Say Goodbye

Chapter 13

I bolted out of the house and stumbled into my car faster than I ever have before. My body was tingling at the thought of what might be going on right now. The hospital was only 10 minutes away from our house, so I got there as fast as I could. I burst into the entrance without an explanation and ran as fast as I could to the stairs. I bolted like a rocket ship up to his room. Could this be it? could he finally be waking up? I looked through the hall and saw Blake standing there with tears streaming down his face. I couldn't tell if they were tears of joy or sadness, so I made my legs bolt even faster. I got there is a second, and I knew that there was no way that those were tears of joy. "Kodie I'm so sorry." Blake apologized. "Is he...." I couldn't bring myself to say the words. Blake just hugged me as some form of an answer. I didn't start crying one tear at a time, all the tears I've been holding in for months burst out all at once. "HE BROKE HIS PROMISE!!" I screamed at the whole hospital. I wasn't mad at him, and it wasn't his fault how things ended, but somehow I found a way to be mad. Not at Cole, but the driver who hit us, at myself for wishing it would be okay, and at the world for letting it happen. They all told me that He had a heart failure and the medicine just stopped working. But for some reason I feel like Cole chose to. I feel like he couldn't hold on any longer, so he just let go. If it was okay with Cole, than its okay with me. I never fully got over Cole, and I don't think I ever will. I need to let go too, but I just can't break my promise, when we never got to say goodbye.
