Happily Ever After?- Diza

Chapter 33: A Few Hours

Kaitlyn's P.O.V

DY-"He... only has a few hours left to... live."

No. No he can't. He can't only have a few hours left.

Tears fell from my eyes and sobs escaped my mouth. I looked at the doctor, not wanting to believe him.

KT-"No! I promised he would be okay! I promised him!"

I cried more and more as I gripped onto Kayden's shirt, sobbing into it. I heard my mom crying and my dad crying. I felt tears drop onto my head, with me knowing it was Kayden crying. I heard a sob near me, but it wasn't Kayden. It was Liam. Liam was crying as he was gripping onto his hair and had tears streaming down his cheeks.

Pain was filling my chest, making it heavy and harder to breathe. I squeezed my eyes shut as I leaned against Kayden's chest.

Liza's P.O.V

Nine. Nine years old and that's all he gets to live.

I cried into David's chest as we had our arms wrapped around each other. Both having tears stream down our cheeks.

It isn't fair. It isn't fair. It isn't fair.

I scream the same sentence over and over in my head to myself. It won't change anything, but I don't stop.

I could hear Kaitlyn and Kayden crying as well, but I also I heard Liam crying. I never knew how close Liam was to Nathan. I knew they would talk and make jokes about the twins a lot, but I didn't know they were so close.

I finally look up at David's tear stained face. He looked down at me after a minute and nodded, knowing what I was wanting to do.

I pulled away and grabbed David's hand. I looked over at the kids, while giving Kayden a sad look, and turned down the hallway. I heard footsteps behind me and knew who they belonged to. I saw room 412 with the door cracked and walked in. I squeezed David's hand, with him squeezing right back.

Nathan was lying on the bed with a bandage around his head. His eyes were peacefully closed and his breathing was light. He was so peaceful looking.

I walked over with David and sat at the end of the bed while he was standing. Kayden was holding Kaitlyn's hand as they walked in. Liam was standing next to Kayden with puffy eyes. We were all in the room, waiting for Nathan to wake up so we have time with him.

An hour passed and Nathan started to slowly stir. He fluttered open his eyes and looked around. He looked confused at first then his eyes focused on David and I.

N-"W-What happened?"

I gave him a sad smile.

L-"You got out of surgery a while ago and fell asleep."

Nathan nodded his head in response and looked around once more before his eyes landed on Kaitlyn.

N-"Did they fix me?"

Kaitlyn took a deep breath and let it go as she walked over with Kayden to the side of the bed.

KT-"Y-Yeah, they got rid of it."

Kaitlyn had tears well up in her eyes as she looked at Nathan.

N-"You're not telling me something."

Kaitlyn went silent after that. Nathan turned back to me with sadness in his eyes.

N-"What is it?"

I grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes. A tear fell down my cheek as I looked at him.

L-"The doctor said that you only have... a few hours, l-left to l-live."

I choked on my tears as I looked at his drained of light face. His breathing started to become uneasy and tears started to stream down his face. Nathan closed his eyes shut and started to squirm around. I jumped up from the bed then placed my hands on his shoulder to calm him down. That didn't do anything. I was freaking out like everyone was.

L-"David get a doctor! Now!"

I cried out and David ran out of the room. Not even a minute later, David and Doctor Young came running back in. Doctor Young went over to Nathan as I stood back with Kaitlyn, Kayden, Liam, and David.

I heard the doctor curse under his breath and he pressed a button. Half a minute later, nurses ran in. They started saying different terms and the things they need to do.

KT-"What's happening?"

Kaitlyn cried out at everyone. A nurse turned around with a sad look.

(NT= Nurse Taylor)

NT-"His is going into cardiac arrest."

She turned back around, continuing with what she was doing and it felt like my world stopped.

I heard them yell 'clear' several times as the sound around me started to drain out. I couldn't hear anything, but I could see it all. They were trying to save Nathan's life before the few hours were up.

Thinking about him only having a few hours made me check my watch I brought with me.

The few hours were over. I heard a heart monitor flat line and I collapsed on the floor.

Crying into my hands while they kept trying. Yelling 'clear' every two minutes.

My castle was falling apart.

My life was falling apart.

My life whole world was falling apart with Nathan on that bed, becoming pale as the doctor and nurses wouldn't give up.
