Wake It Right

The Accident

Jacob's POV

August 11, 2021

I am on my way to the university to pick up Johnny to surprise him on our anniversary since our class ends earlier and I had time to prepare for the celebration. I am planning to give him a ring that symbolizes "destined", it's so elegant that the first time I saw the ring I think it would fit for my beloved. After I bought the thing I managed to decorate our room and cooked all his favorite dishes, everything is set and all went according to my plan. Actually, it is just a simple celebration with just the two of us, but knowing Johnny, he would probably invite his best friend Spencer and probably invite my best friend Nikko too so I cooked more than enough. Why is it so traffic today? it's still 3:20 in the afternoon, I want to see my Johnny now. While I was driving, I feel that something's off with my car so I went first to a repair shop to check if there are some malfunctioning but there isn't. I then arrived at the university at 4:30 and I made Johnny wait since his classes ends at exactly 4.

"Hun, sorry I'm late, I needed to check for something." I ran towards Johnny.

"It's alright Hun, I didn't wait that long." He kissed me on the cheek and smiled.

Johnny is the sweetest boy I've ever known and I cannot imagine myself if I hadn't met him. Today is our third anniversary and every day, life seems so much better when I'm with him, no words can explain how much I love this man and I would literally go crazy if he'd ever leave me.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Haha let's go home." Johnny excitedly said.

I drove the car with him beside me on our way to our apartment and everything went smoothly until... all I hear are sirens. 

What is going on? Why is it so loud? Why am I upside down? Where is Johnny? He was just with me earlier. Why am I alone? All I see in the mirror is myself covered with blood?! There are ambulance and people trying to carry me and tried to remove me from the car. I don't feel any pain. All I wanna do is feel Johnny's presence. They seem to transfer me to the hospital, but no, please, I want to see where is my boyfriend first. I wanna shout, I wanna run, I wanna find him but I can't I couldn't move a muscle. Before I knew it, I passed out. I had this dream that I am with Johnny, we held hand and that he's gently letting go of his hand from mine. The moment I woke up, I cannot speak, I cannot stand. All I could think of is him. I wanna run to him but I don't have the ability as of the moment.

"Bro, are you awake now? I've been waiting for you to wake up since they brought you here." Nikko said with relieved.

Nikko isn't the one I wanna see when I wake up, I want to see Johnny. I wanna throw a tantrum but I couldn't say a word.

"If you're looking for Johnny, he's also admitted at this hospital but he's still unconscious, I went here with Spencer and he's now looking for Johnny and waiting for him to wake up." Nikko added.

Before I knew it, I was crying, thinking if I wasn't the one driving, if I hadn't picked him up, if he hadn't met me, he would never suffer this tragedy.

Three weeks have passed since the accident happened, I can slowly walk and managed to talk normally with the help of rehabilitation. Every day, I visit Johnny on his room and talk to him about a lot of things, how much I miss him and crying over him when will he wake up. And in the evening, I go to the church and pray to the Lord that he'll wake up.

September 1, 2021

7pm, Spencer called me in a hurry that he wants me to go to Johnny's room immediately. As I was on my way, all I could think is that Johnny woke up that's why Spencer didn't told me the reason why should I go there asap, to surprise me that is. I was so excited, I ran on my way, and when I got there, Johnny's body are covered in a white cloth. I asked Spence if what is going on? Why would they put that on his body? And he's just there crying.

"Johnny left us." Spencer said with agony.

"What do you mean left? He's just sleeping. What are you talking about?" I hugged Johnny's cold body, crying, begging for him to wake up. That it's all just a dream. That both of us will wake up from this hell.

"Johnny Yulo, died September 1, 2021 at 6:58pm." The Doctor stated.

When I heard those words, I wanted to die. I want to disappear. I want to go to where Johnny is now. My mind went blank. I couldn't cry for more. Dear God, please let it be all a dream, please don't take away this man from me.

I passed out.

Where am I?

I woke up in my room. How? What happened? Why am I in our house's room? I was with... with whom? I was with... whose body was that I was holding? Why was I sad? Was that a dream? I can't remember anything. All I knew is that I was feeling lonely and hurt. I looked up to the clock beside my bed and it's 6:58am.

"JACOB, WAKE UP AND GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM ALREADY!" my mom yelled.

That dream seems kinda long. I was gonna be late for my graduation. Tomorrow will be the start of my workshop, ughhh I feel so tired, what was that dream? Well I guess I don't need to think about that since that was just a mere dream and I really couldn't remember a thing anymore. But what's with that heavy feeling when I woke up? And I had tears too that my pillow's all wet HAHAHA what a crazy dream! Today is my last day of being a high school student. I hope I could enjoy all my summer in this workshop. :))
