Gone

"Skylar? Wake up." I hear a kind voice echo in my ears.

I shoot up in my bed thinking it's Nash's voice calling me. I look around to see a nurse standing beside me. I look past her to see Dr. Franklin and a familiar guy talking in the hall. The guy is about my age, tall, tan, and has brown hair. Fuck, the same characteristics of Jake, and surprise, it's Jake. I widen my eyes at him; shocked he's here.

"Miss Mendes, are you alright?" The nurse asks. I take a look at her. She is short, on the older side, and to complete her look; bleach blonde hair. Her name tag reads J. Dunn.

"I uh," I pause still astounded from Jake being here. "Who is that guy talking to Dr. Franklin?" I might as well have asked that. I need to make sure he stays away from me.

The nurse turns her head to look back at the doorway. "He says he wants to visit you. We made an exception."

"No! Get him away from me! As far as possible!" I yell. Jake turns his head and starts walking towards me. "No! Leave me alone! Stop!" I plead, but Jake keeps walking. I cover my face with my hands while my heart races.

I look up after a long pause and silence. I can't see anything. It's pitch black. Then, something flickers and I see a gravestone. I read the engravement.

Skylar Mae Mendes

Born January 17, 1998
Died April 12, 2014

Woah, what? I'm dead?! I see two more gravestones right next to mine.

Taylor Michael Caniff

Born February 3, 1996
Died April 15, 2015

Shawn Peter Raul Mendes

Born August 8, 1997
Died June 12, 2015

No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't care if I'm dead-well I care, but not the point-I really care if my brother and closest friend are dead. I just feel like I'm so shocked that I can't even cry. I close my eyes hoping this is all a dream. When I look up I see Taylor standing on an edge of a tall building, but at the same time I see Shawn walking with his head down and a car come speeding towards him. "No!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I feel as if my whole world is spinning in a circle, slowly falling apart.

"What was that all about? Are you okay?" A caring voice asks.

I cry into Nash's chest. "I was so-I-I-he-" I choke on my tears. I can't even say what just happened.

"Shh. It's okay. You don't have to talk about it now. Just try to go back to sleep." Nash's soothing voice calms me. I lay back down-wrapped in his arms. After only a minute of laying there, I realize I'm wide awake and there's no way I can fall back asleep. "Nash?"

"Hmm?" He replies tired.

"I can't fall asleep. I'm wide awake."

Nash sits up, "Alright, then do you want to tell me what that nightmare was about?"

I nod, "That's exactly what it is, my worst nightmare," I look into his eyes. "I was back at hospital, but this time I was at the new one. The one where it's far away from here and you and the rest of the guys. Then, Jake was there. He was coming towards me. After that, all of the sudden I was at a graveyard. I was dead, then I saw Taylor and Shawn's gravestones. They had apparently died a little after a year from my death," I see Nash's eyes widen. "Next, I saw how they died," I look down at the bed spread. "Taylor committed suicide, and Shawn, he got ran over by a car. The thing was, the car hitting him didn't look like an accident."

"And you screamed no and woke up," Nash finishes for me.

"Pretty much." I feel tears roll down my cheeks.

"No wonder you were sobbing," Nash pulls me closer to him and hugs tightly.

"I'm just going to sleep. Night." I roll out of Nash's arms and lay at the end of the bed, facing away from him. I close my eyes, knowing Nash was upset I moved away from him.

•Taylor's POV•

I haven't slept all night and it's now 3 a.m. and still dark outside. All I've been thinking about is how Skylar will just wake one morning and not remember me at all. I don't know how I'm going to cope with that. I can't watch her slowly suffer and not remember me. She told me and Nash that there's almost no way she can remember us in the end and she can't gain it back once lost.

I've been thinking a lot about what to do all night. I just recently decided what to do, so I'm packing all my things into as little space as possible.

I walk into Nash and Skylar's room. I have to somehow say goodbye to Skylar. I'll see Nash again, but I'm not planning on seeing Skylar again.

The door creaks as I open it. I slowly and quietly walk over to Skylar. I kiss the top of her forehead and whisper, "Remember I always love you. Goodbye Sky."

"What are you doing?"
