Are We Really Friends? (Completed)

Epilouge: Regrets

Epilouge

*Jace's P.O.V.*

As she lay there motionless on the hospital bed, she will never know who stayed by her side, always.

***

Just when I was about to confess to her that day, an SUV crashed her head on and all I could do was watch in horror. I hadn't bothered to call out to her when I saw the SUV. But I remembered the ambulance, the kind nurse and the kind man, Roy Alan. As her death may be near, she was sent straight to the ICU.

A month before this incident, I had broke that friendship bond with her by force. My sister, Hannah, had forced me to break it because of her own grudge against her and I was forced to comply. Just a month after that, this whole thing happened.

"Jason Stone?" A deep voice called out.

I looked up to the doctor's face with dazed eyes and tears hot behind my eyes.

"How is she?" I asked, although my voice sounds like a frog's.

"Her conditions stable but she's in a coma.."

I thought I heard wrongly and rubbed my eyes before asking, "A coma? For how long?"

He just shook his head. "That, we're not sure... I'm sorry."

A coma huh? And all because of me... If I had just--

I placed my head in my hands and forced myself not to cry. I heard footsteps approaching and tried to control myself.

"Doctor!" A shrill voice called out. "How's my niece?"

I sniffled, picked myself together and looked up to find Angie's aunt grabbing onto the doctor's hand. He tried to break her grip but--

Before I was even aware, Sarah Alan grabbed me by the collar and slammed me against the opposite wall. Stars burst before my eyes as I tried to get my bearings.

"What are you doing here?!" She shouted --or more like, screamed-- into my face.

I groaned and was flung onto the stone-cold floor. My body raked from trainings and pain started to take toll of my body.

"You--" she was cut off by another booming voice.

"Enough!" Roy Alan, my psychiatrist and Angie's dad, shouted over. "Take a hold of her Richard!"

The doctor --Richard-- held Sarah back and she struggled out of his grip.

"Are you alright, Jace?" He asked.

Still in a daze, I allowed him to help me up. Then, I tried to use the wall for support.

"Ease on it," he said. Then, he held onto my shoulders to keep me upright. "Are you sure you're alright?"

I wasn't aware of my surroundings and I felt the floor tilting. Or was it me? For all I know, I was guided to a seat and I sat.

"Thanks," I croaked, my voice distant. Then, I looked towards Roy and Richard. "Can I go see her?"

Roy gave me a curt nod and Richard nodded almost too brightly. I smiled weakly and went into her room.

"Oh Angie," I whispered as I sat down. "Oh babe, what have I done to you? Just... Why--" I broke into uncontrollable sobs.

"Angie I'm so sorry. I should've -- I should've stood up for myself! Angie, I'm so sorry.. I--" I broke off as memories of us under the oak tree flashed in my head.

FLASHBACK

"We're still keeping secrets from each other," I said that day.

Hannah had swimmimg practice so I had this chance to talk to Angie once again. It's just that, she seem to be avoiding me on other occasions.

"Jace," she slurred my name. I like the way it sounded, coming from her. "I know you've been through a lot so I'll always try to be there by your side... So, I guess.. No more secrets kept from each other?"

I turned and laid my charms on her. She blushed. Slightly. "No secrets kept. Pinky promise?"

She chuckled and I blushed. "A promise is a promise. Let's get into each others secrets now.. Who's first?"

I grinned. "Ladies first!"

What I didn't expect was for her to open up so easily. She told a lot about herself, her family and... Her mom.

"I'm sorry," I said, as I was a lost for words.

"Don't be," she replied. "I've been through a lot more worse than that. Enough about me, how 'bout you?"

END FLASHBACK

"I have so many things to tell you," I whispered. "So many that only you would understand. So please, wake up.. Wake up so I can let you in on my secrets.."

I laid my head on her bed, too tired from the lack of sleep and crying. It was my turn to rest for the night. I'll always be by your side, I promise you that. Soon, I was consumed by sleep.
