Title: An Eternal Love, A Night of Affair
Chapter 14: For Me
Paige couldn't stop thinking about Jimmy and how much she wanted him throughout the night. She could barely sleep a wink thinking of Jimmy and how he looked as he laid in the hospital bed, practically dead. School has been closed for week, so Paige had no reason to get up the next morning. It didn't matter anyway, she didn't sleep at all during the night. Every minute Paige spent woke, was another minute spent on Jimmy. Paige couldn't help herself anymore, she rushed on a quick shirt and a skirt with some high heel shoes and began to walk out the door.
Paige used her parents car to drive to the hospital, she could hardly keep her eyes dry enough the look at the road before her. Paige found herself in front of the hospital soon enough and she quickly ran through the building, employees staring at he as she ran through the hallways. Paige ran into Jimmy's door and looked at him. His eyes were open and he wasn't in an oxygen mask either. He looked up and Paige and smiled. "Where's the fire?" He asked in a laughing attitude. "Oh Jimmy!" Paige screamed in relief as she rushed in for a hug. "Loosen your grip..." He whispered, still feeling pain from the bullet.
"Sorry." She whispered back as she smiled into his face. "I love you Jimmy!" Paige said as she gave him a kiss on the lips. " I... Love... You... Too." Jimmy managed to reply between kisses. After Paige gave Jimmy his last kiss, she heard the door open. She figured it was a doctor or nurse, wondering why she ran through the hallways. She only found Hazel, standing up with a straight spine. "Hey... Hazel." Jimmy whispered nearly under his breath. Hazel hid a smirk behind her face of hurt and tears and managed to speak back. "Hi... Jimmy." Paige began to walk out the door, but Hazel grabbed her and pushed her back into her position.
"Don't leave. I will." Hazel said as she walked outside the door. "Why do you always have to be like this?" Paige asked as she walked toward the door. "What the hell are you talking about?!?" Hazel asked as she walked back into the door. "Look, it's hard for me to do, but I just wanted to tell you how I felt." "I'm listening..." Paige said as she looked at Hazel.
"Spinner... He's a nice guy. He's funny, cute, and even faithful most of the time... But I'll never date him, because I know our position as friends! I know we should never cross that line! And if you felt... That you and Jimmy had to cross that line... Then you must really love him..." Hazel said with her head down. "You mean... You'll forgive me?" Paige asked in a relief. "I mean... I'll try." Hazel said as she gave Paige a hug. "But I'll never forgive Jimmy. I can't... He broke me heart far more than words can ever explain. I would've given my life tomorrow if I could've comforted Jimmy when he got shot. I loved him... But now... He loves you..." Hazel said as she left the room in tears. Paige turned to Jimmy and realized his head was down.
"Jimmy... If you ever need me..." Paige was broken off by Jimmy's cracking voice. "Leave... Please." Jimmy said pointing toward the door. Paige was real confused why he didn't come to her for comfort, but she tried to walk out and leave it out her mind. 'Why?' Paige asked herself, daring herself to give Jimmy comfort. 'Tomorrow.' She responded as she walked out the hospital and began to walk home, asking herself why she was crying.
Editor's Note: Dream on! I'm going to keep this story to it's full intent! Ha! Take that for competition Cillaty! And also, I actually had other reason to make that up, so I could start on further projects. I guess I'll have to work on them all at the same time.
