It has been a few weeks since the life or death battle with Dian and Molly has never felt so glumy in her life. She hasn't smiled since her closest friend got stabbed in front of her eyes. It took the doctors a while to put new stuffing in him and stitch him back together. Molly was visiting Lou in the hospital every day and she was always asking the doctors, will Lou be ok. But the doctors were saying that they did everything they could, right now it's all up to him. That line always made Molly worry, sure she does believe that Lou will survive, but she can't help but fear that he will not make it. Her friends tried everything they could to cheer her up, but nothing worked. Molly didn't even visited her child in the Big World. It's like none of her surroundings even mattered to her anymore, that's how strong her depression was and it went on like this for a few weeks. It was a new day and at that time Molly was visiting Lou in the hospital. Lou was laying down on the bed unconscious and Molly was sitting on the chair next to him, looking at him and prying that he would open his eyes. But then, Molly heard the door open, it was Ox who entered the room.
Ox—Hi Molly...
Said Ox with a calm voice.
Molly—Oh, hi Ox...
She said in a quiet and sad tone.
Ox—H-how is he...?
Molly—*sigh* He's still in coma...
Said Molly really depressed. It hurt it Ox to see her like this, so he decided to set next to her and talk.
Ox—Molly I'm...worried about you, we all do. I know that you're worried about Lou, but you can't be this depressed all your life. I mean, you even stopped visiting your child in the Big World, she most be looking for you.
Molly—I know, I know I'm sorry. I just...can't help it...
Said Molly feeling depressed and embarrassed, looking at Lou. Ox sighed and spoke again.
Ox—Molly, I...I want to apologize.
Said Ox leaving Molly confused. She turned to him and asked.
Molly—"Apologize"? For what?
Ox—Y'know, about the argument we had a few weeks ago. How I acted was unexceptionable and for that, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to humiliate you in front of the whole town, I just wanted to protect you from him. *sigh* Look...I've been thinking about the words you said that day, about how everyone deserves a second chance to prove they can be better and...you're right about that, but...you weren't there when that happened a year ago. Hearing about what happened is one thing, but witnessing it...that totally different. We witnessed what Lou did to us in the past, so it was hard for us to give him a second chance...
Said Ox looking down and remembering everything that had happened. Molly understood what he meant, so she putted her hand on his shoulder and spoke.
Molly—It ok Ox, I understand. I'm sorry too. You're right, It's hard to forgive someone who made your life a living nightmare, but that's the only way to let your anger and the past go. Sometimes it's not easy to forgive someone, but it's the only way to let it go. Also there's something that we should always remember. You can't judge someone without knowing the whole story. There can be people who are bad for no reason and there are people who are just...poor souls that went through a lot in their lives. I'm sure that Lou didn't mean to do what he did a year ago, I mean sure he was a bad guy, but...he's a victim too and making a bad guy suffer even more, never tours him into a good guy. He's lonely and I...I couldn't just stand there and do nothing, I wanted to help him...and I still do. And...prototype or not, he's still a doll...
Said Molly with a calm and convincing tone in her voice. She then looked at Lou with a sad look and she took his hand. Ox noticed it and smiled softly.
Ox—You really love him, don't you?
Asked Ox with a small smirk on his face.
Molly—Yeah~...
When Molly realized what she just said, she immediately covered her red face of embarrassment.
Ox started laughing a little, because of Molly's reaction.
Molly—Hey, n-not because of his perfect face, ok? It's...much more then that.
Ox—(chuckles) I see and you're still wearing that bracelet he bought for you.
Said Ox, pointing at the bracelet on Molly right hand. Molly looked at it and blushed hard. But then they heard the door open and saw a pretty doll nurse entering the room.
The Nurse—Hi Molly I'm sorry, but your visiting time is over. You need to leave now.
Molly frowned, but she understood. She looked at Lou and decided to give him a small, soft goodbye kiss on his forehead and she and Ox left the hospital. But before Molly could go home, Ox stopped her for a moment.
Ox—Listen Molly, I know you're depressed and all, but maybe you should go and visit your child to the Big World. You haven't been there for a while, you're kid most be looking for you.
Molly—I know, but...what about Lou?
Ox—Don't worry, if the doctors will have any news about him, I'll alert you. Now go on.
Molly didn't know what to do, she didn't want to leave Lou, but she knew that Ox was right. So she nodded, thanked him and left. Molly was going to the portal to see her child once in a while, but while she was walking, she couldn't stop thinking about Lou. Molly then started remembering all the fun times she had with Lou and it breaks her heart, knowing that he's in a hospital, because of some psycho.
Molly—Well it's good to hear your voice
I hope you're doing fine
And if you ever wonder
I'm lonely here tonight
I'm lost here in this moment
And time keeps slipping by
And if I could have just one wish
I'd have you by my side
Oh, oh I miss you
Oh, oh I need you
And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder, everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay
I will stay...
When Molly started remembering ever second she spend her time with Lou, Her eyes were tearing up again.
Molly—Well I tried to live without you
But tears fall from my eyes
I'm alone and I feel empty
God, I'm torn apart inside
I look up at the stars
Hoping you're doing the same
And somehow I feel closer
And I can hear you say...
Her tears were still falling from her eyes.
Molly—Oh, oh I miss you
Oh, oh I need you
I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one could take you place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me, I will stay
I will...stay, always stay
I never wanna lose you
And if I had to I would choose you
So, oh stay
Please always stay
You're the one that I hold onto
Cause my heart will stop without...you
Molly started crying even more, remembering her fun times with Lou.
Molly—I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one could take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay
I will...stay
I'll always stay
And I love you more than I did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me, I will stay
I will stay
I will stay...
Molly then saw, she finally made it to the portal. She stopped crying, sighed and wiped away her tears. She approached to the portal to go through, but before she could, she looked back at the Imperfection. She could see the hospital from a far, where Lou is being taken care of.
Molly—Oh Lou...please be ok...
She said with a sad tone in her voice, but she's not giving up on him. So, she finally went through the portal to see her kid again and waiting for her child to fall asleep, she could come back to Imperfection.
