Chapter 38 – A breakup
"Claire's in a coma?" Gray asked, with a lump in his throat.
Elli nodded sadly. "She was injured very badly…"
Gray pushed Elli out of the way and ran in the other room. Around the bed, doctors were crowding around and were operating on her. Gray examined the thin, helpless body on the bed. His eyes moved towards her blonde headed head. Blood was gushing out continuously. Her head was cracked open, and from the x-ray that he could see, her skull was cracked. Weak, he fell on the floor. He felt nauseous. Who would do this to Claire? Who knew that someone could be so inhumane?
"I-I'm sorry Gray." A small voice said behind him.
He turned around slightly and saw ballet flats and a long floral patterned dress. Something Kailee would wear. He turned around and saw the girl he didn't want to see.
"I'm sorry Gray…" she whispered once again.
He picked himself up and faced her. "Sorry can't fix anything now. Can it?" He pushed her gently aside and made his way out of the hospital.
"G-Gray! You-your hurt!" she called out to him.
"Claire's more hurt more."
He unplugged all the wiring and tubes connected on him and walked outside. The blonde headed girl was the only one on his mind. She was all he could think about. Why? Why did she have to be injured? Why did it have to happen to the both of them? They were enjoying their life and something like this comes up? Why?
He continued to walk through the dark, lonely street of Mineral town. Minuted that seemed like hours passed by. Gray's eyes were lifeless. His face was blank. Now, he didn't know what to think about, Claire, Kailee, Kai… Their relationship. It seemed like because of Gray, Claire was getting endangered. He didn't want her to get hurt anymore, physically.
'I have to end this…' he thought. 'This is gonna hurt us both, but, we're gonna move on right?... Hopefully.'
-Next Day- (Claire's POV)
Everything was dark. I couldn't see anything. But there was a light in the distance. Gray. He was standing in the light. Was he inviting me? I walked towards him, but, every time I walked towards him he would walk further and further into the light. I started running after him. But it was no use.
"Claire…" a faint whisper came from him. "I'm sorry… We have to end this…"
'End this?' I thought. 'We can't end this!'
Further and faster I ran towards him. But every time I would try to reach out to him he would step even further away.
"GRAY!" I yelled. Tears started streaming down her face. "Don't go! Please! I-I thought you liked me!"
He stopped walking. "I do… I even love you…" hurt was shown in his face. "but, every time you're with me… You're always hurt."
"Gray! It's not you—"
The world I was in twisted and turned. I was sent spiralling down an endless hole.
"AAAAAHHH!" I yelled until my throat hurt. Where was I going? I felt like I was falling into a never ending hole. But my feelings were wrong. Soon, my back hit hard concrete. I opened my eyes and saw Gray.
He had casts around his side and he was walking along in the street.
'I have to end it with her…' a voice was drifting from Gray.
'I can hear his thoughts?' I asked myself. I walked towards him.
"Gray!" I yelled at his face. But he walked right past me. "Can you see me?"
I continued to scream at his face and block his way, but he couldn't see me. I walked under a lamppost, and the light shined on me.
"Cl-Claire?" a voice behind me asked.
I turned around and saw Gray with wide eyes. "You-you can see me?"
"A-are you dead?" he asked, Hurt and pain flashed on his face as he ran towards me. "Claire. You can't die! You just can't! It's all my fault Claire. I'm sorry! I knew that I should've broken up wi—"
"Gray! I don't think I'm dead! I think.. it's just the side effects of being in a coma?"
"You're a spirit Claire!" he tried touching my hair, but his hand just went through me.
"Gray, if I was a spirit I would see the light.. Or hell, or something!"
He sighed. "Well, before you go, I have to tell you something…"
Claire gulped. "I think I know what you're gonna say… You're gonnaa break up with me… Right?"
Gray slowly nodded. "I'm sorry…"
Suddenly, tears started bursting out from my eyes. "Why?"
Gray looked at me sadly. "Whenever you're with me, you're always hurt…"
"But… It would hurt me more when you're gone…"
"We can move on right?"
Claire shook her head. "No! I refuse to! Gray! You can't, I promise that I'll never get hurt anymore!"
Gray looked away. "Sorry Claire, but, this is the way to go…"
He walked away and left me alone, crying, in the Mineral town street.
'Why?' I thought. 'Why did things have to go this way?'
-Same night- (Gray's POV)
I left her. Crying. That thought still lingered in my mind. Breakups. Friends again? No, it'd be different if would still act like that. We're going to become how we used to be before we were friends… Strangers again.
I kicked a stone and continued walking. I don't want to be away from her. I want to… Protect her. I stopped in the middle of the road.
'That's what I'm here for. To protects her.'
I ran back to Claire. Hopefully, she'll still be there. I saw the lamppost… But there was no Claire. I looked around frantically for her.
'What if she doesn't wake up because of me?' I thought.
I ran to the hospital. I needed to see if she was alive or not, if her heart was beating. What if that was the last time I saw her?
What if I would never see her again?
-Continuation in chapter 39-
AN: Sorry I've been away for about… 2 weeks? Schools here again :/ and my sis was hospitalised so I kinda had to do the chores and take care of my brother =_= but you know it was good practice on becoming a mum, cause… I don't know how to do any chores :P I left the cooking up to my lil' bro. he can cook better than me, the last time I cooked the house was filled with smoke and I was grounded. The washing… Let's just say that there was water over flowing and I wasted a lot of water. And when I finally got it right, and hung all the clothes, it rains =_= so I had to wash the clothes all over again. Seriously?
Well, I planned a new story while doing the chores at home, you know the 'It all started with a text message' story? I'm gonna change it a little bit. It's gonna be a sad story so sorry for those who wanted a cute and happy one I wanted to try something new, so wish me luck :D Anyways, I hope you guys stay safe and healthy!
-Preview of what I should change the oncoming story to-
Preview of whole story (plot) I don't really know what you call it, blurb?
We started as strangers, meeting in a park.
As usual I was eating my gummy bears, reading a book. Red ones were my favourite. A blonde haired boy sat next to me, huffing and puffing, finally, he sighed. I looked at him intrigued. He was wearing basketball clothing. He wiped his sweat with his own arms.
"Damn it. Where's my towel?" he muttered. He got up and looked around for his lost towel.
I covered my face with the book I was holding and giggled a little. Hopefully, he didn't notice that I was laughing at his cute face. I put the book down and saw him looking at me.
"D-do you have my towel?" he asked me.
A smile spread across my face and I laughed. "No, but I'll help you find it."
We looked for his towel all over the park. And finally we found it.
-Skip parts skip skip-
We met again. At a café this time. He sat down and talked to me. I quietly listened. He made me laugh and I made him laugh. Now that I realise it, times with him are the most fun times I have.
-Skip some parts-
He asked me out. I said yes immediately. My heart, it's beating extremely fast. What is this feeling? It's the first time I ever felt it. I'm… In a relationship… with him. He's my boyfriend… And I'm his girlfriend. I smiled at myself in the mirror.
-Skip parts-
Texting and seeing each other became normal to us now. The texts I receive every morning are the sweetest. It makes my day.
-Skip (sorry)-
He stopped texting me one day. The calls at midnight stopped too. Why? This time I'm the one who starts the text chain. He says he's busy… Busy, even on Saturdays?
I GOT IT! I'll make it a oneshot, a really long one shot! :D Okay, so look forward to it and yeah! Thanks for the reviews, it really makes my day! Reading your opinions and comments makes me smile So thank you!
