The good news...

Doctor: "we have managed to remove all 3 bullets without complications hope she wakes up till tomorrow noon. But there are chances to face some complication when she wakes up. Because she has some head injuries when she fell on the head. Let's hope for the best."

Hailey's dad: "thank you doctor." I could see tension on everyone's face when the doctor said about the complications. But everyone was trying to be strong and not lose hope. I wanted to cry but I was not supposed to show my emotions as their leader and I had to stay strong for my wife and Shane too. They both at least had the privilege to shed tears. We all waited out there for the rest of the night. Next morning nearly at 11 the doctor came to us and spoke.

Doctor: "she is awake now, any one of you go in and meet here. then we can find out whether there is any complication or not."

Hailey's dad: "Shane, I think you should go and see here. because she is too important to you. you haven't stopped crying since she was brought here."

Shane: "thanks dad." I went in she was lying on that bed she was too pale I guess that is what the hospitals do. I sat beside her bed and took her hand in my hand. "Hey devil! How are you feeling."

Hailey: when Shane entered in the room, I saw he was all messy, his eyes were swollen and full red like he was crying for forever. He was tensed. He calls me devil so why not do some devilish mischief with him. When he took my hand and asked me how I was feeling I took off my hand and said "do I know you?"

Shane: I was shocked hearing her saying this, I cried in front of her and said "devil it's me, your brother. Don't you remember? I will call the doctor they will help you to recognize me."

Hailey: I stood up from the bed and gave him a hug "I can never forget you Shaney. I wanted you to realize that your devil is back to life. So did this little mischief with you. I am sorry and I love you."

Shane: "never do that again devil, please. You scared me till death."

Hailey: "I know it, Thank you. where is everyone else? I want to see them. And most importantly are all the boys alright?"

Shane: I carried her in my arms and took her out. "See it yourself."

Hailey: when Shane took me out. I was so overwhelmed to see each and every one standing in the hallway with a red rose to welcome me. "Oh my god! Were you all standing here whole night?"

Hailey's dad: "oh no we all just wanted to check on our cry baby Shane that's why we are here."

Hailey: I hugged Shane and said "don't be so mean pops. He is too sweet. He cried because he was afraid to lose me. and that he loves me unconditionally."

Shane: "ahh! See I have my devil back now no will trouble me other than her."

Hailey: "thank you everyone, this means a lot. I guess everyone should go and rest for some time." Everyone went in the villa and I asked Shane to take me in my bedroom. As soon as we got in my room I asked "where is Nikolas? Is he alright?"

Shane: "he had a few bruises. The doctors did the cleaning work. He was here till morning then he got a call from someone and went away saying it's something important."

Hailey: "did you ask him why he was there in that condition?"

Shane: "no, I am sorry. My mind was not in its proper place."

Hailey: "hey, I understand. It's alright. Do you mind if I sleep for a while? I am bit dizzy."

Shane: "of course not devil, take good rest. I will check up on you later."

Hailey: as soon he left my room my mind went straight to our moment which we had before the ball. I should have given him the number so that we would be able to talk now. I really need to know why he was hostage at that place? What have he done? Or was it because of me? I really needed the answer or else I will go crazy. But as of now the solution to my problem is a good sleep. And not to forget that I have to attain a funeral in few hours.
