Remember me - hemmings [3]

Chapter 19:

"Emilee...Emilee...Emilee" I heard my name ring through my ears, I sat up and rubbed the sleepy dust from my eyes. I looked over to see Luke sat in the armchair next to my bed. He smiled, got up and hugged me.

"Hey" I said, I whimpered a little as pain shot through my arm, Luke flinched a little and then kiss my forehead.

"Sorry, are you okay? Do you need anything?" He asks, I laugh a little and shake my head. But I did need some thing, I needed Michael, I needed to know if he's okay. And then as if on que my nurse Nina walks in holding a clipboard.

"Ah Emilee glad to see your awake, how's that arm of yours?" She asks smiling a small smile.

"Fine thanks" I say and then she nods and writes on her clipboard. We talk some more, and Nina checks my arm, she also hooks me up to some more tubes, and tells me I have to keep a cannula in my nose at all times now, just in case the accident hasn't damaged my lungs or anything. She gave me some new disgusting antibiotics to.

"Sorry sir, but your going to have to leave now" Nina said to Luke, I became sad and frowned, I didn't want Luke to leave I wanted him to be here when I find out about Micahel, I want him to be here for me just in case something happens to me.

"I can't leave her and I won't" Luke says not moving from the armchair.

"Sir I'm sorry but Emilee needs time to heal" Nina says back with her hands on her hips. He grunts showing his annoyance, he gets up and walks over to the bed. I hold him close to me. I whisper a "just don't leave without me" in his ear, "I promise" he replied he then pulled away and exited my room, along with Nina behind him, and then I was alone. There were other patients but I felt alone.

The a doctor walks in, maybe he knows about Michael.

"Um hey excuse me?" I ask waving my hand, he stops and turns around.

"Is there anything the matter miss?" He asks sweetly. He walked over to the bed and stood above me.

"Do you know the patient Michael Clifford, by any chance?" I ask. He thinks for a moment and then nods.

"Why yes, I think so, he's up on my ward, why do you ask such a question?" He responds, I was glad Michael was safely in a ward somewhere in the hospital. That's all I wanted and that was for Michael to be safe.

"Um well could you maybe tell me what's wrong with him, I was in the car accident with him" I say back, hoping he could give me an answer. He furrows his eyebrows, he looks extremely confused, and I become a little uncomfortable and nervous.

"Strange, I'm just trying to figure out why you aren't in the same ward as him" he says and now I become confused, me and Michael are meant to be in the same ward? His monitor beeps signalling he's needed on his ward, he apologises and leaves. What does he mean by me and Mikey are me at to be on the same ward? I'm getting so worked up about this, it's probably just some mistake and maybe there were just no spaces left.

Lukes POV:

"Sorry sir but your going to have to leave now" Emilees nurse said to me, leave? Is she crazy? I can't leave Emilee like this, I'm not leaving her.

"I can't leave her and I won't" I say back, I glared at her trying to give her the gesture that I was trying to win her over into letting me stay.

"Sir I'm sorry but Emilee needs time to heal" she says, ugh I didng want to put stress on Emilee with me fighting with her nurse, however I felt bad because I have to leave Emilee alone in that hospital bed. I grunt and stand up showing my annoyance, I walked over to Emilee and hugged her frail body.

"Just don't leave without me okay?" She whispers softly in my ear, I nod, "I promise" I whisper back, and I promised I wouldnt, im going to stay here for as long as Emilee needs me. I head out with the nurse following behind me. I begin to walk down the hall and then see a doctor head into Emilees room, maybe she will ask about Mike? Then I realised that I needed to see him.

I head back to the reception and ask for Micahel room, she told me it was room 124 up on the life support ward, the name terrified me to the bone. I made my way to the elevator, Once I reached the ward I began searching for room 124.

"122, 123, ah here we go room 124" I whisper to myself, I take a deep breath, Crap I was so nervous, I then twisted the doorknob and walked in, it wasn't one of those big rooms with a few patients in them like Emilee's room, this was one of those private rooms, which made me even more terrified for some reason. I went and sat down in the seat next to his bed.

"Oh god Michael...come on buddy" I say poking him.

"Michael speak to me man" I say, he then flickers his eyes open, he looks so weak, his normal coloured hair has faded to a murkier colour, his skin is as white as snow, and he is as cold as ice, he looked so thin to, and his eyes had massive dark bags under them, and there was a big bandage on his head. he turned his head towards mine and weakly smiled.

"H-Hey Luke" he stuttered a little, I was so relieved he could speak to me.

"Hey Mikey..." I say I felt tears prick my eyes as I looked at my bestfriend, I couldn't bare to look at him like this it pained me to the core.

"Luke, we need to t-t-talk, sometimes things don't turned out a-as planned..." he said. I nod.

"I know I know you didn't mean to crash the car and I forgive you and-" but I was interrupted my Michael, and I swear I just saw my life crumble right in front of my eyes as soon as the words escaped his lips.

"I'm dying Luke"

I stared at Michael Blankly, what does he mean he's dying?! He can't die?!

"Luke, they are seeing whether I can breathe independently, they are seeing if I can still breath by myself...t-the accident caused my lung to close in on itself...and I h-have also lost a lot of blood, and they s-say there won't b-be a doner in time..." He speaks weakly. Tears prick my eyes.

"I'll be your doner Michael...ill see if I match!" I pleaded to him.

"Luke, there isn't m-much time...doctors say I probably w-won't make it t-to the end of the week, tell the boys that I'm so g-grateful for everything t-they have done for me" he says to me I feel my hot tears poor down my face and onto the sheets.

"Is Emilee okay?" He then asks, I nod.

"M-Michael you can't leave mate, okay you can't, think what your going to do to me to the boys...to Emilee, you can't leave her or us, I need you, they need you, she needs you! Mikey you can't just leave like this, you cant, you just cant" I say sniffling. He chuckles lightly and I looked up at him.

"This will probably be the last time we will ever speak to eachother, I love you Luke, and the boys...and...and Emilee, and God damn Muke is still strong! Tell the boys they will always mean the world to me" he says weakly, I wipe my tears and nod.

"Also give Emilee this..." he said, and handed me his beanie, I cried at the sight of it. I wipe my tears away, I bend down and hug my Bestfriend one last time, because I think this may be it. I tell him I'll give Emilee the beanie and he thanks me. I walk to the door and then turn around and look him one last time deep in the eyes.

"Thankyou Michael Clifford, you idiot, thank you for everything" I say weakly s,long as tears rolled down my cheeks and onto my chest.

"Bye Luke" He says smiling.

"Bye Michael"
