The Secret We Share (Lashton Au)

Chapter 12: Pulling The Plug Part 2

Recap:
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!?" I screamed stopping them all in their tracks. Liz looks over at me, something like annoyance in her eyes as she glares me down. She is his mother, shouldn't she of all people want to keep up hope or am I the only one? "Are you pulling the plug?"
Chapter 12 Part 2

Ashton's POV:
       "Yes we are! Luke is in a coma and he's not going to wake up! It's time to move on and give up hope Ashton!" Liz yells. I can feel tears well up in my eyes. She is his mum, she is supposed to want him to survive as much as I do!

         "How the hell could you? He is your son! You have already given up hope, it's only been three months! What if he could've recovered tomorrow?!? What if he could've lived?!?!? And you are so selfish you're going to let him die!! Not even give him any more time!! Get out now!" I scream. I'm seething, Luke could wake up at anytime and she wants to throw away hope already! I go to run over to my Luke and Liz stops me.

         "You have no right to be in here, you little bitch! Luke doesn't deserve to be dragged down by a piece of trash like you! He deserves this, deserves to die! I gave that piece of shit everything! He had to be a hybrid, a muggle hybrid too! He deserves this!" She says quietly as she bends down. What happened to the sweet Liz I met? I prefer her over this bitch.

      The doctor continues getting everything ready to pull the plug. I try to stand up only reaping the knowledge that I twisted my ankle. I look up pleadingly at the doctor when he looks over. He gives me a saddened knowing look that tells me the conversation I first overheard was a fake to make it seem like it was the doctors idea. In truth it was Liz's.

        "We're ready mamn." He replies sadly. Liz nods to tell them to do it. I watch in horror screaming my protests. They pay no heed. The doctor hesitates. I know he understands how wrong this is, how Luke could wake given more time. As he hesitates, I look at Luke.

       I turn away but a slight movement catches my eye, it could be anything. I see it again, the slight movement of fingers, the almost imperceptible movement of the eyelids. I saw it, the doctor and Liz did too. Liz gives the doctor a hard look. I see the eyelashes lift slightly and faint blue irises meet mine as the doctor pulls the plug. The lashes fall again. Was it a dream or is Luke awake? The eyelids stir slightly and the fingers stealthily move. Is he alive? Or is he dead.............
