I was running.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAqe3UgTPIL9
I didn't know what I was running from,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAvi5T28xyXu
But I knew that I had to get away.
844Please respect copyright.PENANArPjU8KhUNu
The problem was, there was no where to hide.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAQxUSsBUHY5
Whatever it was, it wasn't slowing down.
844Please respect copyright.PENANATGht9nhV8Y
Suddenly, a person appeared the same way that Alice had done earlier.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAlxi7QjpeIz
Hoping that it was her, I slowed down and began walking to her,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAjhYFyjtpk6
Forgetting about what I was running away from.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAgvmxYrG0aM
I tapped on her shoulder when I was close enough.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAPEYhGjaHLC
"Alice?" I asked, wishing with every fibre of my being that it was her.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAdCqOaHYyYg
But my face darkened as soon as I saw my mother's face with tears in her eyes.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAE9WTx8SFkh
"Mom?"
844Please respect copyright.PENANA9uxIPZ3SUJ
She didn't reply.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAWV1xiEEiz7
Instead, she turned around and continued to cry.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAcrAcA0hZ7t
"What is a mother supposed to do when her son is like this?" I heard her say.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAVaBQvPvY5G
Since when did she care? I bitterly thought to myself.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAAIcs3LzJ39
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I did Leo. Just please; come back to us."
844Please respect copyright.PENANArQMUooiQCf
My head started to spin when she said that.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAn1WRstx7CJ
Alice had said something similar,
844Please respect copyright.PENANA6MGKQg35sY
"please wake up Leo..."
844Please respect copyright.PENANACghgFK2Koj
Did something happen to me?
844Please respect copyright.PENANA2430MC3igq
I felt fine;
844Please respect copyright.PENANA2535Ze5oIW
Great in fact.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAwv0Q2pCVq0
And that's when it dawned on me.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAfbEJjS3hKu
I didn't feel any pain.
844Please respect copyright.PENANA7qeEEIJk54
For the first time in a very long time, I couldn't feel any pain.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAGMbDMnPa6Y
But how could that be?
844Please respect copyright.PENANApHmQ2dZ92t
The doctors had all said that it would be nearly impossible for me to recover.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAqkYnVe95Au
So what was going on now?
844Please respect copyright.PENANAZueusd6MWh
Why was I suddenly feeling as if I had fully recovered?
844Please respect copyright.PENANAb3emDtI8yn
I felt my knees grow weak, causing me to sit down on the green grass.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAPVMsOR46K7
There was only one reason I could think of for this feeling:
844Please respect copyright.PENANAV1W1XG7tcd
Death.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAr07XHak0G2
Could I possibly be... dead?
844Please respect copyright.PENANAuhgiXaBG8f
Tears streamed from my eyes as that possibility began to make more sense.
844Please respect copyright.PENANA0AsjWtXNYF
But even though I didn't feel the pain that my sickness brought,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAs4glETLVZO
I was still in pain in my chest.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAly0EoHU7Qr
The thought of never seeing my family,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAppUuYPO9hK
Despite how they treated me,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAuHx132zEfo
Caused my heart to constrict.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAJ45uoqLz9p
But that pain was nothing,
844Please respect copyright.PENANA4A2NHb7so5
Compared to the pain from the thought of never seeing Alice again.
844Please respect copyright.PENANArCMFVRhyLl
The girl who put so much effort to make me smile,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAvEP9OoWYQ2
And to make my day brighter.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAbHYsWU3hpI
I lay myself on the ground into a fetal position as I cried,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAfgn3OAnzXl
Wishing for the first time in my life,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZU4yeclo
That I could feel the pain that I felt every day that I was on the hospital bed.
844Please respect copyright.PENANAQeVsDGMtQk
Because with that pain,
844Please respect copyright.PENANAJu8Kpe1VDf
Came the chance to live again.
