"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

"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.
