Starr: so what happened?.

Maddie: it was accident, parents and their son. The father died while we were trying to saving him, the mother and her son are in coma.

Starr (with sadness): that's so bad.

Maddie: yeah!, when the father died, i felt that i had late, even though i hurried to save him.

Starr: it's not your fault, maddie.

Madeline (while she wiping her tears): yeah, i know... I know.

Starr: i sent a message to him and he didn't see it.

"madeline got up and sat beside her on the bed."

Madeline: sometimes we need to forget some events and memories that happened in certain period of our lives.

Starr (wondering): forget some events and memories?!.

Madeline (with a little smile sad): when you got out from here, you will forget that you were sick, you will forget every memory that happened here and you will forget me, too.

Starr: what are you saying?... Of course i won't forget you or forget my memories here.

Starr: he don't want me, right?.

Madeline: who?.

Starr (angrily): peter, Maddie.

Madeline: forget him as he did.

Starr: what?.

Madeline: he asked me to tell you that you were a good friend for him, but now...

Starr (with sadness): now?!.

Madeline: he said that each one should walk his way.

Starr (trying to believe): i'm not his girlfriend, i'm his best friend.

Madeline: that's not useful now.
