It's been almost 2 weeks since the incident between Roe, Roxy, and Lee and Lee has woken up but Roxy still hasn't. The doctors come into the room her and Lee share but Roxy's injuries aren't improving. She had internal bleeding from the 3 bullet wounds she had to the chest which tore her Aorta and she lost an extreme amount of blood but that's not all that was done to her. The doctor said Roxy sustained a mild concussion from the blows to her head, the beatings she took to her ribs broke all of them, collapsed both of her lungs, she was ripped from where she had endure blunt force trama to her vaginal region, her cheek was ripped and there could be a possibility of severe nerve damage, and her body was rippled with deep cuts and huge bruises. When she arrived at the hospital, she had already lost over the amount of blood it would take to keep her alive but some how she pulled on.

Lee was just as badly wounded as Roxy but I don't understand why she hasn't even improved. Everyone has visited her here in the ICU except for Skylar. Val didn't want him seeing Roxy like this and I wouldn't blame her. The room is filled with flowers and gifts that people have brought or sent from Arizona. I sat beside her bed holding her hand in mine willing her to wake up but she just wouldn't open her eyes. I thought one day she was squeezing my hand but the doctor said it was just involuntary spasms from where her muscles haven't been moved in so long but I'm not convinced. I haven't ate in days or slept for that matter. I just want to be the first thing she sees when she opens those beautiful eyes that she has.

Matt talked to our manager Larry and we have to still keep working but we cut back on it a little so I could be here with Roxy and Lee. I am so grateful that we only work for half a day and then I can spend the rest of the time here. This hospital is beginning to feel like my home now. When Lee had woken up, the police were in here taking her statement about what had happened but what good can that do now? Roe is dead and there is no one to prosecute so why take a damn statement about what happened?

"Brian?" I looked over at Lee as she woke up in the dimly lit hospital room.

"Yeah Lee?" I asked turning towards her but keeping my hand firmly gripped to Roxy's.

"Have you gotten any sleep?"

"No Lee. I don't want to be asleep in case she wakes up." I said looking down at the floor.

"You need to sleep for Roxy's sake. I know she wouldn't want you to be in this state that you're in. I mean you haven't slept in days and you haven't had anything to eat."

"I just don't feel like eating Lee...or sleeping." I said looking back over at Roxy.

"Brian...doing this to yourself isn't going to help Roxy get better. Nothing you do can make her better."

"I just wish there was something I could do besides just sitting here and hoping that she opens her eyes. I just want her to come back Lee." I said rubbing one hand over my tired eyes.

"I wish there was something we all could do Brian. I would gladly take what she's going through and be the one unconscious and weak...but I can't." Lee pushed herself up were she was sitting.

"Brian...when we were in that warehouse, Roxy looked over at me with a look that said everything was her fault. Nothing that happened to either of us was her fault. Roe was the one who chose to do these things to us and kill Mr. Rawlings in Arizona. Please for her sake and everyone who cares about your safety and health...please go home and get something to eat and have a good nights sleep. I have my phone and your number...if anything is to happen, you'll be the first one to know about it." Everything that Lee said was true. Roxy wouldn't want me harming myself by not eating or sleeping. I looked back over to Lee and nodded before letting go of Roxy's hand and standing to my feet. I leaned over and kissed Roxy's lips the best I could and went over to the door.

"Please make sure you call me." I said opening the door.

"I will. Now get out of here." I smiled and walked right out the door shutting it behind me. I walked to the nearest elevator and got on and I could feel how tired I really was. I think when I get back home, I'll just go and lay down and eat first thing in the morning.

When I got to the main floor of the hospital, I walked out to my car and got in. I had to shake my head to keep myself from dozing off at the wheel but instead of going to my house, I went to Roxy's. I pulled into her driveway and sat in my car for the longest time just staring over at the car all of us had paid to fix up after that accident with her father. I got out of the car and locked it up before going into her house. The blood that was on the floor was gone and I went up the stairs and opened the door to her room and laid down on her bed, taking in her scent. She always smelled of Vanilla and Coconut. It didn't take long after I laid down that I fell into a deep sleep.
