Chapter 17
Avery's Pov

"Kohl Black's family?" The nurse asked. We all stood up.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked

"He's going to be fine," she started. All of us let out a huge sigh, as if something heavily had been lifted off our shoulders.

"He lost a lot of blood from the stab wounds, but we have stabilized him, and he should wake up in the next couple of hours," she smiled

"Can we see him?" I asked

"Only immediate family while he's sleeping right now. Are you immediate family?" She questioned

"Well they are his younger siblings, and I'm his girlfriend," I said

"You three can see him," she smiled

"Thank you," the twins and I beamed.

"You two go in, I'll be there in a sec. Call me if something happens," I said to the twins. They nodded their heads and walked off into his room.

"You guys go home, I'll call you when we need to be picked up or something," I said to the boys

"Are you sure?" Andrew asked

"I'm sure. Go home and sleep. I'll be okay," I smiled shooing them off, the bags under their eyes suggesting they need sleep.

"Alright, love you," they smiled

"Love you too," I said back and walked off into Kohl's room with the twins.

The twins were lying on the end of the bed, passed out. I smiled at the two curled up together, and pulled an extra blanket over them. I took a seat in the chair beside his bed, and just looked at him. I pushed his black hair off of his face, and felt a few tears slip down my cheeks.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen. If I had never have met Kohl, I wonder what this year would've been like. I wouldn't have been re acquainted with Josh, I would probably still be the feisty, opinionated girl that I am, captain of the volleyball and soccer team, but I wouldn't have met the guy that has angered me, saddened me, made me feel loved, protected me, and made me feel the happiest I have ever felt in a while. It's been a crazy year, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Kohl has made me so happy, and I can't picture my life without him. I love him. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost him.

I pulled my chair closer to his bed, grabbed his hand, and laid my head down on his arm, shutting my eyes drifting off into a deep sleep.

Dream

"Got it!" I yelled as the other teams server, served it to our side. I bumped the ball up to Jamie, who set it to Hannah, who spiked down at the floor with a loud smack.

We won state championships! We all ran I to the centre of our side jumping, yelling and shouting, crashing into a big group hug.

After the game, I exited the change room to meet up with my brothers, Josh and Kohl. Well, it was supposed to be my brothers, Josh and Kohl.

"Hey, where's Kohl?" I asked looking around for him

"Avery, what are you talking about?" Andrew asked

"Kohl. He was here, where'd he go?" I questioned

"Are you feeling okay Ave?" Jace asked

"I'm fine guys, I just want to know where he went. He was right here," I said

"Avery, you know that Kohl didn't make it remember? We were all there when he flatlined," Leo said sadly

"No, I just saw him in the stands! He was with you guys," I said

"Avery listen to me. I know it hurts, but Kohl's gone. He's gone, and he's not coming back. It hurts us all, but it's true. You need to move on. I let you go through your grieving period, but it's time to move on. He's gone and he isn't coming back Avery! Get that through your head!" Andrew yelled

I looked at my brother shocked. He's never yelled at me like that. He knows how much Kohl's death hurt me, I loved Kohl for Pete's sake. He was my best friend, my partner in crime, my boyfriend.

"I-I'm sorry," I whispered, feeling my bag slide off my shoulder, I ran out, years flowing down my face.

I didn't know where I was going until I ended up in front of Kohl's head stone. I sank to my knees and cried.

Kohl Black
1997-2015
Loving son, brother, and friend
Earth lost a fighter, but heaven gained an angel

The stone read.

"I saw you today," I whispered "I saw you. At the game. You and the boys were cheering us on like you always did. We won state. I did it for you Kohl. I did it all for you," I whispered "can you see me out there on the court and field? Why am I even asking, I know you can. You're watching us all," I smiled through the tears

"I miss you," I sniffled "I miss you so much. Time will never change that. Andrews telling me I have to move on, but I can't. I can't move on and I don't want to. I love you," I said

Dream over

When I woke up from that horrible dream, I felt a hand stroking my hair. I couldn't see the boys any where in the room, and the twins were still sleeping at the end of the bed so that meant it was....no it can't be...

"Kohl?" I asked looking up to meet those blue eyes I've been waiting to see

"I'm here baby," he smiled

"I thought I was going to lose you!" I cried happily throwing my arms around him

"You'll never lose me. I'll never leave you alone, I promise. I'll always be here for you," he smiled

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Schools taken up a lot of time! Good news though, I got 80s and 90s on my semester 1 report card! Now I have the hard crap! Science, math, geography and gym :( okay, geo and gym aren't that hard but still.

Also, the ponies have been taking up a lot of time too! I have three horses now so it's hard to find time to sit down and write!

Love you guys!
