Chrene's P.O.V.

Ivan and I rushed our way through the entrance and got his parents information before getting on the elevator and heading up to level six. It was just Ivan and I and two female nurses in the elevator. Ivan was so tensed as he leaned on the elevator's side. I slowly laced my fingers through his left hand and I see him almost wanting to pull back but he eased up at my touch.

I just wanted to make him feel better.

We speed walked to his parents assigned room, only to find Luke sitting on the cushioned purple chair in the mini corner. 

"What happened?" Ivan rushed over to Luke. Luke stood up, over towering his little brother, but then asked Ivan to take a seat beside him while I sat across from them. 

"Mom and dad got in a accident on the road." Luke says, in his most calming voice.

"What? How? Where's grandpa and grandma?"

"After you guys left, they wanted to stop by at Walmart to buy some vegetables but then..I got a call from the hospital and rushed over. I don't know the details. Gramps' and grams' went home right after you guys because they needed to feed the animals." From afar, I could see hurt and pain filling both of the brothers eyes. "Mom and dad are having a surgery right now and their car was totally wrecked." Luke added.

"What?!" Ivan screamed and that's when the tears streamed out of Ivan's eyes. They say a woman's tears are the most painful thing to see but, men tears are actually more...precious.

And it pained me to see him like this.

Luke's phone beeped and he excused his self to answer it and walked into the empty hallway. I walked over to Ivan and sat beside him.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay." I assured him and patted his back and rubbed it in circles with my palm. He sniffed and hid his face into his hands.

"Hey Ivan, I have some business to take care of. I'll be back as soon as possible and give me a call if anything goes wrong." Ivan didn't reply anything but we knew he had heard his brother. Before Luke left, he mouthed a 'thank you' towards my way and I responded it back with a reassuring smile. I stood up to go grab some snacks for us but Ivan's hand gripped mine.

"Please don't leave me." The tears strolled down his cheeks and I could feel my eyes stinging.

That was all I needed to hear, for me to stay.

Nonetheless, I wasn't going to leave him crying there.

Ivan's P.O.V.

"Ivan, I'm going to have to leave you." Chrene says to me as she laid on the hospital bed in a polka dotted gown.

"What? What do you mean?" I tugged her hand up to my chest.

"I just want you to know that I love you." She smiled at me as tears rolled down her pale cheeks. Her lips were dry and colorless.

She started to fade away from me as she slowly pulled her hand away from my grasp.

"Chrene, no! Chrene! Chrene-"

I jolted awake with sweat  on my forehead. What the hell was that about?

"Ah, Mr.Festch you're finally awake." A male doctor walked towards me with a clipboard. I was currently sitting on a small couch. Where the hell was Chrene?

"Yes." I cleared my throat. "How are my parents?"

"They're still getting rest after the surgery- it was successful, but lots of damages to their bodies. They are currently on level four in room four hundred one."
