Put in Motion

Chapter 15

Mark's POV
When I got to the hospital I had to sit in the waiting room. The doctor came out. "Are you here for Sean?" The doctor asked. "Yes." I said standing up. "He lost a lot of blood and he's in a coma." The doctor said. "I-is he going to be alright?" I asked. "Only time will tell. You can visit him if you'd like. He's in room 107." The doctor said walking away. I felt like there was a heavy weight in my chest. How could things go bad so quickly? Why didn't he just talk to me? I started walking toward room 107. I looked in and saw him. He was connected to some machines, not a whole lot though. I walked in the room and sat down next to him. I held his hand and saw that they had wrapped his arms up. It looks like some blood had bled through the bandage. I started crying. "Jack. Jack. Please wake up Jack. I need you, I can't live without you." I said as I started to sob into his hand. He tried so hard to die. Is he really not that happy? But he can't leave me. I'll die if he dies. I stayed in the room for as long as possible. I didn't sleep I just sat there holding his hand. It was pretty late when the nurse came in. "Umm...sir visiting hours were over long ago. You should go home and get some rest." She said putting a hand on my shoulder. "Please can I stay the night?" I asked. "I'm sorry tonight you cannot and if I'm correct you have school tomorrow right?" She said. "Yeah." I simply replied back. "Goodnight Jack I'll see you tomorrow. I love you." I said as I kissed his hand. I got up and walked out. When I got home my mom was of course waiting for me. I must've left my phone in the car with all the panic. "Where have you been?!" She asked standing up. "At the hospital." I said looking at the ground. "The hospital?! What happened?" She asked rushing over to me to make sure I was okay. "I'm fine, but Jack-" I couldn't say anything more I started to tear up. "Honey, what's wrong. Is Jack okay?" She asked looking at me. "N-no." I said through the sobs. "What happened?" She asked. Her voice was soft and calming. "H-he t-tried to kill himself." I was able to stutter out. My mother wrapped her arms around me and just comforted me for a while. When I calmed down I decided to head to bed. I couldn't sleep though. I was just hoping he would wake up. I need him. I cried myself to sleep that night. I woke up to my alarm then remembered what happened. I didn't want to go to school, but I have too. I didn't have time to stop by the hospital this morning, so I decided I would do it after school. I got dressed in some random clothes I grabbed. It ended up being a pair of gray jeans and a black sweater with black shoes. I kinda brushed my hair out and headed to school. I'm  driving today because I'm to tired to walk. When I got there I grabbed my stuff and walked in. I was greeted by Ethan. "Hey Mark." He said jumping up to me. "Hey." I mumbled. "What's wrong?" He said cocking his head to the side a little. I tried to say something but I couldn't. Tears almost immediately started to form. I just ran. I ran to the back of the school where no one goes. I could hear footsteps behind me when I stopped. "Mark! What's wrong?" Ethan said as he bent over to catch his breath. "J-jack. H-he t-tried to k-kill himself l-last n-night." I was able to say through sobs. I looked up and Ethan was sitting on the ground next to me. "I'm so sorry." He said hugging me as he started crying too. We sat there till the bell rang and we had to get to class. I had math first period but since we just started a new unit I had to pay attention. But it was so hard. All I could think about was Jack. Then the bell rang and I was off to science. Ethan was in that class with me. But I didn't really feel like talking. The teacher took roll and she called Jack's name. "He's not here." I said just loud enough for the teacher to hear. "Alright then. Let's get started." We had to work on a packet but I couldn't focus, so now I have homework. It was lunch and I wasn't that hungry. Actually I wasn't hungry at all. "Are you gonna eat?" Ethan asked walking to the table in the corner that we always ate at. "No." I mumbled. "Me either." He said sitting down. It was awkward. I could tell Ethan wanted to talk and ask questions but he didn't. Which was probably good because I wasn't in the mood. I went through the rest of the day on autopilot. I was rushing out to my car when I heard Ethan call my name. "Yeah?" I asked. "C-can I come with you?" He asked nervously. I didn't want to be rude, but I'm sure he had homework to do and it was Thursday so we had school tomorrow still. "What if you came with me tomorrow since tomorrow is Friday." I said. "Okay good idea." He said walking away. I started driving to the hospital. When I got there I checked in with the lady at the front desk and headed over to go see Jack. I walked in and he was still laying there in a coma. I don't know how much more I can take. He needs to wake up. On my way out of the hospital I ran into the doctor. "Hey, I need to asked you a few questions about Sean." He said. "Okay." I replied back. "Is his mother around or someone?" He asked. I didn't know what to say. "Not really." I said. "Okay. Now what are you to him." He asked. "I'm his boyfriend." I mumbled. "Okay. Well I just want you to know that if Jack doesn't wake up soon we will have to pull the plug on him." He said with sad eyes. "No you can't! How long?!" I asked. "Right now he is just in his coma state. So it just depends on how quick he can wake up." The doctor said. "I'm sorry." Was the last thing he said then walked away. Jack can't leave. I went home and went straight to my room.

*Time skip later a few days*

It was Sunday and he still hasn't woken up. I just got back from visiting him. I got all my homework done yesterday. It's probably wrong but I got it done. I have eaten in 2 days. And if I did I threw it up. I feel numb. Every second he's not awake I die a little more. The doctors keep telling me if he doesn't wake up in a couple weeks they'll pull the plug. And I can't do anything about it. All I wanted was to help him and protect him. I try so hard not to fall into his habits, but I can't take it anymore. I can't sleep at night so I take about 10 sleeping pills. The number gets larger each night it seems like. I'm trying stop but it gets harder each day. Tonight I took about 12 sleeping pills. It's weird I want to die but I don't. I'm getting tired now. I had a dream I was in the hospital and I went to Jack's room. There was a mirror in the room.  I noticed Jack's heart monitor going up and then everything went black I couldn't see anything. But when I turned around I noticed I was still in the room and the mirror was still there. But there was a light over it. I looked in the mirror and saw someone that looked like me but wasn't me. He was wearing a grey suit and his skin was a pale grey. His eyes were black with bags under them. When he spoke his voice was very deep. He said "You better watch him." Then he disappeared and I woke up.
