After the Afterlife Chapter 4

By: Princess Vengeance

Matt's Point of View

I sat there in just plain silence at first not believing what I was hearing. It was all just so fucking surreal. When you hear someone has cancer the first thing that comes to mind is wow that's serious but with the technology we have today you'll beat it, but when it is one of your closest childhood friends the first thing that comes to mind is death.

"Jimmy I'm really sor-" Brian began. Jimmy just raised his hand to show that he didn't need anyone to be sorry for him. The same doctor passed some papers over the counter and then turned back to talk to Jimmy. He spoke aloud as if addressing all of us.

"She's resting right now. Don't stress your self out over this, your going to be a father soon. Just go home and get some rest and the test will come back as soon as next week. It could even be nothing we just wanna check."

Kassidy's Point of View

I glared in the bathroom mirror as I tied my hair up. How am I supposed to feel about all of this? I don't even know the girl and sure I feel sorry but technically I am the other woman. I sighed as I tied my pajama pants and made my way over to my bedroom. Zack lay shirtless on my bed watching Fuse. I jumped next to him.

"Felling any better?" I asked running my hand down his shoulder.

"Yeah…I'm just a little depressed by it all." I leaned closer, gave him a hug and smiled.

"Don't be…everything will be fine."

Matt's Point of View

The Next Week During Recording

"I think that's the one Jimmy," I clicked the mouse and ended the track. He still had a saddened look on his face. Everyone was anxious for the test results and we were all praying that they would be good. Jimmy walked out of the booth silently and headed over to his coat. Suddenly his cell phone rings and he picks it up.

Brian's Point of View

I sipped the beer.

"Well I was thinking that for this song I get a little solo and then you get one and like then we join…yah know like a 'Bat Country' kind of thing?" Zack spoke. I just nodded my head,

"Yeah, that would be cool." My thoughts were actually somewhere else. Summer was not exactly my favorite person in the world but Jimmy was like my blood. Watching him go through this pain just made me feel as bad as he did. What was worse was the fact that he was not letting anybody in…he was suffering alone. Zack and I walked into the main recording area only to find Johnny with his head looking to the ground and Matt with a look of disappointment on his face. Then I looked over to Jimmy. Jimmy sat there once again with his hands in his head but this time…he was crying. I couldn't see him but I just knew he was.

"Wh-what happened?" Zack questioned Matt. Matt was silent for a good moment and then he finally opened his mouth.

"Summer's test results came back," his voice was almost shaking. "Their all positive…Summer has leukemia.

Kassidy's Point of View

Late that night

I sit up in bed sweat soaking my clothes. Nightmares have been haunting me. Night after night they got more intense…it was as if they were telling me something. I strolled over to the kitchen and turned on the light. I grabbed a glass from the upper cabinet and filled it with water from the faucet. I drank quickly and placed the cup in the sink. I turned around and there at my table I saw it. It wore a white robe and its wings seemed cramped in the chair. It was an angel.

"My name is Gabriella," she spoke. "I have come with a message." I had seen angels many times flying through the afterlife as they made their way to heaven. "Your heart is in pain because you know that in that short time you were together you built up a strong and unbreakable love for Jimmy. You are trying to fool your own self by being with Zack. You are wasting your life. Nevertheless, something has come up and now you can prove to God and everyone that your life on Earth was not wasted and that it helped do something marvelous. Your life could make a miracle. If you really love Jimmy, you will give your life in order to save Summer and her unborn child. If you really love Jimmy you will die."

Watch out for Part 5!
