"What room is she in?" Christen asks.

"1701." I say as the team walk towards the new Hospital room Tobin just got moved too.

When we get outside the room all of us stop as we hear something coming from Tobin's room.

"What the?" Alex questions.

"Shhh." I say and clamp my hand down over her mouth so we can all listen to my sister singing. "Astrid's singing"

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me

You know, she put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

"I'm guessing you guys are her friends?" A nurse asks.

"Yeah." Ash says.

"She's been singing all night." Another nurse says. "It's the first night in a long time that the whole floor has slept through the night."

"Why's she singing?" Emily asks.

"Tobin loves when Astrid sings." I say and everyone looks at me. "Astrid can't do anything to help Tobin and it's killing her. The only thing she can really do is sing so she's gonna sing until Tobin's out of her coma."

"Again?" Ash whispers as we hear Astrid start singing again.

My mother said I'm too romantic

She said, "You're dancing in the movies."

I almost started to believe her

Then I saw you and I knew

Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older

Maybe it's all that I've been through

I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder

And how I see myself with you

I don't say a word

But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know

There you go, saving me from out of the cold

Fire on fire, would normally kill us

With this much desire, together, we're winners

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners

But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me

And look in my eye

You are perfection, my only direction

It's fire on fire, mmm

It's fire on fire

When we fight, we fight like lions

But then we love and feel the truth

We lose our minds in a city of roses

We won't abide by any rules

I don't say a word

But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know

There you go, saving me from out of the cold

Fire on fire, would normally kill us

With this much desire, together, we're winners

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners

But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me

And look in my eye

You are perfection, my only direction

It's fire on fire, oh

It's fire on fire

Fire on fire, would normally kill us

With this much desire, together, we're winners

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners

But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

Fire on fire, would normally kill us

With this much desire, together, we're winners

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners

But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me

And look in my eye

You are perfection, my only direction

It's fire on fire

You are perfection, my only direction

It's fire on fire

"Like we said." One of the nurses say. "She only takes at most 2 minutes between songs."

"The longest break she's taken was 5 minutes." Another nurse says.

"Why'd she stop for that long?" Christen asks.

"We think she needed water."

"Well Astrid needs food so let's go." I say and walk into Tobin's hospital room.

Once in the hospital room I see my twin with her head rested on Tobin's thigh and she's looking straight up at Tobin. I also see Tobin's family who wave at me so I wave back then I walk over to my sister.

"Strides." I softly say and rub her back.

Astrid turns her head towards me and I see her bloodshot eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"We brought Chinese." I say and hold up the bag of Beef fried rice along with the drink. "and we got you a Root Beer."

Astrid smiles at me then she sits up so I sit down on her lap which causes my twin to wrap her arms around me. I then set the food on that little table thing in front of us then I start feeding my sister while everyone talks around us.

Periodically I'll catch Astrid looking at Tobin so I distract her with her Root Beer.

After my twin has eaten her food, which I assume is the first meal she's had in days, I notice Astrid humming so I get everyone's attention and motion for them to stop talking. Once all the talking has stopped everyone looks at Astrid as she starts to sing again.

Take away the big shirts, the tattoos, the sweatpants and Vans

Okay, I don't wear no makeup, no purse in my hands

My resting bitch face is mistaken for the mean girl

But what if I told you

There's nothing I want more in this world

Than somebody who loves me naked

Someone who never asks for love

But knows how to take it

Are you that somebody

Who sees a wall and breaks it

Are you ready to fight just to see what's lost behind my flaws

Can you love me naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

Ooooooh yeah yeah

Might be a bitch in the morning so catch me at night time

Some of my friends think I'm moody but I think I'm just fine

I could be pissed but I'll act like I'm not

I really remember when I say I forgot

No matter how hard I try

To run away from love at the end of the night

I need somebody who loves me naked

Someone who never asks for love

But knows how to take it

Are you that somebody

Who sees the wall and breaks it

Are you ready to fight just to see what's lost behind my flaws

Can you love me naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

I need someone who loves me when I wake up

Who thinks I'm beautiful when I'm looking fucked up

I want that perfect love, am I asking too much

Someone who shoots for the stars, know when

I think I'm not even good enough

I need somebody who loves me naked

Someone who never asks for love

But knows how to take it

Are you that somebody

Who sees the wall and breaks it

Are you ready to fight just to see what's lost behind my flaws

Can you love me naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Naked

Tobin needs to wake the fuck up.
