Fearless Beings

Chapter 13

Okay. I'm so sorry for the late update. You know I am. But this chapter would be an emotional wreck. Maybe because these are my characters, that's why I cried. I don't know. But I hate hurting my characters. I'd rather not do it, but life has taught me that not everything is easy. So deal with it. I'm not even sure you'll cry.

Tom's POV
~~~~~~~~~~
I stare at my brother whom has long since curled on the hospital's floor, choking on his own sobs, his eyes red from the amount of water that has escaped them, and his nose running. I can't move a bone in my body since they announced it. Karen is somewhere with Dad. And I'm left with James. That's not alright, I need to do something to him. But I can't. I'm incapable of soothing the pain out of him. His eyes go upwards to meet mine, begging him to tell him otherwise. Begging him to tell him that it's not true, that the doctors has mistaken Hannah for someone else. But I can't.

A sob finds its way through my throat.

"Her body is too weak."

This just isn't supposed to happen. I knew this day will come, I was just hoping it'll delay a bit more. I can't afford losing her. Not after Mum.

"It's better if we leave her be. We have done everything we could."

I'm ready to die for her. My mum used to tell me to have faith. I had faith before she died that she'll make it out of the accident. But no. She died.  Now, I'm praying for God not to leave me here, without the only figure of a sister I might have. I do have faith. I never lost it. Not even after my mum was pronounced dead, just like many of the others on that trip.

"We're sorry."

The moment the words left his mouth, James stared at him for a beat before breaking into an ear-shattering scream. Karen fell on her knees and Dad took her outside. And I ... I'm here left alone, not knowing wether I should go after my parents or soothe my brother or barge into Hannah's room, demanding to reconnect the wires to her body that supply her with whatever fluid she used to take before they decided she's a useless case. They said she's hopeless. They said it all.

Okay, deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath...
I am so sorry for writing this chapter. I promise the other chapters wouldn't be like this one, though. Not all of them at least...

Today, I, Leen Hisham,  am going to declare the fact that there'd be another chapter(s) updated today. And I'm not going to do the R.Q thing anymore. I feel like it's useless, but anyways, I really don't feel like doing it anymore.

Until next time.

-Leen.
