i woke up in the hospital bed. " this is the last place i want to be" i said. i thought i was alone but hunter looked up now " lyss you're awake" hunter said running towards me pulling me into a hug. he was the last person i wanted to see. " how are you holding up" hunter asked sadly. my heart dropped to my ass. " i forgot..." i said. a tear rolled down my face. " hunter tell me i'm dreaming no tell me i'm having a nightmare and none of this has happened because this sucks ass" i said letting all the tears out. " i know it does " hunter said embracing me and kissing my head. " but you don't" i said quietly. " you're right i can't imagine losing my mother after she was the only thing left but i know it would suck ass" hunter said. " i'm sorry" i said. " it's okay" he said. " it's just you're all i got now..." i said. the doctor came in the room. it was the same doctor that tried to resuscitate my dying mother but failed to. i glared at him " well ms alber you are free to go you're vitals are fine and so is everything else i'd call yourself lucky" the doctor said. " yeah far from it, i would have rather died" i said. " is that what you were trying to do trying to get yourself killed" hunter said with hurt in his eyes. " yeah i was, hunter what do i do from here on out, i have no money, no job." i said. " i'm gonna take care of you" he said. " yeah and what am i gonna do when you decide to leave my life too" i said. " well that's not going to happen" hunter said. " yeah and my mom wasn't supposed to die and look what happened" i said turning away and wiping my tears. " whatever" hunter said leaving the room. i got up and got dressed then left he hospital. i sat in my car " this isn't possible i'm only dreaming" i kept repeating to myself as i drove home.
