Author's note: YESSSSSS! A new chapter! :) This one would probably be longer, and yes I found another mistake in chapter 2, which is not good _ I do like the Hazel and Sawyer cuteness in this chapter :P But I'm not sure about the whole thing…and please bear with my terrible writing skills!

Enjoy! :)

Chapter three: The talk of Winter

Hazel's POV:

A talk between us? Is it about me liking Sawyer…? No, that's silly. I think. She followed her dad into his office, along with Sawyer. Sawyer had a towel around him, and he was dripping wet. Her father sat down in his usual old chair. Hazel's heart skipped a beat. What does her father want to talk about? They already knew that Winter's sick… "You both do know that Winter is very sick but…" Clay trailed off. "What is it?" Hazel asked, possibly a little demanding. "Dolphins this sick as Winter…don't make it." Clay said and sighed. Hazel's jaw dropped and so did Sawyer's. No! I didn't want this! "But, isn't it possible to make Winter better?" Sawyer asked and his voice was cracking. "We are keeping a twenty-four hour watch, were increasing checkups and giving her medicines. That's all we could do, Hazel." Hazel fights her tears back. "Well, Dad I'll be on the ten to twelve watch, then." Hazel said sternly, she was rushing to leave. I can't cry here. "Sure." Clay said with a sigh. Hazel opened the door, and left. "Is it still okay to see Winter, Clay?" Sawyer asked.

"Yeah."

…

Hazel sat on the floor next to Hope's pool, and half crying. Just as Sawyer came out to see Winter, Hazel removes her leather sandals and places them aside. She dips her toes slightly in the water. Hope pops out of the water, and bumps Hazel's toes with her rostrum. Hope always cheers me up. Hazel wipes a tear away with the back of her hand, and smiles at Hope. Hope whistles.

"Now, science doesn't know whether dolphins feel emotion the way we do- fear, joy, sadness.

But their brains are complex as ours."

Sawyer's POV:

Sawyer sat down next to Winter's pool. Sawyer observed Winter, and Winter was resting on her favorite blue mat. Her eyes looked quite tired, and so were Sawyer's. Sawyer removed his soaking wet towel from his body, and places it on the floor next to him. "Hey Winter." Winter shifted her head from her mat to look at Sawyer. She eyed him. She knows I'm here. "You okay?" Sawyer asked her calmly. Winter tweeted him back softly. "Winter, I have to go, okay? I'll see you later." Winter tweeted in response again. Sawyer smiles and turns toward Hazel's way. "Bye Hazel! I have to go home, tell Hope bye! "Sawyer yelled to Hazel. This caught Hazel's attention. "Okay! Bye Sawyer!" Hazel shouted back. Sawyer smiled at Hazel and slightly blushed, and left CMA.

…

Sawyer went home, opened the front door, and peeked in and turned on the lights to make his presence home. The lights gave off a soft white orange glow in the house. His mom told him she had the late shift today. Always the late shift on Saturday.

Sawyer climbed into bed, but he wasn't sleeping. He couldn't sleep, all he could think about is Winter. Winter. Winter, and Winter. It was 11:30, and Sawyer still wasn't asleep. He wished he knew what and why Winter was sick. Out of the blue, she became sick. Just like Clay said, Winter is most likely not to make it. Especially this sick. Maybe there is a cure, just maybe.

A light appeared in Sawyer's bedroom, it seeming a soft blue white glow. What's that? He realizes it was his phone, and someone had texted him, and it was 11:43pm! It was Hazel, along with her late night shift to watch Winter. The text read:

Hazel: I have bad news.

Sawyer replied,

Sawyer: What is it? Something happened with Winter?

Hazel replied a little later,

Hazel: Winter…, has a disease.

Sawyer's face dropped. He wanted to drop his phone, but he did not.

Sawyer: Sorry Hazel, but, is it okay to come?

Hazel: …

Hazel: Sure.

Sawyer: See you.

…

Sawyer biked as fast as he could, when it was 11:50pm. Once he passed the sign that read Clearwater Marine Aquarium this way, he set his bike aside, and letting it fall. Rushed as he is, he burst through the employee entrance in the back. Hazel never locks it. He ran through the Great hall, and ran up the upper deck. The upper deck creaked a little. He ran to Winter's area, and the pools were shimmering against the moon lights. He looked for Hazel, probably by Hope's pool, until he heard crying. It was Hazel, sitting in a corner, and her face in her hands, and her blond hair seemed quite messy. "Hazel! Are you okay?" Sawyer asked worryingly. Hazel removed her face from her face, and looked up at Sawyer. "No! Winter is sick! Her sickness is unknown, and we are all confused." Hazel said, and her blond curls fell on her face. Sawyer sat next to her. "Hazel, it's unknown?" Sawyer asked. No, that can't be, right? "I'm so sorry Sawyer, it is." Hazel says sadness in her voice. "Is there even medicine that could help?" Sawyer asked, looking for more options. Hazel turned her head to Sawyer, "I have feed Winter something like medicine before." Sawyer smiled, and then Hazel blushed bright red.

That's perfect.
