Chapter 34

It was early in the morning, eight. I was up and ready, clothed and eaten.

"I'm back. As you all know I took a very very long break well sixteen years to be exact but it was worth it. You guys might have known that I had Hartley she is sixteen now. I also was pregnant with my second child, Aida. She didn't make it...um.she was a still born. There wasn't anything I could have done. That's why I quit YouTube. I needed time to grieve. I had lost my daughter. A year after Chester started to beat me. Me and Chester are no longer together. We both thought it was for the best. I left him the day after I had Everley. My third daughter. I also have some more news. I think the whole fandom will love us forever, but Hartbig is real. Now for some serious stuff. If you have read the newspaper then you should know that Mamrie, Eve and I were all in a car crash. Me and Eve came out fine. However Mamrie, she was put in a coma. At first the nurses said that is Mamrie does wake up she will have brain damage but the nurses told us three weeks ago that Mamrie only has a month to live. So even though this is only my first video back I'm going to be taking my a few weeks off to spend some time with Mamrie but I just wanted to make an video to explain everything and tell you I am back. I don't know." I say, ranting on a bit. I turn off my camera and plug it in to my computer ready to edit it. Hannah leans over my shoulder as I edit it. When it gets to the point that I am explaining about Mamrie I feel tears falling out of my eyes. I don't stop them but let them fall. Hannah kisses my cheek as tear spill from her eyes as well. I finish editing and upload it to Youtube. As the video uploads, I go and pick up Hartley and Eve.

"You want to go and see auntie Mamrie?" I ask Hannah,Hart and Eve in the car.

"Ok. I'm sure she will be excited." Hartley says, as Eve gurgles to say yes as well.
I let the video publish once it is done and force myself to go to the hospital. I park the car in a child parking space, while I get Eve ready Hannah gets the ticket. She returns just as Eve is strapped in the car seat and put the car seat into the pushchair. We all walk into the room and see Mamrie up and sitting up. She is still awake and active. However she isn't quite the same. She doesn't talk just mumbles and points to what she wants. She is brain dead. A few tears escape my eyes and fall onto the bed.

For the first time ever she mumbles and points to my eyes, she probably noticed that I was crying. The first time I saw her mumble and point hits me. My breathing becomes fast and my tear become more persistent.

"Hart take Eve for a sec." Hannah says, giving Eve to Hart from her hip. Hannah then grabs my arms and drives me out of the room.

"I was gonna be strong. I can't do it Hannah. It's so much guilt, I put  her in that hospital bed. I made her like that. She can't talk or do anything. It's my fault." I sob, as Hannah puts me on a seat.

"Grace Anne Helbig. You couldn't have prevented this. You couldn't have none that you were going to have a seizure. You have had an epileptic seizure in ages, years even. So how the hell were you to know. Now you go in there and you see your best friend. She needs you now more than ever. You only have a few more days with her, so don't even think about leaving without talking to her." Hannah says, setting me straight.

"Ok, lets go." I sigh, win away the tears and blowing my nose. I walk Into the room to see Mamrie holding Eve and cuddling into Hartley.

"Hey Mames, you ok? I've missed you." I say, kissing her forehead and taking Eve off her. She nods her head and points to her drink. I pick it up and let her get a few sips.

"Hey mames. How would you like to go to the beach?" I ask, making plans to go the beach today as we only really have a few days left.

She forces her head to nod, so Hannah goes off to ask a nurse if we could take her out for the day.

"She said it was fine but we can't over do it. Just to the beach. She is going to come over and help us" Hannah explains, starting to help Mamrie out of the bed.

I help her and we sit her up. I get her coat on while Hannah puts her socks and shoes on.  I put her hat on and the scarf around her head.
The nurse comes round and checks her out and puts the drop bag she is attached to, to the wheelchair. She also attaches the bag that her urine goes in to the wheelchair as well. I quickly get Eve ready while Hart, Hannah and the nurse get Mamrie into the wheelchair.

"You ready?" Hannah asks.

"Yeah, lets go." I exclaim, as I carry Eve's car seat while Hannah pushes Mamrie's wheelchair.

"Look after her." The nurse says.

"On my life." Hartley exclaims.

As soon as we get outside Mamrie's frown turned upside down. I don't think I have ever seen her so happy. But soon enough she was shivering. I quickly put my jacket over her and then we make our way to the car. I quickly get Eve in the car seat while Hannah and Hart get Mamrie into the front. Once they were done Hart and Hannah they both went to the back of the car. I got in the drivers seat ready to drive to the beach.
