Being Married to Sal

It's her decision

(This part is gonna sound like if I stay.)

My POV

I woke up, but not in my body. Was I a ghost now? Did I die? I looked at the heart monitor and it was still beeping. This is strange. Very strange. I looked to the right of my body and saw Sal holding my hand, looking at me with tears in his eyes. Was is it still the 28th? I looked around and then saw my phone lit up. It still said February 28th. I saw Sal grab my phone and entered the passcode. How the hell does he have my password? Then again it's obvious. I feel like it was something from Lindsay and Sarah. He texted something and then put my phone down. I wanted to grab it, but that would seem stupid.

Then the doctor walked in and Sal stood up. "Well?" His voice cracked. "We did everything we could. She's on her own. It's her decision if she goes or stays. That's why we're saying it's 50/50." It's my choice? I have to choose whether I stay? I mean I have plenty of reasons to stay, but I have reasons to leave. I saw Sal nod and the doctor left. A few tears left Sal's eyes and he held my hand, which I could feel.

"Please stay," he whispered, "Emily needs you, the twins are gonna need you in order to be born, Kerri and Shauna need you. You're friends and family needs you. I need you." I felt a tear slide down my face and I walked over to the other side of my body, so I could stare at Sal. He was right. I needed to stay. He was my other half. He wouldn't be able to live without me. He needed me and I needed him.

I looked at my body and then saw the heart monitor start to slow down. What? No! I didn't choose to leave! Sal must've heard it slow because I saw him hold my hand tighter. I don't even see a white light. I can't die. Not this young. "Please fight harder," Sal cried. It tore my heart apart to hear him cry. I wanted nothing more than to comfort him. I walked to the other side of the bed and put my hand on top of Sal's. He jerked up and I drew my hand back. He knew I was here.
