Since youve been gone

Chapter 11

ALEXIS P.O.V

I stayed there all night with Mrs. Marks. We took turns comforting each other while we were crying. Neither of us wanted to leave. We both vowed that we would be here when Tristan woke up. Which should be within the next few hours but we still don't know for sure.

The doctor came in right after the guys left and he told us exactly what was going on with Tristan.

They were not able to get everything out of his system. Which means he will wake up and be able to go home for a few days. But because they couldn't get everything out all of his organs were slowly shutting down. Basically he was slowly dying and he would only be alive for 4 or 5 more days. He's going to be in a lot of pain and won't really be able to eat anything that has to be chewed because he's not strong enough.

I told Mrs. Marks I wouldn't be leaving her house ever again. She didn't even look up at me.

Now I'm sitting in the hospital bed next to a sleeping Tristan and his mom is sitting in a chair that one of the nurses brought in. My mother left after we talked to the doctor. She went back to Tristan's house to help clean it up a little bit. We were going to try to make his last few days as easy as possible for him.

Finally the sun came up and my mom brought us McDonald's. The three of us were finishing our food and watching some random game show when Tristan started to wake up.

I noticed it first because I was laying with him in the bed. It actually scared me even though I had been waiting for it. All he did was squeeze the hand that I was holding on to. I jumped a little bit which made everyone look at us. His mom screamed and started crying. I hugged him while bawling my eyes out and my mom almost fainted.

We checked him out about 2 hours later, the car drive home was silent. I figured I would try to talk to him once we got a moment to ourselves.
