~Jasmine POV~

I raise my hand to greet Renée, buI quickly slap it over my mouth when I see who it actually is. He punches Anthony in the face and Ant lets out a helpless yelp of pain. I scream and Ant falls to the ground, unconscious.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Jasmine Cephas-Jones. I thought you were 'out of town.' He snarled.

"What are you doing here Scott?" I practically screamed while crying hysterically.

"Making things right. Getting him," he jerked his thumb back at an unconscious Anthony "out of the picture."

"You're going to kill him?!"

"What's so wrong with that, Jazzy?"

"One," I snarled through tears, "you have lost the privilege of calling me Jazzy, and two WHAT DID ANTHONY EVER DO TO YOU!!!???" He was taken back by my loud screaming. He obviously thought I would draw attention so he closed the door.

"I was going to knock you out too, but I wanted you to see THIS!!"He shouted. He then approached Anthony's unconscious body and proceeded to beat Anthony. He punched and kicked Anthony for a couple minutes. Every time I tried to get up to make him stop, Scott would punch me and push me back down. He walked over to Ant's body and picked him up. Ant was so limp. I really hope he's not dead. Can you even die from being punched and kicked? When Scott picked Ant up I thought he was gonna take him somewhere. What he did was much worse. He chucked Ant down to the floor. Hard. Okay, I think Ant might be hanging on by a thread. Knowing I wouldn't be able to stop him, I screamed louder. Nothing happened. So I decided t push Scott down. I stood up, expecting for Scott to turn around, punch me and shove me back down. Instead, he turned around and screamed in my face.

"WHAT DID HE DO TO ME??!! WHAT DID HE DO??!!" He repeated. "HE STOLE YOU, THAT'S WHAT!!" I am boiling. Would I get in trouble if I punched him? I'll just yell first.

"I wasn't with you, we have been broken up for two years Scott!" I screamed. "I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH YOU!!" With that Scott was even angrier. He grabbed Ant's body vigorously and threw it with great force against the wall. Ant was so bruised and battered. Lying there, lifeless on the floor by the wall. I lost it. I lunged myself at Scott, screaming and kicking. I only threw one hit, and I missed because every part of my body hurt, having being punched by Scott. He realized I was gonna go at him so he turned to leave. But not before kicking me down to the ground and kicking my side a few more times and punching me in the stomach a couple times again as well. I yelped in pain. He ran out quick. I stay on the floor for a few more seconds, then I quickly, but painfully, crawl over to Anthony. Where is Renée when you need her? Anthony was lying on the floor, lifeless. Bruised and unconscious, shallow breaths coming in and out.

"Ant, Anthony!? Please baby, talk to me. I love you, talk to me please." No response. I'm panicking and crying uncontrollably.

"J-Jazzy..."

"Anthony! Just breathe baby."

"Jas, a-are you okay?"

"Ant, shh."

"Are you okay?" He asks, a little more defiantly.

"Yes Anthony. I'm okay." Not. I thought to myself. I am so bruised. I feel like a pulp. Ant saw my face I make when I lie.

"Jazzy, I can see in your face that you are not fine. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Are you hurt bad?"

"Anthony, this isn't your fault. In ANY way. I'm kinda bruised and sore, but I think I'll be okay. I love you." I was still crying uncontrollably.

Ant wheezed and coughed.

"I love you too Jazzy."

I sob loudly as he passes out again. Renée bursts in.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Renée POV~
I hear Jazzy sob and burst through the door. Jazzy is bruised and laying next to an unconscious Anthony on the ground. I quickly called 911.

"Oh my gosh!! Jazzy what happened!!??" I ask.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Jasmine POV~

I explained everything to Renée. The ambulance got here. They loaded Anthony up and Renée and I rode with him. So many doctors and people were asking me questions, I couldn't handle it anymore. I snapped. Like a twig. I can't handle it. Renée was holding me, and I am clutching Anthony's hand. Holding on for dear life. The only thing I want right now is for Anthony to be okay. He has to be. He's my everything. My best friend, my anchor in this crazy ocean. I can't live without him.

When we arrived, they rush Anthony away to the examination room. Renée said that I should get myself checked out while we wait. So I did. They said I will be completely fine, other than a few bruises and scratches, physically. Mentally, I'm a wreck. I haven't spoken since the ambulance.

"Renée?" I finally spoke.

"Jas! You're speaking! What do you need?"

"Are we going to lose him?"

"I don't think so, Jas. I hope not, but it wouldn't hurt to pray."

"How will we tell the cast?"

"I texted them, Jas. They are on their way."

"Oh, okay."

Soon enough, the whole cast shows up. I get hugs left and right. They all start saying 'Oh I'm so sorry, Jas.' Which ultimately causes me to break down. Pippa comes up to me and wraps me in the best hugs (other than Anthony's hugs) that I've ever felt. She helps me calm down.

"Jas, Anthony is going to be fine, everything will be okay." Pippa is super reassuring, but even she can see that nothing is helping right now. She knows how I feel because someone tried to hurt her boyfriend, Lin a while ago. They saw him in a car and decided to ram into his car. Luckily, he had gotten out with a few scratches and was only unconscious for a little while. Anthony on the other hand, was beaten severely. He took several blows to the chest, and was struggling to breathe. A tear falls down my cheek, thinking about him. Pippa wipes it away.

"Jazzy, he is going to b-"

"Everyone here for Anthony Ramos, follow me." A doctor interrupted. We all get up, fairly quickly, and follow her. We enter a room. Anthony is lifeless on a bed. I can't stand this. He is covered in bruises and scratches. He has wires hooked up to him. I find myself staring. I can't look away. Pip and Renée see this and hug me. I start crying again.

