My hand gropes for Darcy's and when I find it, it curls around my hands warmly.

At least I'll always have Darcy with me. A nurse in blue pokes her head out the door.

"All immediate family please come to the room to see Megan Wong," she calls.

Mrs. Hawthorn gives Mrs. Wong a light push, and she takes Mr. Wong's hand, then walks bravely toward the door.

Dylan (I know, even he's here) asks, "Will Megan die?"

I flinch, and Mrs. Delaney scolds him, "Dylan! Never say that! It is rude!"

Dylan drops his head. "Sorry, Mom."

Mrs. Hawthorn wraps her arm around Emma and pulls her close. Cassidy is trying to put on a tough and confident face, but she's failing terribly. Becca looks the worst. Her face looks white and her eyebrows are knit together. She's wringing her hands, and muttering to herself who knows what. She's continuously shifting her feet. I don't know how I look, but it must be worried and anxious.

Mrs. Chadwick tries to put her arm around Becca but she throws it off.

"Don't touch me!" she snaps. Wow, Becca must be really anxious and tense. I'm so surprised when Mrs. Chadwick doesn't snap back, she just backs away respectfully.

I think I spotted the tiniest of flashes of annoyance in her eyes, but it quickly is masked over. And I only think.

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but it doesn't matter anymore, only that Megan is okay.

Everyone is standing around awkwardly, until I can't stand it. I duck outside and breathe in the fresh air. I hear footsteps behind me and whip around. It's only Darcy.

He slips an arm around my waist and we stand close, watching as the sun goes down. It's such a beautiful day for something like this to happen.

I whisper, "Darcy, I'm so sorry that I acted like that."

Darcy kisses my hair and whispers back, "Jess, I understand. Just remember, I will never, ever ever, forget anything for you. Because I told you, love comes first. So I don't care if I miss a sports practice, if it's for my beautiful girlfriend."

I kiss his cheek, then say softly, "Let's go back inside. I only wanted to be outside because I wanted to escape all these worries and I wanted to breathe fresh air, not tense and stuffy air."

Darcy nods. "I understand. I wanted to do that myself, but you did it first."

I laugh softly, but it fades a second later. I shake my head. "Oh, Darcy. I'm so worried about Megan!"

He nods. "I'm worried too. She used to be my girlfriend."

I pull away from him and stare at him. "Darcy, do you still have feelings for her? I thought you were over her! Do you know how much it hurt when we broke up the first time, and you asked Megan to prom?"

He takes my hand quickly. "Oh but Jess I love you! I'm completely over Megan! I only asked her out to prom, then I stopped and went back to you!"

I force myself to relax so Darcy will see me, but inside I still have several doubts, which I push away. Darcy would never lie to me.

We go back inside, but then I stop in my tracks.

Why do I think that Mrs. Wong is crying?

Oh no, why is Mrs. Wong crying? Please tell me what you think it is, and I'll wait one day for guesses, because I already know what's going to happen. Please only write your thoughts on this and your guess, please do not write something asking me to update right now, because remember that you'll have to wait. . .how about half a day? Thanks!
