Jesse... when my dad died I swore I’d never let anyone out of my reach ever again. Even if you’re so close to going, so close to being there with Hattie… so close to meeting my dad, don’t go. I beg you. I can’t lose you too.

Dr. Zech says that the swelling isn’t going down and the improvement you should be making, you’re not quite getting there. Sometimes we have to let go, but not yet. It’s not your time to go. You’re not leaving me here.

Your parents have gone off back to the hotel and all I’ve got is your limp hand and dark thoughts circling my mind. I need you to wake up, tell me a joke and then laugh. Damn, you could ever kiss me without permission and I wouldn’t care. I just miss you.

I miss home. I want to be back there with you.

People say they don’t realise what they’ve got until it’s gone. I do. And you’re not going.
