Mr. Player

Part 32

I woke up and saw Sydni laying in her hospital bed. My heart beat was faster than it was supposed to be. I grabbed her hand and laid my head on the side of her bed and just cried. These past 2 months have went by and Sydni is still in a coma. The doctor came in.

Doctor: "Mr. Bieber, I don't think there's anything we can do anymore. Sydni's body is rejecting all energy supplements that we have given her. We're gonna have to pull the plug if she's not awake by tonight so I advise that you call her family and say goodbye." I nodded knowing my nightmare was about to come true. He left the room and I cried some more.

***Sydni's POV***

Doctor: "Mr. Bieber, I don't think there's anything we can do anymore. Sydni's body is rejecting all energy supplements that we have given her. We're gonna have to pull the plug if she's not awake by tonight so I advise that you call her family and say goodbye." I could hear everything but my body was too weak to respond. I wanted to sit up and tell the doctor that I'm here but I couldn't move. I heard the door close and I felt someone lay on me and cry. It hurt so bad knowing that I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't hear anything. My eyelids remained closed but I saw a light. It scared me. A man's figure appeared out of the light. He approached me and I made out the face. It was my dad. He didn't look frail and worn like he did before he died. He looked healthy and bubbly. I could see myself in front of him. He reached out and touched my face.

Dad: "Mija." He wrapped me in a hug. Where the hell am I?

Me: "Papi?"

Dad: "Do you know where you are?" I shook my head no.

Dad: "This is heaven."

Me: "I died?"

Dad: "Actually no."

Me: "Then why am I here?"

Dad: "Sydni, you're really close to dying. Your body keeps rejecting the medicines that they give you."

Me: "This makes no sense to me."

Dad: "Honey, you need to go back and let the medicines work. You can't die right now. It's not time."

Me: "What if I say no?" I asked not wanting to leave him.

Dad: "You have to. There's people who love you and who would be crushed if you didn't go back."

Me: "I wanna stay with you. You don't understand that I've needed you these past years and now that I have you again, I can't keep you." I let a tear escape my eye.

Dad: "I'll see you again. We'll be together for eternity." He spoke calmly. I put my head down.

Dad: "Look Mija. Look who you're hurting." He showed me a screen of my mom, Aaron and Ava crying beside my bed. It hurt seeing them like this. Then, it flashed over to a screen of Justin in the hallway outside of my room in the floor balled up crying. I cried knowing that he needs me. It flashed over to Alecia laying in her bed crying. I wiped my tears away and wrapped my dad in a hug.

Me: "I have to go back." He nodded.

Dad: "I promise you'll see me again." He kisses my forehead.

Dad: "I don't want you to be sad. I need you to be happy. I need you to take care of your mother. I need you to make me proud." I nodded.

Me: "I love you."

Daddy: "Ti amo, mija." His presences began to fade away. It feels just like it did when he died. I wiped away my tears and did like my dad said. I can't be sad. The might faded back into a total darkness and I could hear everything going on around me again. A hand was latched to mine.

Justin: "Baby, I know you're probably not listening to me but I love you. I don't tell you that enough but I really do love you. You're my everything and thinking about being without you is killing me." He paused for a minute and I heard him cry. I wanted to be there for him so bad but I couldn't say anything.

Justin: "I've been crying a lot lately like a pussy and I know you don't want that. I'm sorry. I-I just don't know what else to do. Sydni, I can't imagine being without you. These past few years have been rocky but we've made it through. You're my best friend and the love of my life. I'm sorry I couldn't be a better man to you. I should have but I haven't. I've just never loved anyone like I've loved you." He traced my palm with his finger. I used the little energy I had and grasped his finger so he would understand that I was listening and that I'm here for him. I felt the energy course through my veins. I guess the medicine was working.

***Justin's POV***

"...I'm sorry I couldn't be a better man to you. I should have but I haven't. I've just never loved anyone like I've loved you." I ran my finger along the inside of her hand and she wrapped her hand around my finger. I stopped to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. Then, she did it again.

Me: "Sydni, can you hear me?" She squeezed my finger again. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at me. I went and got the doctor and he came back in.

Doctor: "This is great. We're gonna keep the supplement running for a while longer until her energy is restored." I nodded and he left the room.

Sydni: "I'm sorry." She muttered weakly. I sat down in the chair and she grabbed my hand.

Me: "For what, baby girl?"

Sydni: "Leaving you like this. I feel awful."

Me: "It's not your fault. You're fine. I'm fine. We're fine." She nodded.

Sydni: "I love you." I kissed her forehead and smiled.

Me: "I love you."
