Hey, I'm back, and this one is for my princess, who needs a little help. I love you Princess, and I just wanted you to know, that this will all get better, and you can make it through this. Well... Here you go.

Riley sat at the table, the new clock chiming 11 times, only another hour till midnight. She looked out at the driveway, wondering where he was. Suddenly, her phone buzzes, and she whips it out of her pocket, only to wish she hadn't. It was Maya. She answers the call, knowing Maya wouldn't call at a time like this unless it was serious. And it was. Her face pales and her heartbeat quickens, as she rushes out the door, mind racing. Words echo in her head as she hurriedly swipes her subway card, running to the subway that begins to close its door. She manages to leave a voicemail for her parents as she slides inside in the nick of time, but no one seemed to care. That's because they didn't know.

"Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain"

Words began to creep into her mind, as scenarios flitted through her mind, increasing her anxiety. She gripped the bar in front of her, and squeezed tight.

"I need you in my life,

Or I'm not alright.

So don't walk away,

I won't be okay if you do.

I just don't wanna lose you."

The subways stops, and she raced up the stairs, her hair flying wildly behind her, but she couldn't care less. She pulls up to the entrance, and walks up to the front desk. The look her own face brings realization to the nurses, and she leads Riley down, a million halls, a maze that's never ending. She attempts to be comforting, informing her of the situation, and what happened, but she can barely hear the nurse, as she tries to keep a straight face, when she walks into the room. The doctor blocks her path, but she catches a glimpse of her purpose, her reason to be here at this moment. And her heart breaks further.

"And the walls came tumbling down

In the city that we love.

Great clouds roll over the hills

Bringing darkness from above."

Maya walks up silently beside her, along with Farkle, and the three of them stand silently. The heart monitor beeps ominously, and the doctor is feverishly checking his statistics. The nurses are bustling around, refilling his IV bag, giving him fresh pillows every now and then. Suddenly, Farkle farts, breaking the silence, and they laugh as their tears fall on the floor. But Riley's heart throbbed more, her own will and sanity bending to the breaking point. The boy on the bed moans, stirring, and everyone freezes, praying that he will wake, but he remains immobile, the the team continues their rush to keep the boy alive. Finally, their parents show up, offering their condolences, and as Riley stole one last look at the boy in bed, his eyes fluttered open, and one pleading look was all it took. She nodded, tears flowing freely, sobs wracking her body, and trudged out of the hospital, anguish swallowing her whole.

"You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing"

Days pass, and not a word of good news from anyone. School is a blur, and she is barely able to pay attention. She sits alone in lunch with Maya and Farkle, all of them having one person on their mind. Being at home isn't any more comforting, her parents doing whatever they could to helpher, but it went in through one ear, out the other. Hours would fly, as both her and Maya would sit in their balcony window and cry. Riley gripped her own phone, hoping and praying and wishing, that it would just ring, and his voice would come out of it, warm and welcoming. But it never did. Daily visits were becoming a routine for them, and soon, Lucas's doctor knew them all by name, but that didn't help his condition. Times when Lucas woke up were a blessing, rare to see and rarer to have witnessed, and even in his disintegrated state, he was still the helpful cowboy. As time progressed, it seemed like, he might even heal according the the doctors, and the words he would say would still ring days after he had said them.

"The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
"

It's been a month, his condition only getting worse. The doctors now feared there would be no tomorrow, with only the slightest hope he would make it, and after some forethought, Lucas called Riley in, who came in alone. Her puzzled look spoke volumes, and she opened her mouth to say something, but he shook his head. Her solemn look causes him to crack up, and he makes her vow to never let something like this bring her down so low. She finished the vows, but the beeps are getting to slow, his voice is almost too low. He takes her hand, now wet with tears, and pulls her closer, as he says,

"I will love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always."

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

Hey princess, i know that wasn't exactly the happiest ending. I know you're really struggling right now, and I know that right now seems like a really rough patch.

I admire you for your ability to keep trucking on despite the conditions, and I know you can do this. You have the support of your friends, who love you dearly.
