A/N: Once again I have to apologize for taking so long to update. I'm a little stuck but that's no reason I'm very very sorry.

Sydney's POV

Once again Matt left the hospital against him will. Leon and Vince threatened to drug him again. I know they had good intentions but that was not the way to go about it. Tess stayed the night and Shane came over. He and Matt locked themselves up in Matt's room and spent the whole night talking.

Aunt Mia's health continued to slowly deteriorate and it was too much for anyone to take. By the next morning almost all of the street racers had shown up at one point or another to share stories of Aunt Mia and see if there was anything they could help with.

Edwin brought over a basket full of goodies that his girlfriend Monica had baked for us and Hector ran the garage so Dad could be at the hospital.

To get his thought out of his mind, Matt rode with Shane to soccer practice and then worked at the garage. I helped at the store and then threw myself into my studies at school. Matt did the same thing.

Vince and Brian continued to hate each other but settled to just not speak to each other so it wouldn't upset Matt, Dad, Mom, or me. Every once in a while you would see Vince throw Brian a dirty look or Brian clenching his fists when Matt would talk to Vince instead of him. Matt and he hadn't spoken since the day of the fight and it didn't look like they were going to start making up anytime soon.

The laughter and fun that had once filled our house was gone. I don't know about anyone else but it seemed as if the sun shine was a little dimmer and the sky was a paler blue. It was like the world was morning. For the time being, Aunt Mia wasn't living off of any machines but if she became dependent on them we would let her go. She had given Dad instructions to let her go if she couldn't live without a machine. She didn't think that was living and didn't want to be a burden to us.

All we could do was pray for a miracle.

A/N: Sorry it's short but I wanted to get something out. Also, I have an idea. From now on (because I have so many stories) I'll either write long chapters over long periods of time or short chapters as much as possible. It's up to you guys. Tell me what you think.
