Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56JACQUELINE
What is it they say about second chances? And how easily we give them. Even to the ones that really don’t deserve it. But then, for the right people—
—a second chance is divine. It’s an opportunity for newer possibilities and beginnings. And a chance to right one’s wrongs. To make amends and to better yourself. To build yourself or the thing that broke.
A second chance is forgiveness, even if its for oneself. It’s acceptance and sometimes, the only way forward.

“Jacqueline Baie” He called my name lowly from the laptop. It took a while before i realized it was the volume. I adjusted it as i sat comfortably into my couch, placing the laptop across the table.
For me, this was a second chance. It was therapy, for the second time that month. Adam was gentle, you could easily tel

MARIAThe beeps from the chemo therapy machine rang dimly in my ears as i slowly opened my eyes. I realized i had fallen asleep on the barely comfortable chair——just beside Alejandro. I yawned, the slightest sound alarming him. His eyes shut open as he raised his hands above his head to stretch. “Ahh”“I can’t feel my legs” He complained on how he stayed on the small chair before the doctor walked in. The same one, i had learned her name was Juliet and i was already starting to call her Jules.She always had this smile on when she came to disconnect the machines or check up on the dose that i first would have thought she was just been friendly, but perhaps she was flirting with Alex.I took in a deep breath, knowing i would only remain on the chair for minute as the fatigue dawned on me. As soon as she’d left, i looked to him for a brief second with an eyeroll.“What is

It wasn't a huge truck, like a pickup truck, smallish with a white container and tires. And the driver traditionally wearing a black cap and shades.I zoned back in at the tap of Blackeye, he stared at one of his boys, Terry as he dumped in the last stash into the back of the container. It was a one loaded with millions worth of drugs."Where your mind at?" His voice croaked before his hands slowly hit against mine.My heart thumped, for every second, my heart thumped because it was scary. I shut my eyes at the clang of the metal door against its hinge as he closed the container. To say i was on edge would be a mere understatement, i was stressed and i hadn't had a break in a while, working between being a drugde

WU"But—"Her voice stung my ears as i heart jackhammered in my chest. "But i see a cloud. I see death soon""What?" I asked."I see death. And it's coming hard and dark. And quick like a thief at night. Someone close to you is sick and will die" I shut my eyes, my mind instantly going to Maria, who still struggled with cancer.But then i shut them wide open again——drifting herself from the echoing thoughts in my head as i slid to answer Maria. “Heyy” I pitched my voice to sound enthusiastic as hell once she picked as if i hadn’t just heard i was going to loose her.“What’s good?” I asked, sniffing my nose as i also navigated the parking lot for Jade. I stood by my car with one palm over my eyes to shield the sun. I look

WEYES ALESSIA CARPENTERIt was a normal day. At least it was supposed to be for me, if my mother hadn’t only just revealed that my father was coming by today.It had been months since i had seen him and it once i sat down, i acknowledged my mixed emotions. Increasing the volume of the television even through i wasn’t even watching it, i pulled my phone to my face. The house was empty, and echoing the words of the reporter on the screen.I folded my legs on the chair before taking my eyes off tiktok and to the tv, it had instantly gone to CNN because mother was the last to watch it. And it was a blonde reporter, along the breezy roads of NYC——You could see it at the top of the screen and could even tell by the tall extravagant buildings and sidewalks. She heaved a sigh before she spoke.“Just in—The first milestone vaccine for the corona virus has proven to prevent more than ninety percent of people

AALIYAHAyeesha walked through the door in a silky white dress, a little flair at the ends. She didn't care to explain perhaps what the occasion was, instead——she just asked, as soon as Diane had left. "How was it?" She mouthed as i ran my cup under the coffee machine. I wasn't drained, i was as excited as she was. I just had my first session with this amazing young girl, too amazing to even be weighed down by the chaotic events of her life.Weyes Alessia Carpenter.Alot of things transpired over the course of one call and even a personal conversation. And even though at first, i'd thought it failed with only one person, i grew happy that it was only that person. Weyes."It was amazing. You know helping someone" I beamed a smile to Ayeesha who just stood in astonishment. "The sense of— Of achievement and this contentment" I gestured in a way that onl

I still held Dele on the line and Wu, who was with Mabel.And even as i stepped into the room and halted, we both still had our phones to our ears. Dele and I as i stared at Aal, gorging on a whole tray of food.“What?” I turned to him and he shrugged his hands.*“And you’re just okay?” I asked, placing my hands on my chest, and heaving sighs of relief. She nodded, giving me. a reason to roll my eyes at her.“You got me so worried” I said.And she scoffed. “It isn’t the first time i’m collapsing, is it? It’s probably meds or just the overwhelming effect—” She said.“The doctor will be by you in a minute” Dele said, flatly before he left and i could tell something wasn’t right with them. “Okay” She respon

I adjusted her ear phones which were connected to listen to a podcast, as i scaled the parking lot for Ayodele.Aaliyah had sent me looking for him after leaving for something in his car for about an hour and a half.“In other news, Americans fear that a new deathly strain or variant of the covid-19 could very much pose a threat to the effectiveness of the vaccines.

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

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
