"Scott." I gasped. "You thought you'd seen the last of me." he said. I was too scared to say anything. "I'm back and I'll have my revenge." he replied.

It's been two years since Adam met Scott and the terrible nightmare started. They try to live...
I woke up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling in my body. I went into Max's room and she was sleeping. I lay my hand on her forehead and gasped. She was very warm. Max opened her eyes and looked weakly at me.
"Daddy." she said. "I'm here." I replied. "I don't feel well." said Max and coughed. I panicked and called 911. I picked her up and ran into the bathroom. I put wet towels on her forehead to cool her down. "You'll be okay honey, the ambulance is on its way." I replied. They arrived after a few minutes and took us to the hospital. This is the worst moment of my life.

I was sitting in an armchair in the waiting room and tried to calm down. Mom arrived and she hugged me tightly. I cried and cried. A doctor went up to us.
"How's Max, what's wrong with her?" I asked worried. "I think it's best if you sit down." he said. I sat down in the armchair with a worried look on my face. "Max is very ill and she may not survive." said Matt. "Noooo." I screamed heartbreaking. "We do everything we can to save her." he said. "I really appreciate it." I replied.
"You're a strong person Elliot and you're a wonderful dad to Max." said Matt. "Thank you." I replied. Matt gave me a glass of water. I took the glass and drank. "Thank you Matt." said mom and he smiled. "Do you want to sleep here tonight?" he asked. "Yes." I said. He nodded his head and left. I broke down crying.
"I can't lose her mom." I sobbed. "Me either." she said. "If she dies, I'll never be able to forgive myself." I replied. "Eli, it's not your fault." said Dani. "I know." I replied.
