He leaves the room and walks into another. Sheets of blood coveres the floor. "I remember this room." a faint, sour voice, speaks. Jamie walks up to it, to see his mom. His face quickly becomes angered, seeing her condition. Blood. Scars. Cuts. No mercy. "Mom." she coughs a bit of blood. "I'm perfectly fine boy." she coughs more. "See.... Tada!" she tries to exclame, in a scratchy sour voice. Diana was always the one to make Jamie happy. This was her false attempt in doing so. "N-no mom! We gatta get you out of here! We gatta get a hospital!!!" his eyes get teary as he held her hand. He places his hand behind her back. "'Gatta' isn't a word. Say 'have to' instead.'" 'A grammer lesion?! Really!? At this hour!?' he thought to himself. "Jamie..." he holds onto her thumb. "I want you to take this." she adds. "It will bring me happiness before I die." He drinks it and she smiles. "I won't let you die!" he picks her up. She coughs more blood. The crimson liquid flies onto a close wall. "What happened to Elizabeth?" He askes her, hoping the answer isn't what he thinks. His mother sighs. "Take a guess." She says to him. She would always do this with a surprise or just when Elizabeth came over. "Dad...?" he asked her. She nods. "I'm sorry Jamie." Jamie feels a tear roll down his cheek, onto his chin. It falls on Diana's face. "I wish this were a TV show.. that way, the tear would heal you." he sobs. "I'll protect you. I'll make sure you don't die mom." He runs with her in his arms. Her weight was a challenge for him, but he pushes himself to his max. "Jamie... I love...you.." she closes her eyes, and falls into a sleep; death. "MOM! PLEASE DON'T JOKE!!! I NEED YOU MOM! I LOVE YOU!" he places her body down and cries like a 5-year-old. "I've always loved you mom." he manages to say.
