Gina

I couldn't cope, I couldn't think about this, I was going to lose my best friend. I've known her almost all my life and now without even being able to do anything, having no control over it I was going to lose her.

As long as her parents agreed it was time to say goodbye and to 'pull the plug'.

They hated me anyway, they blamed me for her being in this mess. I didn't mean for this to happen, but I don't blame them for blaming me after all I blamed myself for her being in the coma.

I just wished I could save her, but I couldn't because I didn't know how to.

Or at least I didn't think I could.

I sat by her and held her hand, they told me since they were phoning her parents, until they find out she'll still be on life support and then when they come to her if they agree to it, then it would be another couple of hours before they 'pull the plug' on her.

As I held her hand I slowly fell asleep, my head falling onto the bed next to Millie's arm, my hand still in her as I fell into a deep sleep.

As I woke up in a strange place, I looked around and frowned as I clearly didn't recognise anything. Or anyone.

I was surrounded by people I didn't know, then I turned to see the one person I did know and I smiled. Millie.

My eyes were selling with tears as I ran to hug her.

"How?" I asked, "how is this happening when you're in a coma?"

"It was the only way I could talk to you. I've heard everything that you've said, this is not your fault, don't ever think that no matter what my parents say alright? Your my best friend, you would never hurt me."

"Where am I?" I asked.

"I'm not sure, I think it's just a random town." Millie giggled. Then she stopped and looked serious. "I know this is going to be hard but you need to trust me, do you trust me?"

"Of course I do how could I not?"

"Okay, well, that reflex, moving of my hand or whatever, they said it was a sign of me getting worse, it wasn't." She simply said.

"So you're getting better?" I asked hopefully, grinning, but she shook her head.

"No, it was me telling you something in a way I didn't know how to."

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"Telling you, that you need to let me go, it's okay you can move on, I want you to be happy. You're like my sister, but I have to go I'm not going to get any better alright? Just please," she whispered, "let me go."

"I can't you're my best friend if you go how will I be able to find someone just like you?" I asked, as tears ran down my face.

"Believe me, you'll find someone, I know it. They'll be your soul mate, your kindred spirit."

"Do you know them?" I asked.

"Let's just say I had a dream one time where we met a guy and he had a powerful father, and he just seemed like you'd meet someone like him." She replied.

"I have to do this, don't I?" She only nodded, and I hugged again, "I can't believe I'm going to do this. I don't want to lose you." I chocked on my tears, Millie just wiped a year away and hugged me again.

"You can do this, you have to let me go, I know they're going to do it but you have to accept it, it's the best thing to do for me, you know I'll always be there, alive or not." She whispered, then pointed at my heart.

Before I could say anything else I woke up with a jolt, still holding her hand.

I kissed her head, like a sister would with a sibling, and mumbled, "Goodbye Millie."

With that I left and by the time I left the room her parents were going into the room and I knew it was time, that they had agreed to it. I nodded at them and said,

"I'm so sorry it's all my fault, if it wasn't for me she wouldn't be here." Her mother sighed.

"This is not your fault sweetheart you're her best friend you'd never hurt her intentionally. You didn't even do this you tried to save her, you got her out of there. You know we have to do this right?" She asked, I nodded. "We really don't want to do this, but the doctors said she wasn't going to get any better."

"I know, but she deserves to be somewhere where she can be with others that she knows than not being able ever to wake up and not being able to communicate except in reflexes sometimes." I said, "at least she'll be at peace, I know it."

"How do you know." Her parents asked.

"I just know it in my heart." I whispered, smiling at them.

They smiled back at me and then hugged me. I closed my eyes before I heard two people walk up to me then,

"Honey it's going to be okay." It was my mom.

I let go of Millie's parents and ran to hug mine, they let me cry in their arms.

"You're doing the right thing, I know it's hard but at least she won't be suffering." My dad said, I sighed shakily.

"I don't know what I'm going to do without her, she's been with me through everything and now she's about to leave me and I have no one." I whispered.

"You'll make new friends, honey, I promise, but for now you have us okay? You know you can tell us anything and we would never judge you." My mom said, kissing the top of my head.

I smiled, "yeah I know, that's why I love you guys."

"And that's why we love you, apart from the fact that your our daughter and we would love you either way but still you know what we mean."

I giggled, "yeah I know mom, you guys are the best parents a girl could have."

My parents smiled sadly at me, as if they weren't telling me something, as if they were keeping a secret from me. But I ignored it, my parents would never lie to me I thought, would they? I swallowed hard and waited outside the room where Millie was until they came out of the room and told us, she was gone.

And just like that I had lost my only friend.

When arrived back home I cried into my pillow for hours and hours until my parents finally shouted me down for my dinner.

I sighed as I wiped my tears away and walked downstairs where I saw my parents smiling sadly at me. I again ran into my mother's  arms and broke down, she kissed my head and whispered quietly into my ear trying to soothe me and calm me down.

"Oh baby." She whispered, "it's okay, shh, it's going to be okay." She said.

"come on let's get you your dinner honey," my dad said kissing my forehead, smiling at me.

I smiled back at them and thanked them for my dinner once I had finished.

"I'm going to have an early night, I need sleep, my head is sore."

My mother nodded and smiled, "alright, sleep well honey, you know we're here if you need us at all." She kissed my cheek, and I went back upstairs and closed my eyes and slowly started falling asleep.

Before I fell asleep I thought of that dream Millie was telling me about in that dream about us meeting a guy, but she said it ended and she could hardly remember the dream.

And funnily enough when I fell asleep, I had a dream, and it was strangely like Millie described but it was like a continuation of a dream that felt familiar to me and not just from what Millie said but it felt like I had a dream like this before I just didn't remember it.

It went something like this;

We were walking for so long it felt like days but it was really merely hours.

I was walking with Millie and the boy, I couldn't remember his name but I smiled at Millie.

"So why are we walking again?" I asked the boy.

"We need to get away from my father, he'll hurt you." He said. "Believe me, he's been doing it for all my life."

"What did you do?" Millie and I asked in unison.

"My mother died when I was a baby, in childbirth since I was born he blamed me for her death, he managed to get this dark magic and became powerful and promised he'd do anything to stop me from getting someone and he'd kill me."

"I'm so sorry." He shrugged.

"It's not your fault. I don't get why people say sorry when it's not their fault. I hate him, always have always will, the feelings mutual especially because of the way he treated me when I was younger."

"I didn't mean it like that, it just means that I wish it wouldn't have happened to you, no one deserves that. I don't know what would happen if someone I loved died." I said it without thinking. Of course in this case Millie was still alive but it was like I forgot she died.

"It's fine really." He said and sat down on a log, "it was nice meeting you but we should go our separate ways, if I go with you any longer my father will catch up and try and kill you as well as me because you're with me."

I reached out to stop him but he was walking far too quickly for me to reach him.

He was gone, and something in my heart felt like part of me was gone. I didn't even remember his name and he was gone.

Then I woke up and I realised once again that Millie was gone, and there was nothing I could do about it.
