"Nick!!" She said as she hugged him tightly.

"Kim!!" Nick said.

"How is she? Where is she?" Kimberly asked him.

Brian put his arm around Kimberly's waist and they sat down in the leather seats.

"She is stable. They took her down to the O.R. a few minutes ago. She was stabbed three times. Once in her arm, her thight, then her abdomen." Nick said.

"Oh my god." Kimberly started to cry, but Brian calmed her down.

"Did they catch this girl Nick?" Nicole asked him.

Nick nodded with relief. "Yeah...but did it have to come to this. Did Jess have to get so badly hurt in order for this girl to get caught."

Kimberly and Nicole were very worried about Jessica. They were all three like sister's. The five of them sat in the waiting room nervously awaiting the doors to open. They were waiting to see the doctor tell them Jessica was going to be alright.

Just about three hours later, the doctor finally came out to greet the five friends in the waiting room. They all stood up immediatly.

"How is she?" Nick quickly said.

"Well there is no nerve damage which is very good. We stitched up her wounds, but emotionally I think she is very unstable." The doctor said.

"Can we go in and see her?" Nick asked.

"Sure but only a few at a time. She is still sleeping." **********************************************************************

Nicole, and Kimberly went into see Jessica first. Both girls held onto eachother for support. They were not used to seeing Jessica so tied down and so pale. She was always so vibrant and so life like.

They pulled up to chairs and positioned them right next to the hospital bed. Kimberly gently held one hand, and Nicole held the other.

"Oh Jessica." Nicole said while her voice was cracking.

"You don't deserve this Jess!!! We are all so sorry." Kimberly said while breaking down a bit.

"You've got to get better fast sweety, we all love you so much. And Nick does to." Kimberly said.

"And don't worry about your "CATWALK", were sure that in time it will come back to you." Nicole said. Then both girls laughed warm heartedly.

Nicole and Kimberly gave Jessica kisses on the cheeks and then walked out to send in the guys. **********************************************************************

Nick, Brian, and Kevin slowly walked into the room. Nick noticed Jessica was much whiter then she was before. But she was still so beautiful to him. Nick sat on the edge of her hospital bed, while Kevin and Brian sat on the chairs.

"Guys, I can't believe this happened to her. How could someone do something so brutal, and sick." Nick said while gazing at his girlfriend.

"I know Nick. But, it is over now, they arrested her. She can't hurt Jessica anymore." Kevin said reassuringly.

"She looks so beautiful doesn't she?" Nick said.

"Yeah she does Nick. She looks just like Kimberly, they are both good looking girls." Brian said.

"I love her so much." Nick said.

Both Kevin and Brian looked at each other and then looked back at Nick.

"What did you say?" Kevin said.

"Yeah, ummm...what was that?" Brian said.

"Today in the music store, we danced to "Say It" by Voices of Theory. Then I told her I loved her. And she said it back.

"Kimberly and I knew it! We knew you were in love. This is wonderful Nick we are so happy for you." Brian said.

"Yeah Nick, that is terrific. So is that your song?" Kevin asked.

"Is what my song?" Nick said.

"Voices of Theory, is that your song?" Brian said.

"Yeah, she told me we didn't have a song, and I was confused." Nick smiled remembering the conversation he had with Jessica in the music store before this nightmare began.

Jessica started to gently shift in her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, and she saw Brian and Kevin sitting beside her bed, and then she saw Nick.

"Hi guys." Jessica said quietly.

"Hey." Brian said while rubbing her hand gently.

"you gave us a scare Jess." Kevin said while stroking her hair.

"Hey kiddo." Nick said while kissing her cheek.

"Nick we are going to leave you two alone, we will go get Kim." Kevin said. **********************************************************************

"How are you feeling sweety?" Nick said.

"I'm a little tired, a little sore, a little scared, but I'm glad you stayed with me." She said.

"I'm not going to leave you kiddo, it's gonna be hard to get rid of me." He said smiling.

Just then Kimberly walked in the room. She smiled as she saw Nick giving Jessica a sip of water.

"Hey you." Kimberly said happily.

"Hi Kim." She said softly.

"you alright?" Kim said.

"Yeah, I'm better knowing that she is in jail. But I must look horrible." Jessica said.

"No...You look absolutly beautiful Jess." Nick said while kissing her forhead.

"Honey, you are georgous. For someone who has been through what you have been through. Girl you deserve a medal for looking this good." Kimberly said while smiling.

Jessica laughed lightly.

"When do I get out of the crummy hospital?" Jessica asked.

"They want you to spend tonight in the hospital, and then tomorrow you can go home." Nick said.

"I don't want to stay here." Jessica said to Kimberly and Nick.

"I know kiddo, But it is best for you. Don't worry, I'm going to stay by your side tonight." Nick said.

Later that night Kimberly and Nicole headed home, and Brian and Kevin went home with them. However, Nick stayed by Jessica's side the whole night.
