(Pretend it's them)
We were all in the hospital lobby waiting for Landon to get out of surgery. It's been hours since we last heard anything, and that was terrifying me. I was resting my head in Jonny's lap as he was stroking my hair. I was crying off and on, and kept thinking if he dies it was going to be my fault. Finally the doctor comes out.
"He's stable for now, he lost a lot of blood and that's our main concern." He said.
"Is he dying?" I asked.
"Well the outcome right now isn't looking to good" he said. " I know this is hard for all of you to hear but he might not make through the night, we're doing everything we can but we can only do so much, i will allow visitors right now but one at a time." He said walking away.
I stood there staring off into space frozen not moving.
"Imani?" Cam said, hugging me.
I didn't answer.
"He's not going to die." He said choking up.
"It's all my fault" I whispered looking down.
"Im-" I cut him off.
"Face it cam,Landon is dying, He's dying because I never listened to you guys when you said Donte was bad for me, if I would have listened this would of never happened and if I lose my best friend because of me I can't live with myself!" Is said break down.
"Imani" Cam said
"No! I'll die too cam and don't try to stop me!!" I screamed at him.
I tried to walk off but Jonny stopped me in my tracks. I try to shove him out of my but he grabs my arms.
"Listen to me" He said.
I look down.
"Imani please" He said lifting my chin to face him.
"that fucking doctor can stand there and say he's not going to make it through the night but I know Landon is going to pull through because he's strong, he can take anything, and stop blaming yourself because that shit will fuck you up if you keep thinking about it and if I ever hear you talk about ending you life again I will make sure you never leave my sight,do you understand?"He asked wiping my tears.
I shook my head yes.
He pulls me into a hug and cam joins.
"You go first Imani" Jonny said.
I look up at him.
I pull away from him and cam, and walk towards the ICU. I stop when I see Landon, he's hooked to all these machines. I take a deep breath and walk in. I start crying as I approach him. I kneel down and kiss his head.
"I'm so sorry" I whisper in his ear.
I sit down in the chair next to his bed and hold his hand. I lay my head down on the small empty space next to him, and slowly drift to sleep.
