i was shook awake early in the morning by perri "morning bro, I'm sorry about before i was just upset" he whispered "its fine, I'm sorry too" i said wiping my face and sitting up "that must have been uncomfortable" he chuckled sitting down in ashleys chair "believe it or not, i didn't mind as long as i slept" i said cracking a smile "yeah" he said and then looked down. my eyes travelled the room to find nobody else here "where did ash and jord go" i asked "to get the others, todays the day" pel mumbled staring at mitch.
i had totally forgot that today was going to be the day mitch was being switched off. the door opened and a familiar tearful face walked in "come here" i said opening my arms. ellie ran into my arms and hugged me tight. "wheres mom and dad" i asked "paperwork in the doctors office" she mumbled.
slowly the room started to fill with the other lads. there was not one conversation going, everyone was silent. even pel of all people was quiet and not moving. "this is it" mom said walking in. she sat next to me and lay her head on my shoulder. she wasn't as cold hearted as i thought when they decide to agree to turn mitch off. "how long do we have" i asked putting my arm around her but making sure i was still holding ellie close "ten minutes maybe" she whimpered. i wanted to cry then and there but i had to be strong for my family. ten agonizing minutes later, the doctor walked in with dad "its time" dad sighed followed the doctor to the side of the bed with the monitors on.
mom was crying now and ellie continued to do so. even pel was crying again on jordans lap. "goodbye mitch, we all love you" dad said choking up whilst holding mitchs hand "your all warm, just like you use to be" dad sobbed. he kissed mitchs head then nodded at the doctor "not yet, please not yet" i cried letting the tears fall. "its for the best" the doctor said then turned to the computers. i cuddled close with mom and ellie and cried just as much as they were.
i heard the machine slow down and then slowly it flat lined. hes gone just like that.
Mitchells pov:
everything has been dark for some time now. i didn't know where i was or how i got here. i did walk for what felt like days but never got anywhere so i stopped still. i grew tired over time and really wanted to sleep. i lay down to sleep a few times but i either heard voices or my arm would start to hurt badly making me stay awake. i was laying down on a cold floor now. i could hear the voices again even though it had been quiet for some time. i just woke up from what seemed like a five minute sleep. there was pain in my chest and it wasn't going away.
"Mitchell" i heard someone call clearly. i jolted up to a sitting position in a panic and looked around. i had never heard the voices so clearly before. "hello" i called out standing up "how have you been Mitchell" the voice said again. it was a male voice and i couldn't quiet place it. "ummm I'm good, where are you" i said looking around "I'm in your head" the voice said. in my head? how could it be in my head.
"do you know where i am" i asked "yeah" it said "well tell me then" i said cockily. "now now little brother, chill out" he said "wait, sam?" i said a bit confused.
"I'm just in your head mate, so listen up yeah" he said "continue" i said sitting back down "you had an accident and your in a coma, they want to switch your life support off today, you little nap was when you died so don't go to sleep okay" he said "so if i sleep I'm dead" i repeated "exactly and if you dont wake up now, your going to die" he said "how am i suppose to wake up" i yelled "concentrate on those voices and don't let yourself go to sleep" he said "sam, i cant understand the voices" i groaned.
he didn't reply so i called him again "sam, answer me" i called. he didn't answer "what a big brother he is" i grumbled.
the voices come back again and i tried to focus on them. i got some random words and tried to recognize the voices. i recognized ellies voice and ashleys and then i heard pel and my mom. i wasn't looking for those voices though. i listened carefully and finally i heard the voice i was looking for. sam.
