Chapter 12: diagnosis

Me: ok I'm back updating might take longer for a while as school returns today and I have a very busy year but I will do my best, promise

Piper: yes Kendal we understand now on with the story

Lauren's P.O.V

It's been 2 weeks since the ball and I'm still sick. It's not fair, Stork can't figure out what's wrong with me neither can Junko, Radarr or Finn. It's not fair Piper is still trying but if I was her I would give up and let me die my horrible death because I am doomed. Whoa I'm so sick I'm starting to sound like Stork.

"Hey Lauren, I think i have a diagnosis" Piper announced as she entered and sat down on the end of my bed.

"Mmm... what is it" I said weakly sitting up to look at her.

She took a deep breath "you have Reality Withdrawal" ok I'm confused and y face must've been portraying that. "Lauren Reality Withdrawal is where you're stuck for too long in your own mind that your actual body is becoming weak. And if you don't cure it you die in your mind"

"What's the cure?" I asked I would do anything.

"A 1 month break from your mind to reality should do it." she said

"But Piper 1 month is a year in my world I cant leave you all for that long what about Finn?" I said panic-stricken

"Lauren it's either a year without us or death" she said. I contemplated this.

"Fine but let me tell Finn" I said she nodded

"I'll go get him" she said as she left. 5 minutes later Finn came bursting through the door.

"Finn we have a diagnosis and a cure but I need to tell you" I said as he sat next to me.

"Ok let me hear it" he said wrapping his arms around me.

"Finn... Finn I have Reality Withdrawal and the only cure is a month in reality or else I'll die here and there" I said tears streaming down my face.

"So in order to save yourself you'll have to leave me for a year?" he asked, I nodded. "Lauren why are you crying imagine the times we'll have when you get back, we'll all be 18 by then imagine the possibilities, I promise I'll wait for you to return" I kiss him and he smiles back at me.

"I don't know when Piper is going to force me to go back but I think it might be now" I added quietly as if on cue Piper walked in.

"Lauren its time for you to go" she sniffles I begin to cry too. We hug each other and Finn takes my hand and leads me to the hanger. Arrow, Becka, Radarr, Junko and even Stork have come to say goodbye.

I hug everyone one at a time. Finn was last; I kissed him then buried my head into his chest and cried harder. "Bye guys see you soon." I mumble. Turn around and disappear.

Me: bahaha you'd never guess what I did first day back

Piper: hung out with Kodei?

Me: nope well yes but no I drew pictures of you guys in the back of my books

Piper: *rolls her eyes* of course

Me: anyway this story is now complete but a sequel is well under way :)
