CHAPTER 3 - Shock
Jay is walking to the hospital. He arrives to MayÂ’s room and goes in. A doctor stands next to May and looks a bit worried.
-Oh, doctor
-HiÂ… YouÂ’re Jay, arenÂ’t you?
-Yes
-SheÂ’s been talking about youÂ… Good that you came. Unfortunately you can be here only a little time
-..Why?
-WellÂ… As a matter in fact, her condition is worrying me
-Oh noÂ… WhatÂ’s going on? Is she allright?
-She has a high feverÂ… She was unconciouss earlier, but I think now sheÂ’s just sleepingÂ… Oh, right, she seems to have woken up now. You can talk to her a while
-Okay, thanks doctor
-May, can you hear me?
-Â…
-May?
-Â… HiÂ…
-Feeling sleepy? *smiles gently*
-UmmÂ… A littleÂ… WhatÂ’sÂ… going on?
-You have a feverÂ… ItÂ’s allright. IÂ’m sure it will go away soon
-You.. Think so?
-Yep
-GoodÂ… ThenÂ… I believe youÂ… Jay. H-HeyÂ…
-What is it?
-YouÂ… You havenÂ’t broken your promise, right..?
-Of course not
-ThatÂ’sÂ… good
-Yeah
-Hey, JayÂ…
-Hmm?
-You willÂ… Only love me? Okay? IÂ… Kind of need youÂ…
-Yes, only you, forever. Now, rest. I canÂ’t wait to get to spend time with you
-YeahÂ…
Doctor comes in.
-Okay, Jay. You should go now, I start the examinationÂ…
-OkayÂ… Please, take good care of her
-I will
So Jay leaves, and May stays to watch when he walks away. With her feverish eyes, she saws when he goes out of the roomÂ… She watches him all the time, and when Jay walks away, May still sees him through a mirror in her room.
In the same time, Jay has just entered the aisle after Mays room. He doesnÂ’t know May still sees him.
Suddenly someone bumps into him. ItÂ’s Jane.
-Jane! What-
-I had to see you!
-No, Jane, we are at the hospital-
Jay is trying to take a step forward but Jane blocks him.
-I canÂ’t help it!! Really, I canÂ’t get you out of my mind! Please, give me a chance!
-Shut it, now! This is not the place, we have to-
-No! I CANÂ’T WAIT ANY LONGER!
Jane grabs JayÂ’s hand and kisses him forcefully. After understanding what happens, Jay pushes Jane away and runs away from the aisle, Jane with him. Once they are out of the building, Jay slaps Jane and runs away. He can never love anyone else but May.
But he doesnÂ’t know, that May was there watching. May was there watching, and saw him kissing another girl.
May closes her eyes, but tears keep falling. And it doesnÂ’t stop.
