The next day, everyone was sitting in Chloe's room, well everyone was standing except Emily. Beca had thought it would be good for her to use the chairs to rest her knee even though she swore she was fine. Erin popped into the room. "Guys, it's 5:30, time to say your last goodbyes."

Beca took a deep breath. "Ok, let's all just go out in the hallway and we can go one at a time. I'll go last."

Ben stepped forward. "I'll go first."

They all nodded and stepped out of the room. Ben walked over to Chloe. "Um, hi Chlo, so this is our time for last goodbyes, and this is gonna be hard, so bear with me. Um so thank you for being such a good friend for the past 5 years. I really appreciate how good you were with Anna when she had the miscarriage, and I promise we'll help you through yours. So I have to let some of the others go now, but thanks so much for everything and we love you."

Jesse went next. "Chloe, you and Beca are two of the most important people of my life. You're an amazing person, and I'm so happy you're a part of my life, and I don't want that to end. Thank you so much for everything Chlo. I love you like a little sister."

Nick went next. "Hey, so i just wanted to say I love you so much, and you're an amazing person. I want you to wake up so I can propose to you. So until then, I love you more than anything."

Emily quietly limped into the room. "Hey, aca-mom, you know I always loved that joke, and I have no idea why. Thank you for everything, Chlo.  For letting me move in and you know, not wanting me to crawl under a rock and die, because that would have sucked. But thanks so much for everything and I love you so much.

Anna went next. "Chlo, I love you so much, you're like a sister to me, and I couldn't be more grateful. I hope you're ok because I honestly have no idea what I would do without you. You and Beca, you two have been like sisters to me, and Chlo, you're just a ray of sunshine that I can't live without. I love you so much, we all do, so please stay."

Beca gave her a quick hug before she took Harper into the room. Harper was crying. "what do I say to her?"

Beca shrugged. "I dunno, sweetie, just tell her you love her and you hope she's ok."

Harper nodded and walked over to the bed. "Aunt Chloe, thank you for being here for me and mommy. Mommy always talks about how sweet you were to take us in when she was fighting with daddy, and even though I don't remember it, I know that you're always there for me, and I don't want you to go away because then you won't be here anymore. I love you Aunt Chloe."

Harper cried into Beca's shirt. "It's ok, sweetie. Can you go out by daddy for me?"

Harper nodded and ran outside as Beca went over to the bed and sat down on the chair. She grabbed Chloe's hand. "Ok, so this is really hard, and I'll probably break down a bunch of times but I'm really gonna try to get this over with. So I met you almost 10 years ago, and I never thought you would have had such a positive impact on my life, but you have, immensely, so thank you so much. We've been attached at the hip for the longest time now, and I don't know what I would do if you weren't with me. You're my rock, Chlo, I mean there's never been a time when you couldn't be there for me. You've come over at midnight to talk to me and I've done the same for you, and we always would stay up and end up falling asleep on the couch. Those were the best nights, I loved them so amuch. And our aca-family with Em, she can't lose one of her aca-moms. And I can't lose my imaginary aca-wife! You're not even like a sister anymore, you are a sister, and we have this tight bond that holds us together. And even if the worst possible thing happens, we will always have that bond and just know I love you so much, and I could never lose you, never, Chlo. So please please please live, because I need my big sis." Beca smiled through the tears. "And I know you'd give me a big speech on how 2 years doesn't matter and I'm more mature so I'm like the big sis, even though you're taller than me, so I don't know. But you're my sister and I love you chlo." Beca took a deep breath as she saw Erin and another doctor standing by the door. "I think it's time now, Chlo." The rest of them walked in and gave her a hug.

Erin took her aside. "I couldn't be the one to unplug it."

"Thanks Erin."

The doctor walked over and unplugged the machine. The beeps on the machine turned into one long beep as Beca looked at the heart monitor and saw a completely straight line. She fell into Jesse's arms and sobbed until he helped her up. "They're restarting her heart bec, wait and see."

Beca stared at them and watched as Chloe's heart started beating again on it's own. "She's alive! Guys she's alive! She'll be ok!" Beca was crying tears of joy now, along with every one else. Erin gave her a hug. "I knew she'd be ok. She'll probably start to wake up later tonight, so if you want to stay, you're definitely welcome, it's just that we don't want everyone in here because if she doesn't remember you guys, she'll be scared shitless, so I think just you would be good for now."

"Yep, just me, Anna said she would take Emily home and help her out. Thanks so much for everything, you've helped me so much."

"No problem, sweetie. She's lucky to have you."

"Nah, I'm lucky to have her."
