My Best friend

When I saw Justin sitting on the waiting area ...I lost it....his eyes were empty...few streaks of tears dripping on his cheeks...lips trembling...he is the strongest one...
He is always the one who gives comfort to me...but now he needs it from me ..
I have to stay strong for Justin and milo....

Milo never care about his life...he always put me before him... always...
Am the one on the receiving end...
He sacrificed so much for me ...
But I never thought he would willingly give up his life to save someone I love ..
He knows that I can't live without Justin...
But that stupid doesn't know that I can't live without him too....
I sat next to Justin and his head fell in my shoulders...
We never said a word...we just stared off the wall silently praying for our best friend...
Our best friend....
Should I be happy that they became enemies to friends....
Or I should worry about my Milo....
After what felt like an eternity the doctor came to us..

"Family of Milo "

"Yes we are...is he okay!!"

"What is your relationship with the patient"

"Brother..... am his brother"

"Your brother is lucky to be alive...the metal rod from the vehicle pierced his abdomen and he suffered a liver damage...he has cuts and scratches ....he will be completely alright in two weeks....just follow the prescribed medication... I've altered some since he take medication for his panic attacks and depression...take care"

"Thank you doctor..."

We went inside to see him lay on the white sheets ... covered in bandages...his hair sprawled on the pillows.... his lips cracked and eyes littered with purple circles...
I felt myself crying only when Justin tried to console me...

"Milo ... please open your eyes for me..."

He opened his eyes with lot of pain ...he was dazed and high ...

"Hey babe..."he gave us a tired smile....

Suddenly his face was filled with horror..

"Oh my god Justin...is he alright...?"

"Shush ...Milo am here...you saved my life..."

"I thought I lost you Justin...."

"I thought the same too ....but we are here ...we will be okay"

"Is that tears in your eyes ...you cried?"

" How I cannot cry.... You're my best friend ...we are family after all"

"We are family "

His eyes widened with shock and happiness...

Family...the one thing Milo longed for in his entire existence...

People with broken family can only knows the value of having a real one ...
Me , Justin and milo we all came from a broken family...
But we formed a family of three...
We are not related by blood...
But we become a family...

" Where is Justin"

"He went home to grab us some clothes and other things"

"Is he okay...he looked sad"

"He feels guilty..."

"For what"

"He thinks it should be him in your place not you"

" Stupid...I actually dissolved the impact...I was hit by the corner ..if not he would've died on impact.."
