The tears crept down my face, as I stared at her pale one. I loosely gripped her hand and ran my thumb over her knuckles, willing her to grip back, to move. I lifted it and let my lips graze over it, a chaste kiss lingering on her porcelain skin, that was so cold and so lifeless. Using my free hand I traced the tubes that were sustaing her life, my hand resting on her cheek afterwards. I couldn't stop the crushing feeling of being helpless... hopeless even in respect to the love of my life laying in her death bed.
How did we get into this mess Perrie? How did all this happen? We were so happy together, so in love. Then I had to ruin it by confessing my love for you to the world. Oh Perrie I was so deluded, I thought everyone would accept us the way Leigh, Jes, Mam, Dad, Debbie, Alex, Jon, Karl and Cait did, I thought we were fine. But I was wrong, I was so wrong. I never belived they would rip you from me. I never believed they would leave you hanging in the balance. Never believed they would ... would shoot you.
" 'Scuse me Miss, but a doctor is here to talk to you about ..." she hesitates seeing the sorrow in my red, puffy eyes "about the next step" I simply nod and watch as she leaves to be replaced by a tall man with dark hair, a calming smile on his face.
"Ms. Thirlwasll, my name is Dr Robinson and I'll be discussing Ms. Edward's condition with you" he said kindly, taking a seat next to me, holing my hand comfortingly. I just smiled weakly and allowed him to continue, "Ms. Thirlwall, I'm afraid Ms. Edwards..."
"Perrie, call her Perrie," I interupted, grasping her hand tightly.
"I'm afraid Perrie is not expected to make it through 'til morning ... I'm truely sorry" He added as an inhuman sound crept up my throat and issued out of my slightly parted lips. "She is likely to wake up for a short while, in which you may say goodbye to each other before she slips into a short coma and passes in her sleep painlessly. My condolences Jade, there is no more I can do for her."
"Thank you doctort, for everything" I managed to whisper so queitly I was certain he hadn't heard.
"That is no problem, just call if you need anything. My deepest apologies, she seems like a lovely woman, too young to go this way."
"She was sir, twice the woman I'll ever be. She was loved, is loved by so many and will be surely missed." I explained to him, he simply smiled, rose from the chair and excited the room, leaving me to desparately hold onto my love, my one and only. My saving grace and my hero, as I sobbed uncontrollably.
I must have stayed like that for a little while because I soon felt two pairs of arms wrap around my body, I turned my face to their jumper and inhaled Leigh's familiar scent as I cried into her chest.
"Oh Jay, I'm so sorry love, the doctor told us about Pez." She said, her voice hollow and croaky.
"I just can't believe it, why did it have to be her?" I asked, my voice sounding much like Leigh's.
"I don't know J, but we have to be strong for her as she takes her final steps." Jesy's shaky voice reminded me.
"I know, I... I ... just don't know how I'm supposed to raise a family without her." I sobbed fiddling with the hem of my jumper that was hiding my small bump.
"What? J are you serious?" Jesy asked spinning me around so I was facing her. I weakly nodded and she squealed before saying "congratulations J, don't worry Leigh and I will be here the entire time we're not going anywhere."
"Congrats Jadey, Jesy's right we'll be here for you all the time darling." Leigh added.
"She didn't know, I was going to tell her over diner tonight until ..." I explained unable to continue as a fresh set of tears began streaming down my face.
"I'm sorry Jade, I really am. You'll be able to tell her later when she wakes up, even if it is only for a short time." Jesy told me, I simply nodded and glanced back at my girl, wishing we were far away from this situation.
Suddenly I felt the grip tighten on my hand and watched as her eyelids opened to reveal the oceanic eyes I had fallen in love with.
"P-Pez." I stuttered quietly, gripping her hand back.
"Jay?" She replied looking at me, smiling slightly.
"Oh Perrie, I love you, I love you so so much." I said holding back the tears and attempting to be as strong as possible.
"I love you too buba. Jade, what happened?" She asked and I sighed looking to the girls next to me for support.
"Pezza, someone was unhappy with you and J and they ... they shot you." Jesy explained whispering the last few words.
"But I'm going to be ok?" She asked looking to me for reassurance I could only manage to shake my head, as the tears began to fall again. She tentatively wiped them away and kissed my hands, as Leigh began to explain to her.
"I'm afraid that they said that you won't make the morning. You ... you'll fall into a c-coma and pass in your sleep painlessly, I'm so sorry you had so much of your life ahead of you."
"No matter we'll just have to live for the night J." She said looking to me with sorrowful eyes but still a little twinkle in them.
"I guess, Pez, I don't know how to live without you." I confessed, as she opened her arms of me, I wriggled onto the bed and laid next to her.
"We'll leave you two alone, just come out if you need us." Jesy said as her and Leigh began to leave the room "oh and Pez, we love you to the moon and back, don't you forget that," she added, Leigh nodding sadly next to her. Perrie simply smiled and blew them a kiss. Jesy mimed catching it, bringing her hand to her heart as the tears escaped her eyes. They left the room wrapped in each other and Perrie turned back to me looking into my eyes.
"You'll do it Baba, I believe you will, you can." She said into the top of my head.
"But how am I going to cope ... now ... now I'm pregnant?" I asked quietly.
She looked at me with wide eyes, "shut up really, oh my god Jay, are you ok, how are you feeling, are you ok to be here?" She reeled.
"Yes I'm fine to be here, I'm feeling fine, if a little weak. I've known since 4 weeks and I'm 8 now." I explained "but how am I supposed to do it without you?"
"You'll be great, I don't doubt that Jadey," she said confidently, resting her hand on my bump. "We'll always be together, Jadey. I love you" she leaned in and kissed me and I heard the monitor go flat and felt her grip relax on my hand.
"I love you too."
😭😩😢 Wow so that was sad and not planned at all, I guess it just works like that sometimes.
