I knew something wasn’t right when Skyla hadn’t come out of my room, I walked in there and she wasn’t there. It was the way we had left it. I ran into all the rooms until I saw blood on the carpet outside the bathroom door. I got a knife and unlocked the door, and was shocked when I saw my girlfriend laying pale and lifeless on the floor unconscious in a pool of blood.
‘BEAU, JAI CALL 000!’ I hear Jai talking on the phone when Beau sprinted up the stairs and saw me covered in Skyla’s blood crying. About 5 minutes later there was an ambulance out the front with a lifeless Skyla and me about to leave. I quickly texted Beau –
To – BeauJob
Meet me at the hospital. I can’t be there alone.
I felt my phone buzz again.
From – BeauJob
Im on my way. Stay strong bro.
The ride to the hospital felt like hours. But really would’ve only been about 5 minutes. They rushed Skyla into the emergency unit and hooked her up to a few blood bags and put her in a coma. The doctor told me what was going on and that she had lost a lot of blood. He also told me she only has a 20% chance of living.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I dropped on my knees and cried hysterically. About 2 minutes later my brothers walked in looking worried as hell and saw me. They got me off my knees and pulled me to the chairs in the waiting room.
‘What’s up bro?’
‘The doctor said she only has 20% chance of living. 20 fucking per cent guys. I can’t lose her.’
Jai’s POV
When Luke told me that Sky only has a 20% chance of living, I couldn’t help but break down in tears. She’s like my twin sister. She means just as much as Luke does to me. She’s brought this family so much closer together since mum left for work. Which reminds me, I should text her.
To – Mummy <3
You need to come home now. Something bad has happened and Skyla tried to kill herself. She has a 20% chance of living.
In less than a minute I got a text back.
From – Mummy <3
Oh my god. Im coming now. I’ll be 20 minutes. Tell Luke to stay strong. I know how much he loves her.
I turn to Luke and Beau who are crying just as much as me. ‘I told mum. She’ll be here in 20 minutes.’
Luke looks at me and says thank you. All of a sudden over the announcement system we hear. ‘CAN WE HAVE 4 DOCTORS TO ROOM 143? PATIENT HEARTBEAT AT 5 PER MINUTE.’
Luke’s head shot up like no tomorrow, ‘That’s her room.’
He got on his knees and prayed. I’ve never seen him pray so I was quite shocked.
Luke’s POV
You know what I did in this situation? I got on my knees, through all my crying and I prayed.
God, I know we don’t talk often, but please, please don’t let her flat line. Skyla is my world. My everything. It’s not her time to go yet. Please save her for me. Please god, im begging here.’
I shot my head up when I heard my mother’s voice screaming, ‘Jai and Beau you better be on that fucking floor praying too or you’re grounded for the rest of your lives.’ I got up and ran to mum and cried in her arms.
She kissed my forehead and held me while I kept praying in my head. Jai and Beau were on the floor praying and mum was holding her rosary beads praying as well. About 2 hours later, the doctor came out of her room and said, ‘Which one of you is Luke?’ I stood up walked with the doctor to the psychologist who was in the room trying to figure out her thoughts as well.
He turned around and said, ‘Luke, she must really love you a lot. She keeps telling her brain to not shut off, for you. She is telling herself to fight through this for you. Mate you need to go in there.’
I ran into her room and noticed that there was a note on the chair next to her bed. It read,
Luke,
We’ve moved her into a double bed. Get in with her and hold her in your arms. You need to keep her alive. Hold her like it’s the last time.
Dr Blumenthal
Before even thinking I got into the bed with Skyla and pulled her into my arms.
Beaus POV
Hey God, you need to hear me out here. Skyla is my little sister now, and if you let her die, it’ll not only ruin my little brother, but it will ruin my relationship with him and my family. Please God, let her live. Let her use that 20% to an advantage and let her wake up. She brings so much joy to my little brother Luke. And he loves her a lot.
You wouldn’t only be doing Luke a favour, but me, Jai and Mum too. Mum always wanted a daughter and when Sky came along, she found her. She breaks up fights with Me, Luke and Jai and has kept this family together. Please Lord; give her the chance to continue living.
Jai’s POV
Hey God, please let Sky live. She’s like another twin to me. If you let her die, not only will Luke be ruined, but so will me, Beau and Mum. Skyla is mums daughter now. I remember the day Luke brought Sky home when he found her on the park bench. I immediately knew she was special. Please God, don’t let my sister die. Tonight was a big disaster, and yes she made a wrong choice, but please let her continue living.
Skyla is a good person. Everyone loves her. Me, Beau, Luke, Mum, Skip, Leena, James and Sarah. We all love her a lot. And if she dies, we will all be crushed. Please God, let Skyla live.
Gina’s POV
Dear Lord, think about this. Skyla Morris, the girl who ran away from home to stop getting beaten by her father, to stop getting bullied by other students in her school and to start a new life, met my son on a park bench. He brought her home and made her feel as comfortable as possible. She let him into her heart and let herself fall for him. She has been happy for so long and has made many people happy during the time she has been around my family.
Skyla is the exact daughter I’ve always wanted. She’s more than what I’ve always wanted. She’s more than perfect, she’s a living miracle. I love her just as much as my sons and I know that Luke loves her more than himself. I know he’s hurting now, and he is on the verge of killing himself. Please Lord, let Skyla get through this. I will not only thank you for eternity, but I will get to continue to live in a happy environment for a lot longer. Please God, let Skyla continue the journey of life.
