Setting Love

Awakened

       *Jordan's POV*

       My heart stopped, my body went numb, the world stopped. When the sight of his lifeless body just sat there, frozen and motionless, I lost it I slammed my fists against his chest. At some point I think my mind went blank and my rage took over my body, I wasn't scared I was going to damage his body, all I really cared about was him coming back to me.

"Oak! Don't do this to me!! I need you!! Come back you little ass hole!!!! Why would you do this to me!!!!! OAK!!!!!" My voice cracked

    I began to turn away and give up, my heart was shattered, my world gone, and my life was completely over. The only thing I had to live for now, was to die. I had nothing to keep me alive, why? Because truth be told Oak was my anchor and now that he's gone he's ripped a whole in my ship and now I'm sinking into oblivion.

     "Jordan?" I heard a very low and hoarse voice call out as I reached the rooms door.

        My head shot up and spun around so quickly, the flash would've been walking at that point.

       His eyes were barely open and the monitor had only just started back so it was a faint beeping. At that point the doctors had came in, and Jaylen and I had to tell then in on the whole story.

*Oak's POV*

I felt it, I felt death and it was cool, not cold, smooth, soothing and gentle. I welcomed it, because I had never felt safer.

I also felt lonely and hollow, as if I knew I had left something behind. I knew if I left, I would leave the people I love and care about behind, but I didn't care I finally felt safe and secure. Out of all the years I was bullied and tormented, I finally had the peace I so desperately wished for, but now I have I have it it seems a little boring. I mean it's great and all, but there's absolutely no one here, I'm all alone, no Jaylen, no parents, not even Jordan, no Jordan.

       I began to mentally panic, which seemed odd seeing that I was dead and all. Was this how it was? Being in an area in your mind secluded from everything else all alone? It this was the way it was, screw this I wanna live.

       I mentally punched around at my surroundings but wasn't surprised when I began hitting nothing. I stopped, knowing I was defeated, I mentally sighed and gave up, but that's when I heard it.

        It was faint and extremely low at first, then it grew to loud mumbles, it kept growing until I heard it. It was Jordan's voice, but how?

        "I love you!!! Oak!!! Come back!!!" He cried, then I felt something dull brush against my lips, but how can I feel anything I'm dead. Ain't I?

     Then it all came back in a bright stunning white flash, all my memories I had ever experienced flashed before me, like a movie in fast forward. But this movie was in x100 fast forward. In a matter of seconds I slowly began feeling warm again the pulse from my heart began to jitter and pulse.

        My vision was blurred, but I saw him. Not clearly because my vision hadn't cleared, but the blurry outline of him walking out of the room defeated. And lonely as he believed the love of his life was gone forever.

       I don't know how I did it, I don't even remember telling my mouth to open but it did.
"Jordan?" I spoke, my the ought felt like I had just swallowed nails and needles. My voice was harsh and rough.

        He spun around his face lit up like a star in a pitch black sky, all alone, as it's single brightness managed to light the entire sky around the world. It wasn't longer before I felt arms around me and the strange voice of doctors entering the room. Jordan never left my side he sat on the opposite side of the bed holding my hand the entire time as the team of doctors and nurses did their job.

        After a bunch of them left everything seemed to mellow down. The only other person in the room was a medium sized nurse who was checking my pulse, but in that moment Jordan reached out and gently pulled my face away from the monitor and gently pressed his soft warm lips against mine. It was a short and simple kiss, but it said everything that needed to be said up until that moment. I slowly opened my eyes as he pulled back, partly because I still thought I was dead and couldn't grasp what was reality and what was fake, but mostly because I thought I was at least dreaming or something. That I would wake up and be in one of my classrooms asleep, the teacher yelling at me and no Jordan, but that wasn't the case this was real.

        The nurse gave us a funny look, before returning to her job grinning ear to ear. Once she left Jaylen came over to my bed and punched me in the arm. It wasn't hard but it wasn't a soft punch either.

        "What were you thinking pulling a stunt like that. You had me worried, you had us worried. That was low what you pulled, but still Jordan shouldn't have left like he did, so promise you won't do anything like that ever again!!" Jaylen screamed tears falling down her rosy cheeks. Jordan's hand lightly squeezed against mine as if to agree to what she was saying.

Suddenly I felt thankful for having friends who actually cared about me like the way these knuckle heads do, I would never have thought they actually cared that much. The truth was that I was blind, because u never noticed the amount of love they always game me, I only thought try we're doing it just because they felt bad but I guess I'm just special.

Weeks passed, and things gradually got better. I don't know how but they did, but I'm sure its not going to last long though, because it never does. Anyways I got out of the hospital Ronnie got suspended for the entire first semester and half of the second, because as it turns out he did it all purpose but e was aiming for Jordan and I was simply in the way. My parents actually seemed to care, but they still dragged me to church to show "how kind the good lord was sparing my sinful soul and giving me a second chance", bitch please.

Now after school me and Jordan sneak off into town or to Jaylen's to hang out without our psychotic parent finding out and we were happy, well I guess as happy as a secretly gay teenage boy who has to look over his shoulder ever five minutes could be. Jaylen didn't have a dad.

He died when she was three fighting in Iran. Ever since then he mom grew more and more depressed, until Jay turned eight, that's when she met Beth. You see Jaylen's mom, Sharon, fell in love with same type of love me and Jordan shared so it was easy to hang around them, but truthfully I've seen pictures with Sharon and her husband John, and she honestly looks happier now with Beth then she ever did.

I just hope everything goes just as smoothly as it is now, but now we have homecoming dance coming up, and the question now is should I ask Jordan or should I ask Jaylen to keep mine and Jordan's secret?
