AN: I know...the endings of both POV's in the last chapter was horrible, and I deserve to be punished for it...but, I promise, this story will have a happy ending! Work just has me busy so I don't really have a chance to update like I used to! Thank you for all of the support with this story...and here's the new chapter!

Chapter 19

Addison's POV:

No...you're not going to die on me, Charlotte...not today!

They're all staring at me...Pete, the new surgeon, Dr. Peterson, and everyone else...and I hear someone charge in behind me...and I don't know that it's Amelia until I hear her quiet whisper behind me...

"Oh God, no..." She mutters, placing a hand on my shoulder. But I am NOT giving up on her yet!

"Keep going..." I demand forcefully, staring at them as I come closer...the sharp sound of the heart monitor piercing my body and soul.

"But we tried everything-" The new boy James begins to say.

"How long did you try to revive her?" Dear God, I can't even look down at her body...there's blood everywhere, and she's pale...she really is dead.

"For five minutes but she wasn't responding-" He seems confident but he seems nervous. Everyone must know about me and Charlotte by now...and I'm not going to hide it anymore...and if anyone in this room says I'm emotionally attached, I will end them with the wrath of Satan!

"Try harder...and longer!" I tell him...I tell all of them. "Please!" My voice breaks at that...and the longer I hear the flat line, the more I want to cry! "If she was the love of your life, you'd want them to try longer too!"

Amelia gives my shoulder a squeeze and I suck in some air so I won't burst out crying.

Pete and James exchange a look...before sighing. "Let's keep trying..." Pete says before grabbing the paddles. "Charge to two hundred..." I hear the defibrillator starting up and I reach back to grab Amelia's free hand...because if this doesn't work after a few times, we've lost Charlotte for good. "Clear!" The electric current surges through Charlotte's body, but it does nothing.

"Keep trying!" I yell out in a desperate plea, and I know they will...and whatever happens, I know they've done everything they can. "Come on, Charlotte...come back to us..."

Charlotte's POV:

I still can't process what this young boy told me, so I stand up, so I'm towering over him. "What the hell do you mean I'm dead?! I'm right here!"

With that, Dell stands up...so I'm not so tall anymore...and I look like a little doll compared to his height of 5'6 or 5'7.

"Charlotte...you know I'm dead...you know I didn't fake my death, so, you are too, and that's why you're here." He tries to explain to me. "I don't know if you believe in Heaven...or if you believe that you go to the other side after you die...but you're here, and you're not dreaming."

He's even a little bastard and pinches me. "Ow, hey!" I growl, rubbing the spot furiously.

"How the hell do I get undead?" I demand angrily, looking into his eyes.

"You mean a zombie?" Dell smirks shamelessly.

"No!" I swear... "How do I become alive again? I don't want to be dead!"

"Fortunately...or unfortunately, it's up to the surgeons down there to bring you back...and I think they've given up on you." Dell explains.

"W-what? Wait! Why?" Dell doesn't say anything...it's as if he's trying to listen for something. "Dell!"

"It's Addison...she's down there...she's telling them to keep trying..." He tells me, as if he's getting all of this live from someplace.

"I don't believe you, kid! How am I supposed to believe you?" I snap at him...only to hear Addison in the distance...and the sound of a flat line...so, it makes me put my hand to my chest...as if I can physically feel the pain my body is going through down there! I even hear them yell "Clear!" and I feel a surge of electricity fly through me and it nearly sends me flying to the moon!

"Try harder...and longer! Please! ...If she was the love of your life, you'd want them to try longer too!" Addison says this...and it brings tears to my eyes. She's fighting for me...she's fighting for me even though I'm dead.

"Dell...what am I supposed to do?" I look at him nervously.

He looks back at me. "...Wait...and enjoy the view while you're here...it's nice..."

I growl, closing my eyes and clenching my fists. "Dell, I swear I will kill you." I open my eyes, to see the blonde gone, and nowhere around. "...Dell? I didn't mean it..."

I sigh, not knowing what I did to cause that, but I do as he says, and begin to explore around the vast acres of the family farm...because it's not like I can really do much else...

Amidst all of this madness and my, well, sort of life still hanging in the balance, I feel content to be in a familiar place...and it may very well be Heaven.

...I just wish the circumstances were better...and I wish Addison was here.

I sigh softly, before noticing a big tree in the distance with a huge canopy of leaves above...the childhood tree I would always relax under...even into my teenage years!

"I'll be damned...it's still here..." I whisper with a soft smile, before starting a path towards it eagerly.

AN: So...I think I'll start updating a lot now, which shorter chapters like these, until we get out of the whole dark and messy situation! I'm still going to see about incorporating different POV's (Violet, Amelia, etc.) but if I update more and with lesser chapter amounts, don't sorry. It'll get bigger eventually. xD
