Still Breathing

Alone at last we can sin and fight.
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light,

The room stood as still as an old tree in the blazing summer heat. Elena's heart was not slowing down, it was at a perfect pace.

Stay right here we can change our plight.
Storming through this despite what's right.

She lay perfectly innocent on the white hospital bed. The doctor had a shocked expression on his face. He obviously didn't expect this to happen.

She was still breathing.

One final fight for this tonight.

Whoa-oh-oh

With knives and pens we made our plight.

My heart dropped when I saw Jesy holding back a sob. She was probably feeling so many emotions.

The situation was also scarring her to death. The others were all wearing a shocked expression, except Perrie.

She was smiling, she thought that Elena was breathing for a reason. She obviously didn't give two shits about what the doctor had said. She knew Elena would be alive somehow.

Lay your heart down, the end's in sight.

Conscience begs for you to do what's right.

Everyday it's still the same dull knife,

Stab right through and justify your pride!

"Well, it appears that Elena here is a little fighter. I'm gonna take another brain scan. Her pulse looks perfectly fine, and she's breathing on her own, which I did not expect. Nevertheless I didn't expect any of this." The doctor finally said something.

One final fight for this tonight.

Whoa-oh-oh

With knives and pens we made our plight.

Whoa-oh-oh

They all nodded. Then slowly approached her bedside.

"Listen baby," Jesy started, gulping heavily, "You don't have to hold on if you're in pain. We love you, a lot. And we just want what's best for you. So, if you need to let go, then go. We will heal." She kissed her on the forehead and said, "I love you, so very much."

Well I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on.

We tried our best. Turn out the light. Turn out the light!

They all sat around her and cooed to her how much they care and love her. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. They were also telling her if she wanted to let go, then go.

This is because they loved her enough to let her go.

The doctor soon came back with the results of her brain scan.

"Well it turns out, she hasn't gone down in activity so far, all day. So, with that being said, we are going to put some medicine into her bloodstream. It's practically brain food. It only works on patients that can breath on their own."

He then grabbed a needle from the small cart that he brought in with him. He put on gloves and then removed the needle from the back of her hand.

I cringed. I hate needles and watching it come out from the back the someones hand is just disgusting. (A/N/ This is me. )

He then took a small damp towelette and gently rubbed it where he would be inserting the arrow.

Finally, he gave her the shot and redid the routine to put the other needle back in.

"Now, we've never seen this result at our own hospital. We have professionals that know what they are doing in this field and will be working with you all more often. We do know that there is now a possibility that she wakes up. Just don't get your hopes up." He said holding his left hand up. The other was holding the file.

We nodded and he left the room.

We spent 3 hours after the pulling of the plug. There was no sign of her waking up yet. One of the doctors told Leigh when she went to speak to them that it could be another 3 months.

They were already scarred, devastated, and confused. They were also worried about getting their hopes up.

The day was very rough, but we finally went home. I was beyond exhausted. I wanted to go to sleep so that I could be ready for tomorrow. Only because I figured we would spend the day there.

After showering and doing my normal bedtime routine, I cuddled up to Jesy in her bed.

Death is not the greatest lose in life. The greatest lose is what dies inside us while we live.

I'm sorry it's a little short.
