Jude
It's Saturday and someone came to the house saying we need to visit someone at the hospital
I am confused, I didn't know any of my friends were at the hospital
I left Jonah at the daycare to play since children below eight years old can't go inside the hospital unless they're patients
Where the hell are we fucking going? We've been walking for too long
"We are here sir" the driver said
I entered the room and it was full of life support equipment
I can see a thin person lying on the bed
"Ahh, hi? Are you awake?" I tried to talk with a low voice
"Who?" A raspy weak voice asked
"It's Jude" I reply
"Ju-Jude?" The person started to cry and tried to look at me "I'm sorry"
"Hey, what are you talking about?" walking towards the side of the bed
"I-It's me Sarah"
I stood frozen when she said that, it's a name I'll never forget, it's a name that hunts me every day and night
"Please listen to me Jude, I'm sorry for what I've done, as you can see I'm paying for all of it right now, I just wanted to apologize before I go, to set things right and please be happy, Nate loves you more than anyone else, I'm sorry for stealing four years of your happiness"
I'm speechless, I couldn't process whatever is happening right now, after four years... Four. Whole. Fucking. Years.
"Jude, I'm really, really sorry-" she started to shake fervently
"What's going on?! Ahh... Nurse!! Anyone!! Help!!!!" I nervously called out
People in white entered the room in a rush and started reviving her
I...
I feel like I'm about to pass out
Everything seems to be in a slow motion
Tears blurring my vision
My heart's aching
I didn't wish for any of these to happen
I just wanted to feel loved and be needed
Is it wrong of me to demand something like that?
I'm terrified they will take Jonah away from me
He's the only one keeping me sane
He is my world
