Chapter 4

 

We all made our way to Brian's hospital room. I saw all the guys stop at the door of Brian's room.

   

"We have to be strong for brian guys" Howie said as they walked into Brian's room. I stayed outside, trying to hold my tears back. Part me wanted to go in so I could be by his side but the other part didn't want to see Brian the way he is. I leaned up against the wall, only finding myself on the ground the next minute. I got up and found myself in Brian's room. I took a deep breath and slowly made my way towards Brian's bed, closing my eyes, afraid to see the way he looked. I opened them seconds later. Brian was pale, he had IV's coming from his arms and had a heart monitor attached to him. I looked over to my right and saw the guys crying, trying to hold there tears back but were unsuccessful. I looked back to Brian, it looked like he was in a painful sleep, trying to awake from it but cant escape. I felt cold fresh tears sliding down my cheeks. Why did he have to go through this pain? I wiped my cheeks. I saw a nurse come into the room and tell the guys that visiting time was over. They got up and said there goodbyes to Brian and left. I walked closer to his bed, wishing I could sit but knowing I would fall through. I looked around the room as I heard someone say my name. I looked around and saw Brian staring at me.

 

"I thought you were dead" Brian said as he sat up in bed.

         

"I am" I said as I saw tears forming in Brian's eyes.

         

"Then how can I see you?" Brian asked as the tears slid down his cheeks.

         

"I don't know Brian, I guess its like some sort of bond thing of something" I said as Brian looked up at me.

         

"Why did you rush to that meeting the night you died?" Brian asked as I concentrated on sitting in the chair nearest to his bed.

         

"I wanted to show you guys I could be responsible and for one day in my life I didn't want to hear Kevin yelling at me" I said as I successfully sat in the chair, Happy I could finally sit down.

         

"You know he didn't mean it Nick" Brian said as the tears stop flowing down his cheeks.

         

"I know he didn't, I heard him talking to me after I died" I said as I heard Brian yawn.

         

"Why are you stuck on earth?" Brian asked as he yawned again.

         

"I don't know but I think you should get some rest." I said as I stood up.

         

"Your gonna come back right?" Brian asked me.

         

"Of course I will, now get some rest" I said.

         

"Goodnight" Brian said as I saw him close his eyes.

         

"Goodnight Bri" I said as I walked out of his room. I walked down the hall looking for something to do until morning came. I walked through a door that lead to a church. I knelt down in one of the pews, I put my hands together and started to pray. I was surprised I was actually praying cause it's not everyday you would see me in a church, praying. First I prayed for Brian, hen I asked god why he was doing this to me but unfortunately, I didn't get no answer like I expected.
