If I stay

When Mia is being moved to the ICU and  after her BFF Kim arrived. She have a lot of flashbacks; about her audition to Juilliard, about her grandparents, about her early relationship with Adam and how she and Kim met in middle school. How they hated each other at first but then soon became fast friends, inseparable ever since. Last, Mia hopes that she can see Adam before she goes.

While Mia is in the ICU,  The nurse told her grandparents that Mia can hear them. So her Grandparents starts to wonders if she will want to die and be with her parents or not. But Ghost Mia is all alone in the weird space between life and death. Mia soon realizes that she could choose to live or to die. At that very last moments, Adam has arrived, because Kim went to find him and bring him to the hospital. But the security won't let Adam in and see Mia, just because he's not part of her family member.

To me, I think the rules saying that only families are allowed in the ICU were a bad idea. Take Mia's case for an example.  At first, she actually choose to die and be with her parents,  instead of staying and living with everyone who loves her. But due to Adam's hard work on trying really hard  to get close to her, to  touch her  and be by her side; Mia she woke up at the very last minute.  Now think about what if Adam "didn't" have the chance  to touch her?  What if he didn't break through the securities and got blocked outside the ICU room?  Definitely, Mia will leave the world.  Because the only thing that can make her stay, is Adam.  I think skinship between families and lovers are still different in some kind of ways. Just like the scent of love. When you smell some kinds of scent or being touched by someone you love, you would feel relieved and steady. So I think the hospitals should banned this rule.

Right now, if I got stock in a weird space between life and death, if I got to know that I have the choice to choose to live or to die, I would probably choose to live. Because I care about every person that I love. I know that my parents aren't the only one that loves me, even though they might be the one who loves me the most. But I still have friends, cousins, and grandparents who also loves me very much. I know that if this kinds of accidents really happened on me, my parents would want me to survive and live a happy life. Not just for them but for myself.  Plus, I still have to leave my parents and have my own life and family anyway in the future,  so I think this is just the matter of time.
