"Is that how you greet people?" I ask Tyler.

"Hi! Now are you two dating?" He asks.

"No." I laugh.

Jack also laughs along with me but grabs my hand and pulls me towards Tyler's bed.

"How you feeling, buddy?" Jack asks him.

"Tired." He replies.

Jack hums in response and Tyler turns to look at me.

"Abi?" He calls.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"I love you." He smiles.

"I love you more." I whisper.

I pull him into a huge bear hug and he smiles once he pulls back.

1 Month Later-

It's been a month and every time I go to visit Tyler I'm scared. I'm scared that it's gonna be the last time I see him.

I get up and put on a red sweater, Tommy Hilfiger shorts and white converse. I brush my hair and put it in a braided crown. I run downstairs and find Alexus waiting for me.

"Hey? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I wanted to come with you and your parents when your visiting Tyler." She smiles.

She's wearing a sunflower printed tank, blue shorts with a black belt and black vans.

"Well, mom and dad are already there so we should go." I explain.

"Yeah lemme grab my keys." She says walking towards the kitchen.

"Okay, I'm ready." She calls, running back to me.

We walk towards her car and drive to the hospital. Once we arrive we walk into the reception.

"Hi uhm excuse me? I'm here for Tyler Simmons." I say to the receptionist.

"Oh." She replies.

"Oh? Why are you 'Oh'ing?" I ask.

"Mr Simmons has been moved to room 304." She says.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"It's best if you see for yourself." She explains.

I cock my head in confusion whilst Alexus just nods. Alexus grabs my hand and we walk towards room 304. I knock on the door and am greeted by my teary eyed mother.

"Mom? What's wrong?" I question.

"It's Tyler... I think it's his time." She whispers.

"What?" I shout, barging past my mom.

Once I see Tyler I immediately start crying. His skin was mottled, he looked extremely weak and tired. When Alexus and I walked up to him he let out a chesty cough and smiled weekly at me.

"Ty?" I call.

"Hmmm." He hums.

"I don't want you to leave me. Your not allowed to. I won't let you." I cry.

"You can't reawaken the dead, Abi, I trust you know that." He whispers.

"Your not allowed to use a Harry Potter reference in this situation." I laugh, the tears rolling down my face.

Tyler lets out a dry laugh but then immediately starts coughing and spluttering after.

"Are you okay?" I question.

"You know for a fact that I'm not." He chokes.

"I-I know. But hold on. For me?" I ask.

"Anything for you." He whispers.

I nod my head and almost choke on my tears. I kiss his forehead multiple times and grab his hands.

They feel cold and their colour has gone. His eyes flutter open and closed as he drifts in and out of consciousness.

"I-I'm not ready f-for you to g-go yet." I bawl.

"I'm sorry." He coughs before finally closing his eyes.

His draws his final breath and his heart rate monitor goes dead.

"Nooo! Tyler! Come back to me! Please?" I cry out, shaking his fragile body.

"Abi! Stop!" Alexus yells, placing a hand on my back.

My mom slaps her hand over mouth and starts crying into my dads shoulder. Alexus tries to pull me back but I just push her off of me.

"No! I want my brother back! Give me back my brother!" I exclaim, completely breaking down.

A few seconds later I feel a pair of hands wrap around me.

"Abi? Come on, Darling, I need you to look at me." Jack coos.

"I can't!" I say, not wanting take my eyes away from my brother.

A few people in uniforms bustle through the room and lift Tyler up from his bed.

"No! Give him back." I say attacking one of the guys.

Jack grabs me back and tries to hug me. I eventually end up hugging back and breaking down again.

"He's gone! My only brother is gone!" I bawl.

"Shh. I know, Darling. I know." Jack whispers, trying to comfort me.
