Ch.61 - Gone Forever
3 hours later…
"I'm sorry Miss, but he's gone." The doctor said quietly and I cried as I looked down at Justin's lifeless body, not sure what to feel or how to react. It all happened so sudden. He was laying in bed and began complaining of chest pains again and the doctors came in to check on him and found out the fluid in his lungs was growing more, and it eventually just filled his lungs up completely. The doctors had just tried to get him back, but nothing happened. "Time of death?" A nurse with a clipboard asked, "2:45am." The doctor replied and I knelt down beside Justin's cold and lifeless body and took his small hand in mine and gently kissed his forehead. "I love you Justin. I will always love you and I will never forget you. I know you'll be scared when you get to heaven, but I promise we will see each other one day…I promise." I whispered as I cried harder and kissed his forehead again and stood up and walked out of the room, crying as I walked to Brian's room who was waiting for the news.
"Ali…" Brian whispered hoarsely and I began crying as I sat beside him, "He's gone…" I whispered and Brian's eyes widened and filled with tears. "What?!" Brian asked. "They couldn't save him." I said and Brian began crying hysterically and I gently hugged him. "Oh god!!! Why did God have to take him?! He was only a kid!! He was the best son a father could have!!" Brian cried and I only cried harder. "I don't know!!!" I cried and Brian cried harder as we held each other, knowing Brian was getting worse by each passing minute and knowing he probably wasn't going to last much longer, but I was still praying that he'd be okay. We both slowly pulled back from each other and Brian wiped his eyes. "I barely knew him…" Brian whispered and I cried softly. "I know this doesn't make it better or any easier…but…he's in a better place now. I'd do anything to have him back, but he hated going to the doctor every month and he hated not being able to do some things because of his heart. Now he doesn't have to have those tests done anymore…and he can do things that he couldn't do before." I said as I cried and Brian sobbed quietly, "Ali…I promise you that when I get there I will find him and take care of him…" "Brian! Please don't talk like that!! You may be okay." I cried and Brian shook his head, "Ali…I'm not going to make it. My lungs are in too bad of shape, I can barely breathe even though I'm hooked up to the respirator." Brian said and I cried and looked down at the bed. Brian lifted my chin up and looked into my eyes and I cried more, "Please don't leave…you promised you'd never leave me." I whispered and tears fell down his cheeks. "Even though you won't be able to see me, hear me, or touch me, I will always be with you…right here." Brian said and gently put his hand on my chest, close to my heart. "What am I going to do without you? There's a new baby on the way and I don't know if I can handle it on my own. I did it with Justin but I don't know if I can do it again, especially after what just happened." I cried. "You're strong Ali. I know you don't feel it right now, but I know you are. You can do it. You've gone through so much since we've gotten back together and I know you can get through anything." Brian said as he gently stroked my cheek and I cried more and leaned toward him and kissed him passionately and he kissed back, and for a second I thought he'd be okay, but he moaned in pain and pulled back from the kiss and closed his eyes. "Oh god. Brian?" I said and he opened his eyes a little and took my hand and I cried, "Ali…I love you…I will always love you…you do know that don't you?" Brian said. "Of course I do!!" I cried and Brian closed his eyes again in pain, "Please don't leave me." I whispered as I put my hand to his cheek and he opened his eyes. "I will always be with you Ali…I will watch over you and our new baby and I promise to take care of our son." Brian said weakly and I cried. "Brian…" I whispered, not knowing what to say. Brian gently pulled me down to him and kissed me on the lips gently and suddenly…stopped.
"Brian?" I said and his hand squeezed mine tight before his hand fell from mine and the respirator stopped. "Brian!! No!!! Please don't go!!!" I cried, knowing he was already gone. I leaned down and hugged him tight, praying he'd hug back…but nothing. I pulled back slightly and looked at his face and saw that the sparkle was back in his eyes, even though he was gone. I cried softly as I gently closed his eyes and kissed his lips again and stroked his hair, "I love you. I always will." I whispered before getting up and walking out of the room, to find Nick out in the hall crying his eyes out and I instantly ran to him and wrapped my arms around him as he wrapped his arms around me.
