Tommy's Peaceful Ending

(Word count: 1115)
"You can come in now, Mr. Schatzki...?" The doctor examined the paper.
"Oh, okay." I got up quickly, I looked back at my friends sitting quietly. "Guys, don't worry. I'm sure he's fine."
"Just shut up, Nick." Shelby mumbled.
I sighed and went into Tommy's room.
Ashlie's POV:
Nick left our sights when the door closed. "Well, now what?"
"Ashlie," Cory started. "Zip it."
"Yea, Ashlie, just shut it." A voice piggybacked.
"Uni?" Shelby looked up. "How-did you..."
"Dawn drove me." Uni pointed to someone entering the building.
"Hey." Dawn waved. "Who died?"
"Um, No one died...yet." Cory repositioned his body. "Tommy's dying- maybe."
"What happened?" Uni sat down.
"First," I started. "Tommy got a huge gash on his arm."
"Wow." Dawn said.
"Then, he tried to hang himself."
"Why?" Uni fiddled with his phone.
"Well, the gash was him being upset. The hanging was from- well, Nick said it was from feeling trapped by a demon...or something like that..."
"Aren't we all?" Shelby said under her breath.
"Shelby, zip it." I reminded her.
Nick's POV:
"Can you just get to the point, please?" I hurried the doctor. "I can't take anymore waiting."
"Fine." He said annoyed, but he did as asked. "The point is, that Tommy is in a coma. His death date is sooner than was expected when he was a kid."
"How much longer does he have?" Tears fell down to my neck.
"A few hours, 4 in fact," then doctor warned. "Not much time in small minds, but, that's quite a while. I will notify you each time an hour has gone by, so, don't worry."
Feel a bit punchy...?
I moved over to Tommy. "Tommy..."
"I'll give you some time alone." He left.
He's not looking so well...
"Tommy, what did you do?" I held his hand to my face. "We could have gotten through it together...we had each other..I could have helped you- you could have lived-we could have lived...Tommy..."
Shelby's POV:
"...So, he only has 3 hours and 57 minutes in counting to live." The doctor continued.
"Why isn't Nick hearing this?" Cory asked.
"He already knows..." the doctor said, confused.
"Don't worry, he's just a little slow." I clarified.
"Hey!" Cory retorted.
"Haha." I giggled.
"Heh." Ashlie chuckled. I blushed a little.
"Anyway, give him a couple more minutes before you go in." The doctor pointed to the door. "I'm sure he's heart broken."
"Oookay.." Uni said, uncomfortably as the doctor walked away.
Nick's POV:
I could hear them outside the door, but that didn't matter. "Tommy, I don't know if you can hear me, but, I'll love you forever, no matter where you are, no matter your matter. Heh. Tommy, if you can, wake up for me, please? It may sound selfish, but, I know you, and I know you're strong." Tears were pouring from my face. "Tommy...I love you..."
"JonJon is here!" Jon slightly yelled.
"SHHHH!" I screamed.
"Contradictor." Jon pointed at me.
"Freak." I retorted.
"How is he?" Cory squeezed into the room.
"Not good." I looked back at Tommy. "Only got a few hours."
"We heard." Shelby said flatly.
The rest poured into the room like water. "We're here, too."
"Uni?" I looked up.
"Yes?" Uni looked around like he didn't know I was talking to him.
I started. "Your-"
Uni cut me off. "Oh, get off it!"
"Get of what?" Me and Ashlie jinxed.
"Yea, what does that mean?" Jon asked.
Uni went silent.
"So...Uni, um-what drove you to...y'know...?" Ashlie stuttered.
"It was this guy.." he began. "He said he went by the name...Duni..? Something like that..."
"Oh..um-wow..." Ashlie went quiet.
2 hours until Tommy dies:
"An hour is up." The doctor bursted in.
"What?" Shelby looked up at him.
"There's two hours left."
"Oh." Shelby continued to twiddle her fingers..
"Hey, Shelbs," Cory stared at Shelby. "Could you stop fiddling with your fingers?"
"1. Why?" Still twiddling.
"It's really weird. You look like you're having a seizure."
"2. I'm not twiddling my fingers, though." More twiddling.
"Yes you are." Cory gestured her to look down.
"Umm...guys?" Shelby looked worried now.
"Yea...?" Jon replied.
"I'm not doing this.."
"Cut it out." Uni demanded.
"I'm seriously not doing this!" Shelby yelled with tears in her eyes.
"I'll get the doctor!" Ashlie ran out of the room.
1 hour until Tommy dies:
Cory's POV:
"One hour left guys." The doctor came in again.
Jon looked at him. "Aren't you supposed to be dealing with Shelby?"
"There are more than one doctor in this hospital, sir." He reminded Jon rudely. "I'm dealing with my patient. And that's Thomas."
"It's Tommy." Uni mumbled loudly.
"Are you his parents? I think not." The doctor left with those words staining the room.
"Wow. What a douche." Dawn said, angrily.
Nick's POV:
"Guys," I began.
"Yeah?" Uni replied.
"0:30 seconds until Tommy's gone."
Everyone was quiet, this was the time to remember all the good times we all had.
Nothing will be the same without Tommy, will it? Aww, boohoo, Nick, are you gonna cry? It's death what do you expect. Tommy's body was weak, a worthless life that needed to be taken out.
0:26 seconds.
No, Tommy was person just like me..he had worth.
What kind of worth could he ever had brought?
He had worth to me.
0:14 seconds.
That's not worth. That's want. And such a selfish want, too. He was worth nothing.
0:09 seconds.
It's been two days, Nick, and he's still not worth a thing. Give it up Nick, that whole 'I love you' WHAT A JOKE! You had me cracking up every time.
"I DID LOVE HIM!" I screamed. I never did get a response. Just awkward silence and weird looks.
0:02 seconds.
Time's up, Nick...
0:00 seconds.
"No..." I whispered, looking at Tommy.
^BBEBEBEREEEEEEPPPPP^ the machine bar went flat.
"TOMMY!" Everyone but me was screaming their lungs out.
The nurse pushed against screaming and crying people, but, she finally got all of us out of the room. "Stay out here! We will deal with it."
10:00 minutes later:
"Mr. Schatzki? Come in." The nurse moved to the side as I entered.
"We'll give you two some privacy." The doctor and nurse started to leave the room.
"Wait- is he gone?" I asked before they fully left.
"Yes." The doctor left.
I wasn't crying, due to the fact that I cried away all my tears. I knelt next to Tommy, and held his hand. "Tommy...what the heck did you do...what the heck did you do..."
