Ty stared at Sky. The other males statement as unbelievable and Ty found himself chuckling at how weird it sounded. Sky watched Ty laugh, smiling that his friend was feeling more light hearted then he was a few moments ago.
"I still can't believe that", Ty said smiling. "You sure that actually happened?"
"I swear, what I told you is what I saw", Sky said sadly.
"Well, I'll, uh, get you something to drink, or eat", Sky said as he got up, moving to the door.
Sky stopped for a moment on his way to the door. "Also, in case you're worried. Songbird's sleeping downstairs. We didn't want him to see you like this", Sky said.
"Thank you", Ty replied.
He watched as Sky left. His smiled disappeared when the door shut. He looked down at his covers and repeated what Sky had said in his head.
'"Well it all started when Husky said you didn't want to wake up this morning. So Ian tried and got no results, and even when I tried you wouldn't wake up. But just as I was leaving you started whimpering, at first, I was concerned so I came a little closer to your bed. I was just about to shake your shoulder when you started screaming, it scared me so much I fell down. Even when I had recovered you were still screaming, and crying. This awful wailing, that drilled into my skull and brain. The others came up to see what was going on, but no one had any clue how to make you wake up, or stop you screaming and crying. We argued about it for ages, it seemed. That was until you stopped screaming. Seto came over to you, your whole face had lost its color. But what really scared all of us was that you weren't breathing. Like, at all. Then Seto started crying. He said you had no pulse, that you were dead. He announced it to everyone and ran out of the room crying. We were all quiet for a time, but eventually the rest left to their bedrooms, or outside, or just somewhere other than here. I just pulled up your desk chair and started crying by your bed. And, even now, it's incredible to know you're alive. Before you woke up I was actually contemplating…joining you on the other side. But now I can put those thoughts to rest and have my best friend back."'
Ty sighed as he replayed the conversation over in his head another time. It all seemed so unbelievable, but by now he could and would believe anything. Considering that the figure's presence in his life had been growing, Ty guessed he only had a month or even a couple of days before Sky's story became real. The prospect of death seemed a little less frightening when he finally accepted that he was, indeed, going to die soon.
