beep.....beep.....beep....beep.. Evan woke up to....a beeping sound? He didn't know what was going on. A fire alarm? And then he remembered, last night. He pressed a button on his watch, the beeping stopped, and he ran out from behind the garbage can. It almost fell over. He tip-toed as quit as he could outside of the bathroom, turning a corner until he got to the Girls bathroom. Where was Grace?
Girls Bathroom
Grace opened her eyes; she was very tired. She looked at the clock. She gasped. The clock said, 3:10. She got off the toilet and opened the lock on the stall door. She was just getting out of the stall when she ran right into Evan. They both fell backwards onto the floor.
"Ow!" exclaimed Grace in a whisper. Evan got up faster than she did and helped her up.
"What are you doing in here?" Grace asked, whispering.
"I had to come get you; you weren't outside in the hall at 3, like a told you too." He whispered. Grace rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I fell asleep."
"Obviously," he said, "we have to go, come on." He said. He grabbed Grace's hand and led her out into the hall.
In the Hall
Evan and Grace tip-toed around the hall, searching for room #5. Room 3, room 4, there it is! Room 5! They looked through the window on the door and saw 4 beds, 3 were with Courtni, Jose, and Hannah, and the other bed had what looked like a man lying in it, badly burned. Grace went over to Courtni and rubbed her back. (She was lying on her stomach.) She stirred and was about to talk when Grace put her finger to her lips.
"Come on Courtni, we're going now." Grace said. She was about to ask why when Grace said, "Don't ask questions honey, we'll tell you what's going on once we get outside. Do not make a sound and come out with us quickly." Evan went to wake up Jose. He looked a lot better than a bloody heap, like he was before. Grace then went to Hannah.
10 Minutes Later
Grace, Evan, Jose, Hannah, and Courtni were out! They were running as fast as they could, out of the hospital. All of a sudden, Grace stopped running.
She gasped. "Oh no!" she exclaimed. Evan ran to her and put his hands on her face. "What is it Grace?" he asked.
"It's Courtni!" she said.
"I'm right here." Courtni said, sweetly.
"I know," Grace said slowly, "you can't, come...with us, Court." She looked down and nodded.
"I know." She said sadly.
"And we won't be able to write you letters or send you postcards because they'll be looking for us." Evan said. Courtni started crying. Jose looked at his feet. Evan and Grace looked at each other. Grace went over to Courtni and kneeled on one knee and looked into her beautiful hazel eyes. I tear fell down Grace's face.
"Courtni. We will come back to see you, we promise. You just have to promise us one thing." Grace said.
"What?" asked Courtni.
"Promise, that whatever you do, don't tell anyone, about all of this, ok? You can tell them about the accident, but do not tell them about us sneaking out of the hospital ok?" Grace asked. Court nodded. "Ok, I promise!" she said through tears. And she hugged Grace so tight. Grace started crying again.
"I love you so much Courtni! I will always love you. I will always remember you." Grace said.
"I will too! Forever!" cried Court. Hannah pulled away from the hug so Jose could give her a hug. After they hugged, Grace heard Jose whisper something to Courtni, "Courtni...I love you." He said.
Court looked at him. "I love you too, Jose." She said.
Evan and Grace looked at each other. They both knew the 'I love you' that Jose and Court shared with each other was different than the 'I love you' that Court and Grace shared. This 'I love you' was real. A genuine 'I love you.' Not a sibling 'I love you.' Evan walked over to Grace.
"Grace?" he asked. She looked at him. "You were so good with her. You made her understand that things are gonna be ok." He said. "And I love you for that." He said. This 'I love you' was exactly like the 'I love you' that Court and Jose shared. He leaned down to her, (he is about 5 inches taller than her) and he kissed her. It was the kiss that he was going to give her earlier at the hospital.
Everyone else stopped crying and hugging to look them. Evan and Grace didn't care. When they were done, Hannah giggled. But Jose and Court didn't. Instead, they were staring at each other. Are they going to kiss?
