"There you go," Beatrix pushed Benson aside and he almost tripped as she opened her arms and hurried to Alita. "I couldn't wait for the car to stop," she pulled Alita in a hug and held her face in her hand. "How are you doing my dear," she smiled warmly as she tossed Alita's face side to side. "Forgive me but there should be a scar right about…""Here," Alita touched the left side if her neck. It was still hurting a bit as she touched him."Oh, wow," Beatrix exclaimed. "You covered it up," she laughed."Yeah… make up power," Alita bobbed her head. "Of course, I wouldn't go around with a scar on my neck. I would sink into ground with the first few eyes that land on me," she added."That's exactly what I would do," Beatrix cocked her head and took Alita's hand in here. "Show me to my room please," she whined."Alright, here we go," Alita glanced at Benson said, "come a long now, would ya?" She said mimicking a little of his mother's accent. He rolled his eyes at her and she jerked her f

Alita laid there unconscious and dying slowly. The same feeling of feeling your life leave you, the same visions of her life before her eyes, it all came back. She had had that experience twice now this was the third. She held on to the life that only slipped away the longer she laid there. Benson came home, ordered the door to open and the sight he saw brought him down to his knees. There was blood everywhere and Alita was lying on a man dressed in black looking like an assassin someone had sent to kill her. He crawled towards her, unable to utter a word. He felt literal pain sear through his chest to his heart. He pulled his phone from his pocket with shaky hands and dialed 911. It rang through and an attendant picked but all he could say was, "something bad has happened and then the phone slipped out of his hands to the ground and all the sound around faded into scammghtening silence. He couldn't his eyes as he prayed to wake up from the bad dream. It had to be a dream. She could

Against the advice of the nurse watching over her, Alita walked out of her room in confusion, ignoring l migraine to the right side of her head. She saw Chris walking out of the room and as her eyes trailed him, she saw familiar faces and decided to walk towards them.She screamed and started running back to the room she had seen Chris walk out from you. Everyone was shocked to see her when she turned to see who had screamed. Chris and Ivy were the first in line as everybody ran after her.Alita pushed through the sad nurses and fell to her knees beside Benson. She screamed his name and started hitting his chest. “You have to wake up. You can’t do this to me,” she yelled jabbing the side of the hand into his chest.The nurses were too shocked and distraught to do anything. They just stood there watching her until Chris ran inside the room. “Alita,” he called out but she didn’t turn to look at him.“You promised me you will be with me forever. You can’t die on me now. Please wake up,”

Dumbfounded and dwindling between anger and confusion, Benson cleared his throat. The place went absolutely silent. “Why didn’t you say anything about it? You could have told me. I feel betrayed right now,” he face-palmed. “I just want to go home,” he breathed heavily. “I can’t believe it at all. I just can’t believe our friendship was built on lies all this while. We promised to…” Sarah whined and cried. “All this while, Alita, I thought we were best friends. I told you everything and I thought you did the same,” she turned and wrapped her hands around Luke, looked up at him, and muttered, “please take me out of here.”“Please don’t leave me like this,” Alita extended her hand as she moaned. Her throat patched as she watched Luke lead Sarah out of the room. She was too weak to move and she couldn’t possibly follow after Sarah when Benson was there also preparing to leave.“Let’s go home,” Benson looked at Alita with pain in his eyes. She wiped her face and dragged herself up.Ivy sa

126Julie was Alita's only company as the days went by. As expected, everyone around her was distant. She would sit on the bed in Julie's room and talk to her, even though she knew Julie wouldn't understand what she was saying, it was comforting that she could talk to someone about the burden in her heart and how everyone all her loved ones were avoiding her.Sarah blocked Alita and cut all contacts from her. Alita went to their apartment and saw that Sarah had changed the lock. She went to Luke's house but didn't find anybody at home.

She hadn’t heard from her mother ever since her confession. He called but got no answer, texted but got no reply. She tried to go and see her at Chris’s apartment but couldn’t. One time, she was standing right in front of the door but froze when she raised her hand to knock

"Let's go on a date," Benson said pouring wine into two glasses form them. "We haven't gone anywhere, we haven't gone out ever since…" his eyes snapped close as memories of almost losing Alita to the jaw of death flashed through his mind–not sonething you wouldn't want to remember, not even randomly. "What do you think?" He asked.Alita's face lit up and she giggled sharply. "Are you serious right now?" She squinted at him as she extended her hand and collected her drink. She gingerly whirled the glass before a sip and moaning to the taste that surprised her. "This is amazing," she nodded and took another sip. "What in God's name do I say to that?" She pursed her lips and raised her chin, playfully scowling at him."I don't know," he laughed softly, looking the other way as set himself on the arm of the chair she was seated on."You must be high," Alita jabbed her finger into his side and he yelped moving away. "Should you when ask me about it? You could have surprised me," she scrunc
