Nico woke up the next day in the hospital, his body aching. A part of him thought he was dead, but he knew he wouldn't be feeling the pain-unless he was in Hell. But when he opened his eyes, there was his father, glaring down at him.

Nico was going to ask where Will was, if he was in the same hospital, but the tube down his throat stopped him from doing so. When he tried to raise his arm, they were strapped down and his wrists were bandaged up.

When the doctor came in, he went on and on about how lucky Nico was to be alive. All Nico wanted to do was curse him out, and maybe steal a random syringe and stick it into his chest. Nico wanted to die, more than ever. Why wouldn't the world let him die?

Only later, when another doctor came in, was Nico told the truth about what had happened.

Yes, Nico had woken up in the hospital, alive.

But Will hadn't.
