Last Chapter ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀One month later ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's not a good feeling to walk though the hallways of a hospital. You smell medicines, detergent, sickness and... death. It's true; you smell death when you walk through those depressing, white halls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It gives you a cold feeling while you walk through those halls, and that's the exact same feeling that Nick has as he walked through them. It was incredibly empty in the hospital, he could even hear the echo of his own footsteps as he walked towards room 275B. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He carefully opened the big, white door and a lump formed in his throat as he saw his former best friend laying with his eyes closed, his hair covered in a bandage and all kind of machines attached to his body. His skin looked so pale, and it looks like he has lost weight since the last time he saw him; the night of the accident. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's been a month now since the terrible accident happened. And Ricky has been laying a coma ever since. The doctors said that there's not a big chance of Ricky waking up... Ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it's the first time Nick comes to the hospital to visit him. For some kind of reason; he couldn't come. Because Nick felt guilty about it. He even didn't talk to his sister about it. He tried- but he couldn't. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If he just let Ricky into his house, and if they just had talked; Ricky would not have been so angry and he would not have been driving that fast. He wouldn't be on there, on that specific time. And he would be playing one of the most important football games out of the season in three days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But now he's been laying in this bed for a month in a coma. And for the first time, Nick came. His eyes roamed over all the machines, the drip, and all the get-well-soon cards on the table next to him. "Hey man," Nick said, clearing his throat, "it's uh- me... It's Nick." He said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He stared at Ricky, hoping for a response, but he didn't get any. "I'm sorry it took so long for me to come and visit... But you know-" he said, taking a pause because he didn't find the right words, "I'm sorry..." he managed to say. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The door of the room got opened and Chloe walked inside, and from the moment she saw her big brother, her eyes widened. "Nick..." Chloe said, avoiding any kind of eye contact with him. "Chloe..." Nick whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe tried to hold back her tears, but her brother walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her as tight as never before. "Where have you been, Nick?" Chloe cried, burying her head in his chest, "I needed you... So, so much" she cried. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I know," Nick said, and holding back his tears was too hard now, "I'm so sorry," he whispered, "it's all my fault. I'm so sorry Chlo" Nick said. Chloe pushed him off of her a little bit and shook her head, "don't say that," she said. It broke her heart to see her brother cry. She never sees him crying. Normally he's always the strong one, normally he's the one who's telling her it's going to be okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"It is, Chloe!" Nick said, raising his voice, "if I wasn't being so stupid. If I just listened to you guys one second, and accepted the fact that you two are a couple, then none of this would've happened. It's my fault that he's in a coma," Nick said, pointing at Ricky, "it's my fault that he hasn't woken up yet." He said, his cheeks turning red, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"It's my fault if he dies..." Nick said, walking up to Ricky and staring at him, "what am I supposed to do if he dies, Chloe?" He asked, "he was my best friend," He said, "I won't be able to live with the thought that I killed my best friend." Nick said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe sobbed and walked over to her brother, hugging him again. "It's not your fault Nick..." Chloe said, closing her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Chloe..." Nick said, closing his eyes as well. "I'm so sorry for everything. I love you" He said. "I know..." Chloe said, "I love you too." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A deep breath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A sigh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And two emerald eyes which opened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀| THE END | ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
