Deception

Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty Five

"Morning Shin..." A familiar women's voice says.

I look over my shoulder and see my parents and Shika. "Oh, morning." I sit up carefully and wipe my eye. Crying in my sleep, I haven't done that in a while. I look to Jin and it is like I don't exist to him anymore. I fix his blanket and squeeze his hand quickly.

The doctor walks in with nurses and I nod while everyone else is confused. I kiss Jin's head in front of everyone, not caring what they do or think. Then I back out of the way as they role him out of the room and pass Tiso with the baby.

I laugh when they start overreacting and crying because they think he is dead. I hug them while calming them down. "No, it's fine. We are only doing some tests on him. After what happened yesterday they said they were going to have to make sure everything is okay."

The relief is felt all throughout the room. The doctor tells me everything that is happening and no one else gets it so I explain to them. "You know a lot."

"I am studying it in America. I was in advanced classes for it as well, so I know a lot more than others my age would."

My parents look at me in shock and he lets me watch everything as it happens. Once done he lets me examine the results. The outcome makes me almost cry in front everyone. Once confirmed by the doctor he lets me tell everyone. Playing this doctor role is pretty fun.

"I have overlooked his results and am glad to say he is okay. He is actually great in fact. The outburst yesterday was a delayed reaction of something playing in his mind. We don't know what happens to people while they are in coma's, but some experience what they call seeing a glimpse of heaven. Others play memories in their minds, and some watch us. What happened yesterday and the scans we took today show that it is part of his healing process. If this continues he may only be in a coma for two weeks to a few months."

Shika jumps up and hugs me, tears falling down my back. "Thank you Shin, thank you so much."

I smile and allow a few tears to fall from my eyes as well. "Everything will be alright."

Once everyone is calmed we are allowed to go back to the room. There are new flowers in a vase and the same smell of cheap women's perfume lingers around Jin. I stop at the door not willing to walk in more. No matter what, when he wakes I have to leave. We aren't together, and I need to forget him. Every second I stay the more unwanted emotions grow for him.

"Are you going to stay in the doorway or go in?"

I turn around and Lani, his ex-fiancé, is smiling. The exact same perfume I smelled that night on him is smothering her. I walk in and back up standing in front of Jin in a protective stance. Now that he is this way, does she want him back?

She gives me a hard and hateful look. "Why are you here?"

"What do you mean why is he here Lani? We made him come, he isn't yours."

"While he isn't mine I only care about the person who left him without a word to a foreign country and ignored all of his calls and letters."

"What do you mean calls and letters? I got nothing, haven't seen his name or face, or heard his voice until they called me here."

"I was right next to him when he made all of those calls and when he sent and even wrote the letters. He even tried getting a ticket and going to your front door step. I was there watching it all, then you think he is injured so you can sneak right back into his life. Act as though you didn't leave or abandon him."

"I have already told you, I got nothing. And I wasn't the one who left and ended everything. He was. I don't know what I should do, get on my fucking knees and beg for him to take me back?! Beg for me to be the only person in his life. What, am I supposed to ask him to leave the fucking mafia for me!? I can't do that! I won't do that! They are his family; that is his life! It is different from mine. I should have not ignored that since the beginning, but I did. And now my life is a mess. Do you know how lonely I get just sitting in that fucking room, even looking at that garden or house. Hos lonely I am in America, so that I have to bury myself in school. I didn't want to come originally because I was trying to forget and let us both have normal lives. The second he wakes I will never come back. I am leaving, so do whatever the hell you want."

"You're just going to give up? Who was the one that went to another state for him? The one who forced his way into a house full of mafia. The one who pranced around shouting and screaming about everything. Not giving up! I actually believed and had hope for you." I walk to the door grabbing my stuff. "No matter what you do, you can never stop loving him."

"I know that."
