This Ain't The End [The WANTED FanFiction - Nathan Sykes]

This Ain't The End - Part 32

The taxi arrived in fifteen minutes and the drive back was silent but I didn't really mind as I rested my body in his arms. Silence was what I needed right now.

When we arrived back at the hospital, as promised, Nathan let me pay for the return taxi and we made our way back to Nessy's room. The doctor who was in the room at the time gave us an update which in short meant that there'd been no change.

'She might come around soon but if she does, please try and put her back to sleep as soon possible. If she starts wheezing, call us,' the doctor told us said.

Nathan and I sat on the chairs we were sat in before and just watched. When the doctor left, I lent my head on his shoulder and he mirrored the action.

'It'll be okay you know?' he began.

'Hmm?'

'In the end. It'll be okay. Whether... she makes it or not... It'll be okay,' he said. I nodded. I wanted to get angry with him for suggesting that Nessy might not make it through but I knew very well that it was a highly plausible possibility.

'Thank you,' I said to him quietly, hugging his arm.

'What for?' he asked. I shrugged.

'Everything. Being my friend. Being with me throughout this. Taking me out tonight. Thanks,' I said. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer.

'No problem,' he whispered back, placing a kiss on my forehead.

Suddenly, we heard a louder beep. My gaze switched to Nessy. The only other electrical items in this room were all connected to Nessy. I got up and out of Nathan's arms and rushed over to her. Her eyes were wide open and she was gasping for breath.

'Nessy?' I said. Her eyes flickered open. My mind couldn't even comprehend what was going on.

'I'm going to see Mummy now. Aren't I Lola?' she wheezily asked me. I gulped. Did she mean it? Tears hit the back of my eyes and slowly started escaping my eyes.

'Only if you want to,' I said. I knelt down and took her tiny hand, only partially aware that Nathan had pulled the emergency chord next to us.

'If I go see Mummy, will I see you again?' she asked me, breathlessly. I shook my head.

'Nessy, if you go, you can see Mummy again. But you'll never see me, Daddy, Ellie or Nathan or any of your friends back at home again,' I said. She sighed and coughed a little. I gripped her hand tighter. I noticed her eyes switch up to see Nathan and she gave a small smile.

'Lola... Is Nathan your boyfriend now?' she asked me. I laughed whilst debating what to tell her. I knew she wanted it, we'd discussed it two evening ago in bed. But would it be okay to lie to her? After a minute of debate, I nodded, knowing that if they managed to survive this, it was a possibility – the two clearly felt a spark this morning.

'Y-yes he is,' I said out loud, praying that he'd follow suit. I then felt him crouch down to my level and put his arms around me, pressing a short kiss to my cheek. The smile we saw was worth that one lie.

'W-will I get to be the bridesmaid?' she asked me randomly. It sounded random but it wasn't. She'd read about princesses and bridesmaids dressing up in pretty dresses and tiaras and ever since then, she'd always wanted to be a bridesmaid.

'Of course Nessy. You will be the prettiest princess bridesmaid of them all and have the prettiest dress and tiara,' I said. My voice started cracking and more tears made their way down my cheeks. My make-up was running. I hated anyone seeing me like this. It made me feel stupid and weak. I especially hated Nessy seeing me like this. I always thought she'd be so scared. But she didn't seem to mind this time. She seemed to understand.

'Thank you Lola... It hurts and I want to go and see Mummy now. She'll make it better. Is that okay?' she asked me. I felt Nathan kneel down and gently put his arms around me.

'If you want to Nessy. Only go if you want to,' I said. I leaned over to her and kissed her hand. 'I love you Nessy. Forever and ever. Don't you dare ever forget that,' I whispered, just loud enough for her to hear.

'I won't. I love you too Lol...a,' she said and her body relaxed. The doctor suddenly came rushing in frantic and she went over to a machine and started pressing buttons, then went over to Nessy with a few tools. But after a minute or so, she stopped and shook her head.

'I'm sorry. I've tried everything... But she's gone,' the doctor whispered out. I fell back into Nathan's arm and cried. His arms around me became tenser as he hugged me tighter. I cried into his chest and clung onto him with every tear. She was gone. The only thing or person I loved and loved me back was gone.
