6 months. Half a year had passed since Jack's accident. And he still hadn't woken up.

As he spent more and more time asleep, I got more and more worried about one thing: his life support. Every day I grew more and more anxious that I would get a call from the hospital telling me that he'd have to be taken off it or I'd have to make a choice about wether to keep him on life support or not.

In that case, I didn't know what I would have to do. Obviously, I wanted him to live because I didn't want to lose him. I loved him and he meant the world to me. I didn't want his life to end. But then again, it would be cruel to keep him on life support as he would most likely suffer from long-term damage for the rest of his life. If he ended up paralysed, I'm pretty sure he would rather die anyway.

I knew it wouldn't be long before the hospital staff asked me. So I prayed every single day that he would wake up and be ok, so I wouldn't recieve that call, so I wouldn't have to make that decision. I sure as hell didn't want the staff to make that decision for me.

Because of the difficult times I was in, I resorted to uploading only one video a week. I didn't have the energy or motivation to make any more than that. My subscribers knew what was going on. I didn't make a video about it. I thought there was no point because I knew I'd break down every time I'd try to record. So the day after the accident, I tweeted out about it.

The fans understood that I didn't particularly want to upload every day like I normally would. I was thankful that nobody was mad at me. Mark also changed his uploading schedule, doing a video every two days instead of releasing a video daily. Again, his fans were very understanding of the situation.

I was sitting on my couch, watching the TV. I had just uploaded a new video. A very short one, only just reaching the 5 minute mark. I mostly saw love and support in the comment section, with a few people saying how they wished my videos were a bit longer, at least 10 minutes long, but they understood.

I planned on calling Mark to check up on him, as he hadn't uploaded in nearly a week, which was strange for him. I grabbed my phone off my coffee table and scrolled through the contacts and found Marks. As I was about to push the button to call him, another caller popped up on the screen. Somebody was trying to contact me. I looked at the name that was being displayed.

"Oh no."

It was the hospital Jack was staying at. I answered and held the phone up to my ear, praying that they were calling to say he had woken up.

"H-hello?"

"Hello, is this Felix Kjellberg?"

"Yeah. Is there an issue?" My heart was beating rapidly. I felt like I was going to be sick.

"You don't need to answer now, but I need to ask you a question."
