Thugs Don't Fall (Lucas Coly, Zendaya and August Alsina Fanfic)

Chapter 16

Lucas's POV

Maree was sitting in the chair beside August. We just got to the hospital and they told us that he was unresponsive but still alive.

I don't even want to be here. I keep thinking about the situation I was in with Maree. All of this just gives me anxiety.

There was nights where I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was that it's all my fault. Everyone breaks up but when I did it she tried to killed herself. I thought it would never get better. For the first time in years, I cried. I never turned to drugs other than weed until that happened.

"Maree I'm gonna go for a drive." I told her quickly.
She stood up and walked to me.

"What's wrong?" She asked. I shook my head and tried to go out the door but she stopped me.

"Lucas talk to me."

"I can't. I have to go. I can't be here, it's giving me anxiety." I told her as I walked out the door.

She followed closely behind.

"Can I at least have a hug?" I stopped walking and turned to her. Her frown deepened the more she stood there.

I walked to her and pulled her to me, hugging her.

We stayed like that for about thirty seconds before I let go and left.

Maree's POV
(5 hours later)

"I wish you could just talk to me. That's all I want. I want to hear your voice." I cried as I talked to August. He looked so sick. The tips of his fingers were turning purple.

"August baby I just need to know that you're going to be okay. Give me a sign or something, something to let me know you're gonna be good. This is killing me, just give me something, please." I begged as I held his hand in mine.

My cries were cut short from the sound of a long beep. I looked around me not seeing anything that could've made the noise; confusion clear on my face.

Doctors rushed in, pushing me away from August.

"He is flatlining, I need you to leave the room."
My eyebrows furrowed together as I stared at her in confusion.

"Ms. Coleman let's go." She pushed me out of the room, closing the doors. 

I walked to the window so I could see.

They were doing all kinds of things to him, CPR, the things you rub together and say clear with, even checking his blood pressure.

"Maree, what's wrong?" I looked up at Lucas, still confused.

"I.......don't know." I said lowly, looking back through the window.

All the doctors had stopped doing everything. They gave each other a sad look, then pulled the sheet over August's head.

"I don't.......why are they......." I stepped back, tilting my head to the side.

Dr. Lee walked out of the room, along with other doctors and nurses.

"Ms. Coleman, we tried everything. I'm so sorry for your loss." With that, he walked away, leaving me speechless.

"No." I mumbled as I looked back through the window. He was now covered all the way up, his arm hanging from under the sheet.

It was like something inside me broke, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk......I couldn't even stand.

"I got you, it's okay." I heard Lucas talking to me but I couldn't focus.
