Will Tomorrow Ever Come 3: They Say You Can Never Come Home Again
Ch. 1: Anywhere But Here
They say you can never come home again, It was true, at least for Caitie. She couldn't stand all the memories that still lived there, the memories of Jamie. Now nearly 7 years since his death, she was given this tape, the memory of him-Jamie, trusted back into her face. She didn't wasn't to deal with this.
She watched the tape anyway, and then almost cried.
It was Jamie.
She was seeing her best friend again after all these years. It started out as young Jamie, playing with his brother, laughing at his 8th birthday party, and then it was the Jamie that Caitie had always known. It was his laugh, his smile, his spiky black hair, his adorable "make it stop" shirt, everything that had made him Jamie.
Everything that had mad her love him.
Suddenly that day came back to her, as if it was happening at that very moment/
~*~
"A blood clot has traveled to his brain. He is brain dead, I am truly sorry" the doctor had said.
"But, you said he's be ok, you said he'd be fine." Caitie stammered.
"I'm sorry . We did not see this coming." and then an hour later, the Waites decided to let Jamie go. Caitie went into his room - to say goodbye.
He looked pale, and frail, a long taped tube came from his mouth and into a pumping machine, the only thing keeping him here-keeping him with her.
She had wanted to say something meaningful and sappy, something about the time they shared and how much he had meant to her, but she couldn't. This wasn't Jamie, this was her "backup best friend". It was just a frail, young shell looking a bit like he boy who had used it.
The room became silent, not a word or sound could be heard, as Jamie's friends and family gathered around him. The doctor turned of the machine and a loud wine was heard.
Jamie had left them.
As the others drifted out of the room, Caitie stayed until she was the only other person again in the room besides the nurse. She watched painfully as the tape was pulled from his lips and the tube was taken from his trough, she stood still as the nurse began to pull the sheet over his body.
"Would you like to touch him?"
Wat an odd question, Caitie had thought, but she had needed to do it, just one more time. Caitie leaned over him and kissed him, their first and only kiss, and walked away from the past.
*~*
Caitie signed she didn't need this not today, the eve of her wedding day. She didn't need to be remembering the boy she had thought she'd marry, but wasn't…
