Goodbye | EreMika

Chapter 6

Eren's Point of view.

"Mom me and Zeke will go out okay!"
I opened our front door, with Zeke behind me.

"Where are you going?" My mom asked as she came to us.
"We're gonna play catch, I miss playing with my little brother." Zeke ruffled my hair. Ugh now it's messy.
I slapped his hand away from my hair, and glared at him.

Mom chuckled and said "Yeah okay as long as you go home by sunset. And Eren you know the rules."

"Yeah I know, 'don't push myself too much'. Okay bye mom." We then headed outside.

We went to the park and played catch. After that we were just messing with each other. It was fun really fun. I haven't played with my brother for a long time now.
I kinda miss him, now he's in college and already practicing being a cardiologist. He said he wanted to help people with heart diseases like me. Well I hope I'm still around when he's graduated.

While we we're playing, I felt a little dizzy. "Wait stop!" I yelled, he was about to throw the ball. "Is something wrong?" He went near me
and asked. "I feel dizzy and I can't breath. Maybe we should take a break."

He looked at me closely and his face looked really concerned. "Eren you're pale." He panicked, he held my hands and checked for my pulse.
"It's slow-" He was cut off, I collapsed. My ear could hear a loud ringing, my eyes were blurry. I'm gonna pass out again aren't I? I thought everything is finally good, well I guess not.

Zeke's Point of view.

"It's slow-" I was cut of as he collapsed. I held his hand and squished it. This is all my fault if only I didn't ask him to play with me.
I checked if he's breathing. He is thank goodness. I carried him on my back and ran as fast as I could.
I called the cab and put him inside.

"Hurry please to the nearest hospital!" I was panicking. This isn't the first time this happened and yet I still get panick attacks. I pulled my phone and dialed dad's number.
After a few rings he picked up.

"Dad I'm bringing Eren at the hospital! He collapsed. He's really pale and his pulse is slow." I explained

"What?! Okay I'll wait for you call Carla if you haven't okay." He said and ended the call. I then dialed mom's number. She immediately picked up.

"Mom Eren fainted. I'm bringing him to the hospital, I'm in a cab. Please hurry. I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked him to play with me." I said, tears then fell from my eye.

"What?! Okay I'm on my way. It's not your fault it's okay. Tell the driver to drive faster okay." She was panicking.

Oh Eren I'm so sorry please forgive me.

"Please hurry up." I told the driver and he nodded. He speed up. Eren was getting more and more pale.
He's breathing also got slower.
Please Eren stay strong.

Once we were there, we were greeted by many doctors. They rushed him into the ER. I stood there, as I wait for mom to come.
Eren I'm sorry, please forgive your big brother.

"Zeke!"

I turned and saw my mother. I started to cry. She ran and hugged me.

"I'm sorry mom."

"It's okay, where's Eren?"
She patted my back.
"In the ER with dad."
She sighed and cupped my cheeks.

"Hey it's okay, Eren will be fine. It's not you fault you just want to spend time with him." She wiped my tears like how a mother would do.
Though she isn't my real mother, she's been there with me since I was a baby, she raised me as her own. I love her so much I'm so happy dad met her.

"I love you mom. SorryI couldn't protect Eren."

"I love you more. Come on." She held my hand and pulled me. She led us to the waiting room and sat at the vacant chairs.

"Zeke don't ever blame yourself okay.
Eren is a strong kid he's been through a lot. Let's hope that his illness will heal." She said as she hugged me.

"Yeah"

After a while the doctors and dad came to see us.

"Eren is now fine, his heart was having a hard time pumping blood, while they were playing. Though he needs to stay here for a few days so we can monitor him. After that he can rest for a day or two and he can go back to school." We both sighed in relief as the doctor explained everything.

"Thank goodness thank you doctor. " My mother said. "Your very welcome his on room 209"

Eren's Point of view.

I opened my eyes and saw a familiar place. I sat up and looked around.
I was in a hospital room. Again.
What happened? Why am I here?
I looked around more looking for anyone. At my right I saw my mother sleeping with her head leaning to my brother who is also sleeping. They must be tired. I'll just ask them when they wake up.

I stared out the window, admiring the view. There were birds freely flying up in the sky. The trees were dancing with the wind. And for a moment I enjoyed listening to the birds sing. In my next life I wanna be free like those birds. I wanna freely fly up in the sky, freely go anywhere. They seem to be such beautiful creatures. I wanna live like them.

"Eren?"

I turned around and saw my mom who just woke up.

"Yeah?"

"You're awake thank goodness. Zeke wake up." My mother shook my brother awake.

"Bro you're awake." He came and hugged me so did mom.
I hugged both of them.

"I'm gonna call the doctors and your father okay?" My mom said and I nodded. She then head out of the room to call the doctors.

"How long was it asleep?" I asked Zeke. "Not too long maybe 14 hours? You passed out at like 4 pm  yesterday and right now it's about
6 am." He said.

"But wait that means today is Monday there's school today. Did you already tell the school I'm not coming today?" I asked.

"Ummm not yet. Let's wait for mom okay?"

I nodded. I might need to tell my friends the truth after this. After a while mom came back with the doctor. They ran some test with me and explained what happened. They also made me wear a heart rate monitor that I can carry anywhere.
At this point I really need to tell my friends.

They said I can be discharged in three days and I would need to rest for two days. I will be missing school for a week.

"Mom have you told my school that I'm gonna be gone for days?" I asked my mother.

"Yes sweetie, the teachers said to take care and take your time to heal."

I guess I won't do anything for days.
Maybe my friends could visit me. Well I hope so.
