For the past fifteen minutes, it was the hardest thing to take my eyes off him. He was peaceful, unconscious and easy to imagine how free his mind was to wonder. Mine too as tears welled up in both my eyes as i recounted some of our most treasured memories in those minutes and more—
—because i feared i’d lose him to this. And without saying our goodbyes. How we transitioned from being the bittersweet couple from an arranged marriage to best of friends will always be a mystery.
Maybe because we never did look back at it. At all the things we had been through, together.
TWO YEARS BACK
“Get off me” The flashbacks of the assault, barely two years ago came flooding back like it was yesterday. His grip became tighter with each thought that i had and the moment, more real—
—like i was reliving it. I shut my eyes open as i slid the lo

AALIYAHABOUT TWO YEARS BACK"Coming" I squealed as I gathered the flairs of the gown with one hand while I opened the door with another."We have a conversation after this" Wu said as she helped me down the stairs. "Also, I think I kinda blabbed to your mum the whole therapist thing" She warned. "I'm high" She said."You look magnificent" Dele complimented as he walked up to me with a very noticeable nigerian accent. "You too" I plainly said as my eye caught his fanciful tuxedos with a shoe that still managed to compliment his attire. "He's def hot. I'm so snapping him to send to the girls" Wu obviously whispered into my ears as he smiled."You know I'm like steps away" He revealed, awkwardly. "Is that a yes?" Wu asked as she reached for her phone before I looked at her."I think, you need

AALIYAHABOUT TWO YEARS BACKMy eyes were hardly opened as my consciousness battled with the sedation. I was put to rest while a series of tests were conducted by my doctor, most of which i was already familiar with.My breathing was assisted with the oxygen mask, and i was almost intubated due to my shallow breath and blocked airways. And soon i was changed into those blue gowns and a hospital scarf around my head as i stared up at the ceiling——after which my eyes navigated around the room to find Leroy and-Dele?Could he just stop showing up for me? I muttered in my mind. He was the ceo of his firm and that explained how he's always not at work. But still—

JACQUELINEI walked out of the exit and unto the stairway, i pulled up my mask, finally heaving a breath of fresh air as i my elbows rested on the staircase.I heard the sound of the door, knowing who must have followed me from behind. I got a side profile of her as she also, clung to the railings with a sigh.“You know, Dele’s awake” She heaved and i remained quiet, still as the winds that breezed from the open center top of the hospital into my face.“Yes, yes i know” I finally replied.“Jacqueline, i don’t what’s up but i don’t want to be the first to judge or anything. I know it’s about this covid and this scenario is a lot more familiar to you than anyone else. But Aal isn’t going to die”“Not yet” She rephrased. And i sighed. “It seems like i’m the only one that sees this” I answe

WUJust breathe.“Jade” I answered the call, even though we were just a distance from each other. “Jade” I said, again.And she heaved a deep breath before saying into the speaker, what had sent a cold chill up in my spine. I turned around to Jacq, who from my ghastly eyes had gotten the message and i was left with the echo.“It’s time” She said. “The Serpents said it’s time”JACQUELINESlipping my hands through the blue gown, i heaved a deep breath. It all was in slow motion as i wore on the hat, the mask and the shield. All precautions and protocols to see Dele and Aal.Deep down I might think I wasn’t even ready to see my best friend lifeless and connected to a vent with an oxygen mask on her face and dependent on all the machines to live.I walked closely behind the doctor as he led me

WU"Look who it is, i thought you'd never come back" Fox gritted through his teeth, not bothering to look back at us, heavily surrounded by his guards. I gazed to the grounds and the table surface that was messed with powder and drugs and the walls.You might have asked why we didn't call the police or choose the easier way out, but looking at this, the police wouldn't want to care who was involved or not. It was my building now, and i was apart of it, i dealt in it whether i liked it or not. I couldn't risk going to jail for that."You know a little birdy came to me" He finally made an effort to turn around with a knife in his hands. I jerked immediately, moving closer to Jade and he chuckled, staring right in her eyes."I just hope it isn't true" He sang softly as he moved closer to Jade, his fingertips rubbing softly against the tip of the sharp knife that it grazed into his skin. He bled, but he didn't care.

WUThe phone rang against the floor and i was far from it. I was even far from Jade but we were laying on the ground, opposite each other. I groaned as i stretched out my arms.Our voices were overshadowed by the sirens and the thunderous shots from a gun. Jade could barely move, she couldn't blink. She just stared as blood gushed from her lips."Jade" I muttered."Jade""Wu" She whimpered. "Wu, i'm here""I think the serpent's are here. And the police" I said to her as someone briskly jumped over us. It wasn't Fox, he had escaped but the guards as they succumbed to hide the rest of the drugs."Just hang on, Jade" I stared at the pool of blood she was in. "Just hang on" Came a shivering whisper from my lips as i pulled back my arms."Wu. I think they got you" She said."You're bleeding too. This is your blood" I blinked, as a soft g

MARIA“She’s sick, Mar”She shortened my name in a whisper as i held myself against the kitchen counter. I felt strength depart from my hands, i closed my eyes.“She’s really sick” Went on echoing in my head as that was one of my biggest fears, the first of which was not having to see her before she dies.But everything began to seem alot realer. Not just the type of health scares she had or something that had to do with her meds. It was covid, and it was a whole lot serious that we doubted she’ll make it.“You might need to come back home, sooner” That was what prompted that statement and we both understood. I immediately felt the presence of my mother trailing behind me before i opened them.“What about Wu? How’s she doing with everything?” I asked, not bothering to look b

MARIAI folded the shirts neatly in my hands before slipping into the luggage that was halfway packed. Just this one, i had the other three by the door.A gazzilion thoughts ravaged through my mind. Thoughts from the time in which i first left Miami to get back to Mexico. The thoughts reminded of how i walked down the airports and into the arms of my mother and my two boys, then i didn’t even have any intention of returning back. But i hadn’t known—It was on pressing into the bag, that i noticed something sticking out. Something hard and it was my passport and my green card. I picked it up, knowing i hadn’t even seen it after that time. After when i was released from being locked up by ICE.The thoughts went far beyond shallow and through all of the shit i had been, i and the girls. And Aal and for a moment, i was scared that this was going to be it. The sequence—

Jacqueline had her legs up in the air as Harry squeezed her palms tightly. She couldn't believe she was here, doing this again."Push" The nurse yelled into her ears as she felt hands running down her thighs. "You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter.

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family. That had always been here for the big and small moment

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i carried on."To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
