Mickey’s Point of View

I was sitting next to Becky, holding her hand. Talking to her trying to wake her up

Bringing up old memories from when we were younger

“And remember when we fought over Tyler in 7th grade?” I said smiling at the memory

I’ve been crying for the past 6 days

But I’ve been crying the most today because tomorrow is Becky’s last day on life support

Her parents can’t afford to keep her in life support any longer.

Some parents they are. Instead of staying here for her, they take a vacation and spend all their money on that.

Fucking bitches..

Robert came next to me and hugged me

“I miss her so much” I sobbed

He rubbed my back and kissed my head

“Me too baby. All of us miss her”

I glanced at Alex and Sarah

Sarah in Alex’s arms, both of them a sleep

You can tell they’ve been crying

I sighed as more tears came streaming down

Turning back to Becky,  talking to her more

Robert by my side the entire time

None of us left her.

All of a sudden the door burst open

Me and Robert turned and Sarah and Alex woke up

Seeing Austin at the door

He looked like a complete mess

His eyes were red and puffy

He’s been crying.

“AUSTIN!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I yelled

I was so angry

He has the nerve to come here?!

He was searching around until he saw Becky’s body

At first, he looked confused

But then I saw the old him. His eyes were filled with love, concern, and… anger?

He was looking at Becky and he touched his neck.

I saw a tear slip out

I turned around to see what he was looking at

The necklace he gave her for her 15th birthday…

Austin has one exactly like hers

They promise each other that they would never take it out

She kept her promise

But when I looked at Austin’s… he was wearing the dog tag Taylor gave him..

He took his off.

And broke their promise…

Anger boiled in me

“You fucking bastard…” I whispered

He came closer

“Did… Did I do this to her?” He asked with tears pouring out

“…yes you did.” I told disappointingly

Tears came out of my eyes

So did Austin

He sat across from her and took her hand

“I’m so sorry Becky. Im sorry that I did this to you” He said and started sobbing

I can see the old Austin

The Austin we all know and love

Even though he’s hurt all of us so much and broke all his promises, we still love him

I got out of Robert’s arms and sat next to Austin

And pulled him into a hug

He started crying in my shoulder like there’s no tomorrow

While I started crying on his shoulder

“I-Im so sorry Mickey. Im so sorry I caused this on Becky. Im sorry I broke my promise about not having sex until marriage. Im sorry for breaking Becky’s promise. Im so sorry!” He sobbed

This only made me cry harder

Sarah came

I glanced at Alex, Sarah, and Robert

They were all crying hard

 I don’t know if Austin deserves to be forgiven

He’s hurt all of us. But mostly Becky.

“Austin. I don’t know if you deserve to be forgiven. Look what you’ve done to Becky! Because of you Becky might not survive! Tomorrow is her last day in life support!” I said sobbing in his shoulder

“I know Mickey! I know!” I think he’s sobbing more than me

We just stayed like that for the rest of the day.

Crying.

Hoping that Becky survives.
