Lena and Jenson arrived at the hospital followed by Nash. Lena went straight to her sister and hugged her tight as she cried on her shoulder. "Sis what happened?."

"We had an amazing night, we spent hours talking and just being together in the best way possible, better than we had ever been before... We only went to sleep for a couple of hours and I woke up and went to the bathroom. I came back and he... he wouldn't wake up." She said and broke down.

"Charisma has the doctors spoken to you yet, have they said what's happening?." Jenson asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing yet, I'm waiting to hear from them. They've been with him for awhile now..."

As she finished speaking, a doctor came out and into the corridor. "Doctor, what's happening how is my son?." Jenson asked.

"I'm afraid he has fallen into a coma

"I'm afraid he has fallen into a coma... whether he wakes is still to be seen... I'm sorry.. this is generally the final stage of this illness..

"Please don't tell me that.." Charisma said feeling physically sick.

"It has come quicker than we expected...

"There is absolutely nothing that can be done for him from here?" Jenson asked.

"I'm sorry, we have exhausted every avenue... Keegan has been here talking about this for a long time, trying to understand it and see if there was any way past it, the aggressive tumour just meant that there was no turning back the clock on this one and he came to terms with it..."

"Can I sit with him... please..

"Of course you can... talk to him.. he is still alive right now.." the doctor said.

Charisma followed him in to the room. Charisma wanted to scream as loud as she could, as her legs were jelly like walking towards him. "Please don't leave me... you can't do this to me.. it's not fair... the way we were last night that was all I wanted... it was all I ever wanted... so you can't leave me now..."
She sat next to him.
"I love you... like, love you so much.. if you stay with me, we will be together... I won't leave you ever again... it was Supposed to be me and you, it was always supposed to be me and you until the end, and this is not the end yet, it can't be..." she wiped her eyes. " Keegan, wake up, please wake up... please for me..."
She climbed on the bed beside him and she hugged into him, wrapping her arms around him, getting herself as close to him as she possibly could.
She rubbed her hand over his chest, and touched his face. She played with his beard. She started to breathe deeply and then her breathing became erratic. She couldn't control it.

Lena opened the door and saw her sister in a heck of a state. She rushed over to her. "Charisma breathe, Charisma calm down.. slow your breathing.." she said to her and helped her calm from the hyperventilating.
"Hey... it's okay... we will get you through this.. your whole family will...

"I'm weak without him... he's always been there... he made me who I am.. but being here with him, compared to being out there on the streets... I feel like that little girl, who's losing everything, so scared... I can't live without him Lena, I don't know how to do that." She started to hyperventilate again.
