The last few days have been amazing. Carter and I snowboarded and I almost totally forgot about Charlie. But then I came back to real life. I am just finishing packing up the car for Carter and I to go home. I am sad that we are leaving but it is to go see Charlie. I am nervous to see her. I don't know what of her.

"Hey Aspen let's go! We have to go see Charlie!"

"I know, I'm just really nervous. How is Mason doing?"

"He is a mess. He still refuses to leave her bedside. He just wants her to wake up that's all."

"Ok let's just go."

"You should sleep Aspen, you look exhausted!"

"I'll try...I just wish I could dissapear right now."

"Well let's go. Try and sleep please." Carter says worriedly

"Okay"

At that we get on our way. I almost fall asleep instantly. Carter wakes me up after we arrive at the hospital. The lady at the front desk tells us that Charlie is in room 254. I hesitate as we approach the door. Carter knocked and Mason answers.

"Hey buddy."

Mason lunches forward and grasps Carter in a bear hug.

"Hi, and hi Aspen." Mason says

"Hi" I say quietly.

Carter is about to ask the one question I did not want to hear.

"How is Char?"

"She is okay I guess. You guys can come in if you want." Mason says

"Okay" I whisper silently

We walk in and I see Charlie laying in bed. She looks so peaceful just laying there. I hate it. She is just laying there breathing. I walk over to her and touch her. She is freezing. But she is breathing. I don't want to leave her. Carter tells me that we are allowed I stay for ten minutes. When we have to leave I feel like Charlie is going to wake up at any moment. Carter finally convinces me to leave the torture room.
