Hollis grabbed Leon's hand, realizing how tiny his own hand was compared to his older brother's. His grip merely grew tighter as he acknowledged this fact with pursed lips. He interlocked their fingers without hesitation and mumbled softly, his voice shaking, "Please wake up, Leon. We can't lose you now... not now, not ever." Hollis watched as Leon's barrel chest rose and fell in rhythm with the slow beeping of the heart monitor. "Jermaine loves you. Myles loves you. I love you." Tears slipped from Hollis's eyes as he lowered his head onto his brother's chest, hopefully not for the last time.
