She listened and followed me to my room. "What's your name?" I ask her and she perked up.
"I'm Sarah."
I can't believe you let her live, why? Why?
Because she could help me get to Zander. I need to get through to him for once.
I open my bedroom door to find J looking through my room. I glance at Sarah and her eyes widened. "Jace is in your room!" I looked at her and then at Jace.
"Let me guess, you go to our school?" I ask and looks at J. J walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist. I turn to Jace and stare at him. "I told you to meet me by the front door. I know for sure I didn't tell you to trash my room!" He kisses my check to get me to be slience.
"OH MY FRIED CHICKEN, are you two dating?" I laugh but J he looked at me and smiles.
The next thing he say was his death sentence. "Yes, we are actually dating. We been dating for five years now."
Five years? Wait five years. I remember!
Five years ago
The fall dance is coming up but what am I suppose to do. My boyfriend cheated on me! I can't go and I'm not going to go.
Bang bang bang
"Open the door you have to go to school!" My sister called and I walked out of my room. My dad was eating breakfast. My mom was sitting by the front door crying and I gave her a hug.
Right before I walked out to the car I grabbed my gun from my boot and shot a skinny blonde girl. "Bye dad! Love you, Mom!"
It was getting a bit more chilly but all I wanted was to get away from this place. I jumped on my bike and started biking to my school. I parked my bike and ran into the school.
"Hey, Kat!" J said but I walked on by until I was pulled to a stop. "Kat? What happen, what's wrong?"
I looked at him, trying to find the words to say but got tongue-tied. Instead of speaking, I cried.
I want to tell you. He broke up with me. I want to tell you how I feel about you. I like you and I mean more than a friend. It was alway you who I liked and I only wanted you. I wish I could just say this to you but I can't I don't want to break this connection we have.
I lost all of my thoughts when I felt his lips on mine. It didn't last long but it was amazing. When he pulled away he said the words I always wanted to hear.
"I like you." I froze and look at him as he spoke. "I liked you since we were little and I never stopped. I know your boyfriend just broke up with you. I was already told but honestly it is perfect timing because I wanted to take you to the dance. So please, please go with me? I never wanted something this much before."
"I was waiting for you to ask me before I met him. I would be honored to go to the dance with you." He wrapped me in his arms and I smiled.
Maybe we are meant to be together.
Then I came back to the present.
"KAT! Please wake up! I can't lose you. Please be alright, you always been there for me for over ten years. I can't lose you now. I need you." Jace said and held my hand. I was in the hospital.
I faint when I have flashbacks but these time I somehow fell down the stairs. I can hear J talking but also someone crying. I am ok but yet I can't move. What is wrong with me?
"Jace, you got to go to school you been here for months. They are going to pull the plug on her in three hours because her body hasn't been responding." Sarah say and I hear some silent sobs mixed in with it.
"Sarrie, I am not leaving her." J says and I try to speak.
"I am not leaving you either." I don't know if they could hear me. "I hope you can hear me." I opened my eyes. A hint of relief spread over my body. I tried to sit up but feel back on the pillow.
"Could you help me?" They grabbed me by the sides and pushed me so my back is against the wall. I never felt happier in my whole life to have people like them with me.
"Thank you." They look shocked. I guess I been here for awhile. "Thank you for staying with me even though you guys didn't have to. I am so glad to have you guys in my life. I don't know what I would do without." I was telling the truth but if I knew what would happen next.
I would've never said it.
Day 1 Letter from J
Dear Kat,
How are you? I hope everything is ok for you. I'm sorry that you can't see me before I die. At least that what I think is going to happen to me. I can't believe how fast things change. It was just yesterday when I sat with you praying that you'll be ok. I was so happy when you woke up. I felt like I could breathe again.
During that day, I said something when you were unconscious and I didn't know if you could hear me. I don't want to be apart from you and you would never guess the reason why.
It's because I like you. I like you more than the stars in the sky. More than the grains of sands on all the beaches in the world. I like you so much that even when I am trying to think about something else. You would always pop inside my head. I know you can't hear me say this to you in person but it's true. I do like you. A lot more than I like to admit.
I just wanted to say this in person and I guess I would never be able to.
Xoxo,
J
