I was running.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAmwuFsaWVN4
I didn't know what I was running from,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAMWhVgXWuFq
But I knew that I had to get away.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2S1QZ6Ldu
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAFSMnUdYon7
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
788Please respect copyright.PENANA2FMzD0MHH2
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
788Please respect copyright.PENANALDtJfx7hh8
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
788Please respect copyright.PENANACyqwyI42l4
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAo86ZP6Yn6U
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAXdcToMBQZq
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAPgG0vT6RQk
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAWmIBGxZHGo
"Mom?"
788Please respect copyright.PENANA3NMmCjpDvc
She didn't reply.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAE3FYwxQ3UX
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAD7J59CiDSW
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAwdUcWhXAvp
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAprHduO35Eg
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
788Please respect copyright.PENANArW5oRlkX1J
My head started to spin when she said that.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAGGAKo9Bsv0
Alice had said something similar,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAc5z14MLefh
"please wake up Leo..."
788Please respect copyright.PENANAZwsaQkGUe2
Did something happen to me?
788Please respect copyright.PENANAyXNfyW2lNg
I felt fine;
788Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ojDV9gnw
Great in fact.
788Please respect copyright.PENANApQ3h1iRrOS
And that's when it dawned on me.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAWEcRYJE1QR
I didn't feel any pain.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAclFeEJfut9
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAojdYsOZLYB
But how could that be?
788Please respect copyright.PENANAq9lXE2Xl8M
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
788Please respect copyright.PENANA6YloV0HNYh
So what was going on now?
788Please respect copyright.PENANA7HuU6xBWkS
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
788Please respect copyright.PENANAQlMqEt2Lzn
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAVKygaNQ5hk
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
788Please respect copyright.PENANANuqrUx3OfV
Death.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAq7d6MdwLhN
Could I possibly be... dead?
788Please respect copyright.PENANAG64iKFO5vh
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAFmcaNl6UMH
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAlBT0PZWpii
I was still in pain in my chest.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAo2WIT4GtKV
The thought of never seeing my family,
788Please respect copyright.PENANANylMOe6oWZ
Despite how they treated me,
788Please respect copyright.PENANALRKhPD0lGv
Caused my heart to constrict.
788Please respect copyright.PENANA98ThQLoDvM
But that pain was nothing,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAovJOW74sNq
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAVNAsGhxmGb
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAZgtFYyeCVd
And to make my day brighter.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9NPsGOd7o
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
788Please respect copyright.PENANA1DSyopkMIv
Wishing for the first time in my life,
788Please respect copyright.PENANA7OfZomzB5w
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
788Please respect copyright.PENANAON49BlcV1q
Because with that pain,
788Please respect copyright.PENANAZdu2CHxxQC
Came the chance to live again.
