(A/N: Heyo! As I said in the description, this is just a random scene I discovered on my Google Docs. If I ever get any ideas, I might turn it to a story but the chances of that are low. Very, very, VERY low. So please, just enjoy one of the many random things my imagination creates!)

~~~~~~~~~~~

E watched as the faint figure before him fell to the ground. He ran over to A and lifted her head.

"What's wrong? What happened?" E asked frantically.

A was barely hanging onto consciousness, her eyes had rolled to the back of her head. Her arms and legs were convulsing.

"No, no, no. Please no." B cried, taking the still shaking A.

"What's happening?" E asked again.

"I think she's having a seizure. I thought she outgrew it. She told me she outgrew it..." B sobbed.

"Outgrew what?"

"Her epilepsy."

"She's epileptic? I never knew that." E said.

"She hasn't had a seizure in a long time. Most kids outgrow it by the time they are teens. But A...we need to call her parents and an ambulance. Can you get her parents please?" B asked quietly as he gently rolled A on her side.

E could only nod and run. He ran as fast as he could. He wouldn't lose A.

"Hello E, is everything alright?" The sweet sound of A's mother questioned as she opened the door.

"No, no it's not. A she...she...she's seizing. B is calling an ambulance right now."

"Oh my gosh. Honey! It's A. We need to be with her right away."

A's father jogged into the room and E explained while they ran to A and B.

They arrived just as A was loaded into an ambulance.

Her parents quickly jumped in and off they went.

B pulled out his phone and called C.

"B! What's up?"

"E and I are on our way to pick you up. A was just rushed to the hospital."

"I'll be ready in three minutes."

~~~~~~~~~

E was pacing back and forth in the waiting room waiting for any news on A. Her parents were the only ones allowed in the room.

C and B were asleep. C was resting her head on B's shoulders.

The door opened and out came A's parents. They had been crying.

"How's A?" E asked eagerly.

A's mother shook her head.

"SUDEP." she whispered.

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy.

E fell to his knees.

~~~~~~~~~~

The day of A's funeral was bright and sunny. Much to everyone's dismay.

How could nature be so happy when today was so mournful?

A lay peacefully in a beautiful white coffin. Her long, curly brown hair spread beautifully on the pillow. Her dress, a beautiful light pink that would've matched the once rosiness of A's cheeks. So many people came to celebrate A's life. E wondered if A ever knew how much people loved her. How much he loved her.

He should've done it. He should've gotten over his nerves and just asked A out. But it was too late. He was always too late.

~~~~~~~~~~

The day after her funeral, the friends of A gathered around her grave. Eyes red from never-ending tears, their faces stained. B was the first to speak.

"It's so weird that you are gone. You were taken way too soon. I loved you like a little sister. You always came with a smile on your face and a sparkle in your eyes. You were always the first person I could talk to if I ever needed a shoulder to cry on or advice. You always knew what to do. I miss you a lot. I would give anything just to see your smile one more time." He said, his voice shaking.

Person C, who was A's best friend went next.

"You were my very first best friend. You were the only one willing to sit with me during lunch and class. You showed me kindness when no one else would. You accepted me and showed me love. B's right. You lit up every room you walked in. You always made everyone happy and knew exactly what to do in any given situation. I would give anything just to call you late at night and talk for hours again." C said, her voice hoarse and dry.

Next came D, who surprised everyone when she showed up. She constantly teased A and tried to make her life miserable. After A's death, D cleaned up her act, and was accepted in the friend group. A would've like it.

"I know that I wasn't always kind to you. Okay, maybe I was never kind to you. I need to explain why. If I'm being honest, I was extremely jealous of you. You had so many people who cared about you. You had a tight group of friends who would do anything for you and vice versa. You had outstanding grades and every teacher loved you. You had both parents who loved you more than anything. You had everything I wanted but couldn't have. Sure I was the most popular in school, but I didn't have real friends. I want you to know I'm sorry. I would give anything to go back and be your friend." D finished.

Last to go was E. He had been the last to join the group, but had quickly fallen in love with A.

"Wow. I can't believe you are gone. It doesn't seem that long ago when I first joined our group. I thought you were really shy but the more I got to know you, the more I realized how amazing you were. I always loved you and I will always admit it. But I always thought I loved you as a friend. I didn't realize until it was too late that I loved you more than that. I loved you as a partner. I could see a future with you. I could see our wedding, our future house, jobs, kids. I regret never telling you how I feel. I wish I would've. I would give anything to hold you in my arms again." E had a solemn look in his eyes. Ever since A passed, his eyes were dull and grey.

They all picked up a dandelion.

"I wish I had my little sister back." B spoke up.

"I wish I had my BFF back." C added.

"I wish I had my frenemy back." D chimed in.

"I wish I had my love back. I wish I had you back." E concluded.

They all blew on their dandelion, watching as the feather like petals blew away in the wind.

The group of four friends began to leave, not noticing what was happening behind them.

"Hey! You can't just say those things and then leave me!" A voice said from behind them.

The group turned around to see A standing in front of them, glowing. She had on a beautiful, light pink, flowing, long sleeve dress that went down to her ankles. Her long hair waving in the sudden wind.

"What? A how on earth...?" E questioned.

"Like you said, I wasn't meant to go yet. I have been given a second chance somehow and I intend to live life to the fullest." A smiled as she held out her arms.

A's friends rushed to her, holding her tight in their embrace, as if she were gonna fade away any minute. Lucky for them, she wasn't. D stayed behind, unsure whether she was welcome or not. A noticed and held her hand out, gesturing for D to join the hug. After a few minutes, the hug disbanded.

"You guys are the bestest friends I could ask for. B, I will always be here for you no matter what. C, you can call me whenever. D, I forgive you. If you want to, I would gladly be your friend." A said.

"I would love that. Thank you."

A nodded and turned to E.

"And E, I've always loved you."
