āplease, you canāt leave meā- Jack Gilinsky
Late. Iām always late. I walk into homeroom, and hand my teacher the late slip. I slump down into my desk and take my headphones out. I feel a light tap on my right shoulder, and I turn around. I look to see him, my beautiful brown eyed boy, Jack.Ā āI got you somethingā, he said smiling. He shows me a iced coffee and some donuts.Ā āHow do you read my mindā,you said smiling.Ā āWell, with everything happeningā,he said.Ā āI donāt wanna talk about itā,you said looking down.Ā āI knowā, he said looking into your eyes. He smiled and you turned around.
The ended of the day rolled around, and you see Jack running towards you.Ā āHello, hello beautifulā,he said hugging you and almost making you fall.Ā āAre you coming to my game tonightā,he asked.Ā āI-uh-i donāt knowā,you said hesitantly.Ā āYou okayā,he said concerned.Ā āI donāt feel very wellā,you said blinking rapidly and grabbing your head. Your whole body was throbbing, achy,and cold. You felt weak.Ā āBabe, cmon itās homecomingā,he said.Ā āiāll try my bestā,you said kissing him.Ā āI love youā,he said.Ā āDittoā,you said.
You make it home, and you collapse on the bed. You fall asleep and pray your feel better soon. Hours later, you wake up feeling a little better. You get ready for the game, and you make your way back to school. You make your way to the field. You see number 17 and he turns and waves. You give a sarcastic wave, and find a seat.
You see your bestfriends, cheering on the sideline. These were the only people who really knew what was wrong with you.āS-C-O-R-E score panthers scoreā,they cheered. You remembered flashbacks of last year when you were on the squad with them. You were happy then, now youāre just here. They girls waved to you, and you smiled. You know that feeling where everything is just falling apart. And you look fine while doing it? Thatās how iāve been feeling for the past 6 months. No one knows what you are going through, but you dont wanna tell people because you dont want to see pity. You over hear that jack scored another touchdown. You jump up and cheer with the rest of the stadium, to fit in mostly.
The last quarter was down to the final seconds. Jack throws the ball to the only free man in the endzone. Everything was in slow motion, you could hear a pen drop. He catches the ball and the crowd goes wild. Everyone runs towards the player, but Jack. Hes in a fetal position on the group, holding his stomach. You run toward him and fall to your knees.Ā āJack, what is itā,you said trying to find his face. He wonāt look at you. You notice the ground around him is trying slightly red.Ā āJack, answer meā,you said trying to pry his hands.Ā āGet helpā, he whispered.Ā āSomebody helpā,you screamed.Ā
āJack, baby, youāve gotta stay awakeāyou said holding his head in your hands.Ā ā(y/n), is he okay? Is he breathingā, david said falling beside you.Ā āHeās not responding to me, and heās bleeding but I donāt know where fromā,you said shaking.Ā āSomeone call an ambulanceā,david shouted.Ā āIāll go get my truckā,the coach said.Ā āJack, baby,can you tell me what hurtsā,you asked running your fingers through his soaked hair.Ā āI love youā,he said breathing out. The coach backed the bed of the truck next time jack. The boys lifted him and the coach drove until the met the ambulance on the road.
You made it to the hospital and frantically tried to find Jack.Ā āRoom 304ā³, David shouted to me. I started walking fast, to full blown running. You open the door, and see him. Your brown beautiful eye boy, in a bed with a tube down his throat. You instantly start to cry. You hold onto Jackās dad and just break down.
You ran to Jackās side and grabbed his hand.Ā āJackā,you cried. Hours go by, and he hasnāt woken up. You fall asleep with your head on the side of the hospital bed.Ā ā(y/n)ā,someone said whispering your name and touching your shoulder. You wakeup to see johnson.Ā āHey, I thought you were in Ohioā,you said.Ā āflew back when I heard about Gā,he said.Ā āHe hasnāt responded in about five hoursā,you said.Ā āHere, take this youāre freezingā,he said handing you his sweatshirt.Ā āThanksā,you said putting it on immediately.Ā āYou need anythingā, he asked.Ā āNo, Iām goodā,you said giving him a soft smile. Another hour goes by, people stopping by, checking on Jack. The whole team comes and goes, each giving me a hug. My parents bring me extra clothes, and try to console Jackās family. They were bestfriends ever since Jack and I were babies. My mom walks up to me and just starts to cry.Ā āI-I donāt know what iām gonna do if I loose him momā,you said crying.Ā āHeās gonna fight because he knows you need himā, she said smoothing my hair.Ā āI havenāt told himā,you said softly.Ā āI thought we were todayā,she said looking into your tear filled eyes.Ā āI told him somewhat but not reallyā,you said.Ā āwell what did you sayā,she asked.Ā āJust that my headaches were coming backā,you said. āHow do I tell him?ā,you asked.Ā āWhat if he doesnāt wake upā,you said breaking down. Your mom just stayed silent and just hugged you.
The doctor finally walked in. Jackās parents and I stood up anxiously.Ā āAlright, so it appears that when Jack was tackled, it broke three ribs and pierced his lung. Now we repaired that, but his knee was shattered and has a major concussionā,he said.Ā āWill he wakeupā,David said.Ā āThereās a 75% chance he will not. Iām sorry but the brain damaged from the hit was major and beyond our repairā,he said. Just then my world was rocked. I felt all the blood in my body fall to my feet. I fell to the floor and screamed. but no noise came out. Jackās mother was inconsolable. I grabbed jackās hand tightly.Ā āCāmon baby, hear my voice. Wakeup, open your eyes. Please donāt leave meā,you said with your tear falling onto Jackās hospital gown.Ā
