Gerard POV
I had taken my top shirt off and wrapped my hand in it. Danni was in the back seat with Nikki, holding a blanket to her shoulder, where I had accidentally shot her. If Josh hadn’t of moved, it wouldn’t have happened. I felt so bad for it…
I looked over to Frank who had one of his hands intertwined with my non injured hand, and the other to his stomach. Stevie didn’t actually stab him; he just cut him, though it was still bleeding pretty badly.
I pulled into the hospital parking lot, for the umpteenth time in the past few days. Danni had called when she saw us run out of the house, so they had people outside waiting for us.
They took Nikki to the emergency room. While Frank and I were taken to another room.
Within seconds, a doctor was with us. He smiled and grabbed my hand softly. He dropped it and walked over to Frank and quickly assessed his wound as well.
He sighed and smiled, “Both of you are very lucky. Those wounds could have been much worse.” he paused, “All you'll need to stitches. I'll call in one of the other doctors to stitch you up, so I can start working on Nikki.”
“Don't let her die, you hear me?” I sighed.
He nodded, “I will try my hardest to keep her alive. She's been my patient for a long time... I would feel terrible to lose her.”
I nodded and watched as he left the room. I turned to look at Frank who smiled, “Gee, she'll be fine.”
I nodded, “I hope your right.”
I had just finished talking when the door opened. Danni walked in and smiled. She sat down on the chair next to me, “What's the news?” she asked.
Frank sighed, “Stitches.”
She smiled, “Thank god is wasn't anything too serious.”
I nodded, “Yea...”
She sighed, “I called the cops, by the way. They're on their way to the house to arrest everyone.”
I sighed, “They'll only get Josh and Jared... Amy, Ashley, and Stevie got away...”
She shrugged, “At least they'll get some of them. They'll be able to find Amy, Ashley, and Stevie later.”
I smiled, “You sound so optimistic.”
She smiled, “Because I try and be optimistic in situations like these.”
I smiled and a second later, the door opened again. It was a doctor. He smiled, “I heard I need to stitch some people up?”
Frank laughed, “You heard right.”
He nodded and went to Frank first, “You are a lucky man. If this would have been any deeper, you would have needed surgery.”
I laughed, “Yes, that makes you a very lucky man indeed.”

I sighed and looked up at the clock. It had been almost two hours since we had gotten to the hospital, and still no one had come to tell us anything about Nikki... I was about to stand up and walk down the hall to get something from the vending machine when I saw Nikki's doctor walking towards us.
I smiled at him and stood up. I walked towards him, meeting him halfway.
“Nikki is dong great. We managed to remove the bullet without a major amount of blood loss. We were lucky that the bullet missed the major arteries.” He smiled, “She's resting now, but you can go see if you would like. She's in room 200.”
I nodded and walked back to where Frank and Danni where sleeping. I woke them up, “Guys, you want to go see how Nikki is doing?”
Danni jumped up, “She's okay?”
I nodded, “The doctor said she was doing great, that she was resting, but we can go see her.”
Frank smiled, “I told you she was going to be alright.
I smirked and grabbed his hand as he stood up. We walked to Nikki's room. I didn’t really want to face Nikki at this point. She probably thought that I shot her on purpose.
When we walked into the room, me and Frank sat down in the chairs as far away from her as possible. Danni, on the other hand, walked to her bed and stood there looking at her. Danni grabbed her hand, “Nik, I love you so much.”
I heard Nikki's voice, “Danni?”
Danni smiled, “Yea, it's me. How are you feeling?”
I heard Nikki sigh, “I'm doing pretty good.” she laughed.
“Dad?” I heard Nikki call after a few seconds of silence. I looked towards where her and Danni were and saw Nikki looking at me. I looked away, and she called for me again.
“Dad? Come here, please?” I sighed and got up. I walked over to her. I started to talk, but she cut me off.
“I know it’s not your fault. I know he moved. I saw him,” she said. She dropped Danni's hand, who then went to sit down next to Frank, and grabbed mine. She pulled me down onto the bed and into a hug. I avoided her shoulder as I hugged her back. I was shocked that she wasn't blaming me for shooting her.
“Thank you for coming when you did. Who knows what would have happened if you didn’t.” she paused, taking a deep breath, “I-- I love you dad… I really do…” I could see the tears building in her eyes.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I heard those words come out of her mouth. I never thought I’d hear those words ever again, “I love you too... so much.”
I quickly wiped my eyes and she let go of me. I looked at Danni and she was crying too. I looked back at Frank and he had a smile on his face. I motioned for Danni and Frank to come over. They both stood up and wrapped their arms around me and Nikki, “I love you all.”
“I love you, dad.” Danni and Nikki said at the same time.
