Chapter twenty six

||Mercy's POV||

Death.
Death is the termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide, starvation, dehydration, and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury.[1] Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. Death has commonly been considered a sad or unpleasant occasion, due to the termination of social and familial bonds with the deceased or affection for the being that has died. Other concerns include fear of death, necrophobia, anxiety, sorrow, grief, emotional pain, depression, sympathy, compassion, solitude, or saudade.

I'm not ready for Stevie to die.
Please don't let Stevie die I don't believe in God. But if there is one. Please God don't let her die. I get up and look around the room. Ally and Lauren are asleep and Stevie is resting as well. I walk over to her and grab her hand

"Please live" I whisper
"I love you and your mum mercy" Stevie croaks out
"Don't talk. Don't waste your energy on us" I tell her
"But I want to I love you guy-"

The monitor starts beeping and she passed out Nurses are running in from all over

"Get out of the way kid" one nurse pushes me aside

"No" I whisper
"Please"

I look at Stevie and break Please god no. Fuck.

"We need the doctor!" One nurse yells

I get shoved out of the room.

"Let me see her!" I yell banging on the door
"It's not fair!" I scream.
"Don't let her die!" I scream at them

"Don't let her die" I go as quiet as a whisper
"Please"

The tears are falling like crazy.

Where's Lauren when I need her?

*****

Stevie was pronounced dead at 2:30 am this morning

How could the world fucking do this to me? And ally. No

"No!" I scream
"No"

I punch a wall. My knuckles are bleeding bad. Why me?

"Mercy wake up!" Lauren yells to me
"Wh-what?" I look around and back up into another chair

My breathing is fast and my heart beat is sky rocketing

"Mercy" Lauren says making me look at her
"Baby" she says looking into my eyes
"It was just a nightmare" she says

I look over and see Stevie. She's still alive?

"Sh-She's still alive?" I ask pointing to Stevie

Laurens face looks confused then realizes what I'm talking about.

"Yes, she is. And she will make it" she says
"She will"
"How are you so sure?" I ask not stuttering for once
"Because you just have to have hope. If the hope leaves, you won't be able to believe in anything. And your life will be dull." She tells me
"B-but"
"But nothing. You have to live here and now and not worry about the future so much babe. Just hope for me. For Stevie, for ally. You can do it" she says
"I have h-hope" I say
"Hope about what?" She asks
"That Stevie will survive" i say
"There you go babe. Just have to have hope and the world could be so much better if people just had hope" she says

I nod my head and cuddle closer to her

"When do you want to go back to my place?" She asks
"When I know for sure that Stevie will survive" I say

She looks at me and kisses my cheek

"Then I guess I'm staying too" she smiles at me

I smile back.

"Thank you" I say
"Don't thank me. It's my job to help you and be there for you. Not just cause it's my job but because I want too. I love you" she says
"I love you too"

She smiles at me and blush is creeping on both of our cheeks. She loves me. I love her.

"Get it baby girl" ally says
I look up and I'm blushing a lot right now

"Mum" I say rolling my eyes
"Hi I'm Doctor mizarro, it seems everything is looking great with Stevie. Just slow progress. But she is surely doing great" he smiles

I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding

"Thank you" ally says

He nods and walks out.

"See. Hope" Lauren smiles at me and ally
"Hope does the job" ally smiles at both of us

"Did you talk to her bout hope too?" I smile
"Maybe" she smiles at me

I kiss her cheek

"You're amazing" I whisper so only she could hear.

She smiles and rolls her eyes

"It's true" I say
"Yeah. Well you're pretty amazing too" She smiles

I roll my eyes as well Which causes a giggle from her I love her giggle. I love her and then I kiss her cheek

"Ally can I go back to laurens with her?" I ask
"Yes you can" she smiles
"Thank you. I love you so much" I hug her carefully

We walk out to the car hand and hand. This is great Stevie is gonna live. She is gonna live and this is just great.
