Chapter 5 this really is a nightmare
"Ben? Are you alright? Can you hear me?"
Said Gwen in panic
He didn't answer. There was a huge blood stain on his stomach and he loosing so much blood it made his shirt sparkle. If she doesn't do something soon he will surly die... She took out her cellphone and dialed 911 and called an ambulance. Once done she put pressure on the wound until the paramedics came and hoped that the love of her life would live...

Ben has been taken to the hospital and was being treated in the trauma section. His parents, Gwen and her family were waiting outside and were very concerned. Gwen however was also beside herself with guilt. Why was she so stupid she had to go into that alley? She's the one who's afraid of the dark. If she wouldn't have gone into that alley maybe Ben wouldn't be in this condition because maybe the thugs wouldn't have the guts to shoot him in the middle of the street. But why didn't he attack them as an alien? That way he could defeat them easily and wouldn't get hurt so badly... He was trying to prove to himself, to Gwen and to her parents that he would sacrifice anything; even his life to prove his worth for Gwen. She was starting to fear that he succeeded...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the doctor coming out of the trauma section
"How is he doc?" asked Gwen
the doctor sighed and said
"It's not good... Your friend was shot in the stomach and he lost a dangerous amount of blood and is now in a coma. His blood type is AB- which is very rare and the blood bank has a shortage on it. If we don't find someone with the same blood type within the next few hours your friend will die. I'm terribly sorry" said the doctor sadly
Gwen knew what to do
"Ben and I have the same blood type but we're cousins. Will that be a problem?"
"Not at all. Are you willing to donate some blood?"
"Yes. I am"
"Okay. You should know that you will feel tired and weak for a few days after this. Do you still want to do it?"
"Yes" said Gwen
"Then let's go" said the doctor as Gwen followed him
"Good luck" said her family and Ben's parents
The next morning

Ben's vision was blurry and was slowly moving into focus. He could hear the suction sounds from the machine pumping his lungs and the beeping from the EKG machine. He could hear noises in the background. He saw a doctor looking at him
"Am I dead?" he asked
"Far from it" said the doctor and shook his head. Ben closed his eyes and was now asleep again. When he came to, it was dark around him and he realized he was in the same place he was the last time he woke up: The recovering room. He then felt that something was on his bed. It was Gwen's head. She was sitting on a chair next to him and put her head on the bed and fell asleep. He was still in so much pain he could barely move. But since Gwen's cheek was close enough to his hand he lifted his finger and used it to carcass her cheek. She woke up and saw he was awake and he was the one stroking her. He was smiling lightly and she embraced him into a hug. She soon poured all the tears and emotions that built up inside her over the last few days onto his shoulder
"I love you Ben" she said happily
"I love you too" he said softly and with great pain and effort, he lifted his hands to return the hug to the girl of his dreams was giving in the time of need... And she was doing the same with him...
