Title: It's Going to be Alright
Author: Robin Gurl
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: BB/DM, OB/EW
Summary: After an accident on set leaves one of the duo in a hospital bed, the other realizes just how hard it is to keep promises. A quick collection of drabbles that run together to form a work written to Kelly Clarkson's "Save You".
Notes: I remember somewhere reading that Billy had a sister named Margret? Well she appears in this story but my grandmother says nick name for Margret is either Meg or Maggie, so I used Maggie. This takes place during filming.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This never happened to my knowledge.
Feedback: Please! ^_^ This was written on a whim and I'm afraid it's a bit choppy. o.O

Two drunk figures were leaning on the bar at the dusty pub. "We've drank…way..way to much." One exclaimed before falling into a fit of giggles.

"Way to ..much." The other agreed. They sat together on the floor leaning, each against the other. They were silent for a few moments.

"Are you sure yer ok?"

Dom tried to focus on what Billy was asking him. "Yeh..I mean.." Then the reason they were this smashed to begin with- one of his friends had taken his own life. Over a girl. "God, I don’t know Bills."

Billy sat up unsteadily and pulled his friend into a hug. "Its going to be alright. I'm here!"

"I know, thanks."

"No I mean it. I'll always be there, Dom. "

Dom's eyes widened and a few tears slipped down. In stead of his usual embarrassment over showing emotion he let them flow freely and leaned forward wrapping his arms around Billy's shoulders pulling the older man close. Their lips met unintentionally but neither pulled away. "I'll always be there to, I promise." He whispered in Billy's ear.

"DOM LOOK OUT!" Dom twisted around wide eyed only to get pushed aside from an unknown weight and sent flying across the sound stage. He landed with a daze, as he sat up a loud crash was heard.

He shielded his eyes from the flying splinters trying to figure out what was going on. After everything had settled he stood up and stared at the giant black light fixture that was where he was now.

Time seemed to freeze the split second he saw who was under it. His vision swam and he couldn’t breathe. His legs buckled and he fell back down to the ground. Voices around him blurred together and he could only hear parts of it.

"Alive."

"Call Ambulance."

"Stay awake for us!"

"Check on the other."

"Where is Mr. Monaghan?"

The accident was all over the news one of the actors from the LOTR cast had been in an accident on set. It kept replaying over and over again on the TV. On every channel it was the reminder of the pain.

// Monday actor Billy Boyd was in an accident on set. He was knocked unconscious when a light fixture came down from the sound stage. Hospital sources say his condition is severe. His family and his friends can only - //

Dom clicked the TV off and threw the TV Remote at the wall before collapsing in the chair, his head in his hands. It should have been him. It's what no one was reporting on, the light fixture should have hit him but Billy pushed him out of the way.

Now where was Billy? In some fucking hospital bed.

A knock on the door shook him out of his daze and he robotically walked over to the door. For some unknown childish reason he was praying it'd be Billy standing there calling him an idiot for worrying so much about a silly wound. Even though his heart was telling it wasn't going to happen.

The door swung open and Orlando and Elijah were standing there solemn looks on their faces. "You alright? I figured you'd be at the Hospital."

Dom felt tears burning in his eyes. "I…I can't bear to …." He looked away from his two friends tears streaming down his cheeks. "I…I..couldn't…oh God…" His knees buckled and he slid to the ground his frame shaking.

Elijah knelt down and wrapped his arms around his older friend. Dom sobbed into his shoulder. "I should have been there not me."

"We know, Ian told us what happened." Elijah whispered rubbing Dom's back. "He needs you, Dom."

"Yeh, the Doc said if Billy heard someone close to him that he'd come out of it quicker." Orlando added helpfully.

"What about his family?"

"Maggie? She tried. She begged us to get you."

Elijah smiled teary eyed as well, "He needs you."

*~*

The white walls of the hospital weren't exactly inviting as Dom walked in. The rest of the cast was there and then he saw a girl who looked a little like Billy. It must have been Bill's sister. She looked like she'd been crying.

"Oh! Dominic!" She hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her frame and held her as she cried. "Please…he needs you."

"I..I don't know if I can do anything." He stuttered trying not to join her in crying as well. "Where is the room..?"

She led him to the door and Dom felt his stomach tighten again as he stared at the figure surrounded by machines. "Oh…Billy." He let go of Maggie and walked over to the bedside trying to breathe. "He..Hey you are lookin' great…" He finally replied through choked sobs. "You said you'd always be there for me." He knelt down beside the bed. "You can't leave now. You can't. I won't let you."

Billy's eyes fluttered open causing the nurse on duty to drop her clipboard, it clattered to the ground as everyone stared wide eyed. Dom lifted his head and he stood up slightly. He could only stare tears streaming down his cheeks. "Hi, Dom." Billy croaked.

Dom leaned down placing a kiss on Billy's lips not caring who was present. "It's going to be alright, Billy. I'm here."
