Chapter 4

I looked into his eyes. He looked into mine. We sat there like that for a few minutes until I decided that the silence was too awkward. I looked away and towards the window. Sunlight shining through.

“There’s isn’t much to do here. You can go home if you want. I don’t mind.” I offered. Seriously, have you ever been trapped in a hospital ward with practically anyone at all? It’s very, very excruciatingly boring. I should know.
“Nah… I feel sort of responsible that you got hurt.” I frowned.
“Its not your fault.” His expression solemn.
“It is… If I just-“
“Wane…” Rage pulsed through my veins as I tried to calm myself down. I breathe deeper.
“If I just stopped for a while, this would never have-“
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I SAID ITS NOT YOUR FAULT! I NEVER SAID IT WAS YOUR FAULT! SO JUST SHUT UP!!!” I screamed. It felt good.
He stood there staring at me wide eyed as tears rolled down my cheek. This is so embarrassing. I lied down with a thump and covered my face with the blanket.

-Creak- -Creak-

I could hear the sound of the chair being pushed to my bedside.

-Thump + creak-

As he sat down, the chair creaked under his weight. I could hear him sighing.
“Eve? I’m sorry”
I kept quiet.
“Eve, I’m really sorry.”
“How sorry are you?”
“Very! I’ll do anything if you just forgive me.”
“Answer my question honestly and I’ll forgive you.”
He hesitated a bit. “Okay.”
“Do you still love Rose?”
“A micro bit.”
Stab. Stab. Blood. Ouch. Those words pierced my heart.
“So you lied when you said you didn’t like Rose anymore.”
He kept quiet.
“You were asking me what I said right? I said ‘I can’t believe I actually liked you’ ” I heard him gasp as he realized all the pain he caused me.
“I’m so sorry, Eve.”
“Nah… It’s okay. Do me another favor?”
“Anything.”
”Pretend all the things that have happened before never happened at all. Let’s start over.” I pulled back the blanket and sat up. He looked deep into my puffy eyes and smiled.
“Okay…”
“Hi, I’m Eve.”
“Hi, I’m Wane.”

The hospital had a sort of garden or a small park where patients could walk around. The doctor suggested that I ‘stretched my muscles’, so we went down there for a stroll. We talked and walked, walked and talked. He laughed his big hearty laugh and smiled his glowing smile that touched his eyes. I’ve never seen him that happy before. I’ll admit it. I still like him. But he loves Rose even if it’s only a micro-bit.

Evening soon came.
“Hey, I just remembered something. I brought my iPod. Want to listen to some music?”
“Sure.” I smiled at his friendly gesture. I took the cherry red iPod and plugged my ears. Music filled my soul. I turned up the volume. I couldn’t hear anything else. It was like being in my very own concert.
We continued our stroll around the garden. I breathe in the fresh air. I realized he was fidgeting a lot. I ignored it and continued on. He stopped me for a while and said something. I frowned. All I heard was music; I couldn’t hear what he was saying.
“What?”
Suddenly, he whipped his head back. His expression turned into panic and fear. I saw his lips move. As I took the earphones off, I heard a scream.
“GET HIM!!”
“Get out of my way, girlie!”
I turned around.

-Bang- -Bang-

Two shots fired.
Funny, I could actually feel the bullet pierce through my skin and hit my bone. I put my hand to my shoulder, dropping the iPod on the grass. Blood, lots of it, like apples, cherries… and his iPod. The pain rippled through me as the other bullet broke my rib and tore through the tissue and muscle of my heart. I gasped in pain as my whole body shut down. I could feel the warmth of my face drain away as every drop of blood flowed out, leaving my organs to die. I collapsed. My legs becoming numb as the nerve cells died one by one. “EVE!!” Wane rushed to my side, catching my limp body before it fell. My nose brushed lightly on a blade of grass, inches away from the ground. His hand pulled my face, forcing me to look at him.
“It’s going to be okay. You’re going to be all right” He gasped every word. His eyes wide with worry.
“Someone HELP!!!” I fainted or died, I really don’t know. The rusty smell of blood, still lingering in the air.
All I saw was…

DARKNESS…

“Eve!”
“Eve!”
“Eve!”
“No!”

The next thing I knew, I was standing in the corner or my hospital room. It was empty except for Wane. He was sitting on the bed sobbing. I slowly walked towards him.
“Why are you crying?” I asked. Not looking up, he answered.
“A girl I really cared about, who forgave me again and again for all the pain I’ve caused her, is DEAD!! Some drug addict shot her! She was just recovering from… How could-“ He broke off, sobbing more than ever. I’ve never seen him so sad. He must’ve really loved her.
“Its okay, Wane” That was all I could do. Comfort him. I couldn’t bring her back for him even if I tried. I sat down next to him as he wiped away his tears and looked up. He looked so sad, I wanted to kiss him, make him forget about her. His eyes widened as he realized it was I. He quickly got up from the bed, red puffy eyes staring straight into my muddy brown eyes.
“You- you’re alive! No! You can’t be! I saw you…yo- you were… bleeding!” I frowned.
“Wane, are you okay? What are you talking about?”
“You were shot! The- the drug addict shot you! In your left shoulder and in-in you- your heart!”
“No…” My hand flew to my left shoulder. True enough, there was a hole there. No blood.
“You know I love you right? -Sob- I love you, Eve.” I shook my head slowly.
“You love Rose.”
“I did until I realized all you’ve done for me. All the pain I caused you. And your willingness to forgive me over and over again.”
“I –“ His lips met mine as his hands coiled themselves around my hands, gripping them tightly.
“Wane…” I muttered when he finally pulled away. I looked at my hands, also gripping his hands as tightly as he did mine.
“I love you too.” As I said those four little words, my hands started to fade away. I was fading away.
I heard him shout as he realized what was going to happen.
“NO! DON’T GO! PLEASE!” He fell on his knees, tears spurting from his red, swollen eyes.
“I’m sorry.” I kneeled down with him and held his face to look me in the eye. I smiled, tears rolling down my cheek. I kissed his forehead and said those four words that caused him so much joy and pain at the same time.
“I love you too.”
