I went home and put two new cases of monster in the fridge. Nick came out of my room and asked where I had been. I told him I went out for more monster. Alex came stumbling out of my room using the wall as support.

"You guys want to head over to Alexs or-"

"Yeah let's go to my house" alex said In a somewhat silly voice

"Why's he acting so off?" I asked Nick while we walked out the door

"We fucked and got a little high while you were gone"

"You smoked in my room?"

"No we smoked outside"

"How much?"

"I only had a little I didn't want to get like high high, but Alex had a little much"

"Jesus" I sighed

I drove us to Alex's house, Alex fell asleep in the floor of living room. I gave myself a tour of the house. While looking through the drawers of his dads room I found a note with Alex's name on it. When I read it all I could think was, oh.

I closed the note and put it back where I found it. I left the room and closed the door. Nick made some food and woke up a no longer high Alex.

"Karl come sit down you need to eat" nick said to me

"... I cant"

"Come on Karl it's okay" Alex said calmly

"I- I cant i can't eat i- i"

"Hey hey it's okay" nick said putting a hand on my shoulder.

It felt like i had voices in my mind telling me that i would die or something bad would happen if I ate the food. I felt like being sick.

"Come just take it slow, only eat so-"

"I cant!" I yelled backing away from them

"Karl calm down" nick said a little more aggressively

"Nick come on, you know what happened last time you got ma-"

"Don't talk about Wilbur!" Nick shouted at Alex

I blurred in and out of reality. I could tell that there was shouting but i couldnt hear it. All I could hear was buzzing. All I could feel was buzzing. I covered my ears trying to stop the buzzing but i couldn't. I felt like i was in the hospital again. Like i was about to run from someone i love.

"Karl!" Alex shouted.

I tripped and fell onto the couch. The buzzing stopped. The shouting stopped. Time stopped. I stood up and looked behind the couch. My sister.

Mia.

"Mia?" No noise came out of my mouth

I jumped other the couch and ran to her. I kept running. I couldn't stop running. If I stop running she will die.

I opened my eyes and sat up. Alex and nick were staring at me silently. I stood up and walked to nick. I put a hand in the middle of his chest. Hes here. He's real. I Can feel his breathing.

"What are you doing Karl?" Alex asked. He's real. I Can hear him. I'm not dying.

I stopped running.

"I need to go see my sister" i said blankly

"We can-"

"Alone"

I left the house and walked. I walked to the hospital. I ran to the hospital. I didn't stop running. Not yet. I entered the hospital and went to my sisters room. She was asleep. She was breathing.

She's not dead.

I looked around for my mom or dad but no one was in the room. I locked the door. I went to mias side and held her hand. It was freezing.

"Karl?" She said

"Mia you're alive" i said, relief fulling my body

"..yeah" she said tired "you kept running"

"Yeah. I kept running" i said tears running down my face

Banging on the door made both of us look at the door. It was mom trying to get in.

"Karl. I'm going to die soon" she said looking me in the eyes

"I know"

"You were the only one in the family who understood me" she said looking at our hands

"You were the only one that understood me" i said quietly

The banging got loud and more aggressive.

"Thank you karl. I love you" i heard a flat line.

Her hand slipped out of mine and her head fell over. I looked at the heart monitor, her heart stopped. More then my mom was hit the door now. Nurses were hitting the door while a doctor searched for his key. I Looked at my dead sister. She looked peaceful. I put her hands on her sides and put her head in the middle of the pillow. All I could think while the door began to open was

Oh.
