Max felt sunshine on her face when she woke up. She opened her eyes. She felt she was lying on something hard, yet stroked her face. Max lifted her head slightly. The grass was bright and fresh. "Finally decided to wake up, huh?" Emily's mother teased.

"Aunt?" Max whisper.

"Yes, who else." The blonde woman with the same eyes as Emily had them bent over her. "We'll eat apple pie, you eat with us?" Max nodded. She came in a sweep up.

Everything around her looked nice and vibrant. She followed her aunt. This was defentily Emily's dream. Max could smell the fresh apple pie. She came into the kitchen. Immediately she noticed that she missed a blonde jumping someone.

"Where's Emily?" asked Max. The feeling that something was terribly wrong crawled in her skin.

"Upstairs at Serena."

'Where else' murmerde Max.

"I'll bring those two a spiece."

"No, let them. It is their last day together

"Last day?" Max sprint up the stairs. SHe flew into the room. The room was not like this, when she had last seen him.

Emily sat on Serena's bed. Serena was lying there peacefully. Max was afraid she was already dead, but no. Her chest was going quiet and weak up and down.

Emily sat with backs turned to Max. "Emily?" Emily visibly lowered her head, turned with a startled jump to her. Max attention was immediately drawn to something small and black in her hands. "What's that?" A superfluous question, because Max knew the answer herself already

"Put that down Emily, you don't want to hurt anyone." Max came forward cautiously. Emily shook her head frantically. With a trembling hand she held the gun up.

"Get back!" she commanded, her voice trembling.

"Emily, do not do stupid things, put it down."

"Get back!" she repeated firmly. Max swallowed and stayed where she stood.

"Tell me what's your plan," she offered.

Emily bit her lip. "What do you think!" she spat. She moved the gun to her head.

"Emily, Please" Max held her hands up. "Why, tell me why." Emily had a stifled sob.

" You wanted to know why, do you really wanted to know?" Emily had tears of awe in her eyes. "Maybe because my sister is taken away from me. The only one who loved me and that I appreciate, is taken from me! " Her voice terremble intense, but also this time it was full of anger. "I'll be alone, all alone. You do not know what it is, Max! "

"The same fear as Mike?" Max after thought. "Are you scared of being left behind?" she asked.

"No!" Emily replied crack. "I'm not afraid, I will not be afraid!" she sniffed.

"I do not mean ..."

"Get back!" Emily barked. Max had taken a small step forward during the talk. Max swallowed again.

"That's not what I meant," she repeated again. "Your fea,r is that to be alone?" Emily was silent for a while.

"No." She shook her head. "I don't want to lose the only one who loves me." Max finally began to understand.

"Serena is not the only one who loves you, Emily. Not the alone one. "

"Well true!" cried Emily. Refusing to believe what Max said.

"Not true." Max's voice was now soft and tedervol. "Emily, you've got friends who love you. You have family ... "

"Well true!" Now there were tears on her face.

"Not true, Emily." This time there wasn't a crie when she took a step forward. "You got me, Mike, Kevin, Antonio and Jayden."

Emily shook her head stubbornly. She got a lot of headaches. "We are your family, we love you."

"But Serena .." Emily's wrist was grabbed. Emily's head shot sideways. "Serena?"

"Ssht, little sister, I'm here forever." Serena moved her hand to where Emily's heart sat

"Always?"

"Always my dear." She left her last breath, saying: "I will always love you, Emily. Don't forget."

"No!" cried Emily. Max reached forward. She pulled the weapon from her hands, threw it away and pulled Emily into a hug.

"Emily," she said soothingly. She pulled a little bit, just to look at Emily. She put her hand on Emily's heart just like Serena.

"I love you, little cous."

Emily nodded. "I know."
