The Life Of Jennifer Kage (On Hold)

TLOJK [Chapter 3]

I drove as quick as possible to the nearest hospital.

"Name of the patients?" A middle-aged woman smiled at me.

"Cameron Jaymes and Harold Young." I said impatiently.

"They are in room 341. On the third floor. You know how to get the-." I didn't let her finish because I had rushed to the nearest elevator and pressed the button that led me to the third floor.

I can't lose Cameron nor Harry. I just can't. Not right now, not ever!

Just when I'm happy, something bad always fucking happens.

That's why I'm afraid to be happy.

Everytime I'm happy, something bad happens.

I felt hot liquid stream down my cheek.

I was crying.

I quickly wiped it off. I couldn't let them see me weak.

I wanted them to stay strong. I should return the favor and stay strong for them.

'Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright.' I told myself repeatedly.

I strolled down the hallway and looked for 341.

298.

304.

317.

328.

339.

340.

I walked slowly towards 341.

Stay strong, Jennifer. They would want you to stay strong for them.

I slowly entered the room and looked around.

To my left were boards full of notes nurses had left.

I was afraid to look at my right, I knew I would break down.

I bit the inside of my cheek and turned around.

I saw Olivia sitting next to Cam holding his hand while crying gently.

Cam had alot of bruises and scratches on his body. I winced and looked towards Harry.

He had less scratches than Cam and only had a few bruises.

"Jenni?" I heard a raspy voice say.

I turned to look at the owner of the voice and saw Olivia.

She had puffy eyes and her mascara was running down her cheeks.

"Olivia." I whispered.

I walked towards her and hugged her.

She let go of Cam's hand and hugged me back.

"I'm so sorry." I cried softly into her shoulder.

She pulled away and placed her fingers under my chin.

She lifted my face and made me look up at her.

"What are you sorry for?" She asked softly.

"For-for not being there. I should be the one in a hospital bed, not him." I whispered.

Tears were streaming down my cheek and I tried wiping them away, but Olivia passed me a tissue. She smiled softly at me.

"Don't worry, Jen. Everything is going to be alright." She whispered with a sad smile.
