I end up leaving Justin alone the next day to see Vic. I guess he deserves a proper explanation from the day before. Justin said he wanted to spend time with Nick, so it worked out.

"Hello?" I knock the door. It opens and I stare at Vic. He gives me a look before grabbing my wrist and dragging me inside. He throws the door closed.

"Are you okay?" He asks. "What happened yesterday?"

"I-" I let out a long sigh. "It was a dare from my friends."

He sighs and wraps his arms around me. "Thank god. I thought you were high or something. I was seconds away from kicking your door down. Jaime told me to wait and see so, I guess you should thank him," he laughs. I smile and bury my face into his shoulder. "So, did you have fun yesterday?"

I nod. "Yeah. It was nice to catch up with old friends. Justin is still here, but Jack had to leave early because of family or something. I don't know, it was really sudden."

"Oh? I hope everything's okay. I can ask around if you want me to."

"Nah, he'll text us later. Did you do anything interesting?" I ask, changing the topic.

He shrugs. "Just worked with Tony and Jaime to figure some stuff out. Nothing much. I think we pieced some stuff together."

I let out a soft laugh. "So basically, you did work the whole day while I was hanging out with my friends?"

He nods. "Pretty much." He smiles and runs his thumb over my jawline. I let out a soft gasp and he hooks his finger to the loop on my jeans and brings me closer.

Then my phone goes off.

I groan and grab the phone from the table. Vic rolls his eyes and presses soft kisses to my neck.

"Hello?"

"Kellin." I hear Tyler speak. He sounds... Panicked.

"Tyler? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I- Justin and Nick-" he stutters. "They- there was- they were in an accident- well not really- I mean- they-"

"SPIT IT OUT." I shout. Vic gives me a confused look.

"They were attacked and they're in the emergency room. Especially Justin. But- you need to get over here. It's uh Northville Hospital."

Vic grabs my hand and squeezes it softly.

"Okay-" I say. He hands up and I reach into my pocket for my keys. "I have to go-" I start to the door.

Vic rushes forward and stops me. "What happened?"

I let out a long sigh and give him a look. "I have to go."

He shakes his head and opens the door. I rush out and hear him behind me. He's faster for obvious reasons and hops into the driver's seat.

"Vic-"

"Get into the passenger side. I'm driving," he says. I rush over and hand him the keys as I sit down. He starts the car.

"Can you explain to me what's going on, now?"

"Justin and Nick were attacked," I speak quickly. He turns his head slightly and gives me a sideways glance. He sighs and quickens the car's speed. 

~~~

"Tyler!" I speak. Tyler looks up and rushes forward, tackling me in a hug. I hug him back. "What happened?" I sigh. 

"I was trying to call Justin, because I needed to tell him something, and suddenly, this woman answered and explained everything. I came here, but they wouldn't let me see them." 

I let go of him and turn to see a nurse. "Hey, do you know where Justin Hills and Nick Martin are?" 

"Yes, are you-"

"I'm Kellin Quinn," I cut her off. "I'm friends with them." 

"Yes, Nick mentioned a Kellin. You can see Nick. But Justin Hills is currently under a surgery." 

"What- What happened?" 

"It's best not to tell you yet, Nick is in this room," she gestures to the room to her left. I nod to her and Tyler comes up behind me. I turn around and glance at Vic, who looks concerned. 

"We can see Nick. But something happened to Justin, and we can't see him yet." 

He sighs and gives me a look. "Is Justin going to be okay?" 

"I don't know," I whisper. "I don't know. But, let's just go see Nick first, maybe he'll know something." 

He nods and starts towards the door. I give Vic a look. He nods and I turn around to follow Tyler. 

"Hey, Nick," I speak softly. Nick looks over and gives us a weak smile. 

Tyler rushes forward. "What happened?" 

"So quick to ask questions, huh?" He laughs softly. "Justin and I- we uh- we were walking down the street when two guys showed up." 

I hear Vic come up behind me and grab my hand. 

"Who's that, again?" Nick looks over at Vic in confusion. 

"Vic," I answer softly. 

"Oh, right. Anyway, one guy had an eyepatch. And the other- he was weird. He had spiked black hair, and... I don't know, eyeliner or something. He looked like a vampire mixed with an emo teen," he tries to joke. "And I remember the guy with the eyepatch coming at me and shoved me against a wall... I think he- he mentioned you," he looks over at me. Vic tightens his grip on my hand. "Something about your... Your dad." 

My breath hitches. Vic protectively wraps his arm around my waist and gives me a sideways glance. 

"I- well, he- suddenly everything went black. I remember hearing Justin screaming, but I don't know what happened after that," Nick finishes. "Sorry I could be any more help." 

"It's okay, just focus on getting better," Tyler sighs.

"Wait so... Do you remember what they said about my..." 

Nick shakes his head. "Sorry, no." 

"What about Justin, do you remember what happened to him?" 

His eyes widen. "Wait- is he okay?!?" Nick asks, sounding terrified. 

"He's still under surgery. But the doctors won't tell us anything," I explain quickly. Nick lets out a small sigh. "Do you remember anything or... Anything?"

He shakes his head. "I wish I did." 

"It's okay. Just get some rest," Tyler speaks softly. 

"Hey, Justin Hills is ready to see people," a nurse says, popping her head into the room. I turn nd nod. "It's the room to the right of this one." 

"Okay, thank you," I give her a soft smile. She nods and walks away. 

I give Vic a look and start to walk to Justin's room. 

The second I walk in, my jaw drops. I hear Tyler walk in behind me and gasps. 

"Justin..." I start, a sick feeling rising from my gut. He's currently under anesthesia. 

Tyler rushes forward and stares at the white bandages. He slaps his hand over his mouth and sobs. 

I walk forward and stare. What the fuck happened?

He doesn't have a hand. It's gone. 

I turn to the nurse. "What happened?"

"His hand was... Uh- cut off from the attack. We had to stop the bleeding and well," she gestures to his arm. "I'm very sorry." 

"But- he-" I look back, sweat forming on my forehead. I hear Vic come up behind me. I turn and place my face in his shoulder, sobbing as silently as possible.
