911

~Jerome's POV~

I sat at next to Mitch's bed the doctors managed to keep him alive but they don't know how long he'll live.
No one contacted his parents about the news and no one was planning to.
He's been in a coma for a few months but it only feels like yesterday he was dying.
Jason stopped by a few times telling me the apartment was fine and no one had a clue about Mitch.
I wasn't sure how long we could keep Mitch's condition away from the public eye.
He had a lot friends and his family adored him.

"C'mon Mitch, wake up. Wake up for me. I miss your eyes. Your smile. Everything." I said holding his hand.
I may have had powers but I can't control life and death.
I heard quiet sobbing behind me, I turned my head to see Mitch's mother.
The one person I didn't want to face.

"Oh my Lord! What happened to my baby?!" She cried walking up to Mitch.
She took Mitch's hand and saw the ring.
She looked at me and shook her head, sliding off the ring.

"I will not except that." She said calmly, "you disgust me."
She threw the ring at me and went back to Mitch.
I picked up the ring and walked out of the room, holding back tears.
Outside the room I was met with Mitch's father, sisters and younger brother.

"Who are you?" His father greeted me.

"Oh umm. I'm one of Mitch's friends."

"Is it true?" His older sister cried.
I gave her a questioning look.

"Did he really try to commit suicide?" His other sister asked, I could tell she was holding back tears.

"Again?" His littler brother questioned.
I just nodded thinking about the chopped up sentence.
'He tried to commit suicide before?'
The family pushed past me to see their beloved son.
I actually envied him a little for having such a wonderful family and so many friends that cared about him.
I gripped the ring in my hand and left the hospital for the first time in months.
I walked into the familiar settings of Mitch's apartment.

"Jerome, how's Mitch? Is he with you?" Jason questioned as soon as I got in.

"Mitch is still in a coma at the hospital." I sighed.

"Why is Mitch's ring in your hand?" Jason stared at the ring in wished was still on Mitch's hand.

"Oh. Hey Jason, could you watch over the ring? I don't want anything to happen to it." I handed him the ring, he took it and slipped it on his finger.

"Now I won't loose it!" He smiled.
He left the apartment leaving to think about Mitch.
And if he woke up yet.
If he'd wake up thinking about me.
I turned off my human mode and laid on Mitch's bed wishing he was next to me.
I heard the door open and foot steps coming in.

"This is Mitch's apartment." I herd Mitch's oldest sister say.
I got up and entered the room they were in.
Boxes were in their hands and they were collecting Mitch's items.

"I'm not letting that man take away my Mitch." His mom said with a stern voice.

"I bet he's the one that did it." His little brother said.

"Ya. I bet he just said he committed suicide to cover up his tracks." On of his sisters said.
I didn't get it. They couldn't possibly be blaming me for Mitch's suicide.

"Next time I see the bastard hell have hell to pay." He father almost yelled.

"I'm calling the police as soon as we get home." His mother announced.

(Omg! They really have it out for Jerome. What's gonna happen to Jerome? Will Mitch live?!)
