Scott's POV
It's been months since she's woken up. She hasn't been breathing on her own..the doctors hooked her up to a breathing tube.
It feels like she was in my embrace for a split second before I lost her...
The Doctor said he'd give me a week before taking her off of the tubes..
Well..it's Thursday now and she still isn't breathing..
Wake up Kirstie..please.

Mitch's POV
Scott hasn't left his house since Kirstie's stopped breathing. Her lungs collapsed and haven't been working properly since.
I've been visiting Scott everyday, making sure that he's eating regularly, showering..basically maintaining a somewhat healthy lifestyle.
Today he seems..depressed. Which doesn't surprise me. He hasn't seen the light of day in months.

"Olaf and I are going for a walk..you coming?" I ask.

"Nope." He responds blandly.

"C'mon Scott.." I sigh, "Your well being is important to me..and..it's important to Kirstie too. If she where here right now, she'd want you to be your jumpy and happy self." I smile while nudging his shoulder.

"How do you expect me to be happy when the one person that makes me my 'jumpy and happy self' is basically already dead?" He questions grimly.

I sit with my lips pressed into a flatline, unsure of what to say.

"Exactly." He whispers through tears.

I let tears stream down my face. I hated to admit it..but Scott was right. Our little princess is almost gone.
I pull Scott into a tight hug. He cries on my shoulder. I choke back my tears. I have to be the strong one..for Scott.
We sit in silence, tears threaten to stream down my face..but I choke them back and turn on the TV to Spongebob to lighten the mood.
I look over at Scott, who's holding Kirstie's engagement ring and examining it carefully.
Scott's phone then begins to ring, causing the coffee table to vibrate.
I watch as he picks it up and swipes right.

"H-Hello?"
"This..is."
Scott then jolts up from his seat with a changed expression on his face.
"Okay!! We'll be right over!!"

Scott then hangs up and looks over at me.

"Kirstie's breathing again!!" Scott exclaims cheerfully.

"Let's go!!" I yell in return.

We skip joyfully to the car and drive away to the hospital.
Once we arrive, we run up to Kirstie's room to see her laying in her bed, looking exhausted.

"You should go in first." I say, looking at Scott.

"Thanks Queen." He smiles.

I then watch as he walks into Kirstie's room, shutting the door behind him.

Scott's POV
I walk into Kirstie's room to see her laying in her hospital bed peacefully with an exhausted-looking smile on her face.
"You look pretty exhausted for someone who's been sleeping for months." I joke.

"Just shut up and kiss me." She smirks.
She grabs my neck, colliding our lips for the first time in what felt like forever.

"Nice to see you, Hoying." She flashes me a warm smile. "Sorry my voice sounds so awful..my lungs kind of collapsed." She giggles.

It was so nice to hear her humble voice again.

"You have no idea how hard it was to go on with my life knowing I might have not of been able to live it with you." I let a few tears fall down my cheeks as I slip the ring back on her finger.

"Well, I'm here now..and I won't ever leave you again." She said in a comforting tone

I slid into the hospital bed next to her and pulled her body close in front of me, wrapping my arms around her torso.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.." I whisper softly in her ear.

I then kiss the top of her head before falling asleep.
