" No , you can't leave grandma . " Sixteen year old Zack cried from beside the hospital bed. His face was as red as  blood . He paused to hear footsteps hurrying to word the hospital dorm. The door swung open and four of Zacks friends hurried in.
" Zack ! " They called out.
" What happened? " Lucifer asked out of breath , tired from running up the three storey building.

Zack looked at his friends with teares still running down his  drenched face.
" She's in a coma . "
CJ's face went pale from all the shock. " Wha...what...but she was completely fine the last time we saw her  , and ... "

" Yeah , there's no way ... " Terian interrupted.   " She has always been so  cheerful, and she never showed any signs of illness ." 

" Ok , let Zack speak . " Lucifer said , while playing with his fingers . It was his sign of showing that he was stressed.

" You all know that grams has always been frail and that she never struggled with anything... "  Zack started.  " We all had assumed that nothing was wrong with her , but the doctor said that she has been hiding the fact that she was ill and now her body could not handle it any longer.. "

" What does that mean exactly ? " Terian asked. 

" It means that she has been fighting this illness for so long , refusing to go to the doctor, cause she did not want us to worry... " Lance said , his face blank .  " ...her body held out as long as it could . "

Zack looked really hurt as he looked as his grandmother's motionless noddy . He wished that it would not end like this , that his grandma should had told him about this and maybey , maybe he could have done something and ten she wouldn't have been lying here connected to a annoyingly beeping machine.

" The doctor said if she had gotten any later at the hospital then ...then her heart ... It ...it would have stopped. ? " Tears burst out of his eyes . He friends went over to comfort him .

After a moment of silence they heard the door open and the doctor came in . " I'm really sorry , but visiting hours are over , you guys can come again tomorrow. " He said as he wrote something on the paper attached to his clipboard.

" Are you going to be okay alone ? ..." Lucifer asked as he looked at Zack's pale face . " ... We could have a sleep over . "

" Nuh... I'm fine .  Cheers. " Zack said and walked over the lawn to his house . The thought of his grandma rushed him as he got into the quiet and empty house . It made his heart sink . He had thought  something like this would happen. Never . It even brought back thoughts of his parents.

His parents had died in a car excident while they were on their way to work  when he was only three years old. His grandmother  Lara Frost  had then taken full custody of him.  Lara  looked really young for her age and left people to believe, she was Zack's mother . She did everything she could for him even told him great stories about his parents. Sometimes Zack wished that he had known his parents , but he knew that he had someone who loved him . Someone who even welcomed his friends into the family , and did a lot for them as of they were her own sons .  She was like a mother to all of them.

The sun shone brightly on Zack's face that he had to cover his eyes . He had forgotten to close the window before going to sleep . His eyes stung from all the crying. 
He quickly got out of bed ,  took a shower, brushed his teeth and went down to the kitchen and made himself some  cereal. The kitchen looked so empty and was really quite with out his grandma. She would put on music and dance while preparing breakfast.
Zack smiled.

After breakfast he washed his dish dried it up and walked over to the leaving room . He thought of playing a game of Minecraft but , he did not feel like it .  He looked up at his parents's photo Wich hung on the wall . " What should I do ? " He asked as if expecting his parents to answer. He was loosing hope.

Zack's phone stared ringing , he quickly took it out of his pocket. This was a business number. He pressed the receiver button.
" Hello ? " His voice sounded shallow.

" Is this Zack Frost ? "  Came a  soothingly smooth AI like femail voice.

" Yes this is me  ." 

" The doctor has asked for you to come to the hospital... " The voice went on . " ... As quickly as possible . "

Zack's heart started beating really fast.
" What ?! ... What's wrong .?  Is it grandma? " And the phone went off , leaving Zack in dead silence. 
He quickly rushed out and locked the door and ran to the garage. He went into the garage and grabbed his old bicycle. His heart pounding even faster .
He raced down the road , not paying any attention to cars
Nor red lights . People were hooting and scolding at him , but he paid them no attention and rode even faster
