           Chris's head had been ringing for hours. He couldn't explain it. He thought hours had past but it could have been days. It could have even been a month. He couldn't think. He couldn't understand what was going on. He understood sure but he really didn't understand. He had cried until he stopped crying, he had seen Kathy's unconscious body. He had sat in the ambulance next to her as the doctor did their best to regain her consciousness. He had heard everything. Was Kathy okay? She wasn't, was she? Why was his head still ringing?
          "Kathy has had a heart failure and she'll need a donor to save her life"
He thought the ringing was bad until he heard that. It hurt. It was uncomfortable.
Just stop already.
The arms around him tightened. Who was that?
" I don't get you. What are you saying? This is not- what do you mean?" Someone that sounded like his mother was saying.
"Ms Cameron, I know you and your family are going through a tough time but you need to calm down"
"I am calm! This is me being calm!"
What was happening?
" Sunshine"
That voice. Derek.
"I don't care what you do, how you do it, please save my daughter. Please I beg you", he sounded like she was crying now.
"Well the thing is, unless she personally finds a donor, the heart transplant surgery will have to wait because your daughter is at least seventh in line"
"So she's going to die"
Die? Who's going to die? What was even happening?
"She's currently on life support but she-"
"There is not hope, is there? You're telling us to say goodbye"
"Ms Cameron"
" What's going on here?" Another voice said. Who was who?
"Mrs Borghese", someone else said. Who?
"Kathryn Cameron has had an heart failure and she'll need a donor"
"Oh, what can be done? No scratch that, do whatever needs to be done. I'll personally take care of everything", the new voice said again.
"Ma'am"
Everyone was silent. Why was everyone silent? Why was everyone fading away? Why was his mouth dry? What was happening? Before he could control it, the world faded to black.
            Chris opened his eyes suddenly and sat up. He looked around the strange room. Where was he? Where was this? His gaze finally landed on a familiar face. 
Oliver.
Chris wanted to be relieved but he still didn't get what was happening. Where was happening?
Oh God, Kathy.
He was going to throw up.
" I swear to God, if you throw up, I'll end you myself"
He turned to look at Oliver again. Oliver? What was happening?
" Congratulations, you almost dehydrated yourself to death"
He looked around again.  What?
"You're also delirious. Didn't even know delirium could be diagnosed"
Chris looked to the door. What?
"You almost gave your mother a stroke, you know? Like she was one second away from having a heart attack. Your sister needs a heart transplant. Congratulations you almost made your mother need one*.You're a whole basket case, Chris. You're impossible. Are you happy?"
What?
" Can you even hear me? God are you lost"
Oliver suddenly stood and sat next to him on the bed. When did Oliver get here?
"Your boyfriend had to go to his workplace.  Your mother is resting in another room. Your other mother forced me to stay here with you.  Blink twice if you understand what I've just said"
What?
"God, you're out of it" he saw him roll his eyes. Where was Kathy?
Oh no. Kathy fainted.
" If you start crying, I swear I'm going to bolt"
Chris heard the whimper.
"I can't do this. I can't baby you like everybody does. If you break down, you're on your own. I'm not a nice person. I mean it, Chris don't you fucking cry"
The whimpers were louder and more frequent.
" Did you hear me? If you break down in tears, you're on your own. I'm going to leave this room and you're going to be alone"
Alone?
Oh God, Kathy had a heart failure. She was going to die. His mother yelled at him. His mother hated him.
" Oh you're impossible. You're so annoying"
What was he yelling? Stop yelling.
He felt his mouth moving and making some sounds. Was he speaking? He felt water on his cheeks. They were indoors, weren't they? Rain couldn't get in here.
" I'm going to leave if you don't stop. I'm seriously going to leave. You're not a child anymore. You should be in the other room comforting your mother"
The sounds he was making got louder. Where was Derek? What was happening?
Suddenly, he felt his head hit a hard surface. The hard surface was beating. No, not a hard surface, a chest. Who was even with him? And why was he making such loud noises? He felt strong arms around him next.
"I hate you so much. I hate you"
Hate? Why? What did he do?
The noises, he realized, were sobs, his sobs. He was sobbing because he was sad. He only cried when he was sad. The strong arms tightened around him. His stomach was twisting. His gut ached. He was throwing up the next second.
