Okay, so according to my AMAZING new beta, I need to add more deatail. And I'm like okay, I totally agree. SO this chapter is the las chapter in Alex's point of view. Also, I don't know if you realized this, but I can look at the number of people who read my story each day, and one day I had 169! But, only 7 people bothered reviewing. :( -tear- So review and get virtual ice cream! YUMMY!!!!!

And now my story of wonder and joy- not much joy in this chapter actually. :(

Alex's POV

I wasn't sure what I had just done. All I knew was I felt like I was soaring and my hair was flying in the wind. The wonderful sensation stopped short. My leg twisted and cracked, unable to support me weight, I fell to the ground. A terrible burning sensation came through my head.

It was about 5 minutes before I heard yelling. "Somebody call 911! And quick!" a man's voice commanded frantically.

It sounded as if a large crowd had formed, but I was too weak to open my eyes and look. I just lied there on the street, numb with pain. What had I done? I wondered. How could I have been so stupid? Not that Mom and Dad will care. I started crying harder when I heard Justin's voice.

"Alex?" he called.

Max followed suit, "Alllllleeeexxxxx!"

I'm down here! I wanted to cry out, but I couldn't find my voice, and they didn't come. The last thing I remember before blacking out was hearing sirens come to my rescue.

~*~

I woke up in what I assumed was the ER section of the New York City Hospital. Although, I wasn't quite sure. I wanted to open my eyes, but ,once again, couldn't find the strength.

After around 5 minutes of lying there aimlessly, footsteps entered the room. "Alex?" came Max's small voice. "Alex? Are you awake? Mom and Dad, they told me come in here. They told me that this might be it... This might be... goodbye." There was a pause, and I was surprised he didn't notice the tears running down my cheeks. "Alex, you know Dad didn't mean it. And you know that I still love you even if you aren't my real sister. So does Justin. And Mom. And Dad. Come on, Alex! I need you! You can't leave me with Justin! You just can't!" With that, he hugged me, and I heard his tiny footsteps exit the room.

. Next was Justin. "Uhh... Hey, Alex. Wazzup, my homie?" he asked me.

It took all my strength, but I managed to breathe out, "Stop trying to be cool."

"Oh my gosh! Mom, Dad! Get the doctors! She's awake!"

I heard Mom squeal and Dad run to find somebody to check on me. A few moments later, my room was full of people. "Alex? Are you still up?" a man's voice asked.

"Uh- huh," I mumbled, already worn out.

"Can you answer some questions for us? Do you think you have the strength?"

For my response, I rolled over and shoved my face into a hard, flat pillow.

The doctor chuckled. "Well, at least she's conscious, no need to worry about a coma for the time being. I'll get a nurse, and she'll take her to a room in Children's ICU."

~*~

I finally got the strength to open my eyes for short periods of time as I was being taken on a gurney to my new room. The longest I had them open was probably a minute and a half, more or less. That was also the first time. I took that time to look at everyones' faces. Mom was crying. Dad and Justin looked like they had been crying. All of the doctors and nurses wore business- like expressions. Max, on the other hand, looked thrilled that I was merely awake. He saw me looking at him and grinned, or he was grinning because he like the gurney... One of the two.

At last, they opened a hospital door, 3718, and pushed me in. There, 2 doctors in green scrubs carefully placed me in a hospital bed, minding the multiple wires and tubes coming out of me. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. That was when I heard there was only a 20% chance of survival for me.

This part was not in the last chapter.

I woke up around 10 am the next day, Saturday. The room I was in was a children's room, which meant the walls were yellow with farm animals on them. (A/N: I am describing the hospital room AI was in when I was 4 and dehydrated and in May when I had my appendix out) There were white shelves which were filled with stuffed animals, flowers, and cards- some of my friends had stopped by when I was asleep. A medium sized flat-screen was on the wall right in front of my bed. A small window had it's yellow curtains pulled back. The wall that the door was on was glass because I could only have 2 visitors in the room at once, and the others could still see me. My left leg, I just then noticed, was wrapped tightly in a white cast with rainbow splatters that looked like paint. I have to say, it was a pretty awesome cast. I was hooked up to an IV, heart monitor, breathing tube, and a bunch of other junk I don't know the name of and will never bother finding out.

The breathing tube was lame I decided, and I reached up to rip it off. "Oh no you don't, missy," Mom said and grabbed my wrist.

"Oh my God! I didn't see you there! You scared me!" I weakly whisper- yelled.

"Oh, sweetie! I'm so glad you're up! Your dad and brothers are in the cafeteria getting breakfast," she told me, wiping away a tear.

"Mom," I started, "I heard the doctors talking... Am I going to die?" I started crying.

"No, Alex. No, you're going to be fine. Okay? Just keep fighting. I know you can. Just keep fighting," she repeated.

Before I could respond I fell back asleep. Throughout the day, my room almost always had a visitor. Whenever someone thought I was asleep, and most likely when I really was asleep, they would talk to me.

Justin: "Hey, Lex... Look, the doctors said there's only a 20% chance for you last night, and it's getting worse. But they don't know you. I do. You're a stubborn little fighter. Show them that! Prove them wrong!" He then squeezed my hand.

Dean: "Hey, Russo! Come on, wake up! Who am I supposed to play the crane game with? Anyway, I'll try to stop bye later when you're awake. I love... the awesome decorating in this room." He bent down and kissed me.

Max: "Why do you always have to be asleep? I brought guitar hero, but you have to be awake to play it!"

Harper: "Alex, please wake up. The chances are down to 15%. I can't lose my best friend. Who'll tell me if my pantaloons match my bonnet?"

Dad's was the most... touching. He told me this the night I jumped. : "Alex, I'm so sorry, baby girl. I don't know what I was thinking. I never thought this would be where we'd be tonight. It's horrible knowing this is my fault. We were dumb to keep it from you all these years. Sweetie, you don't know how happy your mom and I were when we found you at the agency. You were two years old, Max had just been born. Your mom refused to go through child birth again, but we both wanted a little girl. And there you were. 2 feet tall, in a little pink dress," he was crying now. "You came running over, grabbed on to my leg and yelled, 'Daddy!'. We knew right then you were our little princess. Everyday you make us so happy and proud. Everyday you will continue to. You answered our prayers, Lexi." He kissed my forehead and walked out of my room.

At 7 pm, I opened up a monstrous envelope Max and Justin had delivered. Inside was a huge card made out of lime green poster board. It was covered in pictures of myself with Harper, the boys, Mom, and Dad. My eyes fell on a picture of Dad holding me, 4 years old, upside down by the ankles- tickling me. I was wearing a red and black polka dot dress and red toddler converse. We were both laughing and grinning. There was another one of me on Justin's back, probably 7. I was wearing the dress from my first communion and a little circle of flowers on my head. The two of looked like the happiest kids on Earth. In the upper corner, there was a snapshot of me holding Max when he was probably 1 year old.

I started sobbing, causing my heart monitor to go crazy. A nurse came rushing in. "What's wrong? What hurts? Are you okay?"

I just nodded. "Can you send in my brothers, please?" I asked her, wiping the tears away.

"Actually, they just left, but I can try to catch them before they get in a cab," she replied, seeing my devastated expression.

2 minutes later, Max and Justin were in my room.

Okay, peepsoles! This was 3 pages, the next chapter is halfway done. Be patient. :) I'm going to go watch Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana! WHOOPIE!!! Review! Remember, I can see all!
