Marks POV:
"Mr and Mrs. Kyre?" I heard the doctor ask. Everyone in the room looked up at the doctor. And I could see sadness welling in his eyes.
" There is nothing more we can do. He has suffered from irreversible brain damage. You can leave him on life support, but he won't ever recover. Or, you can unplug him and he will go peacefully. I'm so sorry."
Immediately tears started pouring out of my eyes. I'm loosing my best friend. He has helped me so much. Now I'm loosing him.
I saw his parents conversing, but I couldn't hear them. All of my senses have been stripped away. Both his mom and dad were crying and I could tell what the decision they made was.
"I'm sorry. I have to go get some air. I'll be right back. " I said and started to walk out the door.
I walked to the elevator and pressed the button. I heard someone walking swiftly behind me but I didn't care. I just needed to clear my head. My best friend. My mentor was about to die. Even though I only knew him for a few years, he still felt like a brother to me. And now in loosing him. "Mark wait" I heard a soothing female voice say. "I'm sorry. I can't do this" I said and walked into the elevator. She quickly stuck her arm in the door as it was about to close and got in with me. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "It's going to be okay" she whispered.
" I feel so helpless" I said. "I could have done something. I could have talked to him. I could have gotten him a therapist. I could have talked to his parents. And I didn't."
"Mark listen to me." (Y/n) said. "None of this is your fault. He didn't ask for help. He didn't want help. The stress got to him. There is nothing you could have done."
"I could have tried to help him. I could have hung out more. I could have listened better and saw the signs and I didn't." I said and started to cry.
The elevator made it to the first floor and the door opened. (Y/n) and I walked out and went outside and sat on the bench. She wrapped me in a hug and I just cried into her shoulder.
"There is nothing you could have done. You need to listen to me. Mark, I went through the same thing remember?"
"Yeah. Your mom.."
"Yeah. My mom commit suicide when I was 16 because my asshole of a father became a cheating, crack addict and an alcoholic and he beat her and she couldn't handle it. There is nothing anyone could have done to stop it from happening."
"I feel like it's all my fault" I said
"I know. But it's not. You can't tell yourself that it is. It just happened. It was no ones fault" she said lifting my face up. She wiped the tears from my cheeks and kissed me gently. "Come on. Let's go back inside. We need to be support for his parents and Ryan.
Ryan's POV:
I sat with Daniels family and awaited an answer. My best friend. The one I found, is dying. We helped each other out for so long. I feel absolutely terrible. I've started smoking and drinking heavily. Mark, Matt and (Y/n) try to stop me but I don't listen. I can't do this without him. I was lost in my thought when Mr. Kyre patted my leg.
"What? Sorry. I was lost in thought. I just don't know what to do." I said and hung my head.
"I know son" he replied to me. I'm basically extended family to them and I've always looked to Daniels family as my own. "We've decid......." His eyes started to well up with tears. "We've decided that it's best to pull him from life support."
"O-okay" I said and also started to cry.
I just don't know what I am going to do without him.
