The Day I Died

We had been talking about everything and anything until Dougie fell asleep. He looked so peaceful when he slept. This was when he was in a temporary sleep, not an eternal slumber. Sorry I missed out part of the story. Let me go back in time to the hospital when Dougie was alive.

Whilst I was watching Doug sleep, the heart rate monitor started to slow down. I looked up at the little screen and I was looking at the numbers going down. Tears started to sting my eyes, whilst all I could do was push the emergency button. The nurses rushed into the room and started to revive him. The tears I was trying to hold in came out. Then I remembered about Tom and Harry. They probably wanted to see Doug before he passed. I was relieved to find that they had managed to revive him and I went to go get the other two. As I walked down the corridors to the relatives room all I could think about is how I almost lost Doug and without even saying goodbye. That thought made tears spring to my eyes. I took a deep breath and opened the door. Both Tom and Harry stood up. Their eyes red from crying. They took one look at me and said
"Danny, what's happened. Please don't tell me that, that Doug..." Tom couldn't get the sentence out so I said
"Don't worry he didn't die. He almost did but they revived him. I feel so bad about leaving you here, to worry so come and stay with me in his room." they nodded and followed me out of the room.
When we walked in Dougie was awake and smiling.
"Hey guys, I was wondering when you were going to come and-" He stopped abruptly and took a sharp breath. You could see the pain he was in. Harry spoke up
"Doug, we just wanted to let you know that you are probably one of the most amazing people we have ever met. We just wanted to let you know that we love you so much you probably don't even know. On the other hand Danny here, loves you even more."
"Guys, I just wanted to thank you. I have had the best time ever in the last few years and gained three friends that anyone would be lucky to have. And if I don't live through this I just wanted to let you know that I love you all too."
"Dougie, this is the hardest for me to say. I love you so much. I love you with all my heart, my soul, and my body. I am so stupid for not telling you earlier. I've loved you since you first walked into the audition all those years ago. Now why didn't I tell you this earlier? Why? Because I was afraid of what you would say. I saw when you brought girlfriends home and it tore me up on the inside. I-I love you so much Doug I just don't want you to go, to leave me." I was crying really hard at this point. I looked up and Dougie was crying too. His heart monitor was slowing down
"I love with all my heart and I don't wanna leave you, but please let me go. I will wait until you grow old and die. Then you can join me." his breathing was getting hard "The one last thing I want you to do before I die." I looked at him dead in the eyes and said
"Anything."
"Kiss me Dan. You will survive without me. You guys too. I love you Tom for you and all the advice you have ever given me and Harry I love you too for just being a great guy."
I came closer to Dougie and kissed him. I kissed him with all I had left in me. He kissed back. It was my dream to kiss Dougie, we started to deepen the kiss but soon after it felt like I was kissing someone that was asleep. I broke away from him and saw his eyes slowly close. I Then heard the drone of the heart monitor on that long solitary note. Dougie my love, my life and my soul was dead.
"No, he can't be gone. No it's not his time." I broke down crying and I looked up to see that Harry and Tom were crying too. The doctors rushed in and tried to bring him back.
"There's nothing we can do to save your friend." The doctor looked at his watch and announced "Time of death 5:47 am."
