(Hunter's POV)

One week, for one week Jenna has been in the hospital, unresponsive but no longer in critical condition. And for one week Giovannie has been as unresponsive as his deep sleeping sister.

      I paused outside Jenna's private room in the hospital, leaning against the door frame and watched the scene presented to me. Giovannie sat beside his sisters bed, one hand holding hers. This has become a regular routine for him, sitting beside Jenna's bed day after day waiting for her to finally wake up.

      I watched him a while longer, eyes roaming over him, taking in the dark cirlces around his eyes, how pale and tired he looked. He hasn't been eating much and his parent's were beginning to worry about his health. They had almost lost one child and they didn't want watch the other wither away.

      And Giovannie looked like he was withering away.

      Straightening, I took a step inside and still he didn't notice my prescence. His eyes remained fixed on Jenna. I tapped on the door and waited til he finally looked up. "Hunter," he said and that was it. His eyes returned to his twin's face.

      My own gaze drifted to Jenna, the only other person in the world who I loved as fiercely as Giovannie. I loved her...but differently. My love for her was platonic, but for Giovannie...the love I had for him...wasn't. He knew this, yet he continues to pretend that he didn't. Continues to pretend that he didn't feel the same.

      "Moretti," someone brushed passed me, "I bought us lunch."

      "Thank you, Nicky," Giovannie thanked him, but his eyes never left Jenna.

      I glared at the boy, this Nick. I wont pretend that I like him, because I didn't. He has no business being here. His affection for Giovannie was obvious which made me like him even less. He was the reason why Giovannie has been hesitating to accept his love for me. And now it would seem that he had appointed himself Giovannie's care taker.

      "You have to eat something, Moretti," he said, kneeling down beside Giovannie. "You can't not eat."

      "I'll eat later," Giovannie replied.

      "You said that during breakfast and you haven't eaten anything since. Come on," Nick placed an encouraging hand on Giovannie's knee, "eat something."

      My eyes narrowed. Possesive jealousy was beginning to kindle through me at the sight of his hand so intimatley touching Giovannie but with effort I surpressed it. This wasn't the right place or time to start a fight. But sooner or later...I'm going to teach this boy to not touch what has been mine since Giovannie and I first met.

      "I said later, Nick," Giovannie said, irritation beginning to set in his voice. As pleased as I was that he was finding Nick as annoying as I did, I had to agree with him. Giovannie had to eat something before he made himself sick.

      Without a word, I grabbed the small plastic bag Nick had been holding and took out a sandwiched wrapped in a plastic foil. Unwrapping it, I shoved it under Giovannie's nose. "Eat."
