*Chapter 7*

Justin came back about an hour later bringing several days' worth of clothes with him. He walked into Ali's room to see Mrs. Madison sitting by Ali playing with her hair. "How's she doing?" Justin asked. "Well, we had a real scare while you were gone. Her heart rate dropped real low and she almost stopped breathing, but they brought her back. I guess she's not doing as well as they thought she was," she replied. "Oh my God, is she gonna be okay?" Justin asked rushing to Ali's side. "Well, they've got her stabilized for now, but they said she could do it again at any time." "Ali, I'm sorry I wasn't here for you. I'll never leave your side again," Justin said kissing her forehead. "Well, now that you're back, I think Ali's dad and I are gonna run home and get a change of clothes too," she replied. "We'll be back in a couple hours." "Okay," Justin said not even looking up.

"Ali, you look so peaceful and beautiful. I love you so much. You can't leave me, you just can't. I don't know what I'd do without you. You're too strong to die, Ali. You have too many dreams, too much to accomplish. I know this sounds selfish, but you have to survive this for me, for us. We have to spend the rest of our lives together, we have to get married, have kids, live happily ever after. You're gonna fight this, Ali, I know you are. You're gonna make it," Justin said with tears rolling down his cheeks. He felt Ali squeeze his hand again, only harder this time. He knew it was her way of telling him to be strong, telling him she was going to make it.
