Ten Days

Day 8

Day 8

Christopher

I heard laughters. I saw a grassy place. The sun's shining brightly in to my face. I saw a girl sitting down on the tire swing, that is so familiar, hanged on the tree in the middle of this place. I walked to where she's at. I saw her smiling so brightly at me. "Gemma?" I asked. Then she nodded. My eyes went wide and I ran to her and hugged her so tightly like there's no tomorrow. "Baby, I thought I'd never see you again" I said to her still with my hand wrapped around her, and burying my face to her neck. I heard her chuckle. "Baby" I heard her say. I looked up to her and saw her still smiling at me. "Baby, I'm sorry" she said. I shook my head no, "Don't say that, please" I paused. "There's nothing you should be sorry about" I continued. And then she shook her head and gave me a sad smile, I frowned. Silence was already started building up and I decided to finally admit. "Is it okay if I start loving somebody else?" I asked her while looking down. I heard her sigh so I lifted up my gaze to her eyes. She's still smiling and after a few seconds, she nodded. I gave her a weak smile and tears started streaming down my face. "W-what h-happened?" I struggled saying so. She just kissed me in my forehead, and my eyes started to close to feel her kiss, to feel her love. I opened my eyes and she looked directly into it, "Baby, I know you've been through a lot because of me.." She said, I smiled and looked at the ground and shook my head, disagreeing to her statement, but I felt her hand lifting up my chin so that I can look at her. "And who am I not to let you do whatever makes you happy?" She continued. "Baby.." I said, more like whispered. And I heard her chuckle. "You're still the same Christopher I've always loved. Never change baby, thats what I've always wanted to tell you, oh wait and also I love you" and she laughed at herself. I gave her a small smile, "Everything will be fine Chris, just let me go" she said. And my sobs got heavier. "I don't know how" I cried. She just hugged me. "I know you already love somebody else right now, don't stop yourself just because of me, I'll be fine I promise. Just let me go..." Then she started fading away. "Just let me go.." I started panicking. "Gemma!!" I shouted. "Gemma!!" And I finally up, and realization hit me. "It was all just a dream" I said to myself. I sighed. I looked at my clock and saw it was already 7 am. So I stood up and looked at the girl on the bed, "Jamie.." I murmured. "Is it really okay?" I thought to myself. I just sighed and grabbed my guitar and went to the balcony. I started strumming

After playing the song I started crying.

Jamie

I heard a noise from the balcony, so I stood up, fixed the bed and went there. When I was near to the glass/sliding door, I saw Christopher sobbing, my eyes went wide and I was about to enter but then I heard him say, "Gemma.." He repeatedly said between his sobs, my tears were about to fall but I contained it, I stayed strong. I ran out of the house, I keep running and running, without me knowing where I'm going, I just let my feet drag me to wherever my feet may lead me. After a few minutes of running, I took a break to catch up my breath. I took a glance on my surroundings, and realized I was at the cemetery. "Why am I here?" I thought to myself. So I decided to look around, after a few seconds I found myself looking for one person and one person only, Gemma. After a few rights and lefts. I finally found her grave. "Hi" I said. I did nothing but stare at her grave "Gemma, I'm Jamie. I sorta live with your boyfriend" I paused. "Oh wait that sounds wrong, but yeah" I said while chuckling. I sighed, "What I really want to say is" I paused for like a minute or two finding the right words to say. "I like your boyfriend, wait no, I love him and its killing me, it kills me every time he mentions your name, not that it's wrong but it just did" then tears started sliding down from my eyes. "I know, this is really weird considering that you barely know me so why trust me right?" I continued. "I just don't know when or how this feelings build up I just can't stop it" I said laughing at how pathetic I sound right now. "I only ask this one chance, can you please give me a chance?" I couldn't contain it anymore, every time I remember him say he missed her, I would break down. I fell on my knees. After a few minutes, I felt cold droplets on my arms, I looked up and saw the sky getting darker. Then the rain started to get heavier and heavier. "Just great!" I said in rage. So I stood up, smiled at Gemma's grave and headed to where Christopher's house is directed.

Christopher

I heard the door slammed shut, so I went inside and saw the bed neatly fixed and empty so I ran outside and saw Jamie running. I chased after her and called out her name several times but she didn't stop. After a few minutes she came into a halt and seemed to examine her surroundings, I was hiding behind the tree and did the same. "Why are we at the cemetery?" I thought. She entered the place and I followed few meters behind. After a few lefts and rights she seemed to finally found the right grave, and it's Gemma's grave. I was hiding on a grave about five meters away. Then she started talking to Gemma's grave as actually talking to her in person. I couldn't tell much of it so I went closer and hid myself behind a tree, near enough for me to hear her. "I like your boyfriend, wait no, I love him and its killing me, it kills me every time he mentions your name, not that it's wrong but it just did" I heard her say, with her voice almost breaking. She loves me. She fucking love me. I smiled, "Is this the right time Gemma?" I thought to myself while looking up as if she's looking down at me. Then I heard a thump, I took a glance on Jamie and saw her sitting down on the grassy ground sobbing. I was about to go after her but somebody grabbed my shoulder causing me to stop. I turned around and saw Ethan. "Don't just don't" I just nodded and just stared at Jamie. "Why is she acting like this?" I thought. I just sighed and decided to go back at my house.

Ethan

I was walking around the cemetery to visit my grandma. When I already found her grave I put down to the grass the flowers I bought for her. After a little chit chat I decided to go to my place. When I was about to leave I saw Jamie came in followed by Christopher. "Wonder what's up" I thought to myself. I followed them and then saw Chris looking to Jamie's direction. When he saw her on the ground, he almost went to her but stopped when I grabbed him. When he looked at me I just said, "Don't, just don't" and he nodded we decided to leave and parted ways.

Christopher

After that incident at the cemetery, I immediately went to my house and as soon as I arrived, I went to the couch and drifted of to slumber. I woke up around 1 pm but still Jamie haven't came back home. I waited for couple more hours but I still no sign of her. I was getting worried. Around 8 pm, I heard the front door squeaked, I quickly went out of the kitchen and finally saw her. "Where were you" I asked. "I was out" she simply said and shrugged. "Oh okay, just tell me when you're going to leave next time okay?" I stated. She nodded. I went closer to her, and hugged her like my life depends on it. I felt her body tensed but I continued. "You made me worried, you know that?" I said, my voice cracking at the end. "S-sorry" she stuttered. I just sighed. When I pulled back, I looked in her eyes. "There's something I've always wanted to tell you" I said to her intently. I paused. "What is it?" She asked. "I-" but I was cut off by the loud bang from the front door revealing Jamie's dad, I quickly hid her behind my back. "D-dad, w-what a-are y-you d-doing here?" She mumbled, shaking. "I'm here because I believe this young man have something of mine" he said, smirking. I clenched my hands into a fist. "You have no belongings here. NOW GET OUT OF MY GODDAMN HOUSE!!" I shouted. He laughed, causing me to grit my teeth. "Oh, there is boy, there is" he said chuckling. I held Jamie's hand. But then he grabbed Jamie from me, and I tried to fight back. When I was about to punch him, he held a gun in front of my face. "Nothing can ever separate me from here" those were his last words and then he hit me in the head using the gun, then my vision started to black out.
