the days dragged by after that. i stayed with mitch through the nights as kim didn't want to come back. i wasn't alone though as perri stayed here and ash did. i told them to go home but they insisted.
i stared down at mitch and once again i started to cry. no tears come so i was just blubbering like a fool. "he will be okay" ash said from his seat next to the bottom of mitchs bed facing me.
"you don't know that" i mumbled "perri told me mitch would be okay and i believe him" ash said. i looked over at perri curled up asleep on a chair in the corner. "i don't think i even give it a thought how bad this would affect pel, hes his best friend" i mumbled "mitch will make it" ash smiled "he has a day to wake up" i sighed "you know how mitch is, he surprises everyone just at the last minute" ash said "well this is no time for surprises" i muttered bitterly "come on sam, mitch would have a fit if he knew you was acting like this" ash sighed "your right" i sighed leaning back in my chair. the anger vanished and the doctor walked in the room with a smile. "evening boys" he said checking mitch over "anything different" i asked hopefully "sam, i dont think hes going to wake up so try your best to enjoy the time you have while his heart beats, people say that he will hear you if you speak to him, give it ago" he said before leaving again.
"is he for real" i said raising an eyebrow "give it a shot" perri said in his little morning voice "you can go home pel, its late and you seem really tired" i said "sam, hes my best friend I'm not leaving him" pel said sitting on the bottom of mitchs bed "didn't he hate you doing that to him" ash chuckled "if he hated it that much he would wake up and kick me off" pel smirked.
i couldn't help but smile at my two stupid friends messing around. i don't smile often so this was a treat to me. the minute that colour started to fill my brain, my thoughts went back to mitch and it turned back to a blank canvas. even my brain blamed me for this, mitch didn't deserve this.
my thoughts was cut off by mitchs heart monitor making a loud beeping noise "shit" ash said and sprinted to the door calling for doctors to help.
mitch had flat lined "no no no no no" i started to chant and rock back and forth. tears welled up and i become desperate. "sam" pel started but got cut off by people rushing in the room. my chair was pushed back and the doctors tried to push me out. pel helped me stay by bursting in to tears and sitting on my lap. i hugged him tight and focused on the monitor, hoping for a bit of life from mitch.
i breathed a sigh of relief when the machine started to beep again like before. "hes alive, its okay" i said repeatedly mostly to calm myself down but also to help pel calm down too. ash was shoved out the room because he was stood up but they couldn't do much about me and pel in the corner.
when people started to leave the room the doctor comeback over to us and crouched down so he was in level with us "talk to him" he said quietly before leaving.
i wiped away my tears and ash come back in the room with scared looking jordan behind him "hes just arrived" ash said sitting back down "how you holding up " jordan asked taking pel from my lap. "I'm coping so far" i sniffed. he nodded and sat down in a spare chair with pel clinging onto him.
i took a deep breath before looking over at mitch. i was losing him. i scooted my chair close to the bed and held mitchs hand firmly in mine. "don't leave me mitch, I'm so sorry, please wake up"i whispered desperately. i sobbed silently while staring at mitchs face. i froze when i seen his eyes twitch "he moved" i said loudly "sam, don't do this" ash sighed "no he did, i swear, his eyes twitched" i said frantically.
ash got the doctor back in and he did a few checks just to look at me sadly "nothing has changed" he said then shook his head at me before leaving "I'm not crazy bro, i know what i seen" i said "sam, he isn't awake and no is he going to just because you think he moved" pel yelled "perri, hes my little brother, why would i lie just to hurt myself in the end" i yelled back "hes my best friends, I'm going to lose him too you know" he spat at me getting in my face "hes my little brother perri, he means more to me, think about star being in that bed instead of mitch" i spat back.
perri just looked at me after that "oh how the tables have turned" i growled "yeah but because of your stupid mistake, its your brother you put here when it could of been anyone of us, you messed up sam" pel growled then stormed out the room "hes just upset, don't take him seriously" ash sighed "but hes right, i did put mitch here" i said sitting back down. i rubbed my face and felt the need to scream.
talking to him is just making me seem crazy. jordan went to find perri after that so the room was silent until my stomach decided to growl "what have you eaten today mate" ash asked getting up "bowl of cereal" i shrugged not really caring "I'm going to get some food that's not this hospital junk okay, be back in a few" he said and left.
i lay my head on the side of mitchs bed and held his hand tight. "when you wake up your going to get a beating from hell for doing this to me" i mumbled. i swear i felt his hand move slightly but i decided to ignore it so i didn't cause another scene. i drifted off to sleep before ash come back so his trip was pointless when i wasn't going to eat.
