you, my dad was especially sad about this.

I looked over at Dick and Conner. I they hadn't said anything yet but I knew they were terribly worried. I mean they had known him for longer.

Then Wally's parents. I just felt so terrible, just looking at them made me want to cry all over again. They seemed like such good people and now they were sitting here worried to death about their son who was trying to protect me.

I just feel like everything is my fault.

I couldn't stand being here anymore.

I stood up and walked out of the hallway to find a small balcony. I just stood there feeling numbness inside of me. I heard shuffling behind me and saw Megan and Zatanna giving me sad smiles.

"Are you okay?" Zatanna asked softly.

"No" I croaked.

I hadn't spoken since yelling earlier today.

The walked over to me.

"Don't worry Artemis Wally will be fine, he's a strong boy. He can't die…he-he won't die" Megan said.

I said nothing.

"Can I just be alone please?" I asked.

They didn't say anything but I knew they were giving each other a look.

"Alright…we'll see you inside then…" Zatanna said.

I felt like crying again. What if he did die? Died because me? Never got to get his dream job, or get married and have children because of me? I couldn't deal with that for the rest of my life.

I felt a tear trickle down my face but didn't bother to wipe it.

"Artemis, honey we need to talk to you"

I turned around to see my mom and dad.

My stomach was in a huge storm right now.

"It's about you…" mom said.

I internally sighed with relief. I thought they were going to tell me that Wally didn't make it.

"We're moving sweetheart…" dad said.

I jumped up. "But we can't move!" I yelled.

"It's for the best. What if that Jordan boy breaks out or gets bailed out of jail? He knows where we live, what school you go to and it's just not safe" he explained.

"But I don't want to leave! And how am I going to tell the guys a-a-"

"Don't worry we haven't chosen a place yet, but you can help us pick" mom said.

"No, I don't care I just don't-"

"Guys we can see Wally now!" Dick said before quickly leaving again.

"We'll talk about this later" dad said.

I said nothing and walked past them. I knew that they were going to be doing most of the talking when "we" talked later. I also knew they was no way to change their mind so I might as well start packing.

I waited as everyone went in. I wanted to go in by myself. But at the same time I was scared. I was scared that maybe Wally would hate me because of all the trouble he went through for me.

"We'll be waiting for you outside" dad said before walking away with Wally's parents.

"We'll see you at school tomorrow then" Dick said. And with that off went Dick and Conner.

"We were going to have a sleepover today…you up for it?" Megan asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know" was all I said.

"If you do, we'll be at my place" Zatanna said.

I nodded and hugged them both tightly before they left.

I walked into the hospital room.

I frowned at the sight.

There was Wally with his arm in a cast-you wouldn't think that was bad but he looked slightly pale, his hair was messier than usual and his half opened eyes you could see this green eyes but they seemed to have lost the slight sparkle.

"Hi" I said quietly.

When he saw me he smiled.

"Hey"

I noticed that his voice was raspy.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I could be better. But at least I'm alive" he said.

Wally POV

Maybe I used the wrong choice of words.

I saw a look of guilt on Artemis' face.

"So…what exactly happened?" she asked quietly.

I motioned for her to come over.

"When you ran I tried to get him to leave and I guess he shot me in the arm…I don't remember what happened after that" I explained.

She nodded.

"Listen Wally I am-"

"Don't say it" I said.

It was fine really; I didn't really think he was going to shoot. If I did I would have found another way of approaching him. But I did it because I really cared about Artemis.

Maybe I hadn't noticed her before she had his "makeover" but now that I did, she's pretty amazing and I honestly wouldn't like her any less if she went back to being a "nerd".

"But I feel so guilty" she said.

"Artemis it's alright really" I said lazily.

"I feel so stupid I should have never tried to get this makeover, then none of this would have happened" she continued.

I took her hand with my arm that wasn't broken and she stopped.

"Artemis really its fine" I said.

She just stared at me.

"You look tired. You should get some rest" she said gently.

I was feeling kind of tired.

"Night Artemis" I said.

"Night Wally" she said.

She walked to the door and I closed my eyes.

"I love you" she whispered softly.

Little did she know I heard.
