Walter stood frozen at Megan's hospital door. He couldn't process what would lay before him behind those doors. He couldn't face watching his sister struggling to breathe. He couldn't accept sitting beside his sister's bedside waiting for her to take her last breathe and the sound a flat line heartbeat echoing throughout a silent room. Before he could make his decisions whether to enter, Megan doctor interrupted his thoughts and entered checking on her vitals and revealing his presence to his sister. He had no choice but to walk in. Walter took in the site before him. His sister. Pale. Her beautiful eyes that he turned for comfort for his entire life unrecognisable. They were dark and sullen. Her lips were purple and cracked. Walter felt his emotions forcing their way out. Walter slowly sat down beside her and mindlessly reach for her hand and held her tight. A strange feeling that maybe if he held on tight enough maybe Megan will recover. Maybe she will survive.
Finally after moments of silence of enjoying each other's company, Walter's voice filled the room. "Megan…I want to ask you one more time. Think about going on a respi-,"
"Walter…" Megan looked at her baby brother with a sad eyes. She knew he would never take her death well and feared that he would not cope and shut down. Megan took a deep breath "I want to s-spend the r-remaining time a-wake. With you" Megan squeezed their clasped hand tighter. "and with Sylvester."
Walter looked at his dying sister. He had lost his fight with Megan and with his emotions. The tears that he tried so hard to deny had forced their way out as they rolled down his cheek. He couldn't bear to look at his sister when he asked the next question on his tongue "W-What will I do after?" Walter took in a sharp breathe and found his courage to look at his dying sister before continuing. "I have never l-lived a day without-t you." Tears began to endlessly flow down his cheek. He never thought he will ever have to think of a day without his sister. She has always been there for him. She was the one that protected him from bullies. From teachers that he never meant to under-mind. She was his guardian angel.
Megan squeezed her brother's hand and looked at him. "You can finally live." Ever since she has been diagnosed she knew that Walter had dedicated his life and his existence to finding a cure. Megan felt happy that finally Walter can be set free and concentrate on his life. She gave him a small smile knowing that Walter understood what she meant, but knew in her heart that Walter never cared or even thought of her as a burden. She knew she was loved mostly by her baby brother and she felt like the luckiest person in the world.
Walter decided to take on Cabe's advice and make as many memories as possible. Spend as much time with his beloved sister. The siblings found themselves reminiscing on their childhood. Their times on the farm and how Walter hated the animals that chased him around. Megan's beloved horse that she use to care for until she was sick and how Walter took up her responsibilities to prevent their parents from selling her. Megan was truly and eternity grateful to have a caring brother. Hours passed by as Walter reminded her of their good times before passing out beside her. Megan looked over at her baby brother wondering how he will ever cope with her death. She wanted to help him one last time. To help him cope with her death. Megan picked up the phone and dialled the only person she knew that Walter will turn to. Paige.
