TORN//Derek Luh

Chapter 15

-Derek's POV-

"I love her Skate. I'm madly in love with her, and I know there wasn't another Derek. She was talking about me but she was covering her ass so that Lele didn't freak out." I say to Skate. 

"Well if you two love each other so much then why don't you go for it bro? You might actually find that it's all going to be worth it in the end." He suggests. 

"I can't hurt Lele like that." I say. 

"Then stop being a bitch Derek. Clearly this is how she has to get our attention. She must really feel like we aren't paying attention to her anymore. She clearly feels as if we are slipping away, because we are pursuing our dreams and she is stuck."

"Why didn't we see the signs? We were too stuck in our music to notice." I say. 

"Like you said in the car she will be okay." He says. By this time everyone decided to show up to be there for us. 

We have been here for about 4 hours now and have heard nothing. 

"Mr. Luh, Mr. Maloley. We had to do alot of testing. Your friend is currently in a coma. We don't know if she will come out of it, not this time. It seems she has some health complications recently." The Doctor says. 

From there I just lose it. "Please Doc keep trying. We can't lose her. Not yet." I cry out. 

Skate begins to cry just like the rest of us. 

"Doc what kind of health problems? Can she die?" Ana asks. 

"She's Anemic. Meaning she is low on Iron. She can't die from it but it can still be really dangerous. I give it 2 months. If she isn't awake by then we have to announce her death. She cut very deep and lost a lot of blood but we gave her a blood transfusion so there's a possibility that she will wake up, the best advice I can give you is talk to her. If she wakes up let us know immediately and we will give her some iron pills." He says walking away. 

-A Month Later-

Well everyday for the past month we have been with Nivea in the hospital. We all talk to her hoping and praying that she will come out of this. 

"Hey baby are you ready?" I ask Lele. She nods. Everyone meets at the hospital everyday. We walk into Nivea's room with flowers. The girls change out her flowers every week. 

All of us take our usual spots around her bed and talk with her. It's been hard without her around. The girls miss her alot. Nivea has always been our rock, our concrete foundation. 

If she dies we will all die with her. A piece of us will go with her, but I want to think positive. 

-Nivea's POV-

"Nivea Leann Williams what the fuck have you done?" My dad says. 

"Dad?" I ask. 

"Kid what are you doing here? You should be with your friends!" He scolds me. 

"I wanted to be with you and mom." I say. 

"Well it isn't your time yet." My mom says.

"Mom I can't handle everything I am dealing with. All of this stress. The weight of the world. I hate not having you with me. I am the reason you died and I can't live with it any longer." I cry. 

"You didn't do it. You need to stop blaming yourself because you know damn good and well young lady that you didn't kill us. You need to get a grip child, and live your life. You're not supposed to be here. So you need to wake up." My mom sternly says. 

"I can't mom." I say. Soon the environment changes to the hospital room I am in. 

"They can't see or hear you but you need to hear them out."

"Nivea I wish you could wake up. I love you so much you are my best friend. You're the most important person in this group. You may not see it but you're our rock. You're the concrete foundation that holds all of us together. If we lose you now then all of us die with you. Please wake up, please. For us. We need you here." Stassie says. Everyone is crying. 

"Please lil mama. You're the best thing that has ever happened to us. If it weren't for you Ana and Skate wouldn't be together, if it weren't for you Derek and I wouldn't have been together. You bring so much purpose to this world of ours come back to us. You have so much life to live love." Lele says. 

Tears are running down my face now. "I never realized how much I meant to them." I say to my parents. 

"Now you do. You know what you need to do. We love you but we will see you when it's your time." My mom says. They both hug me. The environment changes again and we are on a cliff. 

"Goodbye sweetie." My parents say in sync. Soon I am falling off the cliff. 

I land on the ground. 

-Derek's POV-

"GUUUUUHHHHH!" We hear a sound coming from Nivea. She sits up breathing heavily. She is clutching her chest trying to get her breathing right. Our eyes widen in shock. 

"Nivea."
