Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
Please don't die, please don't die
Pretty bird, pretty bird, I know your hurtin'
Well so am I, so am I
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
Please don't cry, you can fly

Justin handed me the water but he kept his gaze off me. Ever since yesterday, the refused to look at me. Derek was here but he completely ignores me. Only time I've heard him speak was to De'Shawn to leave.
Even, then his voice gave me chills. He sounded so cold. He wasn't my normal boo bear.
Justin on the other hand was obviously holding his temper. He would speak and somewhat interact with me. He just wouldn't look at me. His appearance was so angry.
"Thanks." I said lowly
He just nodded and in the chair beside me. There was a knock on the door before it opened.
The Doctor walked in. He smiled.
"Hello Derek and Justin. It's so great to see you guys staying by her side."
He smiled towards me. I smiled back enjoying the little warmth brought to the room.
His name was Dr.Roberts. He was a Caucasian guy about in his mid-40's. He had a fatherly voice and he's continued to lift my sprits.
" Your looking a little better. How you feel?"
"I hurt. " I pouted
"I'm sure you do but you'll feel a lot better after we work on stomach pain. " He rubbed my hand
He looked at Justin and Derek.
"So I'm sure you have observed that due to the head Trama she sleeps and wakes up randomly. She was injured severely, and our fight for her life is far from over. Bullet is still inside and because of so much blood lost we had to wait. So she'll go under surgery in about a hour. "
We nodded as he walked out. I looked at Justin.
" Babe" i said weakly
"Yeah? " He said looking out the window
"Why won't you guys look at me? Or speak. "
I heard Derek sigh. He walked to me.
" Babygirl it's hard to look at you like this." Derek answered
"Mad at me?"
"We're just upset at the situation. "
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Derek finally snapped
I saw his eyes turn red and watery, he walked out the door.
I looked down ashamed.
" He's just scared. I have never seen him cry so much. He thought he lost you. I'll admit, i damn near lost my mind. I honestly don't know if I could live past your death. "
"I'm sorry"
"Don't apologize. we'll talk about this later"
...
I felt a hand run through my hair. Forcing, my eyes open. I looked up at Derek. He was talking so he didn't notice me staring at him.
His touch was comforting and he smelled so good. He was wearing blue plaid pajama pants, his Nike slides, and a basic Hollister tee.
"Man, the heat suck. If Dezi was up, she'd agree too."
"I agree" I added
He looked started before looking at me. I kinda smiled.
"Damn you always trying to mess with someone."
I shrugged. He used the button to rasie the bed slowly, allowing me sit up.
Justin looked at me and smiled.
"About time you're awake" He joked
I chuckled and held my arms out for them. Derek hugged me first being careful not to hurt me.
Justin did the same adding a kiss to my cheek.
"Derek, I think she'll wake up in the morning. Your mom is stressed and its 10 o'clock." His dad's voice said
"Daddy!" I exclaimed
He smiled big at me. He instantly wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm glad you're up baby girl."He spoke softly
"What are you doing in town?"I questioned
"I heard what happened, so I flew home." He answered
Derek's dad lives between Los Angeles and here. He's a pretty big actor and director. Harry Lenix.
He's been like a second father ever since we met, when I was about seven.
His eyes traveled to the cords hooked up to my body and sympathy flashed in his eyes.
I looked down not wanted to see anymore.
"Look, It's fine all that matters is you're okay" He tried to reassure
...
Around 11, everyone had left except Justin.
"You know we need to talk right?" He said cutting off the TVs
I nodded. "I know"
"I knew you had problems but I wouldn't have ever imagined this bad." He started
"and you're hurting, we all are but Desiree do not die inside."
"I know you, honestly I don't know if you can handle this one but we are here for you. I'm gonna hold you down."
