Chapter 13 – Born Again

And that was when reality kicked in…

~Flashback to reality~

Jessie silently cursed her freaky, psychic ability to see her own future occasionally, her fingers slipped from those that grasped at her hand frantically; falling…

She saw Marilyn’s look of anguish as he realised who she was and that she was about to die. Her life could’ve been something wonderful, but the world would never know.

As she looked up at her beautiful, gothic, rock star angel, a single thought occurred to Jessie…

Was she falling?.. Or flying?

And then her world went black.

Chose you own ending from here…

Ending 1: Burning Flag

{Two months later…}

Jessie scrunched her eyes tight shut as the light pricked behind her eyelids. Opening her eyes, she spied the one man whose face had never left her alone in the darkness…

“Marilyn…” Jessie murmured weakly as he looked up.

“Oh, thank God…” he squeezed her hand gently. “You’re awake…I thought I’d lost you again…but you’re awake!”

“I’m awake…” Jessie smiled and pointed to the sheet music in his other hand…it was hers from when she’d known him in another life. “And…I remember…”

Ending 2: Coma Black

Jessie gazed at Brian sadly as he looked at the lyrics in his hand, back at Jessie, then back at the lyrics, and began to sing her song. “There’s something cold and blank…behind her smile. She’s standing on an overpass…in a miracle mile…”

Brian continued to sing as she closed her eyes, smiling peacefully. “Coz you were from a perfect world. A world that threw me away today…today… to run away…” and everything fell away, her world going black.

Jessie’s eyes snapped open as she heard crying. She looked sideways and saw Brian, holding her hand in both of his… he was sobbing softly…begging her to wake up.

“Please…wake up…you promised you’d come away with me…please…” he murmured over and over again until Jessie’s heart ached and tears of her own threatened to spill from her eyes.

Jessie squeezed his hand gently and his head shot up. “Hey…” Jessie sniffled, holding back tears as his expression turned from one of shock to that of joy.

“You’re awake!” He cried as he flung his arms around her, kissing every inch of her face. “You came back to me!” Now, Jessie cried with him. “I love you, Jessie…I love you…”

“I love you too.” Jessie smiled as she cried. Wiping away her tears she gave Brian a gentle shove. “And I had to come back…I haven’t seen you become extraordinary yet!”

“And now you will…” Brian kissed her lovingly.

As they continued their loving kiss, Jessie realised that coma's are more black then white...

Finish

{So? Was it real? Was it an illusion; a coma induced dream? You tell me.}
