Bree hears birds singing around her and she slowly opens her eyes. She feels cool wind blowing her hair around and she has never felt so peaceful in her life. She tries to concentrate what's above her and it takes for a minute before her eyes fully get used to the sudden bright light. There's clouds everywhere and she can see sun shining through the clouds. She feels something tickling under her body and she turns her head to the side. She's lying on grass. She wants to stay there forever because everything just feels so perfect. She has no worries at all. Somehow she still knows she has to stand up, so she does. She's in a field and there's nothing but trees and flowers. She doesn't know what direction to go to but she just starts walking around, hoping that she eventually finds the thing she's looking for. Whatever that is.
She walks for what feels like hours, but actually is only 30 seconds or so, before she comes across a small cabin. There's smoke coming from the chimney and lights are on. She slows her pace as she comes closer and eventually stops in front of the door. She knocks it lightly, she's not sure why but it feels like it's something she has to do. No answer. She quietly opens the door and steps in. She's in their lab now. She turns around to see that the door is completely gone now.
"Bree, please come back" She turns her head again when she hears Kaz's sobbing voice.
"I'm here!" She shouts but he doesn't seem to notice. He's next to someone, holding their hand. As she monitors closer she realizes she's the one who's on the bed, whose hand Kaz is holding. Suddenly it all hits her. She's dying. This is it, right now, she's dying and her 'spirit' or whatever is leaving her body.
"No" She whispers as she watches her own deadly looking body and then her friends, family, all crying and looking defeated.
"It's time to go Bree Davenport" She hears a man's voice say behind her and she looks at the unfamiliar man. He looks gentle, bear-like.
"Who are you? Where I have to go?" She asks, turning back to her bed.
"I'm here because it's my job to make you move on to the next level. You're dying and it's time to go" The man says.
"Go where? To heaven? I don't want to go! I want to go back, I want to live!" She shouts and feels her heart beat faster. She's not ready to die, not when there's so much to say, to do.
"Some say it's heaven but I don't really know, you don't know until you get there" He says. Bree is about to say something when she hears Kaz's voice again.
"I'm gonna be really pissed off if you're going to leave us. You can't do that to us, please just wake up" Kaz sobs. Bree feels like her heart is breaking.
"This isn't true, I'm not dying! I have to go back" She starts crying. She looks at herself and wants to just slap herself right in the face.
"Bree wake up! Wake up now!" She shouts to herself.
"We have to go" The man says again.
"Bree please! Don't leave them! They need you in their life. Think about Donald, he can't lose his little princess, and think about Skylar, she just got a sister and now you're taking it away from her! And think about Scrawny here who has to deal with sad Skylar! And think about your brother, think about what you're doing to Chase, you almost lost him once and you know how damn horrible it was so don't do the same thing for him! Think about Adam and Leo who have to hear about your death over a phone call, you can't do this to them! And for gods sake, think about Kaz! You like him, really really like him so don't do this to him! Can't you see how this is killing him?! If you like him like you make yourself believe then WAKE UP! Wake up and show him that you care about him, it's not too late! Look around you Bree, look all these people! They care, they want you back! Don't give up!" She shouts to herself.
Kaz feels like he's drowning. He's not giving up, not when he knows she can wake up, he can feel it in his bones.
"Kaz she should've woken up already, it's been almost five minutes since I injected the antidote and I don't think it's supposed to take this long" Chase says with calm, but still devastated voice. It's hard for him, seeing her sister's dead body and as much as he wants to believe she's going to wake up, he's too pessimist. Before Kaz has the time to answer Bree gasps loudly and jumps to sitting position, her eyes wide open. No one moves and they all just stand there, waiting for whatever happens next.
"Please tell me I'm not dead" Bree says, breathing heavily and looking around, hoping that she's not dead. She's scared that it really happened and she died since no one says anything and it feels like they don't hear her again.
"Bree!" Skylar is the first one to actually process what just happened and she jumps to her sister's neck. Happy tears start running down Bree's cheeks, she did it, she's alive.
"I was so worried we lost you!" Mr. Davenport exclaims and joins the girls' hug.
"Don't you EVER do that again!" Chase says happily and joins the hug, followed by Oliver.
"Good to have you back!" Oliver says. Only one is missing the group hug and that's Kaz. He feels too dizzy and sick he has to get out of there. He's truly happy that she woke up, more than he ever thought was possible and all the feelings he's feeling are too overwhelming and he can't breathe. He needs fresh air.
"You are not supposed to stand up young lady!" Mr. Davenport shouts to Bree, who's trying to get out of the bed.
"But I'm bored! I've been lying here for almost two hours without nothing to do! I'm fine. Chase's antidote really helped and I feel great" Bree tries to convince him but he still looks skeptic. Bree had been lying on her bed for the past two hours and she was bored out of her mind. The only good thing about being in bed rest was Adam's and Leo's video chat, which made her day a bit better.
