Chapter 7: Then Ya Gone
A/N: As I said in the A/N at the end of Ch. 6 this is the next afternoon after the shooting, everyone is at the hospital.

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

Krys pulled the IV out of her arm, Leon and Mia sat in the room with Krys sitting up on her hospital bed. "How is he?" She asked Dominic as he came in with a cup of coffee in one hand and holding a one year old little girl in the other arm. She had dark hair, hazel eyes and dark skin.She smiled at the sight of her mother.
"V and Summer are with him right now. He's is unconscious." Dom said quietly. "He might not." His eyes welled up with tears, he sat down in a chair, still holding his daughter.
"I have to go see him." Krys said pulling on her hospital bathrobe.
"You aren't supposed to get up." Leon reminded her.
"I don't fuckin care, Micah taught me everything I know and I'm not gonna let him leave me with out talking to him again." She pulled herself out of her bed and walked to the door.

Listen everyday we complain about little ups and downs

We need to be thanking the Lord that we are still around

You'll never ever know when it is your time to go

And I know it's hurting so bad to lost people that we love

We got to use that example and try and straighten up

You got to live everyday as if your last one

See one minute you're here and then the next day you're gone

~~~~

She walked down the hall as fast as she could manage, Leon, Mia and Dominic came rushing after her. "Krys, you aren't supposed to be out of bed." Dom said catching up with her. Mia now had Danielle (Dom & Krys's daughter), when Dominic stopped Krys Mia and Leon caught up with them.
"Please, just let me go. This once, all I want is to go see him." Krys looked at him.
"Okay, but I'm going with you." He told her.
"No baby," She said as she kept walking. Dom knew better than to fight with her when she made up her mind. He and Mia took Danielle to the waiting room and he let Leon take her to Micah's room. He opened the door for her and told Vince to go get some coffee with him. Krys pulled a chair up close to Micah's bed.

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

"Micah." She bit her lip and held his hand. "Even though you probably can't hear me, I think I need to tell you this anyway. Sometimes it seemed like I treated you really bad but I really hope you know I didn't mean any of it. You are more of a brother to me than my actual brother. You've been my best friend since I was five and you've been with me ever since. We went through elementary school together, we joined the Bloods together, and we went to every single football game in high school together. God." She started to cry, "We were even gonna have a double wedding next summer. If you never wake up, I love you, so does Summer, and Dom, and everybody." She put both of her hands around one of his and bent over crying.

~~~~
See lately I wake up in the morning wanting to cry

I bend my knees and I raise my head up into the sky

And sometimes I just can't fight my feelings I have inside I

See I always wish that you would be here right by my side

I'm glad I told you I love you so much before you died

I knew you couldn't and wouldn't be here for very long

See one minute you're here and the next day ya gone

~~~~

Micah's eyes opened slightly and he squeezed Krys's hand. He looked at her and then to a notebook beside his bed. "I love you, tell everybody that." He said softly. It was hard for him to talk, and it was hard for Krys to see him like this. A few days ago they all thought they were invincible, and now Micah might not make it out of the hospital.
"I will." Krys smiled. He managed to smile a little bit before he closed his eyes again and his heart monitor went on a flat line. Krys was getting ready to yell for a doctor when three of them came rushing in.
"Miss, please head back to your own room." He commanded.
Krys knew that that was the last thing Micah would ever tell her as Vince helped her back to her own room. Summer sat in there with a red rose in her hand. "For you." She smiled weakly.
"Thanks.He told me to tell you he loved you." Krys told her as she climbed back into her bed.
Summer brightened, "Is he awake!!"
Krys burst into tears again, "He's gone." She said through her sobs. Summer hugged her friend and cried also.

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone

One day you're here and then you're gone
Sometimes the world that we live in don't seem so fair or forgiving,
these streets are hard to survive in cause all day you see people
dying and I pray that one day we all see that life ain't promised to
you and life ain't promised to me, never forget this and be clear we
don't know how long we gon' be here

~~~~~~~~

A/N: It would have been longer but this song is extremely short, so I'll try to make the next one longer and less depressing.
