That Guy Next Door

The Unexpected Downpour

Andrew's POV

  I opened my eyes, and the pain in my leg came back. I sat up, just in time as Jason came in my room. He was walking towards me, and I could tell he was angry. " This is all your fault!" He yelled, and his voice echoed through out the room. " If you hadn't come here in the first place none of this would have happened! None of us would be in this shitty hospital right now, I wouldn't have ever met your sorry ass, and Jesse wouldn't be in a Coma!" I was about to yell back,until I heard the last few words that tumbled out of his mouth.

  " Wait, Jesse is in a co-" " Oh don't act like you didn't know, you asshole! That girl is the love of my life, and now she might not even wake up since your worthless piece of shit came here and messed everything up!"

"Now hold on! Don't you act like I don't care about her! She was the love of my life once too! And if I would've known she was in a coma I wouldn't be sitting here right now, listening to you going off on me! Now I know you're upset, and so am I but that gives you no right to come in here and call me an ass! Now come on, we are going down there!"

  I took my time standing up, with my injuries and grabbed my crutches. I began to walk out the door, and looked over at jason. Is face was red, and I could see streaks of new and old tears. His mouth was in a straight line, and I don't think I've ever seen him so upset. " Come on"  I said waving my hand forward.

   I couldn't believe the news I had just heard. Jesse is in a coma. My Jess. The girl I had known practically my entire life. The girl who had my heart. My first love, my first kiss. I remember that day vividly. We were sitting out in the field behind my house, watching the cows graze on the farm I grew up on. She was picking dandelions, and bunching them together, and I was just watching her. I picked one up, and set it in her dark locks. She turned and smiled at me, blushing. And I couldn't help but think she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my 8 years. I leaned down closer to her, and I remember how it felt to kiss her. It was amazing, and I knew even then that I loved her.

  I woke up from my daydream, as we got to her door. It looked like she was just asleep, but my self conscience knew better. I felt the saddness in my heart, and the tears began to well up in my eyes. There was one thought running through my mind at that moment, as I heard the beeping of the machines around her. " I will always love you Jesse Brooks." And as I looked over to my left, I could tell that Jason was thinking the exact same thing, as he stared straight ahead at her face with no expression but there was a hint of saddness and fear for her in his eyes.
