**so, I haven't updated this one in months. I've been really busy, so sorry about that. I had the worst writer's block ever with this story. This chapter is longer than my previous chapters in this story (thank God!). Please review**

A few weeks went by. Things at Life Support were same old same. One day, the people were getting in their usual spots when Paul came in wearing a sad face. "Hello everyone," he said. "I'm afraid we are losing someone. Natalie Goodman…"

Diana gasped. "Natalie!" she whispered as tears filled her eyes.

Angel looked at Diana. "Are you okay, honey?" Angel said.

"No. My daughter is dying!"

Paul crinkled his eyebrows. "It was bound to happen. She has AIDS, and her immune system just can't support her anymore. We're deeply sorry for the loss of your daughter."

Diana stood up. "I can't stay. I must go to her and make amends before she goes. Goodbye." Diana left, and noticed that Angel and Collins were following her. "Why are you guys coming?"

"Because," Angel said. "You're a friend. If you're in pain, we're going to be here for you."

Diana managed to smile a little. "Wow. Thanks, Angel. And thank you too, Collins."

"You're welcome," Collins said. "So, where are we going to find your daughter?"

"Um… I don't know."

"I bet I know where she is!" Angel said. "Come on!"

Diana and Collins followed Angel suspiciously, not knowing where exactly they were going. They followed her for ages until they were in front of a hospital. They entered and Diana went up to the main desk. "Excuse me, but is Natalie Goodman here?" she wanted to know.

The person at the main desk nodded. "Yeah. Who are you?"

"I'm her mother, Diana Goodman."

"Then go on ahead. She's on the 3rd floor, room 335."

"Thank you." Diana ran to the elevator with Angel and Collins close behind. They got the 3rd floor and ran into 335, where they saw Natalie lying weakly on the bed and Henry looking as if he was on the verge of tears. "Natalie," Diana began.

Natalie glanced at Diana. "Mom," she muttered.

"Honey, I am SO sorry for everything I did to you throughout your life. I'm sorry that I hallucinated your brother, never paid attention to you, seemed like I didn't care about you when I've always loved you, left you and Dan, avoided you for years after leaving and was never the mother that I should have been to you. You deserved so much better than what I gave to you and I failed to know that until now. I wish that I could undo everything that has happened throughout the past years and replace it with something better so you wouldn't have to be dying after an awful life. I love you, Natalie. I'm sorry."

Natalie stared at Diana. "Mom, I'm sorry too."

"For what?"

"Everything. I'm sorry that I went out to random clubs at night, used drugs, had everything against you, hated you and wished that I could have had a better life. You're my mother, and that's something that'll never change." Natalie coughed, which scared Diana. "Truth is… I love you too, Mom. I'm glad that you've come to see me before I die."

"I love you too."

Collins began to cry. "I love happy endings," he said.

Natalie glared at Collins. "This isn't an ending," she said. "It's only a beginning." She looked at Henry. "I'm sorry it's turning out this way."

Henry held back tears. "It's okay," he said. "I'll always love you. You know that. Forever you're my love."

Natalie nodded. "You too." She sighed. "I think I'm gonna die."

That did Henry. He cried into his shoulder and Angel went to hug him. "It's gonna be okay," Angel said. "Don't worry."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Henry sobbed. "The love of my life is dying! You don't understand anything!"

"But Harry…"

"It's Henry!"

"Guys, be cool!" Collins said. "This isn't what we do when someone we know is dying in front of us!"

"We don't cry?"

"No. We don't…"

Collins's sentence got interrupted by a long beeping noise. They looked at the screen that showed Natalie's heartbeat, and all they saw was a flat line.
