Idina's POV:

So now everyone knows I'm here. That guy could have been in a group. I could be in danger. But I honestly don't care, because Regina sacrificed herself for me, I can't be afraid because there's a chance that things could go wrong. Plus, I need to protect Regina now. And I can't do it if I go away.
I turn to her.
She looks... dead. If it wasn't for her chest going up and down, people would think she's dead. Plus, there's the constant bip of the machine that feels her heartbeat.
I caress her head. She looks like a true angel.
"When she couldn't sleep she used to listen to your songs. Your voice always makes her forget about her problems." says Molly.
"Do you think that if I sing she..."
Molly comes near to me.
"I don't know. But I guess that trying won't hurt anyone."
I shigh. What do I sing? Oh, I have the perfect song.

Where do I begin my love?
Starting with the things I haven't said enough of
Starting with the day you changed my life and ending with the way I feel tonight
Where do I begin?
Where do I belong if you're not here?
This is way beyond my darkest fear
Don't know where I am or where I start
The trail in between is way too far
Where do I begin?
I've always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me, stand by my side
I always turn and lose my sense's each time I intended words to come out right
Where do I begin my love?
Maybe with the morning you brought me the sun
Maybe with the stars from out of space
You took a few and lit up my face
Where do I begin?
I've always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me, stand by my side
I always turn and lose my senses each time I intended for these words would come out right
Where do I begin my love?
I always read the last page instead of the first one
There's no need to rush it all in
I love you and I'll say it again
Where do I begin?
Where should we begin?

Regina's POV:

I can feel Idina next to me. She caresses my head. Then I hear Molly coming inside the room.
She says something about me listening to Idina's songs when I couldn't sleep.
Is she going to sing for me?
She starts to sing. She's singing Where do I begin. I always loved that song. It's so deep and beautiful. I'm not surprised, since everything Idina does is perfect.
I find myself singing with her. In my head, of course. It's just... I feel so powerless. I wish I could do something to make her know I'm here.
I have to try harder.
Right. I have to fight and try. I won't give up. It's my body, my mind. I can do it.
Come on, focus Regina. Focus.
What do I do?
Let's try with a smile first.
Okay.
Focus on your face, Regina. Think about you smiling.
Focus the picture.
Focus it.
Focus it.
Focus it.
Focus.
Focus.
Focus.
My head is starting to hurt.
I don't care. Keep trying.
Focus.
Focus.
Focus.
Please stop, it hurts.
No.
Focus.
Focus.
Please...
Focus.
Focus.
Focus.
STOP!

Idina's POV:

I suddenly hear the heartbeat machine going crazy. The nurse comes into the room.
"What's happening?" asks Molly.
I turn to Regina.
"Regina, Regina, are you okay? Please, don't leave us. Please don't give up. Don't leave me."
Molly gets closer to me.
"Idina..."
"No"
I take Regina's head in my hand.
"Regina, no. No. You're staying here. You're not going anywhere. I won't let you."
"Idina... get away from there."
"I SAID NO!"
What is happening? What are you doing?
"Ladies, you need to leave the room. Now."
Molly takes my hand, and takes me away from Regina.
This could be the last chance to say it. I won't lose it.
"I love you" I whisper. Then I go outside.
