“Nice,” I whispered back.

Footsteps could be heard right outside the door, and someone walked, almost ran in.

“Kieren!” Lark shouted, almost ripping off the tubes connected to her body.

He walked right over to her, and did his best to give her a warm, sweet hug.. She needed it.

After that, he turned to me. Uh oh!

“Sorry you have to hear this Lark, but @#@ *(#@x%x ....” Kieren went on and on, for who knows how long. “How could you do that to me?! Do you know how much she means to me?”

“Sorry, but this was for your own good. Just ask La-” I didn’t even bother to finish. I had this horrible, and i mean absolutely unbearable, feeling inside of me. I just couldn’t stay there any longer.

I started to walk out of the room, and then began to run. I ran through the hallways, past several flights of stairs, and through a number of doors.

When I finally stopped to catch my breath, I had no idea where I was.
