I'm so sorry! I've found it difficult to write this chapter!
I wanted to make it like chapter 11, but I don't think I completed my challenge successively!
Anyway! I've altered a little Owl city lyric in this chapter! I wanna see if you can find it! (also, I'm going to see him in two weeks & two days!:D)
Also, for the last few chapters, I'm aware the grammar is suckish! Becky is on holiday, meaning no BETA reader!
but still ... enjoy!:D

The world spun into focus, as a bright LED light shined right above my head, making my eyes squint into reality, surrounded by unfamiliar territory. My eyes closed again, as my head throbbed back into existence, just as I saw two blurry people hover over me. I tried to move my hand over my eyes, to shield myself from the bright lights of reality, yet something was stopping me. I moved my eyes down slightly, whilst still squinting, to find someone on my right arm, holding onto me as if I was about to fall off the face of the earth.

My eyes rolled around my head, trying to figure out where I was, the lights around me, slowly got dimmer and dimmer, as more of the people who mean the most to me swarm over me, like bees to honey. My lips begin to curl as my head begins to throb, as the reality of what has just happened falls on to me like brick. What if they know? What if they judge me? What if I'm left alone?

Just as quickly as the pain of them knowing is here, it disappears as soon as my Mom's face blurs to life, and I know I'm going to be safe.

As the net caught me as I fell from the clouds, I could hear the rain, beating down from them also, onto the small window, leaving tiny droplets running down the window pane like the ones which was running down my arm in my state of paralysis. Even though it was raining, I could still see the sun, shining through the beige curtains, and I think this reflects my mood. I don't know how to feel, like the sky doesn't know what to do. I'm unsure If I should be happy, like the sun, or I should be sad, like the rain. 'Just react like everyone else is.' I thought, whilst staring my Mom blankly in the eyes.

'Kendall!' the joy leaped out of her and onto me, like an excited puppy around new people. I smiled weakly, as my Mom smiled back with tears in her eyes. I looked down at my trapped hand, and noticing another hand lay on top of it. I followed the arm to find the person who it belongs to. Their arm connected to their shoulder, which was kind of connected to their neck, until I saw their face. It was my little sister. My weak smile grew slight. 'Katie' I uttered, as tears fell down her cheeks, staining them slightly. 'Don't cry! Everything's fine!' I assured the worried tween, placing my opposite hand on top of hers.

I glanced around the room, staring at the familiar faces who I love so much, I noticed one who I didn't expect to find. Someone who I thought wouldn't be here for me. Someone who I love just as much as I do everyone else surrounding me. Next to my sister. It was him. It was my little cousin, Shane. His face lit up as I glanced at him, and he whispered the words 'I thought you was sick like Mommy.' My face dropped as the little boy smiled back at me, not realizing the affect of his little, innocent words.

My Mom looked at Shane, the words seemed to have an affect on her, yet she shook them off and focusing back on me, wanting to un-hear the words she'd just heard about her sister. She smiled again, as she stroked my hair, her eyes still crimson red from crying.

Everyone was smiling. I may have been in pain, the pain I was currently in was nothing on the years of suffering leading up to this uncertain day. Even though I may have hit the cold, hard stair case with enough force to hospitalize me, but I've never felt so content. I had everyone around me, and I knew they would support me, but the thing is, do they know my secret, or would I confess everything in front of them, and see their reaction dramatically change in front of me.

As my eyes gazed around the faces huddled over my bed, as the door slowly opened, and revealed a blonde haired girl stood in the door way. Her brown eyes filled with joy as they locked into mine. It was Jo. As she walked nearer to my bed, her footsteps matched the mysterious ones I had heard earlier. Her smile grew. 'You're awake!' she announced, as she came closer and closer to my bed. The nearer she came to my bed, the more my smile grew stronger.

My Mother's eyes darted back and forth at me & Jo until she directly looked at me, with a questioned look on her face which seemed to say 'are you two a thing?' I shrugged slightly, as she nodded acceptingly.

We all talked for a while. a room full of people laughing, and smiling, reminiscing on things which had happened in the past & telling stories. Even though we was discussing amazing times which I cherish in my life, something didn't feel right. Thinking about those times reminded me unhappy times I suffered during those events, except unlike the stories, I was alone.

The more we discussed the past, the more those feelings grew into the present, and the more my Mom grew suspicious. After a while, she wafted the others out of the room, including my little sister, Katie, and my cousin, Shane. As they left I saw her emotions change dramatically. The air was once full of happiness and laughter, yet now it was full of disappointment and regret.

I suddenly felt claustrophobic. The walls felt as if they was going to cave in, and my heart was about to beat out of my chest. My Mom begin to talk to me. 'Kendall, we need to talk.' She suggested, sitting down on an arm chair to the right of my bed. 'About what?' I replied, gulping. She took a deep breath. I knew the next word which was coming. One word. One small and powerful word. 'Drugs.' she instructed.

I was right.
