Michael's P.O.V.:

        Ashton and I decided to go a get some coffee. We were now on our favorite coffee shop in town. We were talking about the past. How we met, how we met Luke, how I met her. Just as I was about to tell him something she told me in one of the visits I paid to her, he received a call.

        "Yes? ...wh-is she okay? ...okay, I'm coming.", I heard him say as I kept drinking my coffee.

        "Is everything okay?", I asked worried.

        "Ye-no. I have to go, Mike. Something happened with Alice.", he said, standing up.

        I got even more worried. What happened? Is she okay? Last time I saw her...she wasn't.

        "I'm coming with you.", I said standing up myself.

        "Mike, I don't think is a good idea. You shou-"

        "No. Ash, I'm coming with you.", I cut him off.

Alice's P.O.V.:

        My head hurt as hell. I felt my brain moving in my skull. I opened my eyes slowly, the lights blinding me.

        "Alice, hi.", I heard a familiar voice say. I looked over to Dr. Hood who was in a chair beside my bed.

        I then looked around. I was in the emergency wing.

        "Do you remember something?", she asked me, with worried eyes.

        I closed my eyes and focused on remembering.

        "Yes."

     Just as she was about to say something, Dr. Irwin and Michael, the volunteer, came in through the door. Dr. Hood looked over to them and stood up. She said something to Dr. Irwin that I couldn't hear and then they made their way out of the room.

        "Michael, please stay with her while we talk outside.", Dr. Hood said to Michael right before leaving the room.

        "I don't need him to take care of me.", I thought, rolling my eyes.

        He looked over to me and smile. I just looked the other way to avoid his eyes.

        He cleared his throat. "So...", he started saying. I just kept looking to the wall to my right.

        From the corner of my eye, I saw him making his way over to me. He sat down on the chair next to my bed. "How are you?", he said, worry in his eyes.

        I looked at him and just...felt something. I don't know what it was; I have never felt this before.

        I examinated every inch of his face and admired how he was looking at me.

        "I've....I've been...", I cleared my throat. "I've been okay.", I looked to my hands and played with them. "Y-you?", I asked, not looking over to him.

        He chuckled. "Yeah, I've been okay too.", he said looking to the ground. I frowned. "Why the chuckle.", I thought. 

        Dr. Hood and Dr. Irwin came into the room. "Would you please leave us alone for a few moments with Alice, Michael?", Dr. Hood asked to the now black haired boy, with a sweet voice.

        He stood up and got out of the room after glancing at me for a second.

        I looked up to Dr. Hood and Dr. Irwin that were at the end of my bed.

        "So...Alice...", Dr. Irwin started saying. He looked nervous. "What is he nervous about?", I thought.

        Dr. Hood was looking to the ground. They both looked so nervous but what for?

        And then...they dropped the bomb...

        How could this be? It was gone. Where they lying? No. They couldn't be lying about this. It's not a joke. It is not a fucking joke. I was in shock.

        They just said: "we're gonna leave you alone now.". Like that would make it better.

        "Don't say anything. Don't tell anyone. Specially Michael. Don't tell him no matter what.", I managed to say. They stopped in their tracks in the doorway.

        Dr. Irwin turned around and looked at me. "He has to know.", he told me.

        "I know.", I said. "Just not now.".

        He looked at me and nod. Dr. Hood and Dr. Irwin finally made their way out of my room.

        It was quiet. So silent. And I started crying. I cried until everything hurt. 

        How could this be?
