ANDYS POV

"Midnight! No! Please wake up!" I screamed, gently shaking her back and forth, my grip tightening. I could hear the ambulance outside, and two men ran into the room, and pulled her out of my grasp. They strapped her to a stretcher and took her outside and put her into the ambulanc. One of the men turned to me, blocking my way into the ambulance. "I'm sorry but the seriousness of her condition means that we have double the amount of people in the ambulance. You will have to follow behind in your car." He said, giving me a pitying smile. I nodded and ran to my car. I go in, and drove after the ambulance. I dialed Ashleys number, and put on the car loud speaker. "Sup dude." He said. "Ashley I need you to come to the hospital now."
"Why? Whats happened?"
"Midnights been shot." I said quietly "Oh my god. I'm on my way, and don't worry too much Andy everything will be fine." He said, and he hung up.


I was left in the waiting room of emergancy as Midnight was pushed through into a operation theatre for an emergancy operation to remove the bullet. I didn't care that everyone was giving me weird looks with my blood stained hands and tears rolling down my cheeks. I sat down, letting more tears roll, and waited for Ashley. He appered through the doors, looking around the room, a look of panic in his eyes. He spotted me, and dashed across the room. "Oh jesus Andy what the hell happened?" He asked, looking in horror at my hands. "Her dad was in the apartment....We had an argument.....She jumped in front of me......Its my fault!" I cried, letting my head fall into my hands. "It wasn't your fault Andy and don't ever let yourself believe that." Ashley said, sitting down beside me and hugging me. I cried some more, and pulled away, wiping my puffy eyes. "So where is she?"
"She's in the operating theatre. They need to remove the bullet to try and save her."
"She'll pull thorugh Andy. She's a tough girl, and if she can deal with what she's been through most of her life, she can deal with this to." I sighed and looked back down into my lap. I remembered the neckless I had in my pocket. I dug it out and opened it. It was a small sliver locket with a lyric form the morticians daugther on it, and inside had a picture of me and Midnight. I had brought it for myself, so that on tour I could keep her close to my heart. I felt more tears fall from my eyes. Ashley looked over my shouder and sighed. "She'll be fine. I'll call the others, I think you need some brotherly love." Ashley said, digging out his phone and walking off to call the boys. I sat there, looking at the photo, scilently crying. I looked up as Ashley came back. "There on there way." I nodded and looked over to the doors to the operating theatre. I wanted to go in there so badly, but I knew I couldent. After a while the guys came in, and started to comfort me about Midnight. We were all sitting there, drinking tea, in a nearly empty waiting room. It was 3AM, and we were spread across the chairs, trying to make small talk as the minutes that felt like hours went by. A friendly, plump, blubbly looking nurse walked up to us, smiling. "Take it you've been here a long time." She said, looking round at the arangments we had made on the chairs. "Yeah. Yeah we have." Ella said, sighing, and looking at her phone. "Well come with me, you can wash the blood off your hands, and also you can have a comfier seat." She said, and we all stood up as she walked into the staff room. "It's ok girls there with me." she said to the nurses who were in there, and they smiled at us, offering coffee. I washed Midnights blood off my hands, and sat down beside Ashley, taking a cup of coffee. "Right, who are you waiting for sweetie?" She asked me. "Midnight, the girl who was shot." I said, a lump forming in my throat. "Oh her. I'll go see if theres any news." She said, bustling out of the room. The others sat there talking to the nurses while I sat there in scilece, thinking. What if she didn't make it? I couldent live without her, and if she left me this way I would never forgive myself. I promised her I'd protect her from her dad, and I did the exact oposite. I unknowingly brought her to her death. I sat there in my unpleasnet thoughts until the nurse came back in all smiled. I turned to her egarly, waiting for some news. "Which ones Andy?" She asked, looking around at the boys. "Me." I said, looking up at her. "Well you better go into her, shes been asking for you for the past 5 minutes." I shot up, and walked over to her. "You lot stay here until shes ready, shes still in a state of shock." She said, and the others nodded as we left the room. She lead me down a few corridors, until she finally opened a door, and I walked inside.

Midnight had tube coming out of her nose, and her arm. She her skin was pale, and her hair was spread out on the pillow in strands. Her eyes where closed, and the only sound I could hear was the heart moniter beeping. I sat on the chair beside her and took her hand. Her eyes snapped open and she turned her head to me. "A....Andy." She said weakly, giving me a small smile. "Hey babe." I said, letting some tears falling down my cheeks. "Hey what you crying for you div."
"You nearly died, all for me."
"But I didn't die did I? I'm still here."
"Yes but you could of died."
"Yes could of. But I didn't."
"But-"
"No more buts Andy. I'm here. Your here, thats all I need at the moment." I chuckled and looked back down at my neckless. She moved her hand from mine, and picked it up. She read the inscrption, and opened it. She smiled as she looked at the picture. "Its beautiful." She said, closing it again, and taking my hand. "Well I wanted something so that when I was on tour I could always keep you by my heart." She coued at me, and I smiled. Suddenly the others came in, and we were all together again, like always. I suddenly remembered. The son of a bitch that shot her. "I'll be back soon, i'm just off to get something." I said, feeling in my pocket for the knife I still had in there from the photo shot we had earlier that say.I left the room. I saw Sammi look at me suspiciously as I left, and I prayed she wouldent follow me.





SAMMIS POV



I looked at Andy as he left the room. I knew that something was up with him, but I couldent figure out what. "I'm off to get something out of my car." I said, and left the room, following Andy. He left the buliding, and went to his car. He got something out of his pocket. He had a knife! I suddenly knew what he was going to do. I got into my car and followed him around the neighbourhood. He finally pulled into a deserted carpark,and got out. I scilently parked, and watched Midnights dad get out another car. I saw Andy got the knife out, a look of pure anger and hurt in his eyes. I ran out of the car, and leaped in front Andy as he swung the knife.......
