 Titanic

 

     “What?!” We both said after a great pause.

     “Well, it was only expected that you wouldn’t remember. “ He said with a sad smile.

     How could I be this person’s boyfriend? I don’t even know him…Well, not any more. I thought we were just friends, at least in the memory we were. I’m in love with Usami.

     I looked over at Usami, who was looking at the ground. Could he not even look at me? What have I done?

     “Usami, I didn’t kn…” I was interrupted by the sound of his beeper. He looked at me and in his eyes i saw sadness. “I…”

     “I have to go.” He left without another word.”

     “We’re better off without him.” Tobias said.

     “SHUT UP! This is your fault.” I screamed, anger flowing over the rim of my mind. “Usami wouldn’t be so angry if it weren’t for you.” Tears ran down my face and I tried desperately to stop them as I stormed out of the I.C.U.

     Where was i supposed to go now? I know, John! He could always cheer me up. It’s the perfect time to go see him.

 I raced over to my old wing and down the hall to the left; forth door to the right; room 106. I knocked on the door and opened it.

    “Hey!” I said to an empty room. Where could he have gone? Did he leave the hospital already? I ran to the nearest nurses’ station.

    “Umm…ma’am?” I said trying to get the attention of a plump African American woman wearing bright pink scrubs; she reminded me of someone. “Do you know if the boy in room 106, John Hunters, was moved?”

    “Oh honey.” Her faced dropped. “He paced away about a week ago. I’m so sorry.”

      I felt the blood drain from my fingertips as if i were holding them upside down for way too long. I couldn’t swallow and i began to feel my mind slowly consuming me; it was much stronger now.

     “Did you know him well?” She waited for my reply and when I didn’t, concern cross over her face. “It will be okay. He’s in a better place now…With no more pain.”

     I couldn’t feel my body anymore and the way I felt I know what’s happening; it’s happened once before. My body collapsed to the floor and as if in another body I watched from above as the seizer took over my real body.

     “Honey?! Nurse, Get a crash cart now!” She said racing around the counter to check my pulse. And the darkness grabbed my current second body by the ankles and dragged me into it depths.
