The Day He Came Back To My Life [COMPLETED July 2015]

Chapter Eighteen - Irina's TRUE Feelings

Jessica's POV

Oh my god, you would never believe what happened yesterday evening. I really thought it was really over since everybody left and Mike and I were practically the only ones left in the hospital waiting for Vince to wake up. I guess she still cared. I mean not CARED with the e-d because she still does and even tomorrow. So she still CARES about him.

When I thought I was in love with John, I thought he cared about me. You know what I'm saying? Well, I think I was also the problem because he already told me FACE TO FACE that (Well, not literally face-to-face because John isn't really the type of guy or person who would so something that cruel because... I don't really know. He never cared talking to me) he likes Mae, and not me. 

But really, I thought I would die when it finally sunk in my head that the chances of him ever liking me are like, zero. Maybe even negative one thousand or something. Because hey, let's face it. I talk too much. Mae can barely even take it. When we were in high school, there was this time when Mae told me to shut up. Like LITERALLY. Like, shut up. Shut your trap or else I'll put tape on them. Well, her message wasn't that harsh the way I just said it because Mae does not  do that. 

Here is what actually happened.

Me: Did you videotape everything that happened?

Mae (trying to review her notes for her period 6 test): Later Jess...

Me: I mean, I really thought I was gonna lose. It was just a miracle. I didn't even think I would win. Hello, Mae, Ryan Lee was the best swimmer in their school in Korea. Everyone practically know him. Well, who wouldn't, right? But really-

Mae (without looking up at me): Later, you know I didn't review, I had to work finish stacking those CDs, and guess what, he paid me overtime.

Me: I even sprained my left shoulder when I jumped into that humongous pool, like really. I thought I was going to drown because I couldn't move a muscle. Which everyone probably noticed. 

Mae (finally looked up): JESS! Can you be quiet for a minute? Even just a minute? Can't you see I need to finish this. I am not a genius like you who does not need to review. So if you'll excuse me, I so need some silence here.  

But, yeah, that's what happened.

So Mike told me that he was just going to buy us some chicken soup and some sushis, it was like, around 11:45 p.m. I told him I would wait in Vince's room and that I will see him there. 

After he left, me and Vince had another conversation. Here's how it went.

Me: Sup, Vince... How are you feeling? I have a lot of things to tell you. And I know you're going to laugh.

Me: There was this time when I wanted to pull a prank on you because you hung out with Irina so much, and during that time, I wanted Gab to hang around he rmore. But apparently, it didn't happen. 

Me: So I was waiting for you to go come to the vending machine so that the slime I planned for you will spill on the right time, but you didn't come and Gab was the one who came. So it spilled on him...

Me: (Laughed a little...) Don't you think it's funny?

Me: (A period of silence) ...

Me: (Teary eyes...) So Vince... please wake up. I am very positive that she's almost coming... 

And then I held his hand and placed my head beside him. I thought, "Pfft, why do I even bother?" 

So after Vince and I had that conversation, Mike came and we ate. And as usual, he made me laughed. He eased the pain away and I was able to smile again.
