MNL-Chapter 27

I actually cried when I wrote this chapter....

Chapter 27

I awoke in bed next to my little brother. He wasn’t sleeping like I thought he would be. He looked over at me worriedly. I patted his head to assure him that I was going to be okay. I knew I wasn’t really.

I got up from the bed, but Mason grabbed my hand. “I know you’re not okay. Mom and Dad are worried about you. What happened to you? Alex is really worried. He even took off work because he is too worried. He is downstairs and he is waiting for you. Please talk to us, Aubrey?”

“I just can’t open up.” I said looking down at the ground. I left Mason in the room. I could tell he started to cry. He hated when I didn’t tell him anything. I couldn’t tell him about what happened. I couldn’t tell Alex either. I don’t want to tell anyone. I know Jonathon is going to get in trouble for breaking the restraining order. I could tell his personality is off.

I walked downstairs. My father was sitting in the chair with Alex on the couch. They were silent and just looking at the TV. I was wondering what they were watching. They didn’t notice me because they were both watching Football. I should have known that’s what they were watching. They are men after all.

I heard a knock on my door. My father jumped up to get the door and he almost ran into me. “Dad, be careful.”

“Aubrey, I’m glad you’re awake.” He said as he got the door. “What are you doing here? You shouldn’t be here.”

“Please let me talk to Aubrey! It’s really important please.” I heard Michelle’s voice. It sounded like she was crying hard. I walked over to the door way and she ran into my arms. She was crying hard. I didn’t know what to do. I was shocked she even came to me. I knew I had a lot of things to say to her. They wouldn’t be so pleasant, but I hate seeing people cry even if it was my worst enemy crying in my arms.

I just pulled her into a hug like I would do to Nicole. She wasn’t calming down so I walked her over to my couch. She was in my arms still crying really hard. “What’s wrong, Michelle?”

I never thought I would hear those words coming out of my mouth. Michelle still wasn’t calm down, but she told me. “J-Jonathon is in t-the h-hospital. H-he’s dying...”

“WHAT?!”

“He wants to die. He doesn’t want to live in the world anymore. He sent me a goodbye forever text. He said he hurt you and he didn’t want to live. Please come with me to the hospital. You know he still loves you. I just can’t go by myself. You are the only one I have to go with me. I’m sorry for all the mean things that I have said to you or did to you! I just need someone. Please come with me.”

“I’ll go with you, Michelle.” I said. I was surprising myself. Alex looked uneasy when I said I would go with her. I don’t know if she was tricking me into believing her or she was telling the truth. I don’t know what to believe. Alex stood up and got my coat for me. I knew he wanted to come because he didn’t want to leave me alone with Michelle.

She was still crying really hard when we left my house. My father and mother were shocked that I was going to go with her. I didn’t tell Alex or Michelle what had happened between us. I don’t know if Michelle wants to hear what happened. I knew she wouldn’t be able to take it right now.

We got to the hospital and we went to Jonathon’s room. Michelle was right about him dying. He looked so weak when I saw him lying in the hospital bed. He had so many bandages and everything. His chances looked bleak. I knew he was probably injured eternally. He had both of his eyes open. He looked at me. He had a sad look in his eyes.

He reached out for my hand. I grabbed his into mine. I didn’t think Alex minded because Jonathon was dying and he was my first love. I knew Alex understood this. Tears started to fall down my cheeks.

“A-Aubrey…” I heard my name said so softly I could barely hear. I looked at Jonathon and squeezed his hand.

“Yes, Jonathon, you can tell me anything.”

“I want to…apologize…for what I did. You didn’t…deserve that. I didn’t know…w-what c-came o-over me. I am s-so…s-sorry.” I could tell that it was hard for him to talk. I could feel that his words were heartfelt and true. I had to forgive him. I knew that would give him peace as he left this world.

“I forgive you, Jonathon. You were my first love and I will never forget you.” I knew he was going to die by just looking at him. His hand was starting to fall from mine. I started to cry again because now I felt bad that he was leaving this world. I shouldn’t have been so mean to him within the last couple of weeks. I should have hung out with him. I never thought that it would hurt so much to lose someone I used to love. I was crying in Alex’s arms. We heard Jonathon’s last heart beat. Michelle was crying really hard. I held her because I knew she needed it. Who knew that enemies could become connected? Michelle was crying harder than I have ever seen her.

Alex looked kind of sad as well. I blamed myself for his suicide. I shouldn’t have been so mean to him. I should have been nice to him. I could name a thousand things I could have done before he died. It wouldn’t matter though. Jonathon is never going to come back. I have to face the consequences of what happened in that alley. “Michelle, I am so sorry for your loss.”

“It’s your loss too…” she said softly. She was right though.

“I-I have to tell you something.” Michelle said with tears streaming down her face.

“What is it?” I asked her. I was worried about what she had to say.

“I’m pregnant.”

Silence filled the room…there was no sound…nothing…you could hear a pen drop.

Welp, I literally saw that coming.

Now I feel bad...poor Jon-Jon...
I'll revoke his AK47-To-The-Face Club membership...just because he redeemed himself.
