Ooooooh I just got an idea!! What if he doesn't die, but....listen to my idea. okay, so Lianna's parents are taking her to the hospital. Alex is still there. They're all grim-faced, and Lianna asks them what's wrong, and they say, "You'll see." She gets all panicked and worked up, and she thinks that he has died. But when she gets there, the doctor tells them that Alex is missing. They lead her to his room, and there's nobody there. He just went missing, like that. What do you think?

I like that one. I don't really like the idea of him dying, even though it would be good. But why would he leave?
No...I was thinking more of the lines that he...omg I have no idea why he would go missing!! Um...any ideas?
Fed up with the hospital? Took a trip to see her and fell down somewhere going into shock? That would be fun to write. Then they'd have search parties out for him and they could find him in the woods or something, unconscious.
i hate to be a hater :( but...it totally doesnt fit what we've written so far at all... i mean, people running away from hospitals doesnt happens, especially when there hooked up to machines, that only happens in non-realistic fiction. Most people dont live when they have conditions such as Alex's and having him die wouldnt be all that bad! It would be her getting over him, and realizing that just because someone isnt living doesnt mean their not there for you.
but uh...if it makes anyone feel more inclined, he could go into a coma and die peacefully perhaps
NO ALEX IS NOT GOING TO DIE GIGGLES!! HE IS NOT!! HE IS NOT!! DO YOU HEAR ME?? HE IS NOT GOING TO DIE!!!
*frowns* WHY?! IT WOULDNT BE BAD! AT ALL! GIVE ME A GOOD REASON WHY!!! AND WHY DO ALL ENDINGS BE SO HAPPY?!
I'm fine with him dying. It'll make the story more realistic. After all, not all people survive a car accident. (pooh! I don't really want him to die, and I came up with the idea of the car accident)
*springs into the air* YES!!! Ok, on with the story...
KILL HIM!!!! (sorry for the outburst. I just think it's a good idea)
NO!! I DON"T WANT ALEX T DIE!!! I guess it would probably be best to the story, but I've become a bit attached to him (All this time, I've been reading the story, but I haven't been posting because I was sort of apprehensive about posting)
Yeah, that's kinda how I feel. But it would be good for the story, even though I do like Alex.
KILLLLLL HIMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He needs to die. Lianna'll just have to get over it. Sorry, dude.
Yesh! Dying isnt such a bad thing, she'll have him with her in her heart, whether he is dead or alive.
They say, "true love never really dies."
lol! happy dance! happy happy happy dance!
*skips around on the board, trampling posts* WOOO
stomping weasels the who way.... (has anyone but me, heard weasel stomping day?)
I think it's kind of funny that you two are happy because we're killing a character. :D
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I JUST GOT A GREAT IDEA A GREAT IDEA A GREAT IDEA A GREAT IDEA DOES ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE WANT TO TO TO HEAR HEAR IT IT IT IT IT IT??????? SORRY SORRY IM JUST REALLY EXCITED!!!!
OKAY SO WHAT IF....ALEX GOES INTO A COMA. A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, LONG ONE. AND I MEAN REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LONG ONE. LIKE...YEARS. AT THE BEGINNING, LIANNA IS SO SHOCKED, HER MIND REACTS AS IF HE IS DEAD. SO SHE GOES INTO A KIND OF "NUMBNESS"- KIND OF WHAT BELLA WENT INTO DURING NEW MOON. SHE LIVES HER LIFE WITH THE PAIN SHE WOULD HAVE FELT IF ALEX HAD REALLY DIED. HE'S BEEN IN THE COMA FOR SO LONG THAT EVERYONE JUST ACTS AS IF HE IS DEAD. AFTER A REALLY LONG WHILE, LIANNA STARTS TO WARM UP TO ANOTHER BOY THAT IS KIND TO HER. HE'S ALSO CUTE. SINCE IT'S BEEN YEARS AND ALEX IS STILL IN A COMA, LIANNA SOON BECOMES THE OTHER BOY'S GIRLFRIEND. THEY BECOME PRETTY SERIOUS...THEY'VE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. MAYBE THE BOY CAN EVEN PROPOSE TO HER OR SOMETHING...AND THEN ALEX COMES OUT OF HIS COMA.I don't know if the idea will work. It would give the story conflict and drama and all that, but the thing is, there's a lot of time passage involved...we'd have to find a way to make the reader feel the time passage. All of that doesn't happen in a week, it happens in a matter of many years.
Hmmmm....I don't know. It would be kind of weird to have him in a coma for so long. There's only a few cases where people come out of comas that long, it would be unrealistic to me. But I don't know. It's the groups decision. It would make me sad if she had to choose like Bella. 'Cause then half the people would want her with one guy, and the other half with the other.
EXACTLY!!! That's what would make the story good. *shrug* It was just an idea...I like it, but if it's unrealistic, or too complicated, we can change it. I just don't want Alex too die- not because I care about him as a character, but because I think it will ruin the story. When stories become too sad and full of tragedy and dramatic, it becomes sappy, and unrealistic.
She could always hook up with a new guy after she gets over Alex's death. Like in your idea where she meets a new guy while he's in a coma.
Yeah...but with my idea, when Alex comes out of a coma, she'd have to decide between him and the new guy...
um that really doesntsounds good to me personally because we'd have to drag thestory on THAT long nad it seems a bit...unrealistic. I mean...the last like bit of hte boo she could possibly start dating anotehr guy and have Alex's spirit like say: Go on Lianna loving someoe else too isn't bad. the coma thing just....kinda weird for me
I think having Alex's "spirit" say something is weird. Are we really going to turn it into fantasy??
If you people kill of Alex, I am seriously going to stop writing in story!!
So now we're threatening each other? This is getting bad...come on guys. We need to reach a compromise.
It's a romance, though, Daisy! You can't just change it to a fantasy!
It's not a fantasy story. We can't just have something realistic and then suddenly create unicorns that pop in out of nowhere.
No, I wasn't threatening you, Kenzie!! I'm just saying that if Alex dies, I really don't want to keep being a part of the story, because I'm not interested in writing more in that kind of story!! That's all. It's not a threat!!
Okay, I get it. How are we supposed to work this out? Half of us want him to die and the other half don't.
Do you mean it like a question or were you stating a fact?
Okay. Dang it! (no offense) I was hoping you would have an idea.
Oh, sorry. Wait a second!! I DID just get an idea!! Let's do the same thing we did in the writing passionates group! Since half of us want him to live, and half of us want him to die, why don't we make another story- they're both the same story, except in one of them Alex dies, in the other, he doesn't. So everything the same happened in both, up to the point where he dies. That way everyone's happy!!
But then we'd get confused. That's what happened in Writing Passionates. We started mixing them up.
What if we titled one "Alex's Death" and the other "Alex's Survival?" Then we wouldn't be confused!
