Saying Goodbye
I could feel my tears coming in slowly. I just got word that Hiro is dying soon, and we need to say goodbye. I looked at Honey who had tears in her eyes. She did not know Hiro was sick and she did not know that he was dying.
All in all, this was a very hard week. I failed two of my classes, Professor Callahang yelled at me. And overall, I just felt like crap. I have never felt this bad before…Now that Hiro is dying. I hate myself.
My emotions are running down, and they are making me horrible. Even Baymax can't do anything about it. He just looks and stares at me.
"Hi, Honey Lemon." I said. I noticed her frown was turning into a quiver. "I heard about what happened to Hiro. I'm s-s-s-sorry."
"It's okay." I said to her.
She did not believe me that it was okay. Her tears turned into puddles and her sobs turned into muffled cries, she did not want to talk with anyone right now. Not even me, and frankly. I didn't want to talk with anyone either.
Not even the doctor or Aunt Cass. Who is probably planning his funeral. There is no way I am going to that, as I walk into his hospital room. I notice he is sleeping, I just don't know if it will be sleeping for long.
I don't know if he will be sleeping like that for long. I just don't feel ready to say goodbye yet. I had to say goodbye to my mom, I don't know if I could do it to my own brother…
He sees me and sobs into my arms. "Tadashi. I'm scared." Those words break me, and I start sobbing and crying into his arms. I am trying not to scare him.
Because I know that when you scare a dying patient. They will not want to leave the family alone, mainly because they have spent too much time with them.
I don't think Hiro has had enough of us yet. I decide to change the subject by talking about school.
"So, do you miss SFIT?" I asked. I notice his eyes widened and I also noticed a smile.
"I guess so, although, I'd rather be there…Than be in the hospital dying."
"I know, if this was me. I'd rather be in school."
Hiro looks at me and sighs, "how is the team?" He looks to the phone at his desk. I think he wants to call them, I am not letting him near that phone. If he calls them and tells them that he is going to survive, I am going to kill him myself.
That was just a joke, I know it wasn't a very good one. But deep down I know that he will survive. Even though it is impossible. I normally don't say that word a lot—The only time I really say that word. Is if I have a hard math assignment.
Not if I am trying to save my brother.
I end up having a flashback or a dream, I am thinking about my childhood with Hiro. And what we would do together. I really don't want to lose him.
"Are you ready Hiro?" I asked my brother, this was his first time riding a bike. I wanted to make this a special day for him. So, after this, we are going for ice cream.
"Tadashi! Please, don't let go."
"You can do this, Hiro!"
"Easy for you to say!"
I slowly start laughing. Not at what he said, but at the fact that he is being kind of a baby.
I do love Hiro, he is doing such a good job on that bike. I wish I could hug him, and tell him how proud I am.
"Hey, Hiro. Remember when I taught you to ride a bike?"
"Yeah…"
The machine that is keeping him alive, starts to beep really fast. All of a sudden, it stops making noise. It makes a flat line, I can only stare.
"NOOOOO!" I yell. My brother, is gone.
