The Boy Trapped

Chapter 29

                                Nyxon's POV
I ran up to the bed and grabbed her hand. I broke down. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do besides, cry and cry and cry. I was so overwhelmed, I needed a sedative. Sienna forced me to go home and at least shower. I did that then, raced back to the hospital. I ran up to Colette's hospital room. I ran in.

"I-I'm back! Anything?! Please tell me, she woke up or...or at least moved!"

"No. Nothing. Uhh do you ACTUALLY want to die or...was that part of what happened?"

"N-no I uh...I actually want to die. I-I can't live without her. I-I'm not lying. Wh-why would I lie?"

"I'm not doubting you. Who's watching Winter?"

"Wh-why does that matter? Wait..never mind. M-my brother is. Sh-she's at his house."

"When's the last time, you slept?"

"Two weeks ago."

"Ate?"

"Five days ago."

"Y-you're actually killing yourself. A-are you paying any sort of attention?"

"Uhh no?"

"She'd want you to take care of yourself. You even look sick."

"Oh...I am sick. That's just a known fact."

"I-I cannot believe this. A-are you really this depressed?"

"Y-you know how I was when, she was with your cousin. Th-this is just traumatizing me all over again."

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't think."

"I-I-it's fine. I-I haven't been able to think in weeks."

I started running my fingers through Colette's hair.

"I'm freakin' miserable Sienna. Wh-why is this happening?! S-she's only 22! Th-this has to be an actual crime!"

"I've been looking into it. I'm not exactly sure if, it is. The website was very confusing. I-it was all over the place. What I did understand was, a few people did get charged for causing it. The victim ended up dying though."

"S-so...I have to sit around and...and wait for her to die before, I can fucking do something?!"

"Nyx....relax. Go sit."

I shook my head.

"N-no. I-I wanna be here when, she wakes up. She's gonna wake up right?"

She looked down.

"I don't know. I-it's not looking good."

"Wha-huh?!"

Her phone went off.

"I-I have to go. Her doctor said to...to start making arrangements."

"N-no. D-do not tell me that.."

She didn't say anything else. She left the hospital room and shut the door.

"Th-this can't be happening. I-I can't lose you. N-not like this. If I lose you...my heart'll break. Then, I'll die. I-I'm sorry. I-I should've paid attention more. Maybe...maybe...I could've prevented this."
