SHLEBY'S P.O.V.

 "Hello? Yes this is Sheby Sullick." I said into the phone.

"Ma'am, your sister, Alexandria Levas is currently in the hospital. Just thought to let you know. A friend of hers, Mr.Christie, told me to call you to inform you. Goodbye." the person on the other end of the line hung up.

     Allie was in the hospital? What? How did this happen so fast, so quickly. Was there a plane acident? No, planes are safe. 

     Then I suddenly remembered something. 

     Josh. I fucking called Josh. I told him, I told him, I told him.

TYLER'S P.O.V.

     I sat there, right by Alex's side, stroking her soft hair. She was asleep, and I wanted to be there when she woke up from it. She looked so perfect, sleeping there. 

     I then relized that she's been the best I've ever had, she's been with me thorugh all the this pain, through my sadness, she's always been there for me. I need her to be with me, just forever. She makes all my pain go away, everything is so much better with her, and she's definitely much better than the rest, besides Quinn. 

"I love you, Alex." I said looking at her innocent face.

     Her eyes slowly crept open, and she whispered,"I love you too Ty."

     I then bring my face close to hers, about to kiss each other, but were interrupted by the door creaking open.

"Allie! Hi baby, I've missed you so much!" Shelby yelled.

Shelby then proceeded to make her way over to Alex, and embrace her tightly. "Shelby get off of me!" Alex cried.

"But Allie, you're my faaaaaaorite sister! I love you!" Shelby said as she continued to hug her. 

     Soon the doctors came, needing to do some doctor medical shit. Shelby and I were told and escorted out of the room.

"Hi Tilly. How's it been?" she asked.

"Anything but good. I just, I don't want to talk." I replied.

"You think you don't want to talk? I don't even want to live anymore Tilly. My dear, ever since Quinn passed away, I don't want to do anything! I don't want to face the world, but I do it anyways my dear. And would you like to know why, my friend?" Shelby snapped.

"I-I guess." I stuttered.

"Because of Quinn. She wouldn't want any of us, especially you, to die so young, like she did. And I always feel that it was my way on raising them, that it was my fault that Quinn died, that it all happened because I go custody over them. And you want to know how I deal with the pain, Tilly?" she then asked, knowing that she was already going to answer the question. "You have to become a sponge. Absorb the pain, and then when you need to clean up a mess, you then release all of the pain, Tilly. Yet the thing is, me, I don't release. I keep absorbing the pain, I keep enduring this misery. I just absorb, and it all bundles up until you explode, isn't that right, my dear? Because it simply is. And there's nothing you can do to change it."

     I just sat there in awe, the fact that the girl that I've been thinking that has been going insane over the last seven months, is not insane. She is a dysfunctional sponge, only absorbing pain, never releasing it to fix herself, or to empty out her feelings. I finally understood what it meant to be in Shleby's place of the death, I finally understood it for the first time.
