I'm writing this on my new computer! With my new computer there comes me playing The Sims! I'm trying to recreate how I see everyone in the book and I hope that you'll like my creations as well! Each chapter I'll post a new person as well as some text to go with it! The song is Awake and Alive by Skillet!

(Hopes POV)

     Darkness was surrounding me, I couldn't even see in front of me. I felt someone wrap their arms around me like they were giving me a hug. I hug the person back, hoping that if I do, that the darkness will go away and I'll be able to see. I look up at the person and see white light start to surround us, I was hugging Craig.

     "Everything is going to be alright, I promise you." He said as he laid his chin on top of my head. I go into his chest more as I hug him tighter.

     The hugging feeling went away and I heard the familiar heart monitor go off with each heartbeat. At least I'm not dead thankfully. I slowly open my eyes, and sure enough, I'm in a hospital room, but how long was I out for exactly?

     Without moving my head, I dart my eyes to the corner of the room and see Craig and Brian on their phones, not talking to each other. I look around the room some more, expecting to see Evan but he's nowhere in sight.

     "Hey, there she is," Brian says lightly. I look over at him and see him getting up from his chair, Craig doing the same. They both give me a smile as they stand at the foot of my bed.

     "Don't worry, you've only been out for a day and a half. Didn't miss too much now." Craig says, chuckling at the end.

     "How's Brock and Del and everyone else?" I ask softly. Brian pulls his chair closer to the bed and sits in it.

     "Delirious got out yesterday, he's at home with Autumn resting. Brock is fine, he's been staying at the warehouse with everyone else." Brian says as he and Craig share a worried glance at each other. Something's up, and I don't know if I should investigate it further or just leave it be.

     "Evan was in here yesterday, only for a little bit though because of... do you want to tell her?" Craig says looking over at Brian. I tightly shut my eyes after hearing his name, he basically made his choice, he was the one that put me in here.

     "We have a SPECIAL visitor that's being held hostage at the warehouse. If you guess right you'll win a trip out of here!" Brian exclaims. I wanted to sink down in the bed, instead, I just gave them both a pained look.

     "Now I don't want to leave here. The hospital has suddenly become a safe place." I turned my head away from them and wanting to go back to sleep.

     "Hey, we'll be right back. I just remembered that we had to call Evan when you woke up alright?" Brian says. I quickly look at them.

     "I don't want you to tell him!" I practically yell out, although the way it came out didn't make it seem like I was yelling it. Brian holds his hand on the door handle and stares at me.

     "Then we won't call him till you feel comfortable too, but I need to talk to Craig privately, okay?" Brian gives me a reassuring smile and I watch both of them walk out of the room.

(Craigs POV)

     "I get why she's mad," I say as Brian closed the door. "The fucker still fucking cares about the psychopath. I watched him lower his gun, unable to kill Sydnee when he had the perfect moment too, right in front of Hope. Then that's when Sydnee took the opportunity and shot Hope. Right in front of Evan, Brock, and I. Evan went after Sydnee instead of... you know seeing if Hope was alright after getting shot in the stomach." I was starting to get pissed all over again. And the thing is, Brian and I have been with Hope more then Evan has, it makes me sick.

     "I don't want her even going back to the warehouse. I know she's living with Evan now, but I think both of us know that she won't want to go back for a little while." Brian rolls his eyes as his phone starts to buzz. He scoffs and shows me who's calling, speak of the devil and you get him. He hesitantly answers as he puts it on speaker phone.

     "Yeah, what's up?" Brian says casually like we weren't just talking about him.

     "Hey I'm on my way over now, Tyler, Lui, David, and Del are watching Syd," Evan says. Brian gives me a panicked look. So we're giving the bitch her nickname back, do you still even care about Hope?

     "Uh... actually they uh just took Hope back for another surgery. Uh, last night her heartbeat dropped pretty low and it was off and on so the doctors are seeing if they missed something?" I say as more of a question. Brian hits me and gives me a 'really' look. I mouth 'I panicked'.

     "Oh, thanks guys for just telling me this now. I guess I'll be staying longer until she gets out. I'm on my fucking way." Evan says in an annoyed tone as he hung up the call. Brian rolls his eyes as he puts his phone back in his pocket.

     "Look at me, I'm Evan. I think that it's alright to choose my ex-girlfriend over my badass girlfriend because I'm a fucking retard." Brian says in a mocking tone. I chuckle for a second as Brian shakes his head and goes back into the room. I follow behind him.

     "So, I didn't call Evan, but he called me. He's on his way and will be here in about half an hour. But that's not the problem, Mr. quick thinker over here fucking said that you went back into surgery because of heart problems." Brian says as he points back to me.

     "Hey, at least I didn't say that she was awake, more like the opposite of it. Hope, just fall back asleep and we should be good." I turn to her as she looks back between Brian and I.

     "I mean, I can arrange another surgery if need be, if it means I don't have to see him. Or I could try falling back asleep." She looks over at the different machines hooked up to her and towards the wires connected to her.

     "Yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there. You're gonna have Craig and I here, and you can just ignore him you know. He doesn't deserve to get your attention honestly, give him the silent treatment. TRUST ME, I should know that you're good at it. Fucking going two weeks without anything from you and you finally gave in when I was at your front door on my knees, begging for you to talk to me." Brian says laughing as he shakes his head. She starts to smile and nods her head.

