"I'm really scared... I don't wanna lose him..." she sobbed. Audrey couldn't imagine life without Alex. They fought all the time but, it was usually because they had done something without realizing to hurt each other. It was complicated.

I know. Mr. Wilhelm said. He knew how close Alex and Audrey were, and it was easy to see that they really cared about each other. Alex was such a great guy, anyone that knew him would be upset to find out that he was possibly dying.

"Audrey. Do you wanna go see him now? I'll come with you. It's okay." Greg told her softly. Audrey nodded and Greg hugged her as he took her into the room. "He looks pretty bad but don't be nervous. You can still hug him and kiss him and everything. Just be gentle and be careful around all the tubes." he said. Audrey nodded and walked into the room. Greg left and went back to where Cara and the Wilhelms were. Audrey continued to cry as she saw Alex. She sat in the chair next to his bed and held his hand. She leaned in and softly kissed his forehead. She hated seeing him like this.

Alex was vaguely aware of what was happening around him. He could hear what people were saying when they were talking to him, and he could tell when and where people touched him. He could tell that it was Audrey in the room with him right now, because nobody else would kiss him on the forehead.

Audrey squeezed Alex's hand tightly. "I'm right here... I'm not going to leave you... Just keep holding on for me... I'm not ready to lose you..." she whispered, leaning in and kissing his forehead again.
Greg sighed when he reached the waiting area. "She's not doing so well... She was trying really hard to stay brave but, man, as soon as she saw Alex it looked as if her heart was ripped in half." he said, really to nobody in particular except for Cara and Caroline.

Alex just lay there totally still, listening to Audrey talk.
It was hard to see him like that. Normally he's so full of life, and pretty much whenever I see him he looks happy. Now he looks... Not like that at all... Caro said softly.

Cara nodded and rested her hand on Caroline's shoulder. "It's hard on everyone." Cara said. Greg nodded. "But I've never seen Audrey like this. Do you think she loves him?" he asked. Cara nodded. "Of course she does. They're best friends." she replied. Greg shook his head. "No. I don't mean like that. Of course she loves him like that but I meant, is she in love with him?" Cara shrugged. "I think she is but she'll never admit it."
Audrey softly stroked Alex's forehead, not wanting to leave his side for a second.

Caro just stood there listening to that conversation. It did look like Audrey was in love with Alex, but she didn't feel like she knew Audrey well enough to say anything.

Greg smiled softly. "And we all know how Alex feels about her." he said. Cara laughed softly. It was nice to think of good memories instead of worrying if Alex would make it or not.

Caro laughed. It was very obvious how much Alex loved Audrey. He talked about her so much, and so fondly.

Cara realized that Caroline probably didn't know something important. "I'm not sure if Alex told you, but, Audrey is engaged to another guy. He's a really nice guy, but, they're just not meant for each other the way Alex and Audrey are." she said.

((Poor Floyd. He has a cut on his neck that he keeps scratching and it's not healing and looks gross, so I just put some boots on his back feet. He looks so sad! He's just sitting there staring at me, it looks like he's thinking "Jackie! Help me, why are you torturing me? First you gave me a bath and now you're putting boots on me!..." lol. I feel so awful.))
Oh wow, is she really? I had no idea. I knew she was going out with someone, but Alex didn't talk about it often so I didn't know if it was serious or anything. Caro said.

((awww! poor floyd! lol! we put boots on the girls during winter! sophie does not like them! she like hops around like if shes scared to touch anything with them!))
Cara nodded. "Alex doesn't like talking about it much." she said. "He hates Brad."

((Floyd hops around and eventually they fall off. He hates them! lol))
Well you can't blame him, if Mike had gotten engaged when I liked him before we were going out, I'd hate the bitch. Caro said.

((lol! )) Cara laughed. "Yeah. I don't blame Alex at all. If I was in his situation, I'd hate Greg's fiancee too, but, I'm Greg's fiancee and I don't hate myself." she said with a smile.