"I can't stand seeing him like this," I sob, "what will I do if I lose him?" I get sad looks from the cast "It should have been me." I quietly add.

"What?" Pip asks.

"It should have been me. This is my fault." I say.

"No, Jas. Its not. No one could have stopped this." Lin said, sadly, but defiantly.

"If only I could have hit Scott once, I could have stopped him!" I sobbed. Pip tightened her hold on me.

"Jas, Scott pushed you and hurt you every time you tried to help. There was nothing you could do." Oak said gently

"But why? Why wasn't it me? It should have been."

"Jasmine Cephas-Jones," Pip started. I swear I heard Daveed say Ramos Martinez after my name, making it sound like Ant and I were married. "It should not have been you, stop blaming yourself. It shouldn't have been Anthony either. But things happen even if they shouldn't. I thought it should've been me when Lin got in his accident. I blamed myself. I told myself it should've been me." Lin looked sadly shocked. "I kept wondering why this would happen to him. Wishing it was me instead of him. Bad things happen to good people. There is no way around it." Lin was tearing up, I don't think he knew any of this. He came up to Pippa and hugged her. I took this opportunity to go up to Anthony. I take his hand in mine and squeeze it.

"Anthony, I love you so much. Please don't leave me." I let a single tear fall. The cast closes in for a group hug around me. Then I feel it. A light squeeze on the hand holding Anthony's hand. At first I thought it was just my imagination, until I felt it two more times. Anthony and I have a code like that. When holding hands, we squeeze the other persons hand three times as if to say I love you. Then I hear something.

"J-Jas-Jazzy..." A raspy cough comes out of somewhere. Out of Anthony's mouth. Everyone gasps and moves away.

"Anthony! You're awake!" I exclaim.

"I love you Jas." Cue the 'awwwws' from the peanut gallery. Chris runs out to get a nurse or doctor.

"I love you Ant. So much."

Nurses come in the room and check a few things. They gently remove the wires and all that stuff. Now they are taking Anthony to run some tests.

-2 Hours Later-

I'm back in the waiting room with the cast. Everyone, including me, is in a better mood now. We're laughing and joking like normal. A doctor suddenly comes out to talk to us.

"So Mr. Ramos has suffered some severe bruising and cuts, and he has a slight break in his leg." Okay, I'm officially shocked.

"A break in his leg!?" Oak asks, clearly surprised. I hadn't told anyone except Renée what Scott did to Ant in detail. Just what he did to me.

"Yes" The doctor replied to Oak's question, then walked away.

"Jas, how is he hurt that bad? What all did Scott do to hurt him that bad?" Groff gently asks, not wanting to make me cry again. Thayne nods.

"Well, Scott punched Ant in the face, chest, and stomach. He kicked him around on the floor. You know what happened every time I tried to stop him. He picked Ant up and threw against the wall and to the floor several times." when I finish explaining they are all in pure shock. Thayne comes up and hugs me.

"You poor cinnamon roll." He says. That lightens up the mood a little bit.

"That is our new Hamilton cast clan name!" Groff yells. Which really lifts the mood up. Leave it to Groff and Thayne to make everyone laugh. Even in the most depressing situations.

'WE ARE THE CINNAMON ROLLS!!" Lin yells loudly.

"LIN! We are in a hospital! Shut up dork!" Pip exclaims and pecks him on the lips.

"Pip, Lin is the leader of the Cinnamon Rolls, the Linnamon Roll." Thayne says with a mischievous look on his face.

"What does that make Pippa, Thayne?" I ask, laughing hysterically.

"That makes Pippa the...hmm. I don't know."

"The queen of the Cinnamon Rolls?" Daveed suggests.

"YASSSS!!!" Thayne yells. "PIPPA IS THE QUEEN OF THE CINNAMON ROLLS!!"

"Thayne, calm down." Renée scolds.

"Jeez, Renée is the Buzzkill Cinnamon Roll." Thayne quipped.

"Ouch. I prefer, the Mother of the Cinnamon Rolls." Renée remarks and we all laugh.

"This is fun guys. What Cinnamon Rolls are the rest of us,Thayne?"

"Well first off, I am the Cookie Monster Cinnamon Roll. Daveed can be, hmm. Let's see, The Fast-Talking French Cinnamon Roll?" We all laugh s Daveed nods in approval. "Oak can be the Tree Cinnamon Roll." Thayne excitedly exclaims as Oak groans, but laughs.

"Thayne, I think Oak should be the Flower Child Cinnamon Roll." Chris says.

"OOOH I like that! Okay so Oak is the Flower Child Cinnamon Roll. Groffsauce is the Sassy Cinnamon Roll." We all nod and laugh in agreement. "And Chris is the General (Store) Cinnamon Roll." We all laugh hysterically and get weird looks from the rest of the people in the waiting room. Thayne continues, "Jas can be...let me think, the Third Wheel Cinnamon Roll." At first wwe were all confused. "Like Peggy guys, duh! She was third wheeling!" A chorus of 'ohhhh's circulate through the cast. "Okay, one left. Baby Cinnamon Roll. That is Anthony." And with that, everyone had new nicknames and were laughing hysterically.

2074 words-excluding A/N (That is a really long chapter in my opinion)

Okay so this is the longest chapter. But oh my goodness. 90 reads in a week!! How the even heck!! Thank you guys!! That was an extra long chapter for you guys! I'm really enjoying writing this fanfic.This chapter was originally longer when it was pre-written, but a lot of what I had made no sense so I took it out and added the Cinnamon Roll thing at the end. I honestly have no idea here the Cinnamon Roll thing came from, but I decided to put it in here! As always, thanks for reading and voting!!
