Mhi always wonder what it woulda be like fi dead.

Wah come afta death?

Weird no one knows.

People just die, and den dats it, yuh juss dead.

No essential being no afterlife. Just death and the darkness that never ends.

Mi nuh ready fi dead in all honestly.

But who am I to interfere with the creator's plans?

16 shots, 4 to the chest and leg was all it took.

I wonder if there was any pain. I don't know, I wasn't the one dead.

I hate hospitals. Always have and always will.

So that didn't make it much better to know I was sitting on a hospital bed.

And it didn't make me happier to see my best friends smile on TV.

A smile that I would only see whenever I annoyed her. That same picture I took of her 4 months back after I told her she looked like my dad.

My bestfriend, my Jordi.

"There, all done"

I blinked twice as I was snapped out of my thoughts by the doctor's voice.

My eyes instantly moved away from the TV.

I looked over to my bandaged arm.

"Ohkay"

That's all I could say.

My thoughts were scrambled for the first time in my life. I was unsure of what to do.

I always had everything planned out, my life was an agenda. Everything planned and everything is set to a standard.

And now, I wasn't so sure anymore.

I needed to cry but why weren't any tears falling?

I don't know.

"Can she go now" My mom spoke.

She was the first to get here. I remember her voice in the hospital hallways. Shouting but always so calm.

I remember seeing her face as she stepped into the ward where I was, still in her police clothes.

I watched as she walked to my bed, then completely broke. Her wails and prayers.

Something I don't think I'll ever forget.

"Yes everything is set, vitals are good, she's a strong girl" I watched as the nurse talked smiling and looking over at me, yet I remained quiet.

What was there to be happy about?

It's been two days since the accident.

Two days since I lost one of my reasons to continue going.

Was I supposed to feel happy that I survived?

I ignored my mom's voice as I got up from the hospital bed and started walking.

I walked until I was at the other wing of the hospital.

And there she was, my Jordin.

Edges dem white but she still looked so...peaceful.

I walked over to her bed silently.

She wasn't awake, she hadn't been awake for the past 2 days. But I still didn't want to risk waking her.
