(Alex's pov)
The officer started cuffing Elijah as he stood there in what I'm guessing appears to be shock. Then we heard something, moving.
I look at Elijah's brothers hand, i-its moving??? It's gripping the bedsheets and- it look like he's trying to get our attention.
"Wait..." I whisper
"Hes alive. Look at his hand.."
Everyone stops what they are doing and look at his hand. "But they machine says flatline??" The nurse looks at the plug. "I never plugged it in.." she says as her jaw drops. She bends over and plugs it in.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
He's actually alive. Wow. Elijah instantly pushes the cop off of him and grabs his brother quickly but gently.
"I'm here I'm here I swear to god I'm here Jared I'm here." I didn't know it was you I swear to fucking God I didn't know." He takes a breath from sobbing and speaking in a panic.
The cop grabs him. He drags him out of the room as he yells "LET ME GO ITS MY FUCKIN BROTHER ON THE BRINK OF DEATH LET ME THE FUCK GO YOU YOU-" I stand in the corner useless, unable to think or speak or anything.
I sit on the chair next to the hospital bed where he lies. I grab his hand softly, they are super cold. I look at his face, pale, like his lips. His brown hair, and bandaged head. It seems like the bullet went through the side of his head, not doing much damage to my appeal. Maybe some hearing problems but not much.
"Hey, you don't know me but, I'm your brothers friend, I'm Alex." I look around awkwardly, I didn't even notice the nurse had left the room.
"I'm gonna help you okay? Your brother probably will be in jail or worse maybe. So I'll be here to help you when I'm not in school. I'm probably going to stay in the hospital with you, it is Friday anyways so I don't have school."
It's almost, comforting to talk to him? It's a weird feeling but I feel okay around him, like he won't judge me. I look at his wallet beside him, I grab it and open to see his I.D. He's 20, a year and a half older than me.
I rub his hand softly with my thumb, he does the same in response.
I fall asleep in the chair. But something bad happened.
I woke up
And he was gone.
