“Look at me” John said and lifted his wife’s chin as he continued: “everything will be all right. We’ll get through this, together.” She smiled widely when she heard those words but mostly, together. She wished she could have found him so long ago, and she wouldn’t have suffered as much as she did when her husband left her and Jake got worst. Tears kept streaming down her face and she buried her face into his chest as he rubbed her back and soothed her. She suddenly let go of john’s strong grip, when she heard a slight moan. She looked over at Jake and sniffled a little bit as she saw him slightly moving. Jake blinked a few times, before taking his hand to the back of his head. He still felt a little nauseous and was shivering cold.
“Oooh, Jake I’m so glad you’re ok. You scared me, well us for a while.” John helped Jake get to the coach really slowly. When he lay on the coach, he remembered about grace. He couldn’t leave her waiting. He had to leave. He immediately stood up but his mom stopped him before he could even give the first step.
“Jake you can’t go, not after what just happened.”
“Mom, you don’t understand I have to go.” He said desperate ready to take his jacket when his mother stopped him once again.
“I’m sure she’ll understand once you explain. But for now, you need to rest.” She said strong not letting go of her grip with her eyes fixed upon his. Although she knew how important this was, she couldn’t let him go. She couldn’t take it; to think something might happen to him and she wouldn’t be there to help him.
“Yeah and tell her what? That I…”
“Don’t even dare to say it, because it won’t happen. You said it yourself.” she cut him off with tears in her eyes. It was hard for her to even think about that possibility, no matter how true she knew it was she couldn’t accept it. It was just a matter of time.
“I know but what was I supposed to say? I know its true; and that it will happen, it’s just matter of time. I don’t want her to treat me like a kid and to keep worrying about me every second. I want to live a normal life for the first time. I don’t want her to slowly push me away, like everyone else did, just because of… this! How many times do I have to say it to make it clear for you to understand what I’m feeling?” she let go of her grip, crying even harder, now knowing that by trying to protect him, she had just made his life miserable; but she couldn’t help it, she didn’t want him gone like everyone else that she held so dearly has. What about what she was feeling every time he lay in bed with high fever or every time he be in the bathroom throwing up. Jake sighted and cursed under his breath, knowing it wasn’t her fault; it was no one’s fault. He just couldn’t help wonder what it felt to be a normal guy; go out and party, hang out with your friends on a Friday night or even have a girlfriend. Maybe that was the reason he understood grace so much; and all he wanted was for her to have everything he didn’t have. He hugged her mother tightly as she cried even more with a soft sob but unstoppable tears. Not only he was the one tired and sick, but everyone around him as well and for that he sometimes wished everything would be over once and for all.
sooo what do you think?? be honest!!!
