chapter 45

(Skipping Sodas POV right now)

Your POV

The room is dark, and freezing. There is a small window in the corner that in letting in a cold breeze. I shut it, careful not to make much noise.

I sit on the edge of Johnnys bed and take his hand. When he is sleeping he looks almost peaceful. I watch the slow rise and the heavy fall of his chest. The heart monitor beeps from the corner

Beep....Beep....Beep..

I push his hair out of his eyes.

"You always liked your hair longer. Hide that scar." I gently trace the large gash down his left cheek. Tears were threatning to fall.

"Don't ever scare me like that again." I let his hair flop back. "They had to drug me."  I chuckle lightly.

I stop and watch his chest again. Then move to his face. The big bruise around his eye at the rumble had gotten bigger and enclosed his big eyes.

I trace light circles on his hand with my thumb.

"We ain't going back there. To the old man, I mean. I'll get us an apartment somewhere. You can go back to school and I'll work down at the Dingo and everything will be okay."

For a moment I actually believed myself.

"God damnit Johnny. Please." I beg. "Please." I lay my head on his chest and sob into his robe. "I don't think I've ever had anyone I've needed this much. Not even Soda."

Sure I loved Soda and needed him there. But Johnny and I are brother and sister. And that is a bond that can never be broken.

The repetitive beeping  stops. My heart sinks and my throat gets dry.

"Johnny?" It's earrily quiet.

"Nurse!" I shout into the hallway. "Nurse!"

Three nurses come running in and push me aside I fall into the chair and sob into my hands.

"1..2..3" the noise of electricity rings throughout the room.

Zap.

"No response."

"1..2..3"

Zap.

"No response."

"1..2..3"

Zap.

The room goes silent after they try for the third time. Even the heart monitor is silent. My heart sinks even farther than before. I lost him.

"I'm so sorry." A nurse takes my hand in hers. "We really did try de-"

Beep.....Beep.....Beep.....

I let out a happy sob and the nurse gives me a warm smile.

"We should let him rest dear. He has been through an awful lot."

"Of course. Thank you so much." I hug her.

"I love you Johnny!" I call before leaving.

Beep....Beep....Beep...

Was his only response but it was enough for me.