"I'd like to keep you in bed until we get your bionic chip back on you" He says.
"And when is that going to happen? In a day, in a week? You said we have to wait until I'm fully recovered, which I am by the way, so I'm not going to just sit around doing nothing" She says, frustrated that she's not allowed to do anything. Although she is bored, the real thing why she wanted to move is that she wants to see Kaz. She hasn't talked to him since she woke up and he never came back when he left. She's not sure if he's mad or something but she has to see him.
"Okay, but if you feel sick in any way then you come down here immediately, do you hear me?" Mr. Davenport says with his father-voice.
"Yeah yeah, I promise" She says.
"Okay then, go do your things" Mr. Davenport eventually says. Bree smiles and stands up from the bed and heads upstairs.
Kaz is in the balcony, sitting on a sunbathing chair. He feels ashamed not going back to Bree but he doesn't know what he should say if he goes there. 'Hey Bree, you woke up from being almost dead and I just ran away because I'm scared of how I feel'. It's ridiculous, he could never say something like that to her. She probably hates him already.
"Hey" He hears Bree's sweet voice behind him and he almost jumps. He wasn't expecting her to show up.
"Umm.. Hey! Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" He asks a bit awkwardly and rubs his neck nervously.
"Yes, but I got too bored. You can't believe how exhausting it is to listen Mr. Davenport's rambling for two hours non-stop" She says with chuckle and sits down next to him. Kaz smiles, he can imagine how boring that must be.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that" He says and chuckles as well. He loved how easy things were with Bree. They didn't even have to try and they still had a great time together.
"So what's up?" Bree asks. She really wants to ask Kaz about the whole almost dying thing and so on but she doesn't want to push him, she almost died two hours ago and she doesn't want to scare him off or anything.
"Nothing. Actually, I want to say I'm sorry. You know, for running off like that" Kaz apologizes.
"You don't have to be sorry. I get it, I almost died. I know it can be overwhelming. When we once thought that Chase died, I felt like I couldn't breath. So I understand why you had to be alone, you don't have to be sorry about that" Bree says "Although I don't understand why you didn't come back".
That was the sentence Kaz was scared of. He knows he should've gone back but he was simply too scared.
"I know, I'm sorry" He apologizes once again and doesn't dare to look at her.
"So why didn't you?" She asks simply, it's not a hurt one or questioning one it's just a simple question.
"I was scared" He admits but regrets it right a way.
"Of what?" Bree asks surprised, it wasn't what she was expecting.
"I don't know. You. Me. Us. Everything" He stutters and doesn't know what to say. He feels her eyes looking at him all the time and he feels his neck heating up a bit.
"I don't understand" She says and it's the truth. His words makes no sense to her at all and she's not sure that is it something she's supposed to know already but she just doesn't get it?
"Don't worry I don't either" He laughs and dares to look at her but once again he regrets it. Bree's brown eyes just seem to look right into his soul and it scares the shit out of him.
"Kaz you know you can tell me everything, right? So if there's something that bothers you then just tell me, I can handle it. Whatever it is" She says with a smile and takes his hand in hers. She feels warm spreading all around her body. She really missed that feeling. Kaz really wants to tell her but he's too scared and the timing is not right either. He just has to wait.
"I know but I can't tell you this, not yet anyway. It's kind of a personal thing and I haven't figured it all out yet but when I do, you'll be the first one to know" He explains and gives her a smile. He knows she's going to let it slide for now since that's what they normally do.
"Okay, you tell me when you're ready" She says and squeezes his hand reassuringly. She wants to know what's going on in Kaz's mind but she wants to wait that he's ready to tell. If the table was other way around she wouldn't want to be questioned either.
"Okay then. Come here you" Kaz says smiling and pulls Bree into a hug. He's really happy that they sorted things out and that Bree is okay. He doesn't want to even think about what his life would be without Bree in it. Bree wraps her hands around Kaz and rests her head on his shoulder. It feels completely natural to both of them.
"Thanks for saving me, again" She chuckles while still holding onto him.
"Anytime. Thanks for surviving" He chuckles back and closes his eyes for a moment, just savoring Bree's scent and the moment itself. He's the one breaking the hug first since he doesn't want to stay in that position too long and make it awkward in any way.
"So, when you're getting your bionics back?" He asks casually, like nothing ever happened. Like it had been just an ordinary mission day and no one had almost died.
"Who knows, Mr. Davenport is too scared I might break if he gave my chip back right a way. So I'm guessing he will be ready in a year or so" She chuckles and Kaz sneers.
"Classic Mr. Davenport" He says. And with that it's like everything in the world is okay.
