It was Charlotte all over again and I was sure that I might not last long enough to see myself destroy every part of me. Magenta was getting the treatment but doctor already said she was way past saving. I cursed myself, her and everyone around her for not giving her treatment when required. But that did no good.
The thought that she was dying was painful but what was even more painful, seeing her fall into that death. Her severe headaches, her sudden blindness, her paralytic attacks and her fumbling for words. I was watching the source of my life being gradually sucked out of light.
And yet all through this she smiled, just smiled for me.
I detest everything in the world and I was intolerable when she was not around but she worked like a charm and I felt myself calming down. My director was displeased, my co-actors hated me while my manager and team somehow kept the media at bay.
As the last shot ended I rushed to collect my things and get neat Magenta as soon as possible. I felt fucking oxygen deprived without her like my heart was too heavy to breathe. Yeah sue me, I was addicted to her presence even when I knew she was dying.
"Let's go out for a drink Jeremy, just as friends or co-workers." Sapphire came to me.
"I don't want to even look at you right now Sapphire, I have more important things to do." Blame my crappy mood these days for the response.
She seemed a little shocked but nodded accepting her defeat.
As I sat down in the car after a tiring day my eyes closed and last night's image flashed before my mind. The pain Magenta was in was severe and it made almost choke on breath just thinking about it. Like a fool, I realised the warm tears trickling down my face.
"Can we go to the fighting club?" I asked Ash who was somehow tolerating all my shit.
"Back to square one Jeremy, you made enemies with some messy people." He reminded me.
But I needed a relief from all this pain that was choking me.
And like God didn't want me to feel better my phone rang. It was Magenta and I realised she made me forget everything else.
"Yes," I asked as soon as I picked up the call.
"It's raining." She said and I had to roll my eyes for her way of conversation.
"Yeah Magenta, I can see that."
"I have this thing on my list." She said feeling hesitant for some reason.
"And?"
"Just wait for me downstairs when you come." She said and hung up before I could respond.
I hate rain, I hate getting all drenched in a shower but she was asking me to wait for her.
I called her as soon as I reached and she came down running in nothing more than shorts and t-shirt even though the weather was getting colder now.
