O.k, I am updating :) Yay me!
Phil was gob-smacked. Mrs Teslow couldn't do that. Doctor Shepherd came in and Phil tried to plead.
"Please, Keely, she, she's recovering. She'll wake up soon. I know she will. Mrs Teslow hasn't seen Keely; she doesn't know how well she's doing. Please, you can't do this" Phil sobbed mournfully, "Please let me talk to her, please!"
"There is nothing that you can tell her that we haven't. She has put together the facts and has decided that Keely should be taken off life support. She thinks that it is better for everyone that Keely ends now, instead of waiting and worrying for, what could be, years."
"Who's everyone!" Phil was shouting now, "Her 'friends' that don't visit, her relatives who 'try to stay in touch' or her mother who is getting tipsy in wherever because that what happens when Keely's mom is on 'work conferences'." Phil paused for breath.
"Philip," Dr. Shepherd looked at Phil, "Just how much sleep have you been having? We can barely let the decision of someone's life rest in the hands of a young boy. Now, I know you like Keely, but it's her mother's decision. If you want, you can talk to Mrs Teslow after the…mortem, and offer her words of encouragement." Phil was fuming. The doctor was talking to him like he was six, not sixteen. Tears fled down Phil's cheek. Phil sighed and went back to his resting place next to Keely. He held her hands tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek,
"I'll miss you, Keels. I know you're strong, fight back. Please don't die, please." Phil was talking louder now, he didn't care that the doctors, the nurses and even Pim could hear him, "Keely, I don't, you can't die, not before I tell you I love you. Please be strong, please"
Just as he spoke these words, the noise from the life support turned off. The heart machine gave its last few beeps. Dr Shepherd glanced down at his watch,
"Time of Death-" But the heart machine carried on beeping, steady, strong beats. Phil was over the top ecstatic, the doctors were amazed.
"She…I can't believe it, she can survive without the machine. Well, I don't think that's the first time you saved her life" Dr Hydes told him. The hospital staff left the room and only Pim was in there.
"Hey, Phil," she said quietly, "You never read her diary, did you?" Phil shook his head.
"Oh, because she thinks the same way about you, the whole love thing." On that note, Pim left the room. Phil looked back at Keely. He didn't notice it, but a tear slid down her cheek and rolled off her chin.
Yay! Chapter done!
