Life As Jade

Chapter Four

A/N: HELLO!!!!!

OK, I’M DONE; YOU CAN READ ON NOW...

_UNEDITED_

∞ JANE ∞

“Doc, how is she?” Mom shakily asked.

“Ma’m we tried everything we could but... I'm afraid you daughter has fallen in to a comatose state.” He said sadly and I immediately bursted into more tears.

After what he said I spent another 2 days beside her, waiting for her awakening but received nothing. Her winter break is closing up soon and I needed to be there in New York before that.

I told mom about it and she confessed that this is the reason why they were fighting.  After explaining she smiled and said ‘Don’t be too long, it might get a little lonely here.’.

So now I was packing for New York, ¼ of the clothes are mine and the rest are hers since I do have to be her.

I closed the zipper and threw my suitcase to the side. I then flopped on my bed and checked the time on the clock.

8:15 PM

Too early to sleep. Though my flight is around 6 am it is way too early for me.

The room was quite. The silence was deafening my ears as memories and thought raced through my mind like a marathon and the next thing I know it warm tears start to stream down my face.

Am I really ready for this? To step out of my comfort zone? Not having Jade around to protect me and all? What if they catch me? What’ll I do then? What if I just humiliate myself??? And what if they find out?!

Oh wait I said that already but still!

I need to calm down, collect myself and relax.

I stand up, walk over to my closet before taking one of my many bathing suits—courtesy to Jade for all of these bathing suits—and walk in the gigantic bathroom, me and Jade once shared, locking the door behind me before stripping down, changing into the bathing suit and hopping into the bathtub with a shower, turning the temperature to warm.   

I sit down and on the bath tub and start crying and thinking.

This is my crying place, or maybe my happy place.

I've always loved the rain so I'm really gonna miss Seattle, and just sitting in the rain just made me feel okay and it make me feel like a weakling for crying. No one would notice I was crying if I were to sit in the rain. It was just comfortable for me.

Call me weird and all but we all have our own happy place.

When I had problems and it was raining, I would grab an oversized black shirt and old short before walking out to the back where our pool sat. I’d sit on the edge and planted my feet in while it was raining and just think. Of course when jade was there we would do it together. Although we get sick sometimes we heal easily since my mom has always kept us healthy.

I remembered when we first did it.

<<<FLASHBACK TO 9 YEARS AGO<<<<

“It’s raining again.” 9 year-old Jade announces and I just shake my head gently.

Jade got bullied by some meanies today so she’s really sad. Plus it was raining.

Bullies+Jade+Sad Rain= Very, very, sad Jade.

“What’s new twin?” I ask her setting my toys down to focus on Jade.

“It’s just so depressing. The mood is. It seems as if we should be grieving or something.” She replies, still staring out our window.

“What does gravy have anything to do with rain?” I ask, tilting my head to the side since I didn’t understand what ‘gravy’ had to do with our conversation.

“I said grieving Jane, not GRAVY!” She pointed out laughing and I am confused even more.

“Huh? What does that mean?” I ask.

“I don’t know.” She shrugged and I smile.

Suddenly a light bulb seems to light up in my head.

I grab Jade’s arms and start to drag her but I fail since she was like stone heavy.

“What are you doing Jane?” she asked, her brows joined.

“Lets go play! At the pool!” I cheerily suggest and she shakes her head.

“No way Jane! We might get sick!” she stated and it was my turn to shake my head.

“So? We heal fast remember! And it'll only be awhile!” I pointed out and she looks at me seriously.

“But Jane—“

“I know you want to...” I taunted and she flashed me a small smile.

“Okay fine.”

>>>BACK TO THE FUTURE>>>>>

That was 3 months before the accident.

We were so happy and joyful with our lives and constantly did that whenever it rained.

Sometimes we got sick, sometimes not.

After the accident we didn’t do it for another 4 or 5 years.

Well at least not me.

After an hour of sitting here—sulking and wasting water—I changed back into a new set of clothes go wet when drying myself off.  I flop onto my bed, trying to get as comfy as I could before darkness took over and before I knew it I was fast asleep.

>THE NEXT DAY<

“Bye Mom.” I cry shakily as I hug my mom for the last time for the next 3 months.

“Take care Ja-Jade, okay? I love you.” She stammered holding me tight.

Mom is already calling me Jade because of the fear that someone my find out. You just never know right?

“Remember to call me every week. I send money into your credit card every month since you are still unable to get a job. But that’s okay.” She elaborates and I can’t help but feel embarrassed of that fact that a college girl would still be depending on her mother for money.

I am seriously so ashamed.

The lady in the intercom says something about my flight boarding, I give my mom a squeeze one more time before walking away.

Well this is goodbye Seattle.

A/N: SORRY IF ITS SHORT! AND IF EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING TOO FAST I'm SO SORRY! BUT I’LL START TO SLOW DOWN AS SOON AS JANE GETS TO NEW YORK, UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE.. BYE!
