I was running.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAprge8KjtwR
I didn't know what I was running from,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAgOFFAiMvkx
But I knew that I had to get away.
901Please respect copyright.PENANASiOjb0TCLe
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAQiPkwDOeAK
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAeRlpxwoFM3
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
901Please respect copyright.PENANArcfVPKsjYE
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAIVgBXzAuwz
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAnl9gz3sQ9r
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAMMzu8Nofe0
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAx9J4mQOWQL
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
901Please respect copyright.PENANA4x2TMuNqk2
"Mom?"
901Please respect copyright.PENANATlEsDi9QYy
She didn't reply.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAzl9KZIA4RZ
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAugJz7fRkBX
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
901Please respect copyright.PENANA0S82nOYb90
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
901Please respect copyright.PENANARcOCM9YitJ
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
901Please respect copyright.PENANArpXsOmIfqH
My head started to spin when she said that.
901Please respect copyright.PENANA6p0146MAly
Alice had said something similar,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAuJWDczpn5u
"please wake up Leo..."
901Please respect copyright.PENANAUPnz5az9mi
Did something happen to me?
901Please respect copyright.PENANAhkaz9rbNHH
I felt fine;
901Please respect copyright.PENANAGYGoLenVig
Great in fact.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAhACcbmUyAx
And that's when it dawned on me.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAfpH1FakFoB
I didn't feel any pain.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAfafgJ1kIUn
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
901Please respect copyright.PENANArKHvM0lVzG
But how could that be?
901Please respect copyright.PENANA0QJotNaWHF
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
901Please respect copyright.PENANA2ajxFIhOAR
So what was going on now?
901Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z4hx8DS6C
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
901Please respect copyright.PENANA2NMRAOnu27
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAfho34QXfJ3
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
901Please respect copyright.PENANA9ax8Pehxjy
Death.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAX40iyxrliF
Could I possibly be... dead?
901Please respect copyright.PENANA8KCplTLNxH
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAqVIwiOpX2i
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Ug8EU3R2
I was still in pain in my chest.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAZI0IvwS3u9
The thought of never seeing my family,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAFd3dx2AuBP
Despite how they treated me,
901Please respect copyright.PENANARIRXZKf1cT
Caused my heart to constrict.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAZmMKjyx7F2
But that pain was nothing,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBpOB9fw8
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAiSSY16JEwJ
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAeucRqP7aoG
And to make my day brighter.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAvSM5x6LsUS
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
901Please respect copyright.PENANADbKRYsCVUm
Wishing for the first time in my life,
901Please respect copyright.PENANADthzhwyAnS
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
901Please respect copyright.PENANAZhM7gdCkH4
Because with that pain,
901Please respect copyright.PENANAcoE1ZBrZ6W
Came the chance to live again.
