"Hey, what's your real name, Z?" Min asked while drawing her. She looked at him, her face full of thought.

"To be honest, I don't know. My father calls me Cameron Jean.  My mother calls me whatever she feels. So I guess it's Cameron Jean? Or Jean. I like that better." Z shifts her back to get more comfortable. 

"Huh. What a beautiful name my lovely Z." He smiled to her. She looked back at him with a smile on her face as well.

"I-I've never told anyone my name before. Don't tell anyone." He nodded.

"Sure but why did you tell me then?" She frowned.

"I don't know. I felt like we were supposed to meet. Like I was supposed to fall into you.  Does that make sense?" She looked up at the ceiling again.

"Yeah, it does. You said someone pushed you right?" She looked at him again.

"I thought so, how do you even remember that?" He smiled.

"It was the day I met you. And it was weird. The room was huge and there is no place to hide. I wonder how they managed to push you and then run that fast?" He stopped drawing to think.

"You have a point, maybe no one pushed me and it was just my legs giving out or something.

"Yeah, maybe. Anyways its been six months since we met. I only just found out your name, what about age? Birthday?" He went back to drawing and she looked back up to the ceiling.

"Don't know. Maybe 18? But I have no idea when my birthday is. Sorry..." A tear rolled out of her eye. He frowned.

"You shouldn't apologize for something you can't control." Her face lighted up with a smile.

"Your right, like always. How old are you?" She turned to her side.

"I'm 19 but, am about to be 20. My birthday is next week." She sat up. A huge smile across her face.

"We should celebrate! We could ask Mary to bring a cake, I think she likes you."She mumbled but then started again. "And I'll make you something! It could just be the two of us. Or if you want you can invite other people!" She voice showed pure excitement. Min's face lighting up. But a bigger smile grew when he thought of something.

"We could celebrate your birthday on my birthday! That way you can celebrate as well! Or..." Min trailed off, Z when sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him to continue.

"Or?" Z went closer to him with her face.

"We could steal or look at your file. They would have everything! Your real birthday, your age, and your name!" He smiled at her. Her smile fell, but soon she realized this was her only chance to know the most basic things about her. Her body full of determination.

"Let's do it!" Min jumped off the chair and hugged Z. She was surprised but gave in to the warm feeling that came from it.

Leaving Min's room and going to the directors office, Min waited for Z to do her part.

"AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Z screamed gaining everyone's attention.

"What whats wrong?" A male nurse walked up to her.

"Everything!" Z screamed and then punched him. After that some more nurses came to calm her down and to stop her from hurting anyone.

Min took his chance and went into the room. The directer had left not that long ago, and thank to Min's training he knew how to unlock the door. He went to the cabinet in the corner of the room and started to go through it. He first went though the C's but there wasn't any thing then through the J's, still nothing though. He through and the female patients but she wasn't there. 

He then looked around the room and found a little drawer in the desk. He managed to get it open and, his and her files as well as a few others were there. He didn't know why but his had a mission to finish. He opened the folder and looked at it but there was only a picture or her and under it says "Goes by the letter Z." The rest had been sharpied out.  He felt bad but had to get out as fast as possible. He put everything back the way he found it. and locked the drawer and cabinet and then the door after he left. After he got out of there he made sure Z saw him so she would stop. 

 She then fell down, pretending to faint. He pretended to care but really he knew the truth. Z would get in trouble for this, they both knew that. Z was okay with that. After that day though something changed in Z. She became meaner, scarier and colder. She was mad when Min told her that he couldn't find the information that she wanted. They still celebrated Min's birthday but Z didn't want to take away for his special day. Mary brought the cake and it was just the two of them. The day after, on his real birthday, RJ came over. He wanted the two to mert but Z's mother had come over. RJ had just arrived and they started to talk just to catch up.

End of the back stories......

Z walked down to her room. She felt like something was all wrong, she didn't feel right, or safe. She was going to sleep it off. By the time she got to her room the scream for the old rank 5 rang out. She sat down on her bed and laid down slowly. She turned to her side and looked out the window. Slowly she started to fall asleep.

"Min, you need to leave. Trust me. I've been by your side for a long time haven't I? RJ's voice rang through her ears like he was right by her.

"I can't do that RJ. I need to stay with her. What if she wakes up and-" RJ cut Min off.

"SHE'S NOT WAKING UP!" He yelled, anger filled tone. "She not waking up Min." His voice broke. She could hear the sadness that now replaced the anger.

"She will. I know her. She's the strongest person I know." Min replied but everyone could hear how he didn't believe that himself, he was losing hope.

"We need to let her go. You need to let her go, Min." RJ's voice was filled with sadness but he continued.  

"If you don't it'll tear you apart and crush you into pieces. I lost a friend, I don't need to loose a brother. Please.." He walked away. Silence filled the room. Then a little sound, a whimper. Min was crying. Hearing that she wanted to cry as well but more importantly she wanted to wake up. It was just as she thought, she was imagining everything before. She and Min Park were never a couple. Lucky didn't live and most importantly, she didn't know how to wake up.  But like hell that would stop her.
