Don't leave me//E.D

Part 12 - 1 year

Sapphires p.o.v
Today's the last day of summer (she is going into 12th grade and is now 17 and Ethan is turning 18 going into 12th also). I decided to go to the mall with Mia and Rose. I try not to think about E but I can't help it. The nurse said he most likely won't make it because of the time period of the coma but I feel like he will. I have this feeling that won't go away. It makes me have a little hop in my step and smile every so often. I don't know why but today feels like it's going to be good.

"Let's go here" I say pointing to the makeup store.
My phone suddenly starts to ring and I answer it seeing that it's the hospital.
Me - hello?
Hospital - hello is this Sapphire?
Me - Yes... is there an update on Ethan?
Hospital- you may want to get to the hospital now we will tell you then.
The line goes dead and my eyes go wide. What if what they have to tell me involves E not being here. I'm not ready to let him go. I tell Mia and Rose that my "mom" called and said I needed to get home. They didn't really say anything so I left and immediately raced to the hospital.
Ethan's p.o.v
I can see a light...
Sapphires p.o.v
I walk into E's room and see him laying unconscious. My life is crumbling apart piece by piece. I hear the nurse come up behind me and I turn around.
"His parents are here we will send them in and tell you guys the news"
I nod and then back to the bed. I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder and turn around to see his mom. I hug her and start crying once again.
When the nurse walk back in my eyes are puffy but she starts to talk. "I don't know how to tell you guys this but.. considering the amount of time he's been in a coma we need to pull the plug"
"NO!" I cry out
His mom starts crying and his dad rubs her back. Grayson bursts into the room with wide eyes.
"What happened"
"The doctor said we need to pull the plug" I say sobbing
"WHAT NO!" Gray yells
The nurse goes wide eyed and backs out of the room saying, "I will be back in a minute for you guys to discuss"

When she gets back we hadn't discussed anything but his mom and dad stare at me as if saying 'is it okay with you?' I nod but something doesn't feel right. This can be the end.
The doctor walks over and just pulls the plug to the thing connecting him to the world. The monitor goes dead and I cry harder then I have ever before.
His mom, Grayson and dad leave the room saying, "we will leave you alone for a minute"
The doctor leaves also which leaves me with E.
I grab his hand for the last time and say barely autible, "I will miss you so much. And it makes me so mad and angry that we didn't have more time together. I honestly I'm against our future together and I blame myself everyday for this. I can't believe I haven't said this before and I tear myself apart everyday for it. But I love you and I always will I just wish I could have said it to you a different way. You are my world and I can't imagine A life without you" I cry even louder and harder when suddenly I feel I light squeeze.
I whisper fills the room, "baby... I love you too"
"ETHAN?"
"Yea?" He says weakly.
"H-how"
"I don't know I just tried so hard to get back"
"I missed you so much" I cry
"How long have I been out"
"A-a year"
"What?"
"Yes"
