Jay

42. The Reality

Amrik's pov

As I walk outside. Gogo is following me. With a cold glare at me. It is expected we got into an argument on our first greeting. "What do you want?" She snarls "Oh so you're still pissed at me" I laugh. She just glares at me. "Okay, Gogo here's some things I need you to think about before you ruin his life once again after he wakes up," I say trying not to bash her face in. "I ruin his life? That's funny" she snarls back. "Bitch shut the fuck up and listen. The reason Jay went on this stupid path was you, not just Hiro. You let Hiro do this stuff to you. Resulting in pain for Jay and it was just a constant circle. He gave you off to Hiro and went into the grid. Because he didn't want to cause more problems because he thought it was all his fault. But the true people at fault are you and Hiro.  You loved Hiro more than Jay. Because you went along with it. For so long. So while Jay is out cold think of what you want to do, and who you want. Because I will be here this time to watch Jay to make sure he doesn't fall again." I said. And walked away. "Hope this got through you're stupid skull you idiot" I add as I walk off.

Gogos POV

Amrik came off rude to me. Not once but twice. But I figure he does have a point. The situation between me and jay has been a constant circle. Hiro endlessly trying to kill jay, some torture planning to mess with our planet. And a lot of mental issues. Once I get Jay's room. A voice behind me says. "Take care of him, if not let him down slowly." I turned around and it was Jackson. "I'm clear to go, lost a good bit of blood from my battles. But family emergency call. So I have to leave. I know amrik has talked to you. Keep his words in mind. Take care Gogo." He said. Before I was able to say anything. He closed the door and hobbled away. I turn back to jay with tears in my eyes. So calm with a blank expression on his face. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do this to you. I didn't realize how much you were damaged" I cried and grabbed his hand. Then the heart monitor started to slow down. "SOMEONE COME HERE, HES DYING" I cried. They walked in. A long beep came from the monitor. "I'm sorry Lieko, there's nothing we can do. He's gone." They said. "B-but" I stuttered. "It happens. We all die eventually, his time happened to come early" the doctor said. This was the moment I realized I fucked up. I should've protected him. He was a vulnerable person. But did all his favor to keep us alive.

3rd person POV

Somewhere else.

On a beautiful sunset, a bright blue Kia Soul was driving along. Cruising. No one on the roads. It was on a brisk Tuesday in Wisconsin. Everything was covered in snow. Roads were slick and salted. The Kia arrived at a halt at an old farm. "Jay you're here, welcome home son," an old man said. "Hey, dad," Jay said. "Why are you here, you're still very young," the man said. "Life happens, I got pushed over the edge that led me to a coma. And I guess I passed away there." Jay said. Jay looked oddly dead inside as if he was still a 20 year old physically, but mentally an 85-year-old. "You still have a chance to go back, I will be here waiting," the dad said. "I can't dad, you don't understand the pain, the mental torture, and all that anymore. Shit happens we all die anyway" jay said. "I understand your point. But you got friends down there. And your brother. And Gogo. You can't forget her." Jays' dad said resting his hand on Jay's shoulder. "You see that star up there in the sky, that star is a representation of you. Bright and happy. Now, look at yourself down there. Gogo is clenching your hand tightly. You're on life support, you're brain dead. You aren't fully dead. So calm and pale. the thing is You can't always take the easy way out. Life gets get hard. And shit happens. Meditate on it. And move on." Jay's dad continues. "Thanks for the encouraging words, but I don't know if I want to go back to face that anymore." Jay sighed. "Who said you have to go back to that. You got a whole world to explore. And you have a lot of chapters left in your life. Don't let one thing hold you back" Jay's dad smiles. "I guess I'll think about it. How long do I have?" Jay asks. "Roughly 24 hours." Jays' dad replies.

Gogos POV.

"Please don't leave me, I'm so sorry for how everything went. Amrik was right. I took everything for granted and let the battle between you and Hiro go on. I can't lose you. I've lost everyone. I pushed everyone away in the last month you were gone. You're all that I have left... please don't go...."
