The Denny House

chapter 39

I've just been laying in this hospital bed. For days now. They won't let me leave. Everyone comes to see me. Like I'm a fucking animal in a glass box.

I mean, it very generous that they carve time out of their day to see me. But like, don't feel like you have to.

Heath hasn't left my side. He's so worried about me. I'm starting to worry about him. He doesn't sleep much anymore. And if he does, he lays his head on the left side of my chest, on top of my heart.

Currently, Heath is talking to Zane about god knows what. Zane has been cautious around me. Ever since I broke the news. Almost as if he could catch the disease.

Heath turned to me and smiled. He walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

"Listen to me babe. I'm gonna go home, shower and  change my clothes. Zane is gonna stay here and keep you occupied while I'm gone. I'll only be like 15 minutes."

I nodded. He hugged me lightly and left.

"I wish he didn't act that way around me." I confessed to Zane.

He sat down in the chair across the room.

"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"He treats me like I'll be gone in a flash. Like he'll never see me again if he blinks."

"No offense Ave, but that can happen." Zane said.

I sighed. "I know."

"Has anyone said anything lately. About me?" I question.

"They are all worried about you. When your asleep, Heath just cries. You can't leave him Ava. You just can't." He said.

"I know. I know." I said, in between sniffles "I'm not ready to go. Not yet."

Zane and I barely held conversation while Heath was gone. Which was a max of like 20 minutes. I was low-key relieved when he got back because I cant stand small talk.

"Hi." I said to Heath as he walked to my side.

"Hi beautiful." He kissed the top of my head again.

I smiled and Zane rolled his eyes.

----- 2 hours later -----
"I'm hungry. You guys want to get dinner or something?" Zane joked.

"Oh fuck you." I said

"I think Heath might be a little jealous if that happens." Zane cackled.

"That's enough. Go get McDonald's you prick." Heath said, red faced. (bLuE fAcE bAbY)

Zane got up and left. Heath and I just relaxed and watched Family Guy. Until I started crying.

"What's wrong baby?" Heath asked.

I shrugged and wiped my tears. "I'm gonna miss you."

"Don't you dare say that. You're not dying. You're gonna kick this fuckin' sickness and come home. We are gonna build a life Ava Miller. Don't you ever think differently." He cried.

I nodded and took deep breaths. As did Heath. Then Scotty and Zane walked through the door. They looked at our faces, and ignored our sad vibes as they set down a fuck ton of food.

"Bone Apple Teeth Bitch." Scott said, setting down my caramel frappe that I get all the time.

"Aww! You guys! This is so sweet!" I said.

"Anything for our queen." Zane said cockily.

I giggled and popped a fry in my mouth.

"I love you guys." I said.

"We love you too Ava." Scotty said.

-----12 a.m.-----
Everyone had left, except Heath of course. Heath was now resting is head on my chest, sound asleep. I on the other hand, was no where near sleeping. I think I ate too much greasy food, because I just don't feel well. My stomach is turning, and I'm dizzy.

Authors p.o.v.

Ava's body convulsed underneath Heath's head.

Heath awoke and looked at Ava. She was shaking uncontrollably and the monitors were beeping rapidly.

"AVA! AVA NO! PLEASE BABY!" Heath shouted. "NURSE! DOCTOR! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US!"

3 nurses ran into the room and quickly analysed the situation before taking action. They quickly shoved Heath out of the way.

"SHES CRASHING. GET A CRASH CART IN HERE!" the nurse called out.

A crash cart appeared and they charged the paddles to 200 hundred.

"Clear!"

Thump

Ava's body jolted back onto the bed.

"300! Clear!"

Thump

"400! Clear!"

Thump

The nurse set the paddles back down onto the cart and stepped back.

Heath was sobbing in the corner staring at Ava's lifeless body.

"Call it." One of the male nurses said.

"Time of death, 12:47 a.m."

"Oh god." Heath said, running up to her.

"Ava, baby, please. You gotta wake up. For me. Please baby." Heath kissed her cold hand while his tears dripped down her arm.

As the last nurse was leaving, Heath called out to her. "Call her mom. I can't do it."

He nodded and left the room.

Heath stared at her. Taking one last look at her beauty. Her closed eyelids covered her beautiful hazel eyes. Her hair was tied up in a messy pony tail with a velvet blue scrunchie. Her dainty lips held a faint blue color.

"I love you Ava Miller. Forever and always." Heath kissed her lips lightly and closed his eyes. Praying to God, that he takes good care of her.

Heath grabbed his phone out of his pocket and clicked on Zane's contact.

"Hello?" Zane's groggy voice was heard.

"She's gone." Heath cried.

"We are on our way." Zane said.

Zane, Scott, Todd, Elton, and David soon appeared in the door way.

A/N
I'm gonna end it there to spare both of our emotions.

IM SORRY.
