My Friends Older Brother (Mirstie)

Will You Come Back?

Kirstie's POV
Mitch still hasn't woken up. Mitch still hasn't opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "I'm back!" It's killing me by every passing second. It's been a week. A week since I've last gotten the chance to talk to him. The doctors have finally decided to give him surgery. I'm scared. I'm scared I'll loose the one person that means the world to me (sorry Scott!)

I decided to visit Mitch one last time in the hospital before his surgery. Both as a potential goodbye... And good luck. My breathing gets heavier as I approach the hospital doors. I wasn't expecting to visit him here. I was expecting to see him fully alive. Instead of half alive. When I walk down the hall towards his room, I hear cries. Cries for help. But sadly I'm not a doctor, or superman. I'm just plain old Kirstie. When I reach Mitch's door I see it's already open and the doctors are getting him ready for surgery.

"Sorry I just- I should go," I said as the doctors faced me. They shook their heads at me and motioned for me to come inside the dull room.

"We'll leave you two for a few minutes," I nodded thankfully to the doctor and sat down next to Mitch's bed. I whispered to him and prayed. When I finished I kissed his head, his cold head. Just when I was about to leave, another girl about my age zoomed in to the room quietly.

"Is he okay?" She asked dumbfounded. I rested my forehead on my hands and shook my head.

"No he's going in for surgery in a few minutes," she turned to face me confused.

"I'm sorry who are you?" She asked sassily. I chuckled and lifted my head.

"Oh I'm just Mitch's step-brothers friend but I'm also Mitch's friend. I'm Kirstie," she smiled and nodded.

"Nice to meet you Kirstie! I'm Clare. I'm Mitch's girlfriend," Mitch's girlfriend... Crap. Of course I couldn't tell her of the multiple times I've kissed him. But who cares? I smiled through it. Thank goodness I just said friend. "I haven't talked to Mitch in months," Clare sighed grabbing a seat next to mine, "he just... Disappeared. I nodded and slouched in my seat. We shared a moment of silence. Most of me wanted Mitch to spring up but I knew deep down that that would never happen.

"well we should leave. I don't want the doctors waiting too long," I said. Clare nodded and got up. She than just walked out and said goodbye to me... But nothing to Mitch. Once I thought she was gone, I got up and kissed Mitch's head. I than headed home.

"Honey there you are!" My mom yelled making me chuckle, "I was worried sick!" I hugged her and smiled.

"Sorry mom, I thought I left you a note." She scoffed and shook her head.

"You're lucky I'm done with this whole grounded thing," I giggled and set down my stuff. I than ate breakfast since I hadn't gotten the chance before, and sat down next to my mom on the couch. Soon I ran up to my room to do homework. I than remember one of the doctors saying something to me.

"He might not make it. If he does I wish you many amazing things in life. If he doesn't... We'll be calling," I than did my homework for about another hour. Once my homework was put away my cell phone rang. I looked at the phone and sat there frozen. The caller I.D read rocky mount. Hospital. I gulped and pressed the call button. Before I had the chance to speak, the voice on the other end spoke.

"I'm sorry miss but he di-" I knew what the message was. I dropped the phone my whole world tumbling around me. My body fell numb as I hit the ground. And I lay there crying silently as my world came crashing down.
