CHAPTER 9
I sat in the room. It was dark except for all the machines lighting up, keeping Joe alive. Denise and Paul had left with Frankie about an hour ago, and so did everybody else. I hadn't moved since then. I just sat and stared The nurses didn't even bother asking me to leave cause the knew, by now, I would just sneak in. The hospital was bustling, but I felt so cold and alone. The lifeless body of Joe just laying there.
"Was this fate, was this supposed to happen?"
It just kept running through my head.
"Maybe me and Joe weren't ment to be."
I couldn't believe what I was saying, but yet I could. Joe had such a different life then me. His mom and dad were so supportive, and me.....well...... I had an abusive father, and a mom that didn't even try to act like she care. Car was the only mom I had ever had, but it was time for her to start her own life. I had always been like her daughter, but know it was time for her to move on and start her family, and I knew it, but it killed me. He was so funny and outgoing. I was very quite and shy. The saying opposites attract......yea that was an understatement for me and Joe. We lived in two different worlds. He was a rock star, and me I was a cashier at a local grocery store. Girls flew to him, guys flew away from me. Our lives were so separate, and maybe thats the way it's supposed to be. Was this God's message to me. This has been like a dream, but maybe it's time for me to wake up. I mean look at me I'm just a simple home town girl, and he well......... he's everything a girl could ever dream of. Maybe I just don't deserve this.
I can't say I fell out of love with Joe that night, but I sure did realize what I had. It all caught up to me in a blink of an eye. I had what any girl would die for, and I was about to have what every little girl dreams about A huge beautiful wedding with the perfect man. Maybe this incident was just a shove back into reality for me.
"I don't deserve this. There are so may other girls that deserve Joe more then me. He is a perfect man, and me. I'm far from that." The words bounced through my mind.
That hour I just sat in the dark room thinking. My eyes were glassed over, and my face showed no emotion. My mind was running faster then I could think. Memories shot through, but so did that fact of reality. Joe and I had more memories then anyone, but the fact is he is lying in a bed dying. I might lose another part of my heart, and I just don't know if i can handle that. My mom dies a while ago, and my dad he was nothing but an animal in my eyes, and he fact of losing Joe was killing me faster then he was dying. I had the hardest decision of my life flash before me. should I stay here beside the man of my dreams, and find out I am just gonna lose him, or I could go home and move on with my life but possibly lose everything I live for, Joe. I knew at home no one would be waiting for me, but I didn't not one to have to berry my fiance.
That night was the hardest out of all the nights. I climbed into bed with Joe knowing it would probably be the last time. The monitors beeping like huge machines above me. I layed my back by his chest, and looked out the window. The stars glowed outside, and that was the only thing given me warmth that night, and that gave me my decision. I turned around, my eyes staring at Joe's closed eyes. A tear fell off my cheek landing on the bed, and glistening up at me. I bit my lip, and ran my fingers through his hair. Everything about him was just so perfect, right down to his nose. I sat there waiting, hoping one last time that he would wrap his arms around me, pulling me close letting me listen to his heart beat, and telling me how perfect our life was going to be, just like the night he asked me to marry him. I sat there hopping just like I had done my whole life. You know Hopping to get a job, good money, a nice house, but most of all finding someone that could truly say they loved me. My whole life I had waited, but know I realize all the time i had wasted hoping. My life had flashed before my eyes, and I didn't even take the time to stop and breathe. I was so eager to leave my life, find someone that loved me and I did, but look at me. I let my heart pour our to him, and know he's leaving. Maybe I just got to comfortable. Had I fallen to hard for something that even I knew could never happen. Everyone that had ever had a piece of my heart had tore it away from me. Why shouldn't he?
I stood up the whole night. Thoughts flooding my mind. Tear stains down my cheeks, pointing to a pool on Joe's chest. The hardest moment of my life had smacked me in the face, and I finally knew what I had to do. My decision was set, and there was no turning back, even if it did kill me inside and out.
CHAPTER 10
The next morning took what felt like forever to come. I moved my body off of the hard hospital bed, and onto the squishy hospital chair right next to the window. My knees were pulled into my chest, and I rested my chin on them just staring at Joe. No noises phased me , my eyes were glued on him in that one position. I wasn't thinking about anything, I had already made my decision last night, but I was just hopping that maybe he would jump up and say April Fools or something like that. But he never did.
It was about 8:00 a.m. when everyone rolled in. Taylor walked arm in arm with Nick smiling and both just staring at each other. Car and Kev walked in, hands intertwined, laughing, each holding a starbucks. I missed those moments so much. Those moments that are so small, but make you feel the best. The simplicity of holding hands, but it still sends chills down your spine. I wanted that back, those moments, more then anything in the world.
