I was running.
868Please respect copyright.PENANATIyLjiSwtS
I didn't know what I was running from,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAWCrs7FiWHW
But I knew that I had to get away.
868Please respect copyright.PENANASGRNUJv6fQ
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3aOKZgUN5
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAmDZuqbtPjo
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAsFX1WXGiYz
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAaaWfACzvIp
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAofK60uUpmG
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAGb1H6T4A5Z
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAxA8KeWerpA
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
868Please respect copyright.PENANATqmEGWJ1Ik
"Mom?"
868Please respect copyright.PENANAqYGVwqkuC9
She didn't reply.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAwu3cCbZGKz
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ikqvYjTF
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAy9aL3Fpj1o
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAyedPOaE6PR
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
868Please respect copyright.PENANAhiuweeBdmN
My head started to spin when she said that.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAET3BSKzoHh
Alice had said something similar,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAfWL3mC8nIV
"please wake up Leo..."
868Please respect copyright.PENANA8YpHafK1Oo
Did something happen to me?
868Please respect copyright.PENANAYE73g0k385
I felt fine;
868Please respect copyright.PENANALr3N6hzTcg
Great in fact.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAgAV6QX7HPZ
And that's when it dawned on me.
868Please respect copyright.PENANA6H4eC6wuAq
I didn't feel any pain.
868Please respect copyright.PENANANdd9olPK75
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAeiVGXogAsm
But how could that be?
868Please respect copyright.PENANAib7HCRPKjL
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAzlCtsHpdXu
So what was going on now?
868Please respect copyright.PENANAIvZU9rKfWU
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
868Please respect copyright.PENANAwxTwr6GV7v
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5EOx4hJm
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
868Please respect copyright.PENANA6SaSBBNLca
Death.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAsJcurbznbg
Could I possibly be... dead?
868Please respect copyright.PENANAnDjemSJpxd
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAncfWpFJuPC
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
868Please respect copyright.PENANADmdS15orL6
I was still in pain in my chest.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAstXMF4qxzT
The thought of never seeing my family,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAg9EjKvlHF5
Despite how they treated me,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAOZQOHXNxKx
Caused my heart to constrict.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAB8rYuzo6Oj
But that pain was nothing,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAqrof0LZ84I
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAifJmYex2Iy
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAWGB08xSAHk
And to make my day brighter.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAloXnf8FKDj
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAVTLME0xv7n
Wishing for the first time in my life,
868Please respect copyright.PENANAmwvb9qs8Cr
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
868Please respect copyright.PENANAYydsum6mH4
Because with that pain,
868Please respect copyright.PENANASNp4AaP8Bc
Came the chance to live again.
