Nurse Gothel is here.

"How are you this morning? I'm surprised you're still here, but also thankful. You've got quite a crowd, they all want you to stay. So you need to decide." with that, she turns on her heel and leaves.

Everyone slept in the waiting room overnight, not that many people actually slept.

Where's Flynn?

He caused all that trouble to try and see me, and as soon as he gets the chance, he leaves.

Gran is wresting her head on Gramps shoulder, Ariel is doing the same with Eric, and you can tell they have all been crying.

A stab of guilt surges through me.

I know I can't stay, so why don't I go? Save them the tension of waiting, and the nurses the fuss.

Willow is biting her nails nervously, the coffee in her other hand is shaking, so Henry takes it off her and wraps his arms around her.

Flynn's band mates are still here, Snow came not long after they did. She and Cinderella are holding hands tightly, as if they won't let go.

I'm surprised when I see all four of their faces, they've all been crying! I don't really know Shang and Naveen as well as I know Cinderella and Snow, so I don't know if it's the situation they find upsetting, or if they just get emotional.

I walk out of the waiting room, and towards a large glass wall/ window.

Outside are large, bright green tree's, and of course the car park.

All of a sudden, Beethoven is playing.

I jump back, looking for the source of the sound.

There are no speakers, just walls.

Where is it coming from?

Without realizing, I run back the way I came.

Flynn is in the ICU.

"Flynn, you're here." I breath a sigh of relief.

He has placed headphones over my ears, and has an IPod in his hands.

As soon as Beethoven is finished, he takes the headphones off, and takes my hand in both of his.

A probably goofy grin crosses my face, as he blows warm air into my hand.

I can't actually feel it, but still.

My stomach drops, I know what he's going to say.

"Rapunzel..." he whispers, looking at my lifeless hand.

"Don't." I can't hear this now, i've made my decision.

"Stay." With that one word, tears start falling down his face.

"I'm not dumb enough to think that I can fix what happened, but I will do anything, I can't lose you."

My stomach drops even more.

"I went to your house, and I had to climb up the balcony to get in like I used to. And I found this." Flynn reaches into his jacket pocket.

He pulls out a cream envelope.

Julliard.

I take another step toward him.

"Hope you aren't to mad that I broke and entered." he smiles faintly.

All I can do is watch as he opens up the envelope.

He takes a moment to scan through it, then his face drops even more.

"Dear Miss Rapunzel, it gives me great pleasure-" he places his hand over his mouth to prevent a large sob.

"Rapunzel you got in." he sniffs.

A ray of hope works through my stomach.

I got in.

"Rapunzel you did it, you got into Julliard." he puts the letter down and holds my hand again.

"If you want me to go with you I will. I'll quit the band, move with you to New York. But I was talking to Cinderella and she said, that maybe coming back to your old life would be too hard, that you might need to shut us out. And that would hurt like hell, but I'd do it, for you."

"I'll do whatever you want, just please stay." he starts to shake my hand slightly.

"I can't, you know I can't." I weep.

"You're my home Rapunzel. I don't care where we are, I just care that we're together. I know that now. I will do anything if you stay." his voice is a whisper by the time he gets to the end of the sentence.

He reaches under his chair and pulls out his guitar.

"Still kinda working on this thing but..." he clears his throat and starts to play.

"You wrote me a song?" I stand on the opposite side of the bed, so I can see him face on.

"Baby, baby,

know that i'm here, know that i'm here, waiting,

stay strong, stay tall,

you don't have to fear, you don't have to fear, waiting,

i'll see you soon, i'll see you soon,

how could a heart like yours, ever love a heart like mine,

how could I live before-"
A sharp pain goes through me, as if someone has just stabbed me in the back.

Suddenly, i'm with Flynn, when he taught me how to use his skateboard.

I'm gripping onto his arms, that same pain in my stomach.

"Blondie? Rapunzel, what's wrong?" he asks.

Now i'm with Pascal, mum and dad, we're faffing around in our front garden.

I scream in pain, clutching my stomach.

"What's wrong sweetie?" mum asks, putting a hand on my shoulder.

Flynn is still singing, but I can also hear the cello.

Whoever is playing it sounds terrible, their grinding the bow across the strings, resulting in a screech, not a symphony, but it also sounds like my heart monitor.

Then i'm with Ariel.

She's picked up two leaves, and is mystically moving them up and down in front of her face.

I fall to the ground from the pain.

"Rapunzel, what's wrong?" she asks.

Everything everyone has said today, roams my mind.

"You still have a family, Rapunzel."

"With everybody gone, it might be too hard for you too keep fighting, but I want you to live."

"I will do anything if you stay."
"Here's the secret baby, if you live, if you die, it's all up to you, so whatever fight you've got in you, you've gotta pull it out now."

"That kids waking up an orphan, if she wakes up."

The cello's bow drops to the floor, and everything go's black.

For the first time today, I can actually feel something.

Flynn is still holding my hand, he is resting his forehead on it as well, his tears dripping on me, one by one.

He must have heard my deep breathing, because the next thing I know, his chair screeches against the floor.

"Rapunzel?" he asks.

If you want me to do an epilogue, please ask below and i'll see what I can do.

But, there is a sequel to the 'If I Stay' book, which I have read, and am currently re-reading, it is taken from the boy, Adams, POV, so if you want me to do that, ask below.

It is set three years after this story, just to let you know.
