Death saw a crowd around the teen's body. This soul would take a while to collect. Even though nobody could see him, he still preferred to have no one around if possible.

Luckily, everyone left except for three people. Still he waited.

"Hal, how could you do something like this?" One of the two girls said, pulling on her blonde hair.

The girl beside her wearing all black just shook her head and ran her fingers over Hal's deep red hair.

The third in the room was the brother of the teen. They almost looked a like. The brother stood and leaned against the wall and the two girls gripped each others hands.

Death watched as he waited. The blonde still sat while the girl in black stood up, "Katerina, you going to be okay?"

Katerina shook her head then nodded, "I'm sure I will be. We were talking about getting married just last week. Now he's hooked up to life support and they're saying if he makes it he'll be a vegitable the rest of his life. I can't live without him. Jovanna, how am I going to get over this?"

"Time, Kat."

"I still have the bruise on my back where we had sex against the sink and we fell!"

"TMI. Danny, you alright?"

Danny nodded and looked to Katerina, "I need to try and get something in my stomach, I'm going to the cafeteria."

"I'll go, too."

Only one other in the room, he could wait a bit longer.

A sniffle was heard and the girl in black known as Jovanna turned around, clearly breaking down. She had been holding it in until she was alone.

"Hal, you'll always be my best friend. Remember when we were in the grocery store and his the milk under a pyramid of beer boxes and it spoiled? Two weeks later you could smell it all over the store. In elementary school when everyone made us slow dance, it was weird dancing like that with a brother figure. I'm going to miss you but I know we will meet again one day. Tell the others I said 'wassup' when you get to Heaven, alright?"

She placed a kiss on his forehead.

"I love you, man."

Jovanna turned around with her eyes closed, arms hugging herself. Her long black hair his her face for a moment until she regained her composure.

Her eyes opened and she looked up, gasping when she did.

Death didn't think anything about it at first.

"Are you here for Hal?"

She could see him.

"Yes."

But the girl just nodded and looked back down with a sniffle before looking back up again, "He's kind of hard headed so I'm sure you'll have a little trouble with him."

Death nodded, "You can see me?"

"Yes, of course. I've glimpses of you before."

This wasn't normal, a human wasn't supposed to see him.

"Take him before the others get back, okay? I don't want them to hear the flat line."

"But you allow yourself to hear it?"

Jovanna nodded and looked him straight in the eye, "I hear it a lot."

Death held up his hand and saw Hal's spirit come up out of his body and walk towards him. Jovanna looked up when she felt the cold chill and reached a hand out to Heal but stopped.

"Why can I see you clearly but not him?"

"Hey, Reaper. Tell her to sing the song we heard on YouTube." Death looked at the spirit beside him and saw him smiling, "I told if whenever my time came I wanted her to sing it at the funeral."

He nodded then turned back to the Gothic girl, "He wants you to sing. A song you two heard on something called YouTube."

Jovanna gave a weak smile then walked back to the body and stroked its hair. The horseman could tell she was having a hard time keeping her voice steady.

"It's just a matter of time a few days ago
I saw you, you were fine
Remembering what you said
About the book you read
The one I got you
The Beginning of the End
Oh how we'd talk
For hours upon end
What I give
Just to do it again
But you're lying there
In this hospital bed
Won't you open you eyes
And let's talk once again

If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face

Well I've been here all night
And I'm watching you
Breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you
Or just a machine
That's giving you life
And it's making seem
That there could be hope
I could say to your face
If it weren't for you
That there would be no grace
That's covered my life
You took the time
To speak into my mind
And my heart
Words of life

So goodbye for now
And I'll see you again
Some way, somehow
When it's my turn
To go to the other side
I'll hold you again
And melt at your smile
Now all I have
Are the ones that I'm with
And you taught me not
To take for granted
The time that we have
To show that we care
Speak into their minds
And their hearts
While their here
And say I love you"

Death looked at Hal who was smiling, "Okay, I'm ready now."

The horseman nodded and looked back to Jovanna. She just looked back at him with tears streaming down her face before breaking down into hysterical sobs, laying her head on the chest of the body.
