I was running.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAxoxvskY8V4
I didn't know what I was running from,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAL62aovd5Nz
But I knew that I had to get away.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAw1vbEuo0HK
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAjvnGP77KXW
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
832Please respect copyright.PENANADQvi8ACglw
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ6HuOsw9U
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
832Please respect copyright.PENANADLIkhIdVuE
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
832Please respect copyright.PENANA7QosvMmLww
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
832Please respect copyright.PENANATzRi2vFAs6
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
832Please respect copyright.PENANASZCFLrD1og
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAqOuexRlhlt
"Mom?"
832Please respect copyright.PENANAqEZmXRcIoL
She didn't reply.
832Please respect copyright.PENANA1pfP0eglGn
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAkLuzZoT5JO
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
832Please respect copyright.PENANArvf3HA4hH1
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
832Please respect copyright.PENANArOj5sfBqZt
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
832Please respect copyright.PENANAQZrPnqBZYu
My head started to spin when she said that.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAfNAn3dY9nd
Alice had said something similar,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAuqhcm26yXI
"please wake up Leo..."
832Please respect copyright.PENANAKwAfLxFmHk
Did something happen to me?
832Please respect copyright.PENANApa9TjbhOMO
I felt fine;
832Please respect copyright.PENANAHwHZAFePjG
Great in fact.
832Please respect copyright.PENANASIYe3GwDNP
And that's when it dawned on me.
832Please respect copyright.PENANASgrAKmch42
I didn't feel any pain.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAQDc77328ak
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAuOrf2tSYtM
But how could that be?
832Please respect copyright.PENANAStEUMxGO4I
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAKt4INGcpuG
So what was going on now?
832Please respect copyright.PENANAewXmJ42XZE
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
832Please respect copyright.PENANAuBcAT5NWta
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAK5ABU6cqjD
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
832Please respect copyright.PENANAum8Kc7c995
Death.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAijSdCNo5qM
Could I possibly be... dead?
832Please respect copyright.PENANAPeSepIr7yu
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAM3xzcUmi9q
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
832Please respect copyright.PENANA2mL2QcH9Nk
I was still in pain in my chest.
832Please respect copyright.PENANA7aIw7tM0NF
The thought of never seeing my family,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAVrukFhhz9p
Despite how they treated me,
832Please respect copyright.PENANA2k6MLE6gW3
Caused my heart to constrict.
832Please respect copyright.PENANA36TRMPY43D
But that pain was nothing,
832Please respect copyright.PENANA6cb92eD50O
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAweA3KQiYgz
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAbOB3xR0B5B
And to make my day brighter.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAsCTjmIK1WR
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
832Please respect copyright.PENANARTdRtWjsrz
Wishing for the first time in my life,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4HJIkZTv
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
832Please respect copyright.PENANAcml2jrNJfn
Because with that pain,
832Please respect copyright.PENANAbSn4lvhtox
Came the chance to live again.
