"What? What about my wrist..?" I look down and see scars and look back up. "What's going on alex..? Why can I see you? Why do I have scars?" I ask and she walks closer. "Alec I need to go now but you need to wake up. You need to live. You need to be there for mom, you need to be alive." She said "What?" I ask as she starts to fade away. "Wait! What do you mean wake up!?" I scream and she fades away.
"What just happened..I was talking to my dead twin? How? Why? What did she mean by wake up? Why did I have scars?" That's what I kept asking myself in the darkness. But I kept going back to one question. "What did she mean by wake up?" I have no Idea but now i'm alone in darkness.
Then I see something far away. I get up and run towards it, slowly making shape. There it is. Light. I run closer and stop. I see two roses.. "Why are there roses?" I ask myself. "The last rose..From the last day..You must choose.." I hear a voice say. I stay looking at the roses. A white rose on the left and a black rose on the right. "Choose now!" the voice yells and without really thinking I chose the back rose and suddenly I hear a beeping noise And open my eyes.
I'm in a hospital. Why? I don't know if this is strange. I look to my right and there is a black rose with a note. I lean up and read it seeing there is no one else here. "The Black Rose is a symbol of rebirth." It read as I set it down. My mom came in. "Alec! Your awake" She said "What happend..?" I asked and she looked puzzled. "Well you see alec...you had a mental breakdown after school one day which I found out was from Your break up with liam.." She said
"How long ago was that..?" I ask "A week ago Alec..you came to me and said you were going to take a shower and seemed upset..I didn't think much of it but when a hour past I went to check on you and found you on the floor.." She said. "Then I called 911 and you have been asleep sense..." She said "Oh...How bout this flower?" I asked, "Oh, I'm not sure Someone sent it to you." She said. "Oh okay.." "Well I'll Go get the doctor" she said and walked out and I layed back. A few days later I was sent home. When I got hom things were different. Mom would do everything and so would dad. I tried telling them it was all okay but they wouldn't listen. Parents never do but that's fine. I really just had a difficult time talking to my friends so I didn't do much. But that was fine..Right?
