Now I did not give a d**n whether my wrists tore off. I needed to know whether Jessica was alright.

"Jessica?" I hissed. She gave me no response.

"Jess...." I tried again. Still no response. Dread was drowning me now.

"Please Jessica, wake up......" Something burned my eyes as it rolled down my cheeks. Tears.

Jessica did not move.

No......

"NOOOO!!!!" I howled as I tried getting closer to her, but I only fell to the ground, the chair on top of me. I bursted with tears now, a puddle reaching towards her blood-soaked shoes. It felt as if someone was ripping my heart out with a chainsaw. She and Maxwell was the only-

Someone groaned.

I craned my neck in an awkward position to find where the noise was emanating from. I tracked down the sound and found it was coming from Jessica.

She's alive!

"Jessica?" I peeped.
"Uuuuhhnnnn......." She responded.
"Oh thank whoever is up there." I sighed, letting my depressing thoughts go away.

"Chad?" She groaned in pain.
"Yes?"

If you have seen a person's face change in mere seconds, you have not experienced what I saw. Her face contorted from happiness to relief to confusion to anger. It would have been funny if she did not give me a look as if I murdered her best friend.

"Chad....." She said bitterly through gritted teeth.

My insides twisted. She's still mad at me.

"Jessica, let me explain-" I started.
"First off, what......the hell are.....you doing......on the floor?" She asked as each breath caused her a fiery pain.

"It's because I thought you were dead."
"And I'm suppose.......to believe....that?"
"Oh come on! You don't have to be unreasonable."
"Talk last.......sweetie. Last time I..........checked, you were........using me."

Oh yes. I forgot that little detail.

"Jessica, please don't be like this. This is the only time I've let faith get the best of me."

She just glared at me and said, "Maybe you........shouldn't........ have."
"You know what? You're right. I never should have came to this fricking island. I knew I would never be happy."

"Oh for.......the love of.......God, listen to........yourself! You act as if........the world should revolve.........around you. The world doesn't....... owe you anything Chad."

"Really? Then tell me why you're so happy with your life and I'm not?" Anger was getting the best of me. I knew I shouldn't push her due to the fact that she is in immense pain, but I continued, "The world isn't fair to me. The least it could do is someone who actually cares!"

"You, Chad Newman, thinks......... only of himself,............just like all the.............dicks in the world. You're no different...."

My eyes widened at her as she said that. I could've cried right there, but I deserve it because what she said was true. I didn't give people the chance with me because I was too selfish to even notice the people who actually care for me.
