Joven's pov

we all got the call that Mari was in the hospital. David, Wes and I rushed up there immediately. when we got there we saw our friends there in the waiting room. everyone looked pretty upset. My eyes narrowed on peter. he looked like a wreck. I walked up to him and kneeled beside him "what happened peter ?"

he stuttered "she was walking downstairs and she tripped". he wouldn't look me in the eyes though.

 "what has the doctors said so far ?" I asked him firmly 

He put his head down in his hands. He took a deep breath "they said that she hit her head pretty bad. she was in a coma and they didn't know if she would ever wake up"

his words hit me hard like a train. I felt my chest start to cave in. At that moment the only thing I needed was air. My eyes made contact with the door and I bolted for it. I ran outside grasping for air. My chest was hurting. I was having a panic attack. thank god lasercorn noticed that I ran outside. he came to my side and started talking me out of my panic attack "baby just breathe ok ? if you don't then you will pass out"

his voice was soothing and very soon my breathing became normal. I looked up at him and started crying and he hugged me tightly. I yelled between sobs on his shoulder "they said that she was in a coma and they don't know if she will ever wake up"

I can't stop crying. I feel like My world is being torn apart. she is one of my best friends. what if she never wakes up....

Two days later

David and I have been to the hospital a hundred times within the last two days. I keep asking myself "what if she doesn't  wake up."

I can't believe this is happening. I stood by her bed and held her small delicate hand. David was on the other side of her holding her other hand. she looked terrifying with all those tubes in her. this feels like a nightmare that I can't wake up from. Mari's parents walked in and they looked like they had been arguing.

Mari's mother came up and placed her hand on my back. Her Japanese accent was coming out clear as she told us "the doctors still don't know if she will ever wake up." she stopped for a moment and sniffed. it sounded like she was trying not to cry. she continued "if she doesn't wake up or at least start breathing on her own, in two weeks then we are pulling the plug"

David and I gasped "what ?!" how could they do that to their daughter. it hasn't even been a week and they are already talking about pulling the plug and letting her Die ! I fire back "what the hell are ya'll thinking ? how could you even consider this ?"

Mr. takahashi tried to keep his calm "she isn't waking up. all we are doing is keeping her spirit from moving on while she is plugged up to these machines"

I argue back "I can't believe you are giving up on her that easily ! what kind of parent are you ?"

Me and her father get into a shouting match and Lasercorn is trying to get me to calm down. I ignore him and keep yelling at her father. Finally a nurse comes in and get's all of our attentions "that's it ! two of you have leave if all you are going to do is argue. that girl can't  get better if this keeps happening"

I looked at her  father with anger. I said to the nurse "no worries. we were just leaving" 

I looked at lasercorn and he took that as our cue. he squeezed Mari's hand and walked out the door. I leaned down and kissed her on the forehead and whispered "I will come back tomorrow. don't worry I won't let them do this" not that there is much I can do.

I walk out of the hospital room with the feeling of emptiness and sadness.....
