Freddy Freeman: Living on your Smile

I stared down at the water, letting the rapid sloshing fill my ears. It would be so peaceful... if it engulfed my senses right before the end. I put my hand on the railing of the bridge and begin to give myself some leverage.

"Hey!" A voice called out

I look around me to see a boy with a crutch wobbling my way over a bumpy metal grate. He wore a bright blue coat and a striped hat that covered his curly hair.

I knit my brows together and say over the rapid river "Um... Hi?"

He finally makes it to my side "So what brings you out here?

"Just enjoying the scenery" I grumble

He grins "Same here, It may look inconvenient for me but it's a lot more to look at if I take the long way home, Y'know?"

I give him a soft smile "Totally"

We sit in silence for a while, almost awkward but at the same time comforting.

"Is your house this way?" He asks, pointing toward the way he was originally walking before he spotted me.

I look to where he's pointing "Yeah, Actually"

"Wanna walk together?" He asks almost sounding nervous which is not my first impression of this boy.

I look back down at the water one last time and look back into his nervous, yet still beautiful baby-brown eyes and say "Sure- I just realized I don't know your name"

He sticks his hand and says "Freddy, Freddy Freeman"

~2nd Person~

Days of talking turned into weeks, then weeks into months, and you finally established in your brain that you had a real friend. You knew every single detail about this boy and he knew everything about you...Almost

You were there when he and his family welcomed a new sibling and how that led to all of them gaining superpowers. You were sitting at his lunch table when he met Superman in front of the whole school. And you were there...today

~Back to your POV~

Freddy and I were walking out of the school, heading on our normal route.

Today Freddy seemed a tad more anxious than usual which was strange, I hadn't seen him act like this since the beginning of our friendship so I'm a bit concerned.

"Fred, what's up? You seem really out of it," I ask touching his shoulder

He almost seems scared when I touch him so I retract my hand. He shakes his head and says "SO there is something on my mind but you've gotta promise that if I tell you you won't just ditch me, Okay?"

I nod, he sounds so serious I'm scared something bad happened.

He took a deep breath and just as he was about to say something...A car came out of nowhere, plowing right at me. Just as I was about to say goodbye to the world I was pushed out of the way by a strong force,

I'm knocked to the ground and when I open my eyes again I see Freddy crushed between the bridge railings and the front of the car.

I wake up with a crick in my neck from the way I slept, the way I've been sleeping

Freddy's been in a coma for a month now and I haven't gone to school since the day he was diagnosed. It's not like my parents give a shit.

The doctor walks into the room with Freddy's family all looking at him hoping for good news

"I'm sorry to say that if Freddy's condition doesn't improve within the next 24 hours, there is not a high chance he will survive," He says "We are doing all we can to wake him up daily but he's been out too long for his body to fight this anymore"

The room goes silent except for Rosa and Darla's cries. I pull the small girl into my lap and press a kiss to her temple as I let my tears slip.

"Family meeting outside," Victor says, and everyone slowly walks out "You coming Y/n?"

I shake my head no and he nods, closing the door behind him.

I grab Freddy's hand, rubbing my thumb over the back of it, and manage to struggle out "Hey Freeman, so the doctors say you can hear us when we talk to you, not sure if I believe it but let's give it a shot," More tears fall and my brows furrow "You gotta wake up Fred's, I need you to wake up because without you I don't know if I can do it"

I let out a choked sob

"You remember that day you met me on the bridge and I was looking over the railing? That's because I was gonna jump off" I nod to myself "It just felt like nobody cared if I was around and if they did care they only cared about the things I did not who I was. It was all too much so I figured, why not end it? But then you saw me and you were so nice to me... somebody cared for once. So I got better... You made me better"

I lean close to his ear "So just for me Freeman, I'm begging you, Wake up"

I sit back in my chair still holding his hand. Then suddenly there was a cough and I looked up to see those beautiful baby brown eyes

"Hey," He says with another cough

"DOCTOR!" I yell and stand up next to Freddy's bed

"L/N," He says and I look down at him "I like you"

I press a kiss to his forehead, tears streaming down my face, and whisper "Right back at ya Freeman"
