Alright. I'm working on ending this story, believe it or not. This chapter is pretty short, but I wanted to update sooner than I usually do....
What do you think?

Recap: Scarlett, Erick, and Alice get in a car accident.

Chapter 19
Scarlett's P.O.V
A loud, rhythmic beeping noise suddenly crept into my consciousness. I focused on it, slowly becoming more and more aware. I finally opened my eyes, pulling an arm up to rub them. Along with my arm came a few cords, and I realized that it was an IV. My eyebrows knit in confusion and I looked around me. I was in a small hospital room. My mom slept in a chair next to me; her blonde hair was a mess.
"Mom?" I choked out, my voice very weak.
"Mom?" I said again, a bit louder.
She stirred and woke up.
"Scarlett!" She exclaimed, jumping up to my side.
"What happened?" I asked, incredibly confused.
"You don't remember?" She asked, and I shook my head. It hurt a bit, but I ignored the pain as best as I could.
"Well...you got in a car accident...with Erick and Alice," she explained. I nodded silently.
"Are they okay?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Alice is in about the same condition you are in. She woke up a few hours ago," She informed me.
"But what about Erick?" I asked, silently praying to myself that he is alright.
"Honey, Erick is in a coma. It's not looking good for him," she announced, avoiding my gaze.
The tears welled up in my eyes and a few fell silently. I wiped them away and held the rest in. A nurse walked in when I noticed something. I can't feel my mom's emotions. Normally I feel everyone's emotions as if they are my own. It's the same for the nurse. Nothing. The nurse smiled warmly at me.
"I'm so glad to see that you are awake!" She exclaimed, maybe a bit too optimistic. I mustered a small smile and she proceeded to take my temperature and such.

I'm actually going to add an end-note.
So...Scarlett's powers are waning and were are not sure if Erick's going to live. (Quite frankly, I'm not even sure. I don't want to kill him...but idk. What do you think?) I'm getting closer to the end..I have an idea. But once again, I'm not completely sure.
Thanks so much for reading this. :D
