* 3 WEEKS LATER*

(Elizabeth's POV)

Finally I am getting out of here! Ryan has been so great to me. He has been stopping by every day, just like he said he would. I heard a knock on the door and I went to answer it, which was a horrible idea. "Can I hel-" I started to say, but stopped when the person started hugging me.

(Jaime's POV)

-"SHE'S WHAT?!" I yelled at my parents.
-"Jaime Alberto Preciado, don't you DARE yell at us." My father said to me. "Please, just sit down on the couch and let us explain." I did as my father said.
-"Why didn't you tell me about this before?" I asked my parents.
-"Because she made is promise not to tell you or anyone."
-"Well what a great job you guys did." I mumbled. "Well where is she? Where is she staying?"
-"At the _______ hospital in the mental ward. But you can't tell ANYONE Jaime. Please!" My mother begged.
-"I won't madre. I promise. I'll be back later."
-"Tell Elizabeth that we said hi." My father told me as I was leaving the house.
-"Si papi!" I said, and with that I got into my car and went to the hospital.

On my way there, I kept thinking about what my parents had told me. Was Liz really alive or did my parents just want to get me out of the house so they could plan something? Oh well, I guess I'd find out sooner or later.

I got to the hospital. I was nervous for some reason. My guts were telling me to go in and find out whether or not Liz was alive, but my head was telling me to run away. I decided to go in. I went up to the lady at the front desk.

-"Excuse me, ma'am?" I said, getting her attention.
-"Yes, how may I help you young man?" She asked politely.
-"I-I'm here to see my sister who is in the mental section. Her name is Elizabeth Preciado." I told the receptionist.
-"One moment please..." She said and started typing stuff into her computer. "She's in room 316-A on the second floor." She handed me a visitor's pass.
-"Thank you."

I walked down the halls of the hospital until I found the elevators. I pushed the button to go up, and after waiting for what seemed like a million years, the doors opened. I got in, pressed the number "2" button, and the doors closed. I should have taken the stairs because I have a terrible fear of elevators. 

Soon enough the doors opened and I calmly walked out...in my dreams. I RAN the fuck out of that elevator as fast as I could! I started looking for the room number. "314-A.....315-A.....316-A." I mumbled to myself. By now I was over excited, but also scared. "What if she hates me and tells me to leave? What if she gets mad at mom and dad for telling me that she was still alive?" I asked myself. I guess I would just have to find out.

I reached for the door and knocked. I heard movement inside the room and then someone finally opened the door. "Can I hel-" she said. It was her. I was Liz. She was alive! I didn't even let her finish her sentence. I just gave her the biggest and tightest hug that I have ever given anyone.

-"Liz, thank God you're okay. I-I thought you were dead." I said.
-"I was supposed to be..." She mumbled.
-"W-why in the world would you want to die?"
-"I don't want to fucking talk about it right now. You shouldn't even be here. Why ARE you here?"
-"Mom and dad sa-"
-"I KNEW THEY COULDN'T KEEP A FUCKING SECRET!!"
-"Liz, calm down." This guy, who was in the room, said from behind her. She turned around and went out of sight. The guy then came over to me and reached his hand out. "Hey, I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you." I shook his hand and replied.
-"Jaime. Nice to meet you too. And you are?"
-"I'm Elizabeth's friend and doctor. I take it you're her brother since you both mentioned "mom and dad.'"
-"Yeah, yeah. Umm...c-can I come in?"
-"One sec..." Ryan said before going over to Liz, talking to her, and coming back over to me. "Sure, come on in."
-"Thanks." I said. I noticed that Liz was packing her things up. I wondered where she was going to go. "H-hey Liz, you're getting out of here today right?"
-"Yep."  She said coldly without even looking at me.
-"Where are you going to stay?" I asked her.
-"I guess at a hotel." She replied.
-"Nonsense, you can stay with me." Ryan said.
-"Really?" Liz asked, looking up at him and smiling.
-"Of course!" He replied.
-" Then I guess I'm staying with Ryan."
-"W-well, don't you want to come home? Be with your family and friends?" I asked.
-"No. And if you tell ANYONE that I'm alive, I will chop your balls off while you're asleep." She said with rage in her eyes. I slowly put my hands over my crotch and yelped.
-"You mean "anyone" as in Vic, Tony, Mike, Ronnie, Nadia, Christina, and Pierce?"
-"No, I mean Leonardo DiCaprio and the fucking Pope. YES I MEAN THEM! Idiot..." She mumbled that last part.
-"But, why don't you want to come home? What's so bad about home?"
-"Because what's so good about picking up the pieces? What if I don't even want to?"
-"What pieces?" I asked, confused but interested. What she said could make a good song.
-"Jaime, I just want a fresh start. Please just accept and understand that." Liz sighed. She looked at me with her big blue eyes. They seemed to be begging me to let her go. I felt like I was going to cry. How could I just watch my baby sister walk out of my life? Just like that? I let a tear escape and replied.
-"O-okay. I'm gonna miss you Liz."
-"And I'm gonna miss you too big brother. I'll come visit you before you leave." She said and hugged me. I hugged her back.
-"Promise?"
-"Promise."
