(Teine POV)
Everything hurt.. not one piece of my body wasn't in pain.
‘What the hell happened to me? Did I get ran over?
My mind was running a thousand different questions. But nothing was making any sense.
I was screaming inside, trying to get someone to hear me. I was surrounded by darkness.
“Where am I?”
Just as I thought the question. I could hear the door to the room open. The person walked over to the side of the bed and sat down.
“That smell..leather and years of summers working outside..”
Jru…
“Awww my pretty girl.. What is going on? You have to wake up Teine. Wake up so that I can tell you what happened and we can go on.”
He is really upset.. I wonder how long I've been out for.
Almost like he heard me, Jru answered.
“1 week Teine.. You've been sleeping for 1 week. It has been the most painful week of my life, and I've been shot before.”
A week! Why am I not waking up? I'm here..
Again, Jru answers like he heard me.
“ The doctor said it's all up to you. You have to fight Teine.. I know you're hurt and confused. But, I promise you baby, I'll fix this. I promise I'll make it right again.”
Make it right? Make what, right?
and just like that, my head started throbbing. I could feel the pulsing in my brain, but I wasn't giving up this time.
Helll, I'm already in a coma. Might as well push and see what's going on.
So, what I did. I focused on that thought no matter how painful.
What does he need to make right?
Almost immediately, memories play like a movie in my mind.
it hurts, but keep pushing and digging.
Jru walking me home
Jru and I laying in the field behind my parents' house after our first time..
Jru asked me to marry him…
All of the memories were beautiful. i could feel tears rolling down my cheeks as I watched my unknown life replay.0
Then the day came when I'd gone to his house and he was packing.
“Hey ther, handsome!”I greeted Jr, walking into the house.
“ Whatcha doing?Do you needd any help?” I asked.
Hehadn'tt turned around, and hehadn'tt even said hello.
“ Um, I’m sorry - Did I forget your birthday?”
Nothing..hmm, interesting.
“Ok, did I run your dog over or something?”
He stillhadn'tt turned around.
Finally, I had enough of the silence.
Walking up behind him. I circle my hands around his waste and lean my head on his back.
“Jru? What's up? You're scaring me.”
Finally, he slowly turns around. The look on his face is somethingI'vee never seen. He looks.. miserable.
“Jru?”
“ Teine, we need to talk.”
Why did those words sound so final?
“ok…whats up?” I said, trying to sound casual, but I was reakng out inside,
“Teine, I’m leaving….”
