Summer Romance

Summer Romance: Chapter 18

  Chapter 17 recap:

   My tears start falling all over Austin's face and my vision is beyond blurry. I continue anyway,

"Well I'll be right here, right by your side. I know we've had our ups and downs but I'm here just like I said I would."

I kiss his forehead, then his nose, and every so slowly I give Austin one final kiss.

I turn around and back up to join my mother again. I look around and see all the crying faces in the room, his parents and mine and everyone who loves him is right there with us.

The doctor takes the breathing tube out.

"No,"

I let out as a painful moan and start sinking to the floor. My world is finally gone and there's nothing I can do to get him back.

There is a deathly silence in the room and a hot pool of tears slip out of my eyes.

Austin's mom is in loud hysterics and soon after I start mine as well in my mothers' arms.

This wasn't how my summer romance was supposed to end.

Austin, I'm sorry. Austin I wish we could just start over and I wish that we could be happy again before any drama before anything. I wish it was just you and me again. I love you so much and I hope you're in peace now. I don't know when I'll be happy again, not for a long time. It's gonna be painful without you. I miss you so much already. I won't ever forget you baby. I will love you forever and always.

But then in the sickly silence, as small gasp is heard. 

I look up at my no longer dying angels face and his eyes flicker.

Chapter 18 enjoy   

The room is completely silent... a scary silent... the kind of silent you hear right before a big storm, and the kind of silent that tells you that everything is about to change.

 Everyone's eyes have been turned towards Austin's body gasping for air his chest rises and his eyes quickly fill with water; the doctor rushes to his side to reconnect the breathing tube. Quickly all of us are rushed out by a short red headed nurse,who seemed to appear out of thin air, the next few hours rush by becoming a blur.

I sit awkwardly in one of the scratchy chairs out in the waiting room attempting to read a few months old Seventeen magazine. I gaze at the pretty faces of the girls who wear far to much makeup wishing that my life could be as easy as theirs appeared to be.My life was easy, I think in my mind, before all this crazy drama happened. I set down the magazine onto my lap and let out a small sigh and let myself drift off a little.

Feeling as though I had just closed my eyes seconds before I'm roughly shaken awake.

I peek out of my eyes and see my younger sister Karli staring at me intently.

"What do you want?"

I slur.

"He's been asking about you, he really wants to see you."

She tells me patiently.

halfway through the news I jump up out of my seat and start to hurry towards his hospital room.

"Slow down tiger,"

Karli half smiles, grabbing my arm before I can even make my brisk walk into a full on sprint, and drags me towards the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" I ask confused.

"We," she emphasizes," are going to make you presentable!"
