Seth’s P.O.V
I could feel the cold medicine flowing through my arm, the warm blanket on top of my body and my heart beating in my chest. Everything seemed so surreal…everything seemed like it was slowing down. The medicine was making my body grow colder no matter how heavy the blanket seemed to get. I could feel my heart slow in my chest and hear the warning beeps of the heart machine next to me.
Slower…slower…slower.
Until nothing.
Eli’s P.O.V
My rest was peaceful until Seth’s heart machine started screaming at me in warning.
“Wake up!” It screamed as I flung myself from the couch to the side of his bed.
“He’s dying!” It warned as a clan of doctors and nurses stormed loudly into the room. They were making demands to one another and shoved me out of the way. My body moved with the pushed, being shoved back into the couch watching as they treated Seth. Watching as he teetered closer to death.
“Sir, you and your friend are going to have to leave the room,” a nurse in pink scrubs smiled down at me resting her gloved hand on my shoulder. Her smiled was forced, her eyes were panicked and her hands shaking. Nodding I just pushed myself from the chair and left the room hearing a consistently long beep from the monitor making my eyes tear up and my heart break.
He was gone.
Seth was dead.
Walking just to the other wall I slid my back down it until I was sitting on the floor with my face in my hands and let my tears lose.
Shawn’s P.O.V
I watched Eli slide down the wall to the floor and break down, his shoulders shaking and his chest heaving. Sitting down next to him I covered him with the blanket I pulled from the couch and pulled him into my chest.
“He’s gone,” Eli sobbed resting his head in my neck. I didn’t reply and just let him cry, rubbing his back and holding him. After a few minutes his crying had stopped so I looked down at his face. Eli had fallen asleep on me.
Smiling I just rocked us back and forth trying to focus on what seemed to be the only good thing in my life right now.
“Shawn! I need to tell yo-” A screaming voice and loud steps soon stopped, making me look to my left. Ronnie, Devon, and Ky.
Frowning they started walking towards us again, but slower this time. “What’s wrong?” Devon asked his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Eli buried into my chest.
“Uh…Seth, he uh. His heart stopped. I’m not exactly sure what his status is right now, but it’s been about ten minutes,” I nodded squeezing Eli tighter to me not even wanting to think about loosing Seth-for good. They all look shocked as they started walking forward Ronnie then smiled as he started sitting down next to me.
“You’re gonna like this news!”
“Don’t keep secrets now, spill. I wanna be distracted right now!” I said trying not to wake Eli and cringed as he stirred in my lap but then curled back into the blankets, snuggling into me.
“I’m just going to get right to it. Spencer O’Riley is a siren, he lured Seth into his trap of loving him just so he could hurt him,” he said his brown eyes sparkling with what looked like both sadness and happiness.
“A siren?” A asked wanting to be sure.
“Yeah. He made Seth think he was in love and infatuated with him and then went in for the kill. His kind is very rare these days,” he nodded. Sighing I felt stupid. Why hadn’t I thought about that before I shut him almost completely out? Oh my god he is dead and I bet he thinks I hate him! I made a huge mistake!
I still love him!
******************************
A slight shaking woke me from a sleep I didn’t know I had fallen into. I was met with a females face, her short black hair tousled in all sorts of places and her pink scrubs wrinkled.
“Sir, I’m happy to tell you that Seth fought through and is alive. Although he will be asleep for a couple days, no telling when he will wake up because he was clinically dead for 30 minutes,” she said frowning towards the end as memories hit her.
“Can we see him?” Eli’s voice asked from my lap making me look down at his sleepy face. Smiling I looked back to the nurse.
Sighing she looked both ways and then back down to us, “technically it’s only supposed to be family. But if you act like you’re all brothers, go ahead.” As soon as she gave us the go ahead both Eli and I were already in the room fighting for the seat next to his bed.
“This is my chair…bitch,” I smiled remembering our ‘Breaking Bad’ binge. Giggling he stepped aside letting me take the chair. Doing a small victory dance that consisted of all disco moves I listened as Eli historically laughed behind me. Smiling I stopped and sat down watch Seth’s chest move up and down and saw how pale his skin was and how his gown was now buttoned at the front, showing all of the extra heart monitors. Leaning toward I grabbed his cold hand in mine.
“Listen here you little pale bastard. You aren’t ever going to pull something like that again! You hear me in there? You scared me to death…oops, I mean I almost shit myself out there in the hallway. I know the whole Spencer thing was an accident and…and I forgive you. I love you Seth Hawk. I never want to spend a day away from you…or Eli ever again,” I said kissing his hand.
