Chapter 9:
Caitie lay in a hospital bed. She was surrounded by beautiful flowers,
balloons and stuffed teddy bears. Her leg was bandaged up. The gash had let
most of the poison out, so the doctors didn't have much to worry about.
Jaime sat by her side watching her as she slept. He couldn't take his
eyes off her, and he didn't want to leave her. "She looks so peaceful,"
he thought to himself. "And so beautiful."
Val walked into the room distracting his attention away from Caitie. Her
eyes were red from crying.
"Hey. Umm, Jaime?" She took a seat next to him.
"Yeah?" He looked at Val intently. He seemed aware of everything around
him, and was ready to jump at the smallest movement or sound.
"She hesitated for a moment, and he gave her time. "There's something
I've been meaning to ask you." She shifted in her seat. She waited until
she had fully locked eye contact with him. "Howdid you know?"
He didn't need her to be more specific, or be asked twice. He new what
she meant. It was a question he'd been trying to answer since he'd met
Caitie. He turned back to the girl on the bet. He studied her for a minute.
She looked so innocent on the bed. So helpless. Almost lifeless.
He took in a deep breath. He could feel Val staring at him. "One time, when
I was 8, right after I'd first met Caitie. I was playing in the creek by
the park with some younger kids. I was leaning down to pick something out
of the water, and I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach. I
stould up without making a sound. It didn't hurt really. I just felt it.
I looked around but no one was there.
"Something told me to run back to the park. So I did. As fast as I could.
When I got there, Caitie was lying on the ground face first. I ran to her
and flipped her over. I realized she wasn't breathing. I looked around
and no one was there to help her. No parents. Just a bunch of kids that
were surrounding her in a circle.
"I brushed the sand off her face, not exactly sure what to do, when a
little kid came up to me and told me that Caitie had climbed to the top of
the jungle jim to help down a little kid who got scared, and couldn't
move. She coaxed him down, and she held his hand as he climbed down before
her. But when she started down, she lost her balance and fell face forward
to the ground and had thewind knocked out of her.
"I looked back at her, and said don't worry. This happened to me once.
Just keep trying to breath, and your air will come back. She looked up
at me and I looked down at her, and we just sat there the whole time until
she could breath again." Jaime stopped his story and stroked his hand
against her face.
"It happened a lot. Whenever she was hurt, or sad, or alone, I knew. I
always new, and so I ran to her. I just ran. I could feel her Val. I could
just feel her."
Jaime kept his gaze on Caitie, and a tear slipped from his eye that he hid
from Val. Val was starring at the ground. Some time passed, and she got up
and walked to the door, but paused when she reached the handle, than turned
back to face Jaime.
"You know Jaime, I read about this somewhere. When two people can share
feelings, or read each other's mind, or even have the same dream.
There's a term for it. It's called It's called soul mates."
Jaime looked towards Val, but his mind was some where else. They were lost
in a world, that no oneelse could touch. As he let all Val had been saying
to him sink in, Val exited the room. Jaime continued to stare out, frozen.
"Could it be true?" He thought. Slowly, he came back to reality and his
eyes shifted back and forth. He turned his attention back to Caitie who
still lye there without any movement. He took her hand, and watched over
her, all night. The End
(A/N~ Well, I really hope you guys liked this. Sorry if it wasn't as
realistic as I tried to make it. But the story should open up room for the
rest of the Monopalous series. Keep in mind the part about Caitie's
painting, and what Jaime told Val. All this stuff will be unraveled in
future episodes. And don't worry. This story and episode 1 mainly opened
the series for Caitie, and for J/C together, but there will be episodes
opening episodes for all the characters, and couples. Well, please feel
free to review, and let me know if your interested in a series?)
