My Ex-friend, a Wish and Me

Chapter 8 (Can we be friends?)

Chapter 8     Can we be friends?

Vivienne’s POV

“...Can we be friends again? I really miss hanging out with you,” Jared told me. His face and eyes were full of guilt and sadness.

“Well… I don’t know Jared,” I told him, “You have broken me more than once. I don’t know if I can ever forgive you.”

I saw Jared’s face drop. She looked disappointed about what I told her. Jared let out a sigh and spoke, “Viv, I am truly deeply sorry for what I did. It was uncalled for and I regret it.”

“I know you’re sorry but I’m not sure that I forgive you for what you did,” I told her softly.

“What if I told you what truly went down? Would you then consider being friends?”  

"I don't know, Jared," I sighed. He really wasn't going to stop till we became friends.

"Just give me a chance to say my side of the story," he persisted.

"Okay, you can tell your side of the story," I gave in.

"The day you came home all beaten to shit and all is where I'll start. I was mad that you lied, Vivienne. You didn't have to lie to me. I would have been less mad at you. I do though wish that you called me so I could help but sometimes in a fight it's hard to do that. I also wish that my brother wasn't a whip and had stuck up for himself," Jared explained.

So he's mad at me for lying and his brother being a whimp. I let out a sarcastic laugh, "Your mad at me because you're disappointed in your brother?"

"No, well yes. I wanted to hate you because I like you Vivienne. I'm falling for you more and more everytime I see you. I couldn't stand staying in the friendzone any longer and need someway to end it," Jared told my honestly.

I knew he was being honest because I can see it in his eyes. I looked into them and saw what I saw years ago. A guy who I liked. I always friend zoned him because I didn't think he liked me back but the truth is he has liked me back. I don't know for how long but he had liked me. I felt my heart flutter but I didn't know what to do.

"Vivienne, please just say something," Jared pleaded.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Jared. He looked torn between heartbreak and happiness. The least I can do is give him hope.

"Jared... I've had feelings for you too," I told him.

A look of surprise crossed Jared's face when I told him but the look slowly turned into a happy grin. He leaned closer to me and placed his hands gently on my face. He gradually leaned in closer. He was only millimeters away when I closed my eyes. Soon after I felt his lips on mine. It felt amazing. Our lips moved in sync. Jared's tongue grazed my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and he slipped his tongue into it. A short while later Jared pulled back but not all the way our foreheads were still touching. He looked at me with such desire.

"Does that mean we're gonna give this a try?" He asked.

"Yeah, we can try as long as it's more then friends," I told him.

He smiled before he spoke, "For sure!"

I let out a small laugh. He really was goofy. I missed him so much.  

I spent another week in the hospital. The doctors were still worried about me because I would slip into and out of a coma. They never lasted longer than a couple of days. The longest one was two days and I guess I scared Jared pretty badly cause when I woke up she was pacing around the room.

I looked to the left and saw her sleeping. Jared looked so peaceful and content. Is that how I look when I sleep? I smiled. Jared is mine and only mine. I started to feel drowsy again and my eyes started to get heavy. I wasn't feeling sleepy. This isn't normal what's happening? I went to reach for the button but I couldn't find it. In front of me there was a white light. I wanted to go towards it. I let my eyes close as I got closer. I walked through this white light and had two options to go to. It looked like an easy route or a hard route. To my left was my school full of people. They seemed to be laughing at something or som

.eone. They looked like bullies but I couldn't see their faces. To my right was a white room with lots of doors. I looked back to my left and saw faces. They were making fun of me! They were my friends that had turned on me but I saw Jared sticking up for me. I smiled. I turned my head back to the right. My parents were now standing there talking but I couldn't hear them. I frowned. I looked between the two ways. What way should I take?

 

☮Jared’s POV☮

Beeeeppp! I woke up with a startle. I looked around and saw Vivienne sittin on the bed with the heart machine beeping. I jumped up and pushed the emergency button. Why hadn't a nurse come yet? Where are they? What's taking so long? Vivienne's dying and they're taking their sweet time? I looked at his face. Worry was written all over it. She felt it coming. I looked around as I pushed the button. Vivienne's handed was inches from the button. He felt himself start to die and Vivienne tried to ask for help. The one time Vivienne asks for help and he might die? What kind of world is this?

Finally a nurse came into the room followed by a doctor. What took them so long? Did they have to take a piss first? Vivienne could be dying here!

"What took you guys so fuckig long?" I screamed at them.

"It only took us a couple of seconds to get to her," the nurse said calmly as she tried to pry my hand from vivienne's. I kept it gently wrapped around his. I wasn't going to lose him again. Once is enough and I was lucky to get Vivienne back. I wasn't going to lose him again and for good this time.

"You need to leave so we can make sure he's okay," the nurse said kindly.

"No," I snapped.

I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. Who the fuck is pulling me away from Vivienne? I fought against the person which caused me to let go of vivienne's hand and let the person pull me out of the room. I continued fighting with whoever it was until they set me down. I turned around and faced my brother.

"It's a good thing that vivienne's really light because I wouldn't have been able to carry you out otherwise," Matt joked.

I punched him. He stumbled backwards but regained his posture. He looked confused but waited for more blows. He knew I needed to he my anger out and this was the only way. To hit things. I walked over to him and hit him again. I kept hitting him until he caught my wrists in his hands.

"Stop, Jared," Matt told me.

"Your killing her!" I screamed at him.

"I know. I'm sorry," he whispered.

"She's dying!" I yelled.

"I know," Matt said.

“She… She’s dying,” I burst out into tears and collapsed to the ground. I sat on the ground crying. Matt went to reach for me but I smacked him away. I didn’t need his sympathy. Vivienne was dying and it was all my fault. If I hadn’t of fought with him then he would have been fine. Vivienne would have been laughing and smiling in her own body. Vivienne would be dying in my body.

“Jared,” Matt spoke. I looked up, “Vivienne will be alright. She’s strong and can pull through. She never gave up on you. She always hoped that you would walk back into her life and be her best friend again. She truly did love you. Now stop being a pussy and think what's best for Vivienne. Would Vivienne be complaining and putting herself down right now?”

Matt left me to think over what he just said. He was right. Vivienne wouldn’t be complaining right now. She would be thinking positively and trying to help the best way she could. Right now the only thing I could do is stay strong and hope she comes out alive.

Hey guys! I'm back with a new update. 

Sorry that I've been gone for a while. I've been trying to get back into the groove of high school again plus going to a new school is pretty hard to adapt to. I was going through my chapters today rereading what I wrote when I stumbled upon a chapter I had writen a couple weeks ago. I guess I forgot that I had writen it! I tweaked it abit and wala a new chapter! Hope you enjoyed it.
