"drowning in tears" 

Some light tears left Violetta's frozen eyes. She couldn't move anymore, everything was frozen. Her hair could break off any minute and she didn't feel her fingers or her toes anymore. She was curled up to herself, still in the hollow tree. 

Leon and the others were back in the hospital, they had been searching all night as it was now 1 in the morning. 

Leon first wanted to keep looking and refused to go back, but the others convinced him. They had already searched the entire town, including the woods were Violetta was hiding. They only skipped the hollow tree where she was freezing in. 

She thought they would've found her by now, but she was miserably wrong. Now she had no choice anymore, she had to stay there. She wasn't strong enough to take herself back to the hospital, she was frozen and weak.

She knew that she made a mistake going there, but now there was no turn back anymore. She had to wait for the guys to find her.

Meanwhile Leon and the others were worrying sick inside of the hospital. They were walking up and down the hallway, just to stop stressing. "We need to find her now! She could be freezing to death, please let me search." Leon begged Herman and the doctor. Federico, Diego and Andres were standing behind him, agreeing with him.

The girls were put to sleep with sleeping pills, they had totally lost their minds. When Herman and the doctor finally agreed to continue serching they made a plan.

Pablo would stay here with the girls, making sure they were alright. Leon would search in the North of the city. Diego in the West, Federico and Andres in the East and Herman and the doctor in the South. 

They ran out of the hospital, all having a jacket on and carrying an extra one if they would find Violetta. The freezing snow hit their bodies but they all got in their cars. 

Leon drove to the North of the city, parke his car and started searching. The others did the same in their own areas.

Leon ran through the dark night, screaming Violetta's name. 

On that single moment, 3 am in the night, Violetta heard Leon screaming her name. She had been here for more than 24 hours as she had never been so relieved to hear his voice.

She took all her power and took a deep breath. "Leon!" She tried to scream but it didn't came out loudly. All her power was gone. But even though it wasn't loud, Leon immediately recognised his girlfriends voice.

He ran to the tree where the sound came from. He saw the wheelchair standing there, as he sighed relieved. He walked around the tree and saw the freezing cold girl sitting inside of it. She smile when she saw his face.

"My love" He whispered, embracing her tightly. He felt her hair crack between his arms on which he pulled away quickly. Her body was ice cold, it felt almost dead. "Here" He said and placed the jacket around her body. 

He then lifted her in his arms and placed her frozen body in the wheelchair. She was unable to move anymore, every muscle in her body was frozen and she could barely keep her eyes open. "Please, stay with me princess" Leon begged before he pushed the wheelchair over the path. 

It was a tough ride through the snow and Leon was totally out of breath when he reached the car. He sat her down in the car and placed the wheelchair in the back. "You'll be fine, I promise" He said before he started the car.

Violetta was still freezing cold and in the exact same position as she was sitting in the tree. She couldn't think clear anymore, it was like her brain got frozen as well.

She couldn't keep it any longer and she closed her eyes. She fell into a deep sleep, breathing unstable. Leon felt how his hearts sunk in his chest. He drove on full speed back while he texted the others that he found her. 

When he arrived at the hospital he saw Diego standing ready with blanckets, the doctor had driven Violetta's bed outside, and Federico was holding a sweater. 

Leon stepped out of the car and lifted her out as well. "She feel asleep in the car, and I don't know if she's okay. Her body is freezing cold, we need to hurry" Leon quickly said to the guys who nodded. 

Federico pulled the over-sized sweater over Violetta's head. Diego wrapped the blanckets around her body and then Leon placed her on the hospital bed. The doctor drove the bed quickly inside, to Violetta's room. 

She was covered with white blanckets, trying to warm her ice cold body. Leon and the guys ran into the room after the doctor. 

"We are going to do some tests to check her condition. You can wait with the girls in the waiting room, I'll tell you when you can see her" The doctor told Herman who was the first one in the room.

His daughter was unconcious in the hospital again, he was hopeless. She was his only light and he needed her a lot.  

Leon looked sadly at his girlfriend laying in the hospital bed again. He only wanted her to be happy. While he looked at her his eyes glanced over the silver bracelet she was wearing. 

The memory of the love confession from Violetta shot back in his mind.

"Violetta I know something is wrong with you"  Leon stated and grabbed Violetta by her arm which made her turn to him, "You have been crying, I can see it. You're tired and you're not taking care of yourself, tell me what's wrong. I'm your friend" 

Violetta felt his last words stab in her. He's her friend. Only she was deeply in love with the guy.

"No, there's nothing" Violetta tried and in her eyes welled up tears. She didn't want to cry in front of him, he couldn't know something was wrong even though he actually did know already.

"Violetta stop lying" Leon's voice got more angry now, but still a slight part of worry was heard.

"You want to know the truth?" Violetta then suddenly said. She turned her full body to him, they were standing face to face. Leon nodded quickly at Violetta's question.

Her eyes locked with his as she couldn't hold her feelings in anymore. This was her chance and she took it. "The truth is that I'm in love with you Leon Vargas. I'm deeply, madly in love, with you" She felt the weight that she had lifted drop of her shoulders.

She told him. She told him the feelings she had kept inside for too long. 

Leon was staring at Violetta in a deep shock. He had feelings for Violetta, but he had always managed to hid them. He hid those feeling for everyone, including himself.

But at this moment all those feeling came up. The love he felt for her changed from love, to in love. He couldn't understand his feelins anymore, only one thing was clear. He wanted to kiss her.

He grabbed her face in his hands and pressed his warm lips onto hers. She got shocked, but didn't hesitate a second before kissing him back. 

And there they were, kissing for the very first time. Leon pulled her closer to him hungrily. HE never wanted her so bad. They continued kissing until they heard a bell ring, the school bell.

Violetta immediately pulled away, a smile was graved on her lips. "I love you too" Leon told her before turning around and running to his class. 

Violetta stood there in the hall, processing her feelings. She was happier than she could ever be. Becuase the guy she loves, loves her too.

That's how she stood in the hall of the school, staring happily in front of her. Not caring that she was already 10 minutes late for class.
