Battle Scars (magcon)

Chapter 11

"Em!" "Emily! Emma!" I yell as I chase after the girl who happens to be dating one of my late friends. As I catch up to her she turns around. "How long has he been gone? How long have I not known about Carter dying?! I'm such a bad girlfriend. Nash, please don't talk to me. I feel bad enough, and I bet you haven't even told the rest of the boys." She yells at me. Her eyes are red, telling me that she was crying. "Em, I'm so sorry. Please don't cry. I'll take you up there to him. I'm not so sure, cuz people always wake up as soon as their heart drops, but I don't know." "You're really taking me to see him?" Her eyes filling up with joy as she looked at me for the first time. "Yeah, and I need to drop something off at Shawn's so it's all good," I answer, smiling, really smiling.

When we get to the hospital, I go straight to Carter's room, forgetting about the front lady. As we walk into the room, I feel another person in the room. I look around, but there's no one except me and and Em. "Do you feel like there's something else in here?" I ask her "Yeah, I though I was the only one," she answers, looking at Carter. "Carter? Is it true? Are you dead?" She finally noticed Carter, and I finally notice Matt. He looks up at me and smiles, then looks at Carter, and finally Em."Em, back away from Carter," I say as calmly as I can,"Matt, why are you here? You finally got what you wanted. Carter's dead! Please leave. You'll go to a better place!" I exclaim as I grab Emily by the arm. "Nash, what's going on? I can't see anyone? Who are you talking to?" She starts asking all these questions. "Nobody?" I say more as a question. I look around and he's not there, "it was no one. Just my imagination, I guess," I shrug.

Me and Em talk for a little bit about Carter, and how she might never get over him, and how he was such a good friend to have around, and how he always made him laugh, we even talked about his obsession with Justin Bieber. Soon later, a nurse comes in "Hello, sorry to tell you, but visiting time is over. Y'all can come tomorrow though!" She says smiling. "Ok will do!" I say back as I walk out of the place, Em got a ride.

I walk into my house, drunk obviously, and go up to my room.

"Nash! Why are you home so late? And why do you smell like alcohol? Have you be-" "Shut up, Hayes! Nobody cares! Nobody cares about you! Just go die like Matt and Carter!... The world would be better if we had died and not them..."I trail off looking at my window. "Nash I know you don't mean that. Please, please don't go crazy! Please don't leave like they did!! I don't want to lose another person! You're not allowed to leave ," he says running into my arms. "I promise, they'll come back, they always do. The boys always come back to me. I promise, it'll happen! They're on they're way right now!" I look at him, smiling and laughing. He just looks lost and after I say that, he looks like a lost puppy.
"Nash...they're not coming back."