"Hey Bri, we brought you a coffee," Car said running up to me, holding a starbucks frappucino right in front of my face. Sweat driplets fell off of it landing on my bare legs, sending chills up my spine, and they hairs all over my body standing on end. I didn't say a word I just stared at her, her bright green eyes staring right back.
"Bri, what's the matter," she said tilting her head and looking very concerned.
"Sit down, I need to talk to you guys."
Everyone found a chair, except for Taylor of course. There was an open seat right next to Nick, but she slid her tiny body right on top of his. I couldn't even look at them, for some reason it made my stomach turn.
I made my way over to the side of Joe's bed. Placing my hand on his forehead and looking at everyone. I moved my hand from his head, and grabbed my finger, slowly sliding the sparkling eengagementring off. I held it between my fingers as I started to choke up. This was it. I looked up just as Car's hand slid up covering her mouth and kev's grasped her thigh. I could see the tears swelling up in her eyes. This was going to be the hardest thing I would ever have to explain.
Nick and Taylor were off in there own little world, just staring lovingly into each others eyes.
"Hey Nick and Taylor," there eyes moved from each other staring at me,"Can I talk to Kev and Car."
"Of course Bri," Nick said running up and giving me a hug. He grabbed my shoulder and pushed my body away from his. He lookedme dead in the eye. I looked over his shoulder Taylor's eyes were glued on me. "I love you no matter what" Tears started to fill my eyes as I nodded my head. Nick walked over to Taylor. A tear fled from her eyes as she mouthed, "I love you." I nodded and started to cry as I watched them walk out of the door. I looked at Car, tears were pouring down her eyes, and Kevin was trying to wipe them away.
"Car, I love you so much, you have always been like a mother to me," a small smile grew across her face," and I can't thank you enough for that, but....." I started to choke up, and I could feel my lip curling. " You need to move on, start your own life with Kevin," she shook her head at me, tears like rivers running down her face. "Yes, I have been holding you back, and it's time for you and me to move on. I love you so much and I can't thank you enough for everything, but me, I need to go. I need to spread my wings and learn how to fly on my own. You were always there to protect me, but I need to become something on my own."
I raised my hand wipping the tears from my eyes so I could see.
Car just stared at me, shocked at the words coming out. I turned facing Joe's lifless body, with the beautiful ring lying next to his head. "I love you so much," I could barley talk let alone stand. I felt so weak and my stomache was in my throat. I was barely breathing, "and......I just can't watch you wither away, it hurts to much. You have my heart, and if I don't leave I know it will die with you. i can't live knowing the man that I love died, but I might be able to not knowing wether or not." I felt a hand grasp my shoulder. I turned facing a red eyed kevin.
"You don't have to do this," I smiled and looked at him, " No really, I do."
I turned back facing Joe I slid my finger over his entire body, until I reached his lips. I moved my fingers and kissed him one last time. I was still in love with this man, but I couldn't deal with the pain anymore. I slid my cheek down his until my mouth landed at his ear. "I love you, and always will," I whispered.
I turned around facing kevin and Car, who were now standing balling, holding each otehr in there arms. I choked up the final words I could say to them, "I love you, and thank you."
I walked out the door of Joe's room, behind me I left my life, my everything. I heard crying, but for once it wasn't from me. I made it down the hall, it felt like I was in a dream, just walking a never ending hallway. Until I reached the entrance door, It slid open, bursting fresh cold air, on my hot chaped face. It was like a fesh life was poured into me. So I ran, never looking back. Never wanting to look back, I jut ran as fast as I could. Shedding my old life, getting rid of everything that had held me back, but my memories, I knew, would always be there for me to fall back on. Next thing I knew I was on a plane heading back to Detroit, starting my new, adventrous life. Nothing could hold me back
Here is a chapie from my second story Black and Blue
CHAPTER 1
"Nick don't touch me," she screamed.
"Kev tell Nick to stop poking me with the stick," she said running over to Kevin grabbing his arm. Her name was Lauren, and she had been our neighbor for as long as I could remember. She had long brown almost black curly hair. It was pulled to the side with a blue flower that matched her gorgeous blue eyes. She wore a light blue flowery sun dress that layed right at her knees, with a pair of white sandals and frilly white socks. She always looked so pretty.
"Nick stop poking Lauren," Kev said grabbing heron the shoulder, and staring me down.
