24- bad news

 

Rain pats on my room window. The sound is soothing, but the silence around scares me.

"Dan, yes?" A nurse said walking in. Today was the first day that Kyle had actually left my side, so it feels good to hear someone's voice. The silence killed me.

I nod, "Ya. I'm Dan. Dan is me."

The nurse smiled, but her smile disappeared just as easily as it had appeared once she looked down at her clipboard, "Daniel, I have some news."

"It's no good, is it...?"

She shakes her head, "The car accident had damaged your brain so badly, that it will only function until next Sunday. Once your brain cells start 'spazing' out, your cells will die and your brain will stomp functioning, shutting down your body organs, sadly shutting down your heart. I am so, so sorry."

I shake my head, "No. It's fine, I needed to know."

The nurse gives my a sympathetic frown, then walks out, leaving me to be eaten away by pain, silence, and the rain once more.
