Eyes don't lie.

Chapter 27.

Ethan.

I'm waiting outside for the medical check of Mia. Lena is talking to Carrie about something I can't listen. So I decide to speak with Fischman. So when I look at him, I try to talk, but he's looking into his deep thoughts. So I change my subject.

"What are you thinking, Doc?" I ask him.

"Oh, sorry... Uhmm, about everything. Love, typical cases, weird cases, and about your specific case. I feel... useless. I wish I could do anything, but that would mean years of investigation and stuff. And I also need to make public your specie. I know there must be other people with the same problem. But first we need to find out what is it with Mia, and then we'll do it public." He says.

"Do you think we could help you? I mean, at least I would love to. I've always loved biology and your lab is all about it, so I would love working for you." I say.

"Yeah, totally. I looked at your grades, don't ask why, and you're excellent. And you're an excellent friend also, it would be a pleasure for me if we worked together. But first, you need to finish your school and college". He says.

"Of course." I say, and I'm happy. Since I met him, my dream was to be like him, or work together, and now it'll be truth.

"And how's Mia?" Asks Fischman.

"She's better now, she woke up, and... talked to us." I say, Fischman reacts weird.

"What? She's awake? She talked to you?" He says, almost screaming.

"Yeah, why? Calm down!" I say.

"If she was sucked out of love, and you two, her lovers, went to see her, and speak to her, it would be a bomb of feelings and love. The thing that makes her sick. Oh my God, we need to check Mia". He says.

And everything stops.

Dr. Fischman starts running to the room, and opens the door.

I explain to Carrie and Lena what Fischman said. So we all go to the room, and Fischman is already inside.

Holding the hand of a dead girl.

And there's only one sound, an eternal whistle that comes from the machine that indicates that

Mia is dead.
