Liam stood alone in the room still staring at the door. They had taken Sydney from the room close to ten minutes ago, but he had yet to move. 

 He felt warm tears start to spill out of his eyes as the door swung open, Scott, Melissa and Stiles running in, their eyes wide. 

"Where is she?" Scott demanded, his eyes locked on the empty space where his sister had been the last time he had seen her.

Liam was now looking down at the ground as he spoke, "They took her to surgery." he whispered, so quiet he wasn't even sure they had heard him. 

"Her heart stopped didn't it?" Scott croaked, his teary eyes looking to Liam. 

Liam nodded as more tears ran down his cheeks. Melissa let out a cry as she fell into Scott's chest.

Stiles approached Liam and pulled the younger boy into a hug. 

"It's my fault" Liam whimpered.

"No it's not" Stiles responded, tears brimming his own eyes.

The four of them waited for hours for Sydney's surgery to be done. Liam struggled to keep his eyes open, it was close to 1:00am and he hadn't slept since the night before.

"Liam, go home get some rest" Melissa said softly.

Liam shook his head. "I can't leave her" he mumbled. "I can't leave until I know she's okay"

Melissa sighed knowing she wasn't going to win. Liam rested his head on the wall behind him and closed his eyes.

When he opened them he saw the doctor standing in front of them.

"The surgery went well, we stopped the bleeding and I'm very hopeful that she'll make a full recovery" he said flashing a smile at the end.

"Thank you so much Doctor Hunt" Melissa said standing up to pull him into a hug.

Liam felt relief flood into his body. "She's okay" he whispered to no one but himself.
