Isaac's body lay on the hospital bed where they were all gathered, trying to work out why he wasn't healing. Scott and Derek had no explanation for it whatsoever apart from maybe the electricity slowed the healing process. Melissa McCall was also looking over him nervously; she was the nurse on duty at the time he had come in.
Allison was in tears; she hadn't stopped crying since the accident, and was holding one of his cold hands. Allison just couldn't stop thinking about how close they had been, and how much she couldn't live without him, whether they were dating or not.
No one had told Annabel. Allison didn't want her to know, and the others couldn't face telling her what happened. But she must have found out somehow; she ran into the hospital room, a frantic look on her face, and when she saw him the tears started to fall. She grasped his other hand and yelled at Derek and Scott.
'What are you standing there for? Save him, goddamn it!' Annabel cried harder when she realised there was nothing they could do to help and it was likely that, if he didn't start healing soon, he would die.
Scott and Derek realised that they couldn't leave the girls here, so they dragged them out and told them they needed a distraction. The girls didn't agree at all.
'I can't leave him here like this! What if he wakes up and I'm not here?' Annabel wailed. Allison just started to cry again. She was still thinking about how he pushed out of the way, he had always thought of others first. Allison would rather she was lying in that bed, not him.
'Scott, I can't leave. Not when he's not healing. Take Annabel and find Stiles. I know he's missing.' Allison told Scott and almost smiled at Annabel's look of dismay as Scott took her arm and began to drag her away from Allison.
Allison walked back into the hospital room and took Isaac's hand again. She closed her eyes and willed him to wake up. She also wished Lydia were here because she didn't have any sort of supernatural power and she couldn't help Isaac.

Isaac's eyes opened. He looked right at Allison, but at the same time right through her. 'Where's Annabel?' He asked her.
Allison was so surprised that she actually choked on her own saliva. 'I'm sorry?' She spluttered.
'Psych! I totally got you!' Isaac said and laughed. Allison wanted to slap that shit eating grin right off his face but she had to smile.
Isaac took her face in his and kissed her deeply, as if he understood the pain she'd been facing thinking about his possible death.
Once they broke apart, Allison said, 'never do that to me again Isaac Lahey, I can't deal with you almost dying.'
'I, Isaac Lahey, promise you, Allison Argent, that I will never again almost die, if it is in my power to stop myself,' he replied and kissed her again. She tangled her hands in his hair and pulled him towards her, but he suddenly broke away.
'Annabel's walking down the corridor, she doesn't know about us yet, does she?' Isaac asked.
'No. How will you tell her?' Allison replied, concerned.
'She's your sister, I was hoping you would.' Isaac looked at her.
'She's your girlfriend. And you kissed me.' She stated, indignant.
'Did not! You kissed me first! Look, I'll tell her but if she wants to slap you, I won't get in the- hang on, we never really started going out. Technically we are just friends with benefits so she should have no problem with us going at it.'
Annabel barged in and ran to Isaac. 'Oh god, you're okay! I was totally freaking out!'
Seeing the depths of her concern for Isaac made Allison feel guilty. She could tell by looking at Isaac's face he felt the same. He gave Allison a look that said 'I don't want to hurt her. Can we talk about this later?'
Allison nodded and left the room. She didn't really want to break them up, but she had to be with Isaac; they were just perfect for each other.
AN. Sorry for the short chapter… I just don't really have much time what with school and that. Again, sorry.
