“Ah” I exclaimed, clenching my chest for a brief moment and halting in my steps. You could still hear the rhythmic droplets of water in the darkness.
“Are you okay?” Ruby faintly asked as i shut my eyes, realizing i was still very much in subconscious even though i eventually began to feel things, pain most especially. And guilt.
“I’m good” I waved off, walking to her side. We were on our way out to the door, that led to what seemed like the heavens. It was as symbolic as those stock pictures you’d see. The quiet waterfall and the bluest sky with the whitest of clouds. You could smell the peace and tranquillity here.
She pushed it open and seemed to float on a cloud before she looked back. I asked on seeing a smile creep to the side if her lips.
“Are you happy here?” I asked.
And she scoffed, echoing the same exact words- “

VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVEN - THE TALK.
JACQUELINEJacqueline’s eyes seldomly closed once they opened, not even to blink. Perhaps because they had been closed for so long. Weeks.She shared a chuckle with Harry as he took her hands. “Don’t make that joke ever” He said as she sighed deeply.“It just felt right to pull a joke that time. You don’t know how many times i’m going to be in coma” She added and he scoffed.“This will be the last” He stood his ground. “You don’t know that” She briskly laughed just before Wu and Aal stepped in. They had been outside, first with the doctor and then with themselves——discussing how they were to have the talk. The talk with that same Jacqueline. Perhaps that was why she joked too much. To avoid the eventual talk.She had only been awake for an hour at least, half of that time she spent in

MARIAMaria’s gaze was fixed out of the window, on nothing in particular. She just scanned through her brain for the doctor’s exact words."It's cancer" She even remembered the little things like how he licked the tip of his fingers before slowly opening the documents. She remembered the time at that exact moment.16:08, the time that changed her life. Maria was forty five and she couldn’t wrap her head around the fact, around why, this was coming now."But i was right" He said it immediately. "You said you just started feeling heavy, and gastric cancer could very much imitate the signs of early pregnancy and we caught it immediately. So early-”“that it's amazing. Your chances are amazing" He managed to remain optimistic while she was deeply horrified. Maria, in that moment had begun to question alot of things.As in this moment, she was numb.

VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE - LOCKED IN.
WU“—the United States is handling a huge number of corona virus cases as the global pandemic descends on the country with New York and Miami in particular experiencing huge numbers of cases—“My eyes were stuck on the news, it was the fifth time that night that i had seen the headlines about a lockdown. It was the same story, but different words. My deep breathes struggled to escape my lips as i listened to every single word.“At least twenty four states have directed all citizens to stay at home and seven have even announced the closure of schools for the remainder of the academic year. Several states have already ordered businesses and workplaces to close and enforce social distancing by limiting public gatherings with California, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Washington and Miami adopting the most comprehensive policies by mandatory state wide quarantine—” I paused the news, looking to Mabel that walked in from t
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TEN - I HAD A DREAM.
AALIYAHAaliyah was walking by the side of the road, she had her mask on and a jean jacket that hung firmly apart. She had a rufescent scarf and sandals that capriciously dug into sand as she walked.Yet somehow, she felt distant from herself, unable to process a single thought. Like a sudden wave, she felt her chest close on her, she felt her lungs collapse and her fingers turning blueish. She clung to her jacket, pulling it off as she fell into a trash can. She went down with dead gasps and a seizure that had caught her legs.From the trashcan, she stumbled to the ground. The roads were silent, everyone else was indoors and she had come out for only a moment. It was her birthday, she died on her birthday.Who would have thought? And then she garnered enough strength to look back up to reveal the most horrifying sight
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ELEVEN - THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF BROKEN.
JACQUELINEJacqueline’s eyes trailed him from behind. Harry. He had walked to the side of the room at a ring of his phone. She lazily just stared at the ceiling for the past hour, humming replies to him.She had gotten back from the hospital. The place, where she had seemingly been the most of the past months.Although Jacq had convinced him that he had to go to work, he just couldn’t. At one point, he had thrown himself to work to avoid her and now he was literally trying to be around for everything.And it was somewhat suffocating. Maybe it was because he blamed himself for the accident, had he been around whilst she was grieving, maybe——just maybe she wouldn’t have tried to kill herself. He blamed himself, she blamed herself. Two people with so much grief and loss, together in quarantine.
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWELVE - SHE CARRIED THE WORLD ON HER SHOULDERS.
MARIASIXTEEN YEARS AGO"Oh. My. God" I began screaming once i regained enough strength to continue pushing. Soon i was in a triggered headache and my legs began to numb from being raised in that position for so long.But as my mother said and i hoped-"Once you see the baby, it'll all be worth it and you'd forget all about the pain. It’ll be worth all the tears and the yelling and the nine month discomfort"And that was when i felt a head pop immediately through my enlarged vagina, accompanied with some residual blood as i continued to push.I didn't know whether i felt relieved but I knew I had to push harder while Alicia smoothly massaged my upper abdomen and yet, i continued to tirelessly push.I felt the blood drain out of my heated face as i felt all of him just fall out through and into my mother's hands with a

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. Jacqueline was in Harry's hands as they watched the tom and jerry movie. It was whilst giggling tha

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

AALIYAHEverything had changed. With my parents by my left and Dele sitting close to me on the hospital bed. 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
