LEAVE MY LIFE ALONE
Jack was cleaning tears that escaped from his eyes after having the dream about his sister bleeding from her mouth and he could do nothing to help her.
Lily came into the room, she narrowed her eyes at him, "Are you okay Jack?" She asked with concern as she moved closer to him.
He gave her a smile that didn't fool her one bit, "why shouldn't I be fine? Everything is fine."
Lily looked at him skeptical because he didn't look fine to her, his eyes were bloodshot and puffy, with the shadow of hair under his chin, he looked homeless, but she didn't comment about it to him.
She asked him, "Why didn't you tell me of your sister's memorial that is going to take place in two days?" She raised her two fingers to emphasize the two days. "Your mom was telling me about it and I was looking at her like an imbecile Jack, that was kind of embarrassing, you know."
Jack was unhappy that she brought up a sensitive matter, he frowned and turned to leave the hospital room without answering her question.
Lily held his hands and stood in front of him, if you want us to look like a real couple, you need to tell me the important details jack, I don't want to look like a fool to anyone.
Jack inhaled sharply and pinched his nose bridge in frustration, "I will only tell you what I want to tell you, I am only paying you to pretend to be my girlfriend not for you to be my wife."
Lily rolled her eyeballs, "Exactly my point, you are paying me to be your girlfriend, and as your girlfriend, you are supposed to tell me of your sister's memorial."
Jack looked at her squarely with anger in his eyes, "Leave me the hell alone Lily, I don't want to talk to you about my sister or my family, why can't you get the hint and leave me the fuck alone?" He moved her aside and left the room.
Lily was shocked and confused, he had never shouted at her like this, she had never seen him angry before, "why is he angry?"
Lily was hurt by Jack's words, but she knew that he was going through a tough time. She decided to give him some space and let him deal with his emotions in his way.
Jack stomped to the car angrily, ignoring the driver's greeting.
"Give me the keys to the car" he ordered.
The driver, a friendly-looking short man with a broad figure in his early forties, has a round pot belly and a dark mustache on his face, he scratched his head sheepishly, "I brought only one car, which car am I supposed to drive miss Lily back home sir?"
"Are you daft? Call the other driver and tell him to bring another car" he shouted at the driver.
The driver bowed meekly, "I am sorry sir." He gave Jack the keys.
Jack collected the keys, entered the car, and zoomed off.
He drove with no destination in mind, he was driving aimlessly, he drove for a while before coming to a stop at the beachside. This was the beach, his sister loved to visit.
