Hold on to Him
Chapter Twenty-Four
“Meg?” a voice echoed. I pried my eyes open to find a boy standing above me.
A smile broke out on his face. “Hey,” he said through tears. “Hey, you’re gunna be alright.”
Everything moved in phases and was blurred together. I didn’t feel right, and I couldn’t move or speak.
I couldn’t ask what was going on.
Justin’s face was the only thing completely clear to me. His perfect complexion was somewhat shattered by dried blood and dirt beneath his eye and on his cheeks, but in a way, his imperfections made him all the more perfect.
I moved my eyes slightly to the side, and I noticed a patch of blue in my vision.
Justin followed me. “Yeah, the car’s destroyed,” he said, laughing. “That doesn’t matter. All that matters is you.”
The ambulance was alongside me, I laid on a gurney. Justin stood beside me as I watched ambulance workers pass me. One stopped to put an air mask over my face.
Someone advised Justin to lay down, but he brushed them off. When they became more stern and told him he needed to get on the cot, he avidly denied, saying he needed to stay by my side.
I was lightheaded and black spots danced across my vision. I began to get sleepy, so I rolled my head to the side and shut my eyes for a split second, when I heard a frantic voice tell me, “No, Meg,” and shook me back to awake.
It was Justin. “Megan, don’t do that. Don’t close your eyes.” He intertwined his fingers in mine as he murmured through his tears, “Hold on to me, Meg. You got this. Hold on to me.”
My breathing shuddered as I pushed back sobs. I couldn’t cry, it hurt to cry, and I couldn’t let Justin see me like that.
“You’ve gotta stay with me.”
I obeyed his words, and locked my eyes on his. I took his hand and squeezed it with all the power I could. Hold on to him, hold on to him.
“Keep fighting. They’re gunna get you to a hospital,” he told me, crying now. My gurney was lifted onto the ambulance, and Justin followed me. “Keep my hand, Meg. Stay with me.”
Stay with him, stay with him. Hold on to him. Hold on to him tight.
I felt the car shift slightly as it started. “You can make it, Meg. I know you can.”
I coughed, feeling an intense pain in my chest. “It’s okay, Meg. It’ll all be over soon. They’ll get you help, you’ll be okay. You’ll be okay. Stay with me, don’t close your eyes.”
Stay with him. Hold on to him. Stay with him.
“She lost a lot of blood,” I heard someone say from behind me.
“She’ll fight through it,” Justin assured.
“It’s highly unlikely her body can keep going with so much blood loss.”
I saw Justin bow his head, breathing heavier. “God damn it, I can’t lose you too.”
Hold on to him. Keep holding on to him.
“You gotta promise me something,” he told me and I felt my breathing getting lighter.
I just kept my eyes on his.
“You gotta promise me you’ll look out for me. Always. Even when you think I’m fine, don’t fall, because I’m not. I need someone, Meg, and that someone is you. You can’t fall.”
Hold on to him. Stay with him.
“God Megan, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”
I wanted to tell him to stop, that it wasn’t his fault, but I couldn’t even breathe anymore.
I fought so hard to stay awake. My eyes never shut, but the darkness overwhelmed them anyways.
The last words I ever heard were, “I love you, Meg. Forever and always. I love you.”
I felt my hand go limp in Justin’s, and I couldn’t fight it anymore.
I let go of him.
The End.
The End!? What!?
I know this chapter happened really fast, and I had more detail, but I had to delete it because the chapter was too long to post. ):
Okay. Wow. Damn. I don't even know what to say. Thank you, thank you thank you! Ugh, thank you for being so supportive. I did believe that this story was the best story that I'd written, until I started my next story, but the love I have for my followers and the people who are reading is through the roof. Thank you!
Also, I spent a while debating on when I should start posting my next story, either tonight or tomorrow night, and I decided on tomorrow night. So check back tomorrow for my newest and best story, 'in his arms.' And since I love you, you're getting a teaser (:
He was sickly looking but somewhat stunning in a way I’d never seen on a man before.
I love you guys! So much!
