Chapter 50: Jabian
"I'm sorry, Fabian." Joy Mercer wheezed as her whisper gurgled out of her slit throat. "It was him..."
Fabian looked sadly at his girlfriend as her eyes rolled back and she stopped bleeding. She was gone. He gently closed her eyes and cried. When the paramedics arrived, he said "It's too late, she's gone."
*Fabian*
I saw Joy's final moments over and over. My soul mate, my other half. I reached out for her on the sofa to realise that it wasn't Joy. It was a cushion. "Supper's ready!" Trudy's usual trill. She'd never show us how she feels, not when she's upset, but I see it when she looks at me. I see it in Patricia. I see it in Mick, who had a huge crush on her.
I looked at my plate. Sausage, mash and baked beans. Joy's favourite. I glanced at our housemother. "Trudy, uh, I'm actually not that hungry."
She looked at me. "Oh! Oh, my. Sweetie, I'm so sorry. You need to eat, though, lovie. Would you like me to make you something else?"
"It's alright, thanks, Trudes." I sighed and walked out. I sat on my bed and looked at my pillow. I saw Joy's beautiful face, her silky locks, the shape she made under my duvet. "Oh, Joy, I wish you were still here. I miss you. I can't be happy without you."
The next day, I woke up and slowly walked to the dining room. I heard giggles and an American accent. "So, you're telling me that you didn't grab your bodywash and have a shower in it?" The American girl asked.
"No, don't be daft! Victor could have walked in!" I heard Trudy's laughter.
When I walked in, Trudy sat with a girl who had brownish blonde hair. "Fabian!" Nina Martin smiled. "Hi! How're you?"
"Eh. You?" I was depressed.
"Are you going to sit down?" Nina asked.
"No, that's fine." Fabian said. "I'm just going to head out to school."
"You're not! You haven't eaten yet." Trudy told me.
"I can go till lunch."
"Where I can't make sure? Uh-uh. You're having something before you go."
She made me a stack of pancakes and sat me down. I sighed. "Thanks, but I'm really not hungry."
"Uh, have I missed something?"
Trudy scribbled a note. "Joy got murdered and he's depressed."
"Ah. Aw. Look, Fabian, if it makes you feel any better, I could take you to Hawaii this weekend with Gran and me. It'd do you good."
"No, thanks, Nina. I'm not really ready to go out with anyone else."
"Fabian?" A voice asked. The white world shifted and a dark haired shape formed.
"Joy?" I asked.
She walked up to me, as beautiful as ever. "Hi, Fabes. I've seen that you're not getting on too well."
I shrugged. "I can't think straight without you, Joy."
Joy put her hand on my shoulder. "Fabian, I know how you feel, but you can't starve yourself and disconnect from everyone else."
I sighed. "I don't want to live without you. I love you, Joy."
She kissed my cheek. "I love you, too, Fabes, but you have to carry on."
"I can't. I see couples everywhere. Victor's dating Vera, Mick and KT are dating, Patricia's dating Eddie, Mara's dating Jerome, Alfie and Willow are dating. God, even Trudy's dating. Joy, I can't stand this. I just want to be with you."
"I want to be with you, too. But you have to go on living, Fabian. Live for me. Let me live on, keep yourself going."
"I can't. I don't know how."
"If you're still the Fabian Rutter I know and love, you'll manage." She kissed my lips.
"Joy?"
"Yeah?" She asked, smiling at me.
"Does it hurt? Dying?"
"The way I did hurt a bit, but not really, no. Sorry, Fabian, I have to go. You remember to carry on living, OK?"
"OK." I smiled. "Thanks, Joy."
"Anytime, Fabian. I'm only a veil away."
I woke up to my dark bedroom and smiled. "Only a veil away."
I hope this was an alright chapter. Hope you liked it! Review and let me know what you think! Until next time, BlackCat46, out!
