Jackie's POV
The funny thing with being able to see is that people don't really consider those who can't see.
As I step into the hospital I notice Ray sitting in the waiting room a plastic cup of coffee in his hands, Kai's nurse lady Mrs Clot talking to a Mr Fisher and her son John is walking towards the bathrooms.
I take a seat next to Ray; he doesn't even flinch, not noticing I'm there.
He's shaking, he's trying to be brave, oh how naive he is, not understanding that the only way to be brave is to show your fears.
I take another look around and see Tyson down the corridor which led to the cafeteria.
I smile; at least Ray's got his friends behind him.
Flashback
I picked up the photo that was of my mothers.
Long black hair, pink face, weary eyes, a fake smile, and all the things I missed before.
I place it into my sock draw right underneath and take out three pairs.
After that I pack some clothes into an old duffel-bag, my tooth brush and tooth paste, I take out a black torn up book from under my bed and a leaking pen put that inside the bag too.
The book holds my soul inside.
I zip the bag up I creep across the hall past my fathers room, his snoring is like a mountain falling.
I walk into Devin's room, his walls are black, his computer is off, there's a stash of stolen car parts under his bed.
I take a photo do me and Devin from his drawers; I smile, what good times we had.
It's a picture of when we were about ten, when life wasn't like it is now, when we didn't have to run from our fears.
I rip out a piece of paper from my black book and write a note:
To Devin
I'm running now.
I can't stay here any longer with you and Pa.
I've realized if I want a life it had better be where I can feel like I have a home.
I'm sorry, you can't come with.
Take care
Your lil sis
Jackie…
PS. Don't come looking for me
I fold it and place it on his pillow, in two weeks he'll find this note and then he'll be on his own and I'll be where I wish to be.
I put the picture of me and Dev in the inside pocket of my jacket, take a look around.
Turn, walk down the stairs.
As I open the front door the first light hits me, I check my watch, 7:30 am, a brand new day for a brand new start.
I close the door, I walk down the porch, I don't look back I don't turn back.
My life isn't there any more, its right in front of, an open road of an adventure.
And I head to the airport to by a ticket to Hong Kong; I'll use the money Devin was saving to send me to college, sorry Dev.
End Flashback
And so I am now in the waiting room of the hospital, wanting to say my last goodbyes to me new found friends.
I hesitate before putting my free hand on his shoulder, he stops shaking.
"Jackie?" he blinks at me, like I had appeared out of nowhere.
I nod, "Ray, I've come to say thank and good bye", he looks at me and then noticing the plane ticket in my inside pocket.
"You're going…where?"
I smile and feel his hand touch my face, his gentle touch sends shivers down my spine, no ones every touched me as if an equal, no one.
"Home" I whisper but I find my lips locked with his.
He's demanding access to my mouth I let him in willingly.
He brings me closer to him, I move.
We stop for air.
"Ray-" but I'm stopped as he's smiling his index finger on my lips.
"Don't say a word, just go and be happy", I nod understanding and got up from my place, "And remember, you need me, I'm always here".
"Thank you" and I hold his hand for some time before letting go, turning around and walking towards the door.
Normal POV
Ray watches as Jackie Omen leaves the hospital, whispering under his breath as she closes the door, "Good luck Jackie".
With Kai
The doctors work on Kai, his breathing normal, his sugar level a bit low, his air supply ok.
Everything seemed to be ok.
Dr Smith smiled as she was almost complete with the operation.
Her brother-in-law; Dr Willow frowned though, he didn't intend on doing the op he just ended up here.
Dr Smith smile widened, perfect, everything was going perfect.
Next Day
It was a five hour op and it had gone successfully, all they needed to find out if it had done its job and worked.
Kai lay on his bed, bandaged wrapped around his eyes.
He seemed to be asleep.
The doors opened of the room, Mrs Clot stepped inside, and with Ray and Mr Fisher behind her while John had gone to work.
"Hey Kai, you awake", asked Mrs Clot softly, holding his hand.
"Yeah I am", he answered his voice gruff, asking for some water to drink he did, he now sat up straight.
Ray smiled as Kai seemed to be fine except for the headache he was the way he liked to be, himself.
With Jackie
Her mobile began to ring as she boarded the plane; she answered and almost yelled for joy.
It was Ray (AN: don't ask how he got her number) saying he had come out ok, she was happy for them all of them.
Wished them luck with the school and wished she luck, for her adventure had just begun.
Leaving by Rebecca Justice
She walks down a deserted street
Not knowing where she's going
She stops to think for a minute
On what she is doing
she left him while he was asleep
That's the only way she could go
She is hoping now he doesn't awake
Because he had never listened to the work "no"
Time after time
She had tried to get away
But he never would let her
He said if she left she would pay
she doesn't know what lies ahead
As if it really mattered
Anything is better than the past
Too much stuff had been shattered.
REVIEW!!
Note: Ray and Jackie is an odd couple but you'll see further in the sequel…anyone got a name??
