Hey Guys! I do apologize for not updating this story sooner. A lot has been going on between my washer breaking down and getting sick a few times due to high blood sugar. Diabetes sucks! Anyway, here is chapter 3!

Amy opened her eyes several hours later just in time to hear Jacen's voice softly telling her that her brother was now awake. She sighed as she yawned and stood up. She walked into Steve's room. He was still on a breathing machine, but had a pad and pen available so he could write if he had anything to say. "Hey Steve." She said.
Steve blinked his eyes in greeting and then wrote on the pad, "Did you read my letter?"
Amy shook her head and then pulled out the envelope. She opened it and read it. After she finished, she blinked back tears which were now forming in her pale green eyes. She looked at her brother and asked, "Why are you making me choose?"
Steve wrote on the pad, "Because he was my friend before all of this happened. I would rather remember him as my best friend than my sister's boyfriend."
"It's not fair!" She exclaimed, not caring when a nurse glanced into the room. "I will not do it!" She then turned and left the hospital room angrily. She walked toward the elevator, passing by Jacen who was in the waiting room. She didn't even glance into the room as she passed by.
Jacen was thumbing through a magazine and didn't notice her walk by.
She took the elevator down to the first floor and headed for the cafeteria. She needed coffee just then. She also needed time to think. She got her coffee and then found a seat by herself their in the cafeteria. She sighed as she sat there. Her mind was completely flooded with conflict over her brother's ultimatum. She was angry he made such a demand of her. It also entered her mind that this could be her brother's last few days, so she ultimately decided to focus on him for now.
She finished her coffee and then headed for the elevator. She headed back to her brother's hospital room. She just reached his room when she heard the alarm go off in his room.
She hurried into the room but was pushed back out to the hallway along with her father and Jacen. Several nurses and two doctors worked to resuscitate her brother's heart. "Steven!" She called out as she felt her father loop an arm around her.
A nurse came out of the room and instructed them to go wait in the waiting room while they continued to work on Steve.
They did as she said and all took seats in their.
Several minutes later, the doctor came walking into the room. His expression was grim, so they knew it wasn't good news. He looked at them and said, "I'm so sorry. He's gone."
Amy dissolved into tears as her father also began to sob.
Jacen reached over to hug Amy but she pushed him away. She got up and hurried out of the waiting room. She had to get out of there. This was all too much.
