Best Friends

Chapter 5

☆Jacky's P.O.V ☆

"I can't,"

"Dad, don't make this extra hard on yourself," I told him while I took off my earbuds, and stuck my phone in my pocket.

He looked at me, and slightly nodded. He reached for the handle, and pushed the door open.

There, laying on the bed, was my grandfather, who I haven't seen in two years.

"Dad," my dad cried.

Just seeing my dad cry made me tear up a bit.

He went to hug my grandfather.

They were talking and once my grandfather layed eyes on me, he spoke loud.

"Come here,"

I shuffled across the white tiles to the white bed in front of me.

"Jackline, I know we have not had much communication over the years, but I have heard many good things about you, and what you have done. I am proud of you, and what a young lady you are growing up to be, I love you Jackline," He told me as tears began to fall down his face.

I smiled back.

Damn.

These onion ninjas are attacking me. 😢

After that, a nurse came in, and shooed me out because I was, a 'kid'.

I walked out, and realized, I have no clue where I am. I looked around, and started walking down a hallways, where noises were coming from. Just follow the noise.

I then came back to the waiting room.

I walked up to my mother and sister.

"How is he?" My mother asked. "You've been crying," She said worriedly.

"Uh, onion ninjas attacked me," I replied while showing a small smile.

"Go sit," She told me as I nodded and sat down next to my sister.

"You good?" She asked, not looking away from her phone.

"Yeah,"

She then went back to texting.

I opened my phone, to four new messages.

Before I could finish my reply, I looked up to see doctors running down the hallway I had just came from...oh no...

I stood up, so did my sister. I looked at her, and she looked at me.

She shook her head, saying 'no'. But I ran towards that hallway.

I gasped when I saw my dad crying hugging onto my mom who is also crying.

"Time of dead, 11:37 PM," One of the nurses said as another nurse wrote it down.

"I'm sorry," One of the nurses said to my dad who was still crying.

There I stood, with wide eyes, too shocked to cry. In the middle of the hallways, nurses going all around me, with beeping noises, others crying. There I stood in the middle of it.

I looked down at my feet, and walked back to the waiting room, where my sister was still standing, with wide eyes, and tears forming.

"I-Is he..." She began to asked.

I looked up and shook my head.

Her hand covered her mouth, and she sat back down. Her hand muffling her sobs.

I, for some reason, didn't feel as sad as everyone else.

Maybe it was because I didn't know him to well.

Whatever the reason, it's too late to think about it. He's already gone.
