My Friends Older Brother (Mirstie)

Where am I?

Mitch's POV
I woke up to hear crying. Kirstie sat next to my bed sobbing her eyes out.

"Kirstie I'm okay!" I tried to say, but she never looked at me. I got up and when I walked out of the room I saw my own body. I looked pale and... Dead. Shit shit shit shit shit. I couldn't be dead... Could I? What happened? Where am I? So many unanswered questions rolled through my head. And more importantly... How could Kirstie not hear me. I sighed and sat next to her but when I touched her I just went through her. Damn it. I than decided to explore. My mind was unsure of what will happen. But my heart was set on it... Speaking of that... I checked for a pulse, nothing.

I sighed and walked out of the door. When I got outside I started slowly walking, only to see many other aspirations. Man this hospital sucks. When I made eye contact with a few, we just stared at each other sadly. We have both hurt people that we would do anything for. When I reached the waiting room I saw her. Clare. I hadn't spoke to her in months and I'm glad about that. I than saw her get up. I decided to follow her into my room. She than sat down next to Kirstie, but she didn't even release one tear.

"I'm so sorry kristy," she said a little too sympathetic. I rolled my eyes as Kirstie hugged her tightly.

"It's Kirstie. And it's okay. It wasn't anyone's fault. It was probably just some murderer," I cringed at the word. They than both looked at me. Kirstie finally asked a question I was dying to know. "Clare, do you really love Mitch?" her eyes widened in surprise of the question.

"Of course I am! I'm just a little mad because he hasn't spoken to me in months," Kirstie nodded her head, leaned back in her chair and sighed.

"I'm sorry. It's just you haven't even had one tear come out your eyes since you walked in here," yeah she even looked perfect, "you even look perfect." I sighed at how Kirstie and my minds are literally the same. And how I won't get to experience that alive again. When they finally went silent again I decided to look at my body. I wanted to look at my wound. I watched as Clare got up without even looking at me, and got out of the room. Kirstie stared at my body still. Minutes later she gets up and kisses my lips sadly. So that's who's been kissing me during the time I was in my coma. She than let out a tiny sob, and laid next to me snuggling close. Soon she fell asleep and I began to cry. I don't want this anymore. I don't want to look at my loved ones especially if their crying because of me. About an hour later Kirstie finally gets up, kisses my head and leaves. When she reaches the doorway she whispers to me.

"I love you Mitch," I broke down again. I love you too Kirstie. Soon one of the nurses comes in and takes a look at my body. Soon another one walks in and does the same.

"He almost made it. If only he knew of the girl who keeps visiting him," but I do know. The two nurses sat down and talked.

"They said the funeral is next week," I cringed at the word, "they said to make sure he looks the same he did before the incident." The other nurse nodded.

"He is very cute. It's a shame that that girl isn't his girlfriend," yeah but if I were alive she would be.

"They would make a good couple wouldn't they," I smiled thinking about my first kiss with Kirstie.
Flashback
I remember us leaving the theatre after we won the duet competition. She hugged me and said, "you were amazing!" I remember feeling surprised before lamely saying something.

"Really? No ones ever told me that about my singing," she giggled. I remember feeling a little tingly in my stomach.

"Well I think you're amazing," that was enough for me to kiss her right than and there. And it was perfect. I couldn't ask for anything better.
Flashback end
I sighed as the nurses got up. Than I noticed something. I still have a heart monitor and every plugged into my body. I can still hear my breathing. Am I maybe brain dead? It was it highly likely but I didn't want it to be true. I than took a look at the cords and knew exactly what to do. My mom taught me this because she was a nurse. What a coincidence.

"Being brain dead may be impossible," she once said, "but if you believe or really think about it. The impossible may be possible. Just try harder." I than started playing around with the cords, doing exactly what she told me. Finally I looked at my heart monitor only to find a beat again. Soon the two nurses ran into the room and looked at the heart monitor in shock.

"How did that happen?" one of them asked, "It's impossible!" I laughed. Nothing is impossible. I than started feeling woozy and soon everything went black. Why does this keep happening? Soon I woke up to bright lights flashing in my face. I was the only one in the room aside from the nurses.

"Mitch? How?" they both asked. I laughed weakly and shrugged.

"Ever heard of miracles?" They both smiled. I than looked around.

"Did you remove the bullet?" they both nodded.

"We called everyone and their all on their way. Especially your friend. She was static and a little unsure, but she's on her way over," I smiled as I thought of Kirstie. We than talked about medication I'd need to take in order to get 'normal' again. Soon I saw her. She ran to my bed crying happily and I kissed her with the most emotion I've ever felt. We than hugged and I felt happy again. Than Clare came in.

"Hi Mitch," she said sassily. I smiled expecting a kiss... But nothing. Nothing at all. "Everyone, can I have a moment with Mitch please?" Clare said looking around the room. Everyone got up and left.

"Clare this isn't working out," I decided to start the conversation. She looked at me shocked.

"What do you mean?" I scoffed at her tone of voice.

"I mean that we haven't spoke to each other in months and that I want to break up. Plus you don't even kiss me when you see me, you don't act excited. Like who does that?" she scoffed and got up.

"Fine! But you'll regret it," I now scoffed. She than left and Kirstie ran in.

"Hey what happened?" she asked eagerly. I laughed and took her hand.

"Well you see I've fallen for this other girl and my relationship with Clare wasn't exactly working out so I broke up with her. So Kirstie I was wondering if you'd maybe like to go on a date with me sometime," Kirstie giggled and blushed.

"I would love to!" she than kissed me again and we kissed for at least ten minutes. Soon my mom ran in and hugged me.

"Mitch! I'm so sorry!" I smiled and hugged her back tightly.

"It's okay mom, there was nothing you could do about it," she smiled and handed me some clothes. "Get changed and meet me outside okay? Kirstie and I will be waiting," I smiled and closed my door. I than got changed and headed out the door to only find Kirstie.

"C'mon! Your mom is waiting in the car," I than interlocked her hand with mine and we made our way to the car.