     "I think I'll do that, it seems like an idea for now. In the meantime, I'm not gonna want to stay at Evan and I's place. Can I steal a room at the warehouse until if or when I accept his apology? I'm pretty sure I don't have a room there." She lays back in her bed, still looking at us. I pull up a chair on one side of the bed as Brian goes back to his seat.

     "Actually, you do have a room there. It's an empty room that no one has really claimed. If you want, Brian or I can go to your guy's apartment and get you some clothes if you want." I suggest. Her face lights up as she nods her head.

     "I would greatly appreciate that. I have a feeling Evan won't fucking leave my side when he gets here soon. I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself on trying not to go off on Evan, can't make any promises though." Hope says laughing. I would pay to see her go off on the prick.

     "Ok, as long as you don't blow up on him when I'm gone, we'll be in the clear. I'm gonna run over to your apartment real quick and get you some clothes." I grab my hoodie that's laying on the back of my chair and put it on, putting up the hood.

     "How are you going to get in? Do you have a key or something?" She asks me. I take out my key ring and show her the spare apartment key that Evan gave me a couple months back. She nods her head as watches me leave the room.

(Hopes POV)

     The doctor told me that since none of the gunshots were close to any major organs and not any danger to me, I was able to leave within the next few days. I wish they said weeks instead of days though. Brian and I were talking about the attack and how everyone thinks they killed most if not all of Warren's men. I was glad to hear that, but we still had Evan's problem to worry about.

     A quick knock at the door ended our conversation. I watched as Evan came in and looked right at an awake me. I stared right back at him before turning to Brian again and going on with our conversation, Brian actually going with it. Evan goes and sits in Craig's empty chair, Craig should be back here soon.

     "It's good to see that you're finally awake. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say there was no other surgery?" Evan says with a chuckle.

     A part of me wanted to turn and hug him, telling him that what he did was stupid but I forgive him. The bigger part was saying fuck Evan, ignore him until I literally can't anymore, and kill Sydnee right in front of him. I was hoping the bigger part wins in this.

     "So wait, let me get this straight. When Sydnee shot me and Evan basically left me for dead, that's when you came, but where was everyone else at?" I ask Brian. I watch Evan stiffen up in his seat. Maybe this will make him feel a little of what I felt.

     "Warren's men were basically all dead, no one had any word about you or Brock, I decided to take it upon myself to try and look for you two. Of course, I come in at just the right time to see Evan running out of the door, and blood pouring out of you as you fell backward. Honestly, I think watching you fall out of a 5 story window was much scarier than that. Wouldn't you agree Evan, I mean you did witness both in some sort of way." Brian said turning to Evan. I liked this game, but I think Brian may have taken it a little too far. Evan pushes up and out of his chair and gets in Brian's face. He looks like he's about ready to kill Brian.

     "First off, I don't want to fucking hear it from you. You fucking cheated on her when you two were dating. It doesn't matter if you were drunk or not, I get drunk and realize I still have a fucking girlfriend that I won't cheat on because I'm a loyal boyfriend. Secondly, you have no right to go off and say how I "witnessed both in some sort of way" do you think I want here in here at all? She was just in here a couple days ago, now she's back in here because of me. I have enough guilt as there is, cheater." Evan spits back. Brian gets up from his chair now and pushes Evan away from him.

     "YOU'RE NOT FUCKING LOYAL IF YOU CHOSE YOUR PSYCHOTIC EX WHO WENT AFTER YOUR GIRLFRIEND! NOT TO MENTION YOU STILL WENT AFTER THE BITCH!" Brian yells.

     The door slams open as Craig runs in with a bag on his back and pushes the two apart, to prevent them from getting physical. If I could get out of this bed, I would be in Craig's position right now.

     "Evan... Brian has a point. Do you not realize the pain I felt when I saw you lower your gun, AND watching you leave me as I lay on the ground, scared of fucking dying. I grabbed onto Craig crying and begging, saying how I didn't want to die, to take the pain away." I stopped and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before I started crying out of anger, but I was struggling. All three of them look at me now. My mind said fuck staying calm and just let Evan know how I felt.

     "EVAN FOR FUCK SAKES, WHEN BROCK AND I WERE CAPTURED, WHO DID YOU WANT TO GO FIND FIRST? THAT'S RIGHT, THE GIRL WHO SHOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND PUT HER IN HERE. WHO FUCKING LEFT ME TO FUCKING DIE TO CHASE AFTER THE GIRL WHO SHOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?! YOU DID EVAN!" Tears were streaming down my face now as I ripped at the monitors and IVs attached to me. I could hear beeping come from just outside the room.

     "OH BOY, AND I THOUGHT SYDNEE WAS OBSESSED WITH ME BUT NO. IT'S YOU TWO OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER! GO BACK TO HER EVAN! GO BACK TO THE GIRL WHO ALMOST KILLED EVERYONE THAT YOU LOVE. YOU KNOW WHAT?! LET HER, LET HER KILL ALL OF US SO YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE CAN COME TRUE. YOU MIGHT HAVE WENT THROUGH THAT FUCKING NIGHTMARE WITH THE SERUM FROM WOLF SYNDICATE, BUT I DON'T THINK LOSING US IS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IF YOU JUST LEFT BROCK AND I FOR DEAD!" I was screaming now as two nurses came in looking around confused.

     Craig dropped both arms and looked at me in shock, Brian looks over at Evan confused while I saw Evan about ready to cry as well. The two nurses came to my side and held me down as the put a needle into my neck. I didn't fight them, all I could do was look at Evan as I felt my eyes get heavy extremely quickly, before finally closing.
