Until the World Ends

Nashlynn's POV~

I open my eyes and see that the room is now White. It smells like mint and apricot. Not a very good mixture. I see that Natalie is on her stroller next to my bed and Matt is asleep with his head next to my hand. Maybe he cried himself to sleep.

I shake his head gently to wake him up.

"Matt?" I say still shaking his head. "Matt, get up."

He raises his head and blinks a couple of times to make clear his vision.

"Lynn?" He asks unable to believe it's me. "Lynn, you woke up!"

He hugs me and kisses me and then hugs me again. Only tighter this time. I feel a throb at my back.

"Ow." I say rubbing my back. I suddenly feel a hole with a little of creams mixed with blood.

"Don't touch." Matt says getting my hand away from my back.

"Matt, what happened?" I asked confused.

"Victoria shot you." He says. "When you closed your eyes Kyle came running to you and immediately called the ambulance."

"But he had the baby." I say.

Matt shakes his head.

"The police took the baby away from him when you got shot." He explained. "They didn't want the baby to be harmed in any way."

"Did they give her back to you?" I ask.

He nods.

"She's right next to you." He points to my right side.

I see Natalie sleeping on her stroller. I reach for her but some wires pull me back.

"Don't move." Matt orders. "Your heart can't function by itself so you may be connected to the wires for the rest of your life."

I stare at him. How could all of this happen? How could all of this happen to me?

"What about the house?" I ask.

"You won't be moving back until further notice." He says. "Kyle and I will take turns to stay with you over night."

"Where's Kyle?" I ask. "I want to talk to him."

Matt nods and leaves the room. 5 minutes later Kyle comes in and runs to me and hugs me.

"Thank God you woke up." He says. "We thought you would be in a coma forever."

I shake my head.

"You ain't gonna get rid of me that fast." I say jokingly.

He laughs.

"Uncle Nash is coming today." He says. "So is Aunt Ashley."

"Thank god they're coming." I say.

"Victoria is in court right now." He says randomly.

"That fast?" I ask. "This only happened yesterday."

Kyle's smile fades.

"Right?" I continue.

"You've been in a comma for a week, Itty bitty."

"What?"

"They were going to disconnect your heart thinking that you were dead." He explained. "But i insisted that they waited at least 1 more week."

"Thank you." Is all I can think of.

He nods and we start talking about another subject.

Matt's POV~

"She is doing better than we thought, but not good enough." The doctor explains.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask.

"Her heart can't beat on its own." He adds. "We can't keep her connected to all the wires for the rest of her life."

"So you'll let her die?" I ask.

I shakes in disagreement.

"There is actually a way that she can go home with the wires." He says.

"There's always a bad thing to these types of options." I say. "What's the bad thing about this option?"

"She will only have 3 months to live." He says.

I think this through. I want her to live, but I don't want to her to stay in the hospital for the rest of her life.

"I'll ask her about it." I say.

"No." The doctor says. "If you ask her and she says yes, she will not enjoy the few days she has. It's better if you don't tell her."

I nod.

"We'll do that then." I say.

"Ok." He says. "We'll get the wires and all that stuff ready. She'll be ready in 30 minutes."
. . .
We arrived home about 5 hours ago and Nashlynn has been playing with the baby for the past 3 hours. I can't believe that I'll raise Natalie by myself.

Natalie will never remember her mom. Only by pictures. Mr. And Mrs. Grier called, they told me that they couldn't come because they had some issues with the car. It will be ready in approximately 3 months.They may not see their daughter ever again.

This is the part I hate. The part when the guilt is starting to come to me. Nashlynn thinks she'll live because I told her that, but it's nothing like that. I may tell her because of all the guilt I feel. I'm not going to let her die thinking of this lie. I'm going to tell her.

"Honey?"

"YA?" Answers Nashlynn laying Natalie in her crib.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure."

She moves her wheelchair near me and I sit on a chair in front of her.

I start explaining all of this and she begins to cry. I don't get to the part of how much time she has left because I start to cry, too.

She moved her wheelchair to the living room and I stayed crying in the baby's nursery. Alone. Just like I will be in about 3 months.

Sorry for the short chapter. I don't want to make this chapter very descriptive so I save the best for last.
