• It's so dark and cold in this room. "Hello?" Am I all alone? He sits up and sighs softly to him self. "Anyone? Is anyone there?" He looks around and all he could see was the darkness all around him. "Please? Anyone?" He cries out. "I don't want to be alone! Someone Please!" He begins to sink farther in the darkness. "Someone! Anyone! Help Me! I don't want to be alone! Someone please!" He feels a tear fall down his cheek and fall. He waits and listens, But nothing comes. No sound of the tear hitting the ground. "What is this?! Someone! Is anyone There! Please!" More tears begin to fall from his eyes. "Please! I can't move! My body won't respond to me! Someone Help Me! I don't want To Die like this? I don't want to be alone anymore! I want my mother back! MOM! Don't go! Mom, Don't leave me all alone! Please Come back to me! I'm afraid! Mother!"

    Suddenly, he felt a soft hand settle on his face. "You will never be alone. I'll always be with you." He opened his eyes to find the shimmering apparition of his mother floating in front of him. "I'll always be with you. In here." A shimmering hand came over his heart. "Sometimes you will find yourself alone and that it may hurt, but just remember me and I'll always be there to make it better. I'm always with you in your heart." The shimmering hand left it's post over his heart and His mother kissed him on the cheek. "Now open your eyes. Someone is waiting for you." "What do you mean? Mother?" "Open your eyes. Please! Open them!" His mother's voice suddenly sounded like his best friend's "Please! Open your eyes! Wake up! Please!"

    He gently opened his eyes a crack, only to see his best friend weeping over the bedside. "Raine, What's the matter? Why are you crying?" Raine looked up to see her best friend staring at her pain filled face. "Danny! Oh thank heavens! I thought i lost you. I thought i was going to be alone. Please don't leave me!" Danny toke his friend's hand in his and pulled her in for a hug. "I'm not going anywhere, Raine. I know how it feels to be alone, and I don't want to make anyone feel the same way." He smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Beside if I'm gone how can we wreck the school dance next month?" Raine looked his face then and the white hospital wall for a moment, then back to him. "You know something, You're right. Now, Don't you ever do that to me again." They both laughed.
