A/N: TW: Violence/Abuse, Mentioning Suicide.

*Two weeks later*

5th August 2021 2:30am (Rae POV)

It's been two weeks now. Since it happened. I haven't gotten out of this chair in over 2 days, before that it was a week, the only reason I left before was because I was forced out.

In the past two weeks all of my friends have been in and out, Toast, Corpse, Emma, even Sykkuno's friend Lily. I was the only one who had been by his side for the entire time, and I wasn't leaving. What did everyone say to me when they came to check on him? "Get some rest Rae.", "Go home Rae.", Take a shower Rae." And what did I say back? "Not until he wakes up!" Two. Weeks.

These past two weeks have easily been the worst two weeks in my entire thirty years on this planet. Nothing came close, not by a long shot. Every day I wake up in this chair, and I see him, lying in the bed, his body motionless, thinking he may never wake up again. Every night I go to sleep, the nights that I do get sleep at least, praying to god that the next day would be different. Would be better.

I've never been religious or superstitious or anything like that but when it came to him, I was willing to try anything. And I mean anything, to know he would be okay.

I felt my heart sink to the floor whenever the EKG machine started beeping erratically and then. The flatline. I would erupt into tears whenever I heard it, surprising since I must have shed over a gallon of tears already. The EKG has flatlined twice already. Twice. The doctors told me that nobody in the history of the world has ever flatlined more than two times and survived, you know what that means? The next time it flatlines, that will be the last time.

Because of this not only was I living in sadness over seeing him lying there everyday but I was also terrified that every single time I look at him, it could be the last time. Terrified that the last thing he would ever tell me was that he never loved me. I needed him to wake up so he could say something. Anything. So that those weren't his last words to me, so that I can say goodbye at least.

Not only could he possibly flatline but he's also been in a coma for two whole weeks, even I know that people in comas for longer than three weeks tend to not wake up. Then there's the issue of his life support, the decision to cut him off was left to his family who Sykkuno had told me had disowned him, they would probably have no problem just cutting him off.

Everyone but his sister that is, she came to see him a couple days ago. She seemed different than the rest of his family. She seemed to care. We had actually gotten along very well, though there wasn't exactly much to talk about considering the circumstances. There was one conversation we had that made me appreciate her even more though.

Short Flashback

2nd August 2021 3:45pm

Sykkuno's Sister: "He really is a special guy isn't he?" She asked me with a smile on her face.

Rae: "Yeah... He is." I couldn't help but smile back as I said these words.

Sykkuno's Sister: "You care for my brother. Don't you?" She asked, still smiling.

She sure does smile a lot despite the situation we were in, I like it though, it shows how hopeful she is, as well as what a good person she is.

Rae: "Of course I care. I care a lot. How could I not?" I replied, slightly confused by her question.

Sykkuno's Sister: "No. I mean you love him don't you?"

I opened my mouth ready to blurt out some random lie when I remembered that Sykkuno doesn't like liars. To lie in his presence, to his family, it felt wrong, I couldn't do a lot for him in this state, but I could tell the truth at least.
