CHAPTER TEN

Jaime’s Point of View

Face to face and heart to heart...

We’re so close yet so far apart...

I close my eyes, I look away...

That’s just because I’m not okay...

Why can’t I make her love me the way I love her? Why is it that every time I wanted to be with her she would always go away like ignoring me? Why does she always say that we’re friends and dating will cause our friendship to be ruined? Why are being friends more important when I can be more? More. I want to be more for her. To laugh more with her. To be with her more when she needs me. To cuddle her more when we’re alone in my house. And to be hers – more. To give my heart more. To feel a lot of butterflies more than I used to when I see her. To keep her safe more from those bastards. I want to be everything for her simply because she is everything to me.

“Jaime...” she mutters in her sleep. Wow, is she dreaming about me?

“No...” her brow furrows and she starts to turn.

NO? She’s not dreaming about me? How can she be able to answer my questions? Creepy.

“No! Jaime, no...” she’s like screaming.

“Please...” she whispers softly and a little tear comes out from her eyes.

This is not good. She must be having a nightmare.

“Allie? Allie, wake up...” I shook her softly.

Her eyes sprang open like wild. She scans around the room and lets out a held sigh. She suddenly wraps her slender arms around me as she starts sobbing quietly. “Oh, Jaime. Please don’t ever leave me. Promise me. Promise me. Please.”

“No. I’m not going anywhere.” I gently rub my hands on her back. She was sleeping since we came here in my house. I never thought she would have a bad dream. “It’s alright. Don’t cry.” I don’t know if she’s really going to be okay but I know eventually. “Tell me what happened.”

She sniffles, “I was near a cliff and you were mad at me. You told me you love me but I cannot love you back and I was trying to explain things that I don’t even know and then... You jump off the cliff and died. You left me alone. Now I got nobody with me.” She cries but I can clearly understand what she was saying. My body convulses then stiffs. Christ, did I really jump off a cliff? Perhaps that is how much I love her? But, will I ever do that?

“Promise me you won’t do it. Promise me you’ll stay with me, always. Jaime, please.” She buries her face on my chest and started crying again.

“I promise, Allie. I’m never going to leave you.” I smooth her hair.

I promise.

I closed my eyes and leaned on the wall beside my bed, still hugging her. I closed my eyes for another second and realization hits me. We both fell asleep! I whip my head to my alarm, it says 2:39. We still have time to prepare. I shook her awake and I was greeted by sleepy eyes.

“Hey. We have to get ready.”

“Huh?” she mutters and covers her face with a pillow.

“It’s Candice’s birthday, remember? Classes ends earlier than usual, we have to go now.”

“Give me another five minutes.” I hear her say.

Oh, Christ. She likes sleeping all the time. I remember the first time she came into my house and she found a couch with a pillow. Chris, Martha, Jess, Candice and I were talking just for a few seconds until Martha noticed her not moving. She’s deeply asleep. Now, she doesn’t want to get up.
