----- = ----- Jorge's POV ----- = -----
- So, how are you Jorge- Sage said. Oh Sage always so happy and stunning. Nothing makes me smile more than her face.
I answered her question with the most sincere words I could find.
- Jorge, could we expand a little more what we talked in the main office?
- I think there's not much more to expand. It is as simple as it sounds. I died leaving nothing behing, nothing at all. I guess what you said out there was partly true however I can't help but wonder how much better it would have been if I was know like John F. Kennedy. I can though accept I am dead and there is no going back but, that doen't stop me from having regrets.
- Jorge you are being to harsh on yourself. Maybe, you wont be able to live the life you wanted but you shouldn't let regrets stick on you and stop you from moving fore ward. Now You are Dead and you know and accept that but don't always look back instead enjoy right now. Every second counts and I belive you, being an ex senior citizen really understands that concept.
Sage was right in many points still, I died with no independence and all alone.
-Wright Jorge, how did you die?
- Well, I just died. One day, God decided I had completed some kind of mission in life and decided I should leave space for younger people. Anyways, I was old, I had Osteoporosis and really, my life was pathetic. I was all alone. My lovely wife passed always months before I did and plus, I died with no Independence. I relayed completely in the people who helped me get up, dress me, take me to the bathroom. I could do nothing alone but sleep. All of it was a misery.
As those things came out, I realized I had more regrets than the ones I thought I had. My biggest one is probably not saying 'I LOVE YOU' when I should have. Mary, the love of my life when I was eight teen. She was perfect and when I was about to propose, I wanted to say I love you but the words didn't come out. She left me that night for ever. I ended up marrying another woman, Rosy but I never loved her as much. My second biggest regret, probably not listening to my parents. They were right. I had to finish school to get a good job. I ended up working in a garage my whole life. And my third biggest regret was worrying too much about everything. I lived stressed about everything, everything was a problem. Anxiety stopped me from doing many things I wanted to do. At one point in my life, I had the chance to get a good job but, in the middle of my interview, my nerves got the best of me, just like the moment when I had to say I LOVE YOU.
- Jorge! Jorggeee! - I suddenly heard
- Are you okay? Where you day dreaming?
- Sorry I got lost in my thoughts- I said awkwardly
-That's alright
-Sage, I wanted to ask you a question from the moment I arrived, how did you die?
- I like the way you think old man, but I think we should leave that for another time.
- Jorge, let's do a little exercise. We will use this crystal ball. All we do is go down to earth and go back to some moment in your life you would like to replay, any moment. So tell me, what memory would you like to revisit.
- The day I met Mary, I remember it perfectly, I just want to see it again.
Together we held the ball and in no time we were back in 1968.
We were watching the scene but from 2034. Everything looked just like I remembered it.
-Sage look that's me!
- Yeah, wanna narrate the story?
- Sure
- There is little Jorge, the young and awkward Jorge. As he walked in the school gate, marry bumped into him, making all of her books fall down. Jorge being the gentleman he was, decided to pick them up and put them in her arms. Marry laughed and after a short terrible conversation they exchanged numbers. From that moment, they saw each other every single day until he forgot to say..
Tears started to run down my face
- We should head back to my office.
Even back in her office tears came down uncontrollably.
- I want to die
- Jorge, you are already dead
- right.
- See you tomorrow.
