I got back to my apartment and lied down onto the couch. Thoughts buzzed through my mind.
Susannah…. She was my guardian angel.
I eventually fell asleep.
I was standing in her hospital room. The room was bright, and she had lots of tubes attached to her body.
Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing every 20 seconds. A doctor eventually came into the room.
He put his hand on my shoulder.
"Jesse… Susannah is not going to make it."
I screamed, and ran out of the room.
About 30 minutes later I came back, and Susannah was still lying there.
"Jesse… Susannah is dead."
I woke up, and I was breathing hard.
Susannah.
I jumped up off of the couch and ran out of the door, getting into the car and speeding down the highway.
I got off of the highway and turned into the hospital, running into the building. I ran down the halls and burst through Susannah's room.
CeeCee materialized in front of me, blocking the view of Susannah.
"JESSE! NO!" She said pushing me out the door, closing and locking it behind me.
Oh no. It's all coming true!! I screamed in my head.
No more Susannah?
I don't think I can live…
I blacked out.
I woke up again in a room in the hospital.
Another doctor was looking at me, but I pushed him away and ran out of the door.
Right when I got to Susannah's door, Adam came out and screamed when he saw me.
"JESSE! What are you doing here?" He asked, scratching his head.
"Seeing Susannah. NOW MOVE!!" I screamed, pushing him out of the way.
"Jesse!!!" He said, pulling my arm. "Let's go get something to eat." He replied nervously.
"No! I MUST see Susannah!!" I screamed, tugging at my arm.
"JESSE! NO!!!" he screamed, pushing me down the hallway.
Oh no, Something must be wrong.
As I got up, someone behind me pulled me back down.
"Rico. I like you better on the ground. So STAY that way."
"Slater…." I growled, standing up again. "What are YOU doing here?" I asked.
"You should know Rico. She IS your girlfriend."
"I don't know. I haven't been able to see her yet."
"Rico, you idiot, Susannah, your precious Querida has only a couple of minutes left to live. If you didn't know that, you don't really care about her." He said, walking away, and into her room.
"ADAM!!" I screamed. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME??"
"'Cause I didn't know how to." He said timidly.
"LET ME INTO HER ROOM!!" I screamed. Adam was blocking the entrance.
"Make me." He said.
I tackled him to the ground, and started to punch him. The next thing I knew we were rolling on the floor, kicking and punching each other. I eventually got a bloody nose, and my hair and un-tucked, wrinkled shirt was bathed in sweat. I pushed him off and ran into the room.
"jesse." Susannah whispered, barely audible.
"SUSANNAH!!" I screamed running over to her and grabbing her hand. She was cold.
"jesse I love you." She said, and she closed her eyes and her whole body became stiff as her chest stopped moving.
The doctor came over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Jesse… Susannah is dead."
I nodded as tears fell down my cheeks.
Adam, Paul, and the doctor left without saying a word.
"I love you too." I mumbled as I left the room, and got into the car, driving all the way home. When I got home, I laid down onto the couch and started to cry.
Then, I turned my head and saw a shimmering person standing next to me. She put her hand on my shoulder as she said one word,
"Jesse."
