Why Him? (Spiraling down V2)

Prologue: I loved him

I loved my brother. He was the light of my life, the sun in the night. I never wanted to let go of him, I just wish I had more time to see him before he left me.

It was a warm summer day when it happened. I had just come out of school, and I went to visit my brother in the hospital. My brother had cancer, you see, and by the time I learned about it, he was incurable. He only had two months of living left, and I visited him every day. I circled outside of the room he was in, until the doctor came out with a frown on his face.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, puzzlingly cocking my head sideways.

"Your brother, he's..." He paused. "He's dying."

I stopped moving for a moment of hesitation. I don't know how to explain my sadness, the only thing close to my pain, that I can think of is... Heartsick?

"Can I... see him? One last time?" I asked, holding back my tears.

The doctor let me into the room, which contained my brother, holding a bouquet of white flowers that had tears going down into the middle. He turned his head to the side to face me, his eyes locked on mine.

"Hi sis. did you hear?" He asked.

"Yes, I heard Jack." I began, "Please don't die on me. I don't want to be alone."

"I'm sorry, Dolly, I can't..."

His voice softly descended into silence. I heard a loud sound coming from the cardiac monitor. I turned my head to see that the pulse line had become a straight line.

He died on me.

I yelled for him to wake up, but he only responded with silence. The doctor had noticed my screaming, because he slammed the door open and yelled, "Get out of the room!"

I was rushed out without any consent or say in what was going to happen.

That was my last memory of my brother when he was alive.
