The thing about creepy hallways and dim lights is I HATE them.
Like absolutely hate them.
And right now I am barely being abke to breathe with my stupid heart hammering away and my head spinning.
I make a solemn promise to myself that if I make out of this place alive,Romeo is going to land up in the hospital with a smashed jaw.
If that is possible co sidering how much I don't want that beautiful face to even get a scratch.
DID I JUST SAY THAT?
Like where the hell has he got me trapped.
First the dim lighting,then the screaming and the sickly smell.I'm going to throw up and my legs are getting more wobbly.
Isn't this suppose to be a rehab centre?
Because last I checked, rehab centres are bright places..the ones you go to so that you can meet someone returning from their own dark world.
Places where people can learn to live again not get more depressed.
I turn to look at the nurse, she is so busy typing away something in her phone that the idea of disturbing her doesn't seem that good.
Anyways she creeped me out already with the first line she said to me and she was already in my alert list.
"Um..hey, can I ask you a question?"
I am already turning away so that if she starts screaming I will be halfway across the hall.
"Yeah sure!" She smiled
Okay that wasn't bad.
"How did You know my name?"
She stopped pursing her lips her eyes doing some sort of dance.
"Oh that! He hasn't stop mentioning you ever since he came here and the way he describes you it's like you are his whole damn world."
My heart stopped and she walked ahead smiling to herself.
I could feel the numbness spreading again..Not now, come on please.
So there is one more guy whom I have hurt? Like was I born this bitchy or I learnt it in my journey because I'm turning out to be exceptionally good in this.
One more whom I don't remember.
One more who will get hurt now.
One more added to my chaos.
"You coming?"
The nurse is looking at me somewhat surprised.
"Um..yeah I am just nervous" I walk up to the open door and look inside.
There he was...green eyes,dirty blond hair.Jake from my dream of yesterday..Jake whom I know but I don't know at the same time.
Jake who is staring at me now his eyes widening.
"Carmen?"
At first he is almost off the bed but then the needle in his wrist holds him back.
Then he is almost screaming with his face breaking into a grin.
I smile tentatively falling apart inside because this boy who looks so happy to see him, I don't even know his surname.
"Hey Jake! How you holding up?"
My voice sounds strong strangely and I wonder if this is me.
He laughs and the sound is beautiful as it echoes in the almost bare room.He looks tired,worn out maybe but devastatingly beautiful.
"I have been good,Carmen except for these stupid needles they keep poking in my arm like I really care. I keep telling them if you would have been here,you would have agreed with me.."
He smiles again and something inside me broke. A tear slid down my cheek.
"What happen? Did I say something wrong?"
His tone has become soft, almost a whisper. The nurse has slipped out quietly and I can feel the tension jn the atmosphere.
"Nothing Jake,it's just ...I missed you.."
Lies and lies. How long will I keep up?
He went silent as if thinking about something.
"You never came for my party..I kept waiting you know. You said you will but you never did. And that bastard Romeo....He told me you left.."
He hates Romeo?? My mind is spinning now.
He is still speaking,"...and you never called me even once...not even when mum died.."
"Jake..I'm...I am sorry..I moved and I didnt have time to say goodbye properly to anyone."
I am fiddling with my phone now.He doesn't know and I don't want him to. So I better come up with something.
"Not even me? You had time to meet Beckham!" He is almost accusing.
Only if he knew.
"Jake..no,I mean Romeo was there that's why he knew..nothing else..I would have come and told you for sure"
I am cheating now and it hurts like hell..but this is better,anything but that damn truth.
He turns away,the shadow falling on his face and my heart leaped.
He looks so broken but still perfect.
What is wrong with me?
"Jake?" I went closer,heart in my mouth..
He looked up, his eyes searing into mine and for a moment I thought he knew..
He took my hands and tried to sit up..
I held him, he was still strong.
We hugged,his face buried in the crook of my shoulders,my eyes squeezed shut and in that precise moment I saw a brown eyed boy smile at me sadly.
