Heal My Heart

happy end | 14 |

I sat beside Jack's hospital bed, looking over his features for the hundredth time. My eyes trailed over his freckles on his pale cheek, the purple bags under his eyes, and his greasy and messy brown hair. He looked dead with his pale skin, droopy eyes and tube in his mouth.

He had been in a coma for two months. Those two months were the hardest of my life up to now. I was almost at the hospital all that time. Sometimes the friends would force me to leave his side and go do something with them but at this point they didn't bother me anymore because of how depressed I acted. He was my world and he was practically shutting down which made me emotionally numb.

I gripped his hand tightly, using my other hand to push a strand of hair to the side. I could never listen to the doctor so I wasn't sure if he was getting any better. He didn't look like he was doing any better.

"Hey Jack," I had convinced myself he could hear me. "I miss you. Fuck I miss you. You really screwed up y'know? But I forgive you. I forgive you with all of my heart so please just come back, okay? Come back to me. I know you can push through this because I love you and I think you love me too so you'll push through. I'll wait for you puppy."

I placed my lips against his hand, a gentle kiss against cold skin. I pulled his hand up to my cheek, resting my face against it. I sighed as I softly nuzzled into it. His hands were very cold even though the rest of his body seemed fine.

After about five minutes I placed his hand back against the bed, keeping it trapped in mine. I ran my thumb against the skin of the back of his hand. I still had hope that one of these days he would open his beautiful puppy dog eyes to meet mine.

I leaned my head down against his thigh, my lack of sleep coming to me. My eyes slowly drooped closed under sleep deprivation. I felt my breathing slow, and I almost let sleep take me. The only reason I never let the sleep take me was the small grip against my hand that caused my eyes to shoot open. I looked at the boy I was leaning against, the sight of his squinted eyes bringing tears to mine.

"Jack?" my voice came out cracked with the sobs preparing to escape. I quickly sat up and reached for the button that brought the nurses to the room. I gripped his hand back, hand placed against his cheek. I gazed into his eyes as they looked all around my face.

The nurses burst into the room, probably expecting a flatlined Jack. When they saw his slightly opened eyes, fighting against the bright light of the room they ran to him and took the tube out of his mouth. One of nurses handed him water and he gulped it down quickly motioning for more. As she started to fill up his cup I jumped into his weak arms.

"You're awake," I sobbed into his chest. His arms wrapped against me, comfortingly rubbing my back. His touch sent shivers through my body. All my emotions seemed to pour back into my body with my whole world back awake. "I missed you so much dickhead."

"I'm sorry," he pulled me closer into him. His voice seemed foreign to my ears as it rang out softly. I embraced his warmth that I had been craving again for the past two months. "I should've been more careful coming to pick you up."

"No Jack. It wasn't your fault at all," I shook my head against his chest. "You're awake now and that's all that matters."

"Did I scare you?" I pulled back to look at his smile that I had been missing. I hit his chest and scoffed.

"Of course you did you asshole," I took a ragged breath. "Of course you did."

"I love you," Jack's eyes started to gain tears of their own. "I'm so glad I can still be with you."

"I love you too. I don't know what I would've done if you died," I tackled him back into the hug, pulling his body as close as I physically could. "Don't you ever do that again."

"I don't plan on it," he laughed a little, the sound lighting up my heart. "I don't plan on it...."
