Jade Allen's POV: 

February 23, 1998

My eyelids opened and were adjusting to the light. The sudden wake-up was because of Hazel. she was crying. 

"What happened?" I yawned. 

"My stomach hurts" She wailed. I placed my hand on her forehead. 

"Shit, you're burning up," I said. "Okay I'm going to be right back just close your eyes" I ran down the stairs and noticed it was completely dark. I poured water into a glass and brought it upstairs. I glanced at the wall clock in my room. It read 4: 47 

It was almost 5 AM?! Hazel's eyes filled with tears as she drank the glass of water. I walked towards Enzo and Blaise's room. I was in a panic. I didn't know what to do. Usually, when I was sick, there was always someone there. Like Madam Pomfrey or Molly. 

"Hazel has a fever," I said as I jolted open the door. They followed me to my room and sat beside her. 

"hey," Blaise whispered. "How are you feeling?" 

"My stomach" She cried. I looked at Enzo in panic. I ran down the stairs and grabbed the bottle of Ibuprofen and ran back upstairs. 

"Here Hazel you need to drink this," I said as I poured into those little cups. She took a sip and then she started throwing up. Like really badly. 

"What do we do oh my god" I panicked. Hazel looked so pale as she threw up. She cried about it hurting. 

"Please make it stop" She wailed as she continued to vomit. "Make- it stop" Seeing her like this was so hard. The vomiting stopped and she laid down on the bed. I gave her sips of water from time to time as I read to her. 

"And they lived happily ever after" I ended. She was still in a lot of pain and was crying. I thought that reading would help but it really didn't. 

"Am I gonna die?" Hazel whispered. butterflies filled my stomach. 

"No! You are not going to die. You are going to live a long life Hazel" I said. "I love you, Hazel" 

"I love you too" She responded. The tears in her eyes didn't stop. She kept crying. Enzo was sitting on the other side of Hazel. 

"Hazel, you are an amazing little girl," Enzo said. He kissed her forehead and glanced at me. I shot him a worried look before refocusing myself on Hazel. 

"My mom always said that if you're scared, just close your eyes and think about the things that make you happy," I said. 

"You make me happy," She said as she looked at Enzo and me. I kissed her hand and smiled. She started wheezing and finding it hard to breathe. 

"I'm gonna get the steam," I said as I ran down out of the room. I grabbed the steam out of the shelf and ran back up the stairs. Blaise was making breakfast. I opened the door and saw Enzo crying as he held Hazel's hand. She was pale, eyes shut. I ran towards her and tried to find a pulse. 

"No, No, NO" I screamed. "NO NO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED" 

"She's gone" Enzo cried. I broke into tears. And I didn't stop. I continued to weep and weep.

All three of us were devastated. We couldn't speak or eat or do anything. We all sat in different rooms. It was almost dinner and all I had eaten was a piece of bread. I just couldn't do anything. I felt so broken. 

My door opened as I saw a teary-eyed Enzo. I looked at him and then looked away. He sat beside me. I placed my head on his shoulder as I continued to cry. 

"I can't believe she's gone" I sniffled. 

"I know," Enzo said. 

"Do you remember when she caught you doing magic?" I chuckled as I cried. 

"Yeah and all I could see was the excitement in her eyes," Enzo said. "And you got so mad" 

"Yeah, I did" I chuckled. "I'm really going to miss her" 

"We all will," Enzo said as he used his finger to lift my chin towards his face. He pecked my lips. I laid down on my and shut my eyes as Enzo placed his head on my chest and fell asleep.

"We'll bury her today,"  I sniffled. Everyone agreed as we ate our breakfast in silence. "I can't believe a little girl like Hazel made such a big impact on our lives" I cried. I got up from the table and ran up the stairs crying. I couldn't take it anymore. 

I walked into my room with rage and picked up all the storybooks from the bookshelf and began throwing them onto the ground. 

"Jade, shh it's okay," Enzo said as he ran into the room and embraced me. 

"No! No it's not okay" I shouted. "She was a child. ~ Child" Tears streamed down my eyes. 

"I know," Enzo said as he tried to calm me down. 

"She didn't deserve to die" I cried. I fell to the ground. "Take the pain away" 

"I wish I could," He said. "Wish I could" 

"My mom died, my aunt died in front of me, and all the break-ups, You being tortured in front of me, Hazel dyeing" I cried. "There's only so much I can take" 

"Just let it out," Enzo said as he stroked my hair. 

"Do you know what it feels like to have everyone in your life just stop" I wailed. "Stop being part of my life. I'm pretty sure you don't" 

"I don't," Enzo said. "But I know that you are the strongest person I know" 

"Enzo don't do this," I said. "Even you're hurt! You have to stop acting like you don't feel anything" 

"I don't do that" He responded. 

"You do that all the time," I spat. "And then you push everyone away" 

"What do you want me to say? That I'm hurt?" He screamed. "Of course I'm hurt!" I pulled him into a hug and we just sat there, on my carpeted floor, together.