"You know Kev your only 10, you can't tell us what to do," Joe piped in running away from Sofie. Sofie was our long time friend form church and Lauren's best friend.
"Joe shut up," Joe stopped din his tracks sliding on the dirt.
"O, Im telling mom."
"No don't," Kevin started chasing Joe, hopping to tackle him before he got to our mom.
Sofie stooped about two inches before she hit Lauren, and gave her a big hug.
"I made you something," Sofie said handing Lauren a big crinkled up piece of paper. Lauren took it and started to unravel it. It was two people walking hand in hand.
"Who is it," Lauren asked
"It's you and Nick.....sittin in a tree K.I.S.S...."
"Stop," Lauren said chasing Sofie right out of our yard.
"Lauren what happened to your arm," I said staring at a black and blue bruise the looked kinda like a hand print.
"I fell out of that tree," she said pointing to nothing.
"O, you fall alot," I said walking over to her.
"Lauren, home now," a voice echoed form her house.
"Ok," she screamed.
"See ya Nick."
"Lauren I said now," it was her dad. He was very mean and always scared me.
"I have to go now, bye," she said while running into her front door.
I had just turned six, and I loved my house, my friends, basically everything I had. I didn't know how my life could get much better
10 Years Later
"Nicholas were home," my mom said shaking my shoulder. I stretched out my arm holding my pillow hitting Joe right in the face.
"Joe, wake up were home."
"No,I don't want to be home."
"Joe, up, now," Kevin said kicking the side of Joe's mattress.
"Fine, but if I'm not beautiful it's all your fault."
"Whatever Joe," I said climbing out of my bed, and out of the bus. Finally, I was back home. I saw my beautiful old house, as the cold air hit me in the face. We had just finished our Burning Up Tour, and I was so ready to be back home in New Jersey. Paparazii cameras flashed everywhere, but I saw someone a familiar face in the huge crowd.
"Lauren," I yelled in a questionable way. She turned her attention twoards me, and a huge toothy grin spread across her face. She walked forward her long brown hair was straightened, and she wore an electric blue dress with black leggings that grazed over her petite figure. Here eyes sparkled a deep blue color that was mezmorizing. She wore high heels that made her a little bit taller, but not much. She was only 4'11, but still beautiful. As she walked towards me her hair blew in the wind, and her eyes filled with tears. She started to pick up the pace until finally she ran right into my arms. I wrapped my arms around her, as the feeling of her touching me sent chills down my spine. I felt like we were the only two people in the world. I hadn't seen her in almost 5 years, but I had fallen for her, hard.
After about two minutes of sitting and huge. I let my arms losing up from her, and my arms grabbed her shoulders and I pushed her back from me. I looked at her from head to toe, not knowing what to say, she was absolutely gorgeous there was no denying that. I was just so shocked at how much she was able to change in 5 years. She looked at me right in my eyes,with her beautiful smile across her face.
I leaned in and whispered in her ear"Lets go get coffee."
She nodded as I put my arm around her leading her into the car, next thing I knew we were at the coffee shop ordering. I hadn't taken my eyes off of her the whole time as she recapped what happened in the last five years.
" So My mom dies about 2 years ago," I stopped her right there.
"What," I said shocked,"your mom died, what happened?"
"Ummm.......well.....It was kind of a freak accident, she fell down the stairs and broke her neck."
I didn't really believe what she was saying, but I didn't really want to get into it. I could see the tears swelling up in her eyes, this was obviously hard for her.
"So now do you just live with your dad," I asked.
"Yup"
All of a sudden her phone rang. It played Hello Beautiful. I got a huge smile across my face, as she began to blush. She looked down at her phone and her smile turned into a frown.
"Speaking of the devil," she got up from her chair walking over to the door. She looked so gorgeous. I watched her as her beautiful figure swayed from side to side while she walked . She started to make had motions, and yell into the phone. She slammed it shut and walked over. I couldn't tell what she was saying, but there was no smile across her face now.
"I have to go," she said grabbing her stuff quick.
"Why," I said standing up, and looking shocked.
"I just , I just," she said trying to grab her stuff quickly. I grabbed her arm, and she turned and looked at me in a shocked way. Tears were forming in her eyes. There was something the matter, but I knew she didn't want to talk about it.
"I'll walk you home," I said. A huge smile grew across her face, as I intertwined my fingers with hers. I felt like I was exactly were I was supposed to be.Paparazii flashed there cameras as we walked out the door. Screaming at me asking me who the new girl was. I ignored them, it was like it was just me and Lauren in my own little world, and that was exactly were I wanted to be.
