I was running.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAjQDkK8GKzO
I didn't know what I was running from,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAuDYL4npwCc
But I knew that I had to get away.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAJINgDStyzN
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
754Please respect copyright.PENANA1W1osuewFf
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAT03T2b1FBY
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAhXJgbdM80C
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAgfC7br7Jxy
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAUIS43491V1
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAqaGFAUD4lK
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAYRliVEl5Ke
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAEjrY5I1d0z
"Mom?"
754Please respect copyright.PENANAM0iVduBeQu
She didn't reply.
754Please respect copyright.PENANA5bpBxSASyc
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAfMYuIcPJUM
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Vqw9Lvwa
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
754Please respect copyright.PENANA37EIRzUqnN
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
754Please respect copyright.PENANAOLn3xZGhQm
My head started to spin when she said that.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAqpiYinLiPq
Alice had said something similar,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAc1WcB3eCKr
"please wake up Leo..."
754Please respect copyright.PENANATEBK0fsP5M
Did something happen to me?
754Please respect copyright.PENANAmOFnI8ftv5
I felt fine;
754Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mcke9f0Js
Great in fact.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2Q2Hu8DUk
And that's when it dawned on me.
754Please respect copyright.PENANADJnFARCGHG
I didn't feel any pain.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAB2a4JxIzjK
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAvwNTFmfEzE
But how could that be?
754Please respect copyright.PENANAAA8ZVCx23U
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAZUQCMzXS4E
So what was going on now?
754Please respect copyright.PENANAlURWpS2NC5
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
754Please respect copyright.PENANAOuv5MAASFB
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAjfFMCRwGty
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
754Please respect copyright.PENANA95krw9KOnc
Death.
754Please respect copyright.PENANARiiQ7LctKO
Could I possibly be... dead?
754Please respect copyright.PENANAIQFv2eKM2e
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAFjZaNMxuP1
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAiXUFZzAT7N
I was still in pain in my chest.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6gjVxk7EK
The thought of never seeing my family,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAPEWvrY0okC
Despite how they treated me,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAWch9YWwjIe
Caused my heart to constrict.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAOg3zF7KNZw
But that pain was nothing,
754Please respect copyright.PENANApR0iCBmFeo
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAd1KWD7MNHx
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAh16oV0kdp9
And to make my day brighter.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAdjMhy24Qvj
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAqCv2XuG3zj
Wishing for the first time in my life,
754Please respect copyright.PENANAVk4kZ12RV0
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
754Please respect copyright.PENANAQYPHQW44Vr
Because with that pain,
754Please respect copyright.PENANANdwZIg3vLX
Came the chance to live again.
