Author's note: I looked over all the WONDERFUL!!! Reviews I've received thus far and I just had to tell you guys again how much I love ya'll!!! When I posted my first chapter, I never ever could have guess that I would get so far. It's thanks to YOU guys that I have a whole new world in my life now. When I think back to say... even a year ago, I couldn't even begin to imagine becoming a writer. Now, with every chapter I write and every review I read, I love writing more and more each time. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Ok, enough distractions. P.S: I had tears in my eyes when I wrote this chapter. You'll understand later.
Tuesday, December 28th, hospital
When I woke up yesterday morning, life was bleak, but still manageable. Even though I didn't want to get up from my bed, at least I knew then that I would be able to live the day. This morning, I felt as though a part of myself was missing. I didn't know why I even bothered waking up, there was no more point to living. Lily was my surprise visitor yesterday:
* Flash back*
Lil: Mia!!!
She threw her arms around me and almost knocked me to the floor. I didn't know she missed me THIS much!
Me: Lil!! Oh my god!!! I missed you so much!!! But hey, why are you crying silly? I'm here! Be happy!
Lil: You don't understand. I...
She let go of me and I saw the tears on her cheeks. Lily looked like she was on the verge of a major breakdown.
Me: What's wrong Lil? Why are you bawling?
She looked over at Grand-Mere not so discretely listening in on our conversation.
Me: Oh, come to my room.
As we passed Ethan's room, he came out with cloths in his hand. He was probably going to take a shower or something. But before he closed the door, I looked in and it seemed like there was someone sleeping on his bed. He slammed the door and thundered down the hall while throwing a sneer my way.
Me: Don't mind him. He was born a jerk.
I expected this to at least amuse Lily but she didn't even bother to crack a smile. We went inside and she sprawled on the carpet as if she didn't have enough energy to support herself anymore.
Me: So Lily, what's wrong?
She took a deep breath and plunged a knife through me.
Lily: Michael got hit by a car and he's in a coma right now.
Before she even ended her phrase, my heart shut down. This wasn't happening. Oh god, this is all a dream. Please, it can't be real.
Me: Whh...what?
My voice broke and I started to feel the dampness escaping from the corners of my eyes.
Lil: It happened on Christmas night. He was acting so weird that day. Not that he was ever hyper, but he used to be always so happy on Christmas. This year, he was really withdrawn from the rest of us. I saw him going out the door with his guitar and asked him where he was he going. He didn't say anything and just closed the door in my face. Then a heard a weird sound coming from the street and I looked outside to see what it was. I saw Michael, he was just lying in the middle of the street. There was so much blood. I...I...
Lily couldn't continue. She had started to cry again. I swept her in my arms and cried with her. I couldn't stand it any longer though.
Me: How is he now?
Lil: He's in a coma, but last night, I was sleeping by his side and I swear I heard him say your name. He kept repeating it over and over again. He stopped after a while but that's why I came here to look for you today. Please, he needs you right now Mia.
Me: I just have to say a word to Grand-Mere. Then Lars will drive us over there.
* End of flash back *
I can barely remember what happened after. Grand-Mere must have heard everything because she pulled me into a motherly hug and told me that everyone would be praying for Michael and that everything will be ok. She read my mind and knew that I didn't want her at the hospital so she just let Lars accompany me. When we got there, Mrs. Moscovitz also drew me into her arms but I didn't have the strength to hold on to her. The tears had left me drained. I went to see Michael and held his hand. I whispered that I was here into his ear and told him that I loved him. Please, just for him to be ok, I would do anything.
