June 13, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
I get up from my hospital bed looking around the room. I stand up feeling my feet touch the cold floor. The nurse walks in,
"Oh, you're awake. I assume you're looking for answers right?"
I reply somewhat softly,
"Yeah, I am. How and where are my friends? Where's my dad?"
She replies softly back,
"Well looks like your friends... that survived.... are going to recover successfully. One of them is on the rooftop as we speak. Your dad came by for a visit, said he had to get back to work. He also left you some change of clothes right there."
"Oh.... that's nice."
"Anyways, how are you feeling?"
"A bit hurt..."
"Like physically or just emotionally hurt?"
"Kind of both."
"Trust me, it's going to be okay from now on?"
"....Alright..."
Then I tell her I'm going to see my friends, she tells me the rooms they are in. I go to them.
I first head into Darron's room. His torso is bandaged up and he seems to be sleeping. I stand there for a few seconds, before leaving the room to let him sleep.
I then go to Deri's room. She's sitting there with bandages on her left thigh with a cast on her foot. It seems like she's reading, she looks up filled with joy. She then demands a hug. I hug her. "I thought you were going to die...." she says while crying and sniffing.
"I don't plan on dying anytime soon." I reply with a comforting voice. I then sit there hugging her in silence for 15 minutes before she falls asleep. I leave her room and start heading for Derick's room.
I enter Derick's room where the doctors are checking up on him.
"How's his breathing?" The doctor sternly asks the nurse.
"It's back to normal, he's going to be fine."
"What a relief."
The doctor then looks back to me and tells me.
"He's going to be just fine, he just needs a lot of rest."
"That's good to hear, thanks doc."
I leave Derick's room to get a snack.
About 20 minutes later after eating a snack, I start heading for the hospital roof. As I open the door I see Will standing there staring into the sky.
"Hey Will..."
"Oh... Kiesto... hey.."
"What are you doing up here..?"
" I can't stand the thought of being without her... which why I'm looking at the sky... to see her looking at me... and me looking at her..."
"Oh... I'm sure she's happy you're still alive."
He then stands close to the balcony.
"No she isn't... SHE NEEDS ME KIESTO"
"Hey buddy calm down...!"
He then curls up into a ball and starts crying. I feel sad for him so I start hugging him.
I tell him trying to comfort him, "I promise she's fine up there... don't worry about her.."
"I can't live without her man.. *sniff* I can't... I couldn't save her..."
"Hey calm down... it's gonna be alright."
"No it isn't... I LOVED HER KIESTO, SOMETHING YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND"
I look at him with a bit of shock. He looks straight at me with a stern face.
"HEY YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND ALRIGHT? WE ALL LOVED HER AND WE MISS HER TOO SO DROP IT MAN!"
He looks at me with a face of shock while tears are still running down his eyes.
"Trust me... we all didn't want this to happen.... but it did..."
He looks down.
"C'mon, let's go" I tell him softly.
"Yeah..."
He stands up and we both start walking back inside.
"You go...."
I look at him with a face of confusion. A nurse appears from the door.
"I'll go with the girl who needs me..."
He then starts running at the balcony. I then immediately knew what he was about to do, so I start running at him attempting to stop him.
"WILL NO!"
He then stand on top of the rail saying these last few words, words I won't ever forget.
"I'm coming Bara."
He jumps off the roof.
"NOOOOOO"
I see his body on the ground, blood was everywhere.
The nurse then pulls me back hugging me trying to comfort me. After 20 minutes later the cops come to the roof questioning me and the nurse. I tell him everything that happened when I was on the roof. The nurse just mentions that she knew nothing of the conversation but just saw Will running to the balcony and jumping off.
A few minutes later Darron, pushing Deri in a wheel chair come up to the roof to see what was happening. They see the cops and me sitting on the floor crying.
"What happened.... where's Will?" Deri asks.
"Dead..."
I look up at her, staring at her with eyes full of tears.
"He's dead Deri.... I couldn't stop him..."
