Calum was rushed to the hospital and Nicole was following close behind.

He was still unconscious and Joy and Mali was crying due to what happened to Calum.

Nicole felt sorry, she didn't mean to hurt him- she let her anger take over her and she did not think straight.

So she went to the operating room to see Calum and saw an open wound on his head, she didn't know his head hit a broken glass from the floor.

She stood beside Calum, watching the doctors put tubes on him and wires that were connected to his body.

"I'm sorry Calum. I didn't mean to hurt you." she apologized as she kissed his head. "I never meant to hurt you but you're the one to blame." she sighed.

Calum's heart beat was beating slowly and she was afraid he wouldn't wake up.

"Mom? Mali?" he called as he started walking.

"Calum?" someone called and he turned to see Nicole with a sad look.

"What do you want?" he asked, obviously scared.

"I'm sorry." she apologized as tears started to fall in her eyes. "I didn't mean everything."

"Nicole, it happened." Calum sighed as he ran his hand through his head, "I don't know why you lied in the first place- you shouldn't have."

"I know. I know." she sobbed and wipe her tears away. "I can stay away from you when you survive Calum-"

"You should have, right now." he cutted her off.

"I'm afraid, I'm not finish yet." she said.

He pulled a confuse look, "Wh-what do you mean not finish yet?"

"If you wake up and have already forgot me- I'll suffer in hell but if you wake up and still remember me, I'll be happy and will be leaving this place." she explained.

Calum thought about it for a while, "So you're here to be happy and you chose to be happy with me?" he asked.

She nod with a small smile on her face, "I always wanted to be around you, Calum. Forever but I'm afraid I can't. I hurt you, it's all over."

"It can't be over when we don't want to! Nicole, you've been in my dream since we were 16 and I can't just let you go like this."

She smiled and hugged him, "You can let go, Calum. I'm happy that I made you happy throughout these years. And you don't have to remember every single thing-"

"No, Nicole. Don't say that- I'll still remember you, I promise when I wake up. You'll be up there not down there. I never wanted to hurt your feelings in the first place as well." he admitted.

"I know that Calum, but I've crossed the line. I hurt you- I wasn't supposed to hurt you." she cried once again on his shoulder as he rub her back. "It's time to let go, Calum."

He shakes his head, "Not yet, Nicole- it's still not over. I'm not going to wake up if I have to let you go."

She pulled away from the hug and moved back- away from him, "I'll be leaving once you wake up- but always remember I'll be still somehow in the back of your head."

Then by that- Nicole faded and Calum was left there standing as he slowly fell to his knees.

"100 percent." one of the doctors says, "Clear." then they tried to bring Calum back to life.

"We need more power." one of them says.

"This is 200 percent."

Nicole was watching them in the corner of the room as Mali and Joy watch Calum outside the room and Joy could pass out within a minute.

Nicole went out of the room and looked at Joy with pity, "I'm sorry Joy, Mali. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have hurt Calum- if I wasn't a soul right now, you could have hurt me."

Mali looked up and Nicole pursed her lips and frown at Mali- "Nicole?" she asked.

Nicole was shocked when Mali called her, she wasn't expecting Mali to see her.

"You can see me?" she asked.

Mali nods, "Yes- Nicole. I-I- you have to get back to your body. You must be the girl who was brought here 5 minutes ago." she said.

"What do you mean, 'my body'?" Nicole asked confused.

"Go to room C30- you'll see there." Mali said and Nicole didn't waste time going to that room and there she saw herself.

She doesn't have any wounds on her body- but scratches on her arms and legs and few from faces.

"What happened to me?" she asked.
