We went back to school the day Tori got admitted to intensive care. She told me something that day that really scared me. She said, "Dying will be a really big adventure won't it Brooke?" she smiled that special smile of hers, and since she still can't see, she didn't have to see the tears I had rolling down my face. "Tori, you're not going anywhere. You've had too short a life." I told her after I'd contained myself. We hugged and I left for school. Halfway through the day, Summer, Jacob, and I got called down to the office. We met in the hallway and right away we knew. We left our bookbags where we were, and ran out the back doors of the school, towards the hospital. When we reached the double doors, we ran, hearts ounding, towards the elavator. The ride seemed to take years. When we reached the fifth floor we ran to Tori's room. My Mother took me in her arms and led the three of us into the room. The room contained only Tori's parents, her brother Adam, her sister Allyssa, my family, her nurse Jessica, and the doctor. Tori was pantinghard on the bed. My heart stopped. "She's brain dead. They're going to unplug her life support." my father told me. "She was supposed to be my princess." Jacob said breaking down. Her Father reached for the chord and Sara flinched. "Sh's not there anynore. What made Tori who she was is already gone." my Mother went over to her best friend and put her arms around her as Kevin pulled the plug. Tori went limp. 'She was your princess Jake." I told my brother. "No," he replied. "She was everyone's princess."
