I walk out of the hospital. Justin had woken up a few hours ago, but they only let us see him thirty minutes ago. I sigh and walk to my car. I look up and see a woman in a black hoodie staring at me. 

"Hey-" I start. She turns and runs. "What the fuck?" I groan and run after her. I'm not fast. Hell, I'm probably a snail compared to her, but luckily, I catch her in a dead-end. 

"Hey, what the fuck? Are you a stalker or-" I pause. She's trying to kill you, you idiot. I scold myself. I glare at her and put my keys in between my fingers so I look like the Wolverine or something. I dunno. I saw it on YouTube at one point. 

She rolls her eyes and pulls her gun out of his hoodie. 

"Aw shit," I curse. 

"Move, or I shoot you," she speaks viciously. 

Maybe she isn't here to kill me...

I purse my lips, "no." She gives me a look like I'm an idiot. I probably am, but I have too much dignity to back down now. 

I cross my arms and give her a hard look. She rolls her eyes again and cocks in bullet into the chamber. 

"Are you Tay?" I ask, remembering what Awsten told me. 

Her eyes widen. "Fuck," she curses. She shoves past me, making my arm hit the wall harshly. I curse as she runs off. 

I rub my arm and glare in her direction. 

That is until something hits my shoulder and I fall against the wall. I turn and see a guy about to beat me down. I roll to the side and he stops, glaring at me. He punches me in the face, and my head hits the wall, pain shooting through it like a bullet. 

"Fuck you, I just finished a small fight. Give me a break!" I whine. He gives me a look. 

"You don't know who I am, huh?" he cackles. "What a shame," he sighs and pulls out a knife. He starts for me quicky. I yelp as the knife catches against my arm, putting a nice cut on it. I wince and find my back against the wall.

He laughs and raises his hand. I brace myself, but the stab never comes. 

I look up and see purple. 

No, wait-

I see Awsten dodge the man's attacks, and get a few punches in before he pulls out a gun. The man with the knife gasps and takes a chance, stabbing the knife, cutting through the air. Awsten pulls the trigger, and the body falls to the ground. 

Awsten turns and I become aware of the blood dripping down my arm and to the ground. I give him a look before passing out. 

~~~

I faintly remember being carried into my car. And I barely remember him carrying me to a house. 

"Kellin!" I hear a familiar voice shout. I feel myself being carried in and set down. I groan and look up at Vic. 

"Kellin, baby," Vic coos softly. Awsten hands him a pack of ice. Vic presses to the back of my head. He cleans and bandages my arm in silence, being careful whenever I as much as breathe differently. 

"Thank you," Vic speaks to Awsten softly. "I should have-"

"Calm your man tits. I was there, great. He isn't dead. Great. Get over it. Besides, you saved my friend once too, remember?" Awsten answers. 

"Yeah but- still. Thank you," he nods. "But- aren't you supposed to be in Houston right now?" 

"Visiting family?" Awsten says tiredly. "Yeah right," he sighs. 

"Oh, right, sorry. I just thought you would have been relocated after everything," Vic says. 

He shrugs. "I should have, but I didn't want to. Besides, working with Andy is cool." 

"Right, I always forget that Andy took you under his wing." 

"He pitied me, and now he's stuck with me. I feel bad for him, actually," Awsten corrects Vic, looking annoyed. "Anyway, I have to go, I'll see you another day," Awsten says. He gives me a smile before walking out the door. 

"He's weird," I start. Vic lets out a soft laugh. 

"Yeah, I guess. Are you okay?" He asks, his voices going from a happy tone to more of a soft, gentler tone. He presses another ice pack to my nose. 

"You mean other than almost dying?" I speak sarcastically. "Though, I did meet a girl." 

"You what?" He gives me a look. 

"Tay, I think. I'm kinda delirious right now, so I have no clue what I'm saying." 

He gives me a look and lifts his hand, moving over to my face and gently caressing it. "Baby, Tay is a spy from the other group." 

My eyes widen and I sit up slightly, his hand retracts as I do so. "She's what?"
