"She's comatose"
Jacqueline's eyes glowed with pity as my jaw dropped. Then she tilted the phone to where she laid across the room.
"She's been here. Connected to life support and all these machines and we have no idea when she's going to wake up—" She paused as if something was to follow.
"How are yo-"
"If she wakes up" She continued. "What?"
"How are you? And Harry?" I pushed a lump down my throat as i walked up to the balcony. "Harry is—He's at work, he doesn't know yet" She said softly.
"And me, terribly sick. I can't do this, Maria" She said as my brows fell towards my eyes. "I can't be you. I can't be the strong one trying to hold everyone together because right now, i just feel like going. Running but i can't" She said before looking up.
"And i feel so terrible for saying that but it's— it's so overwhelming"
"I know" I

WUAs a young girl and a young woman when she was, Wu had always loved dancing. She’d say she wanted to be a ballerina. Or a dancer or a vixen.She just made sure her career didn’t stray far from dancing because she loved it. It gave her much life that she couldn’t get from anywhere else.Perhaps not even the drugs.It made her feel things, dragging her feet against the ground and jumping in the air. She had loved the cheers and the applauses. And the confetti.She loved dancing. Ballet, she’d said.Little did she know that——strip dancing was the closest she could get to.TWENTY ONE YEARS AGOShe thrusted herself into the air and landed in his arms. Their eyes locked into each others along the breezy open field. And then she brought he

WUMy shoe grazed the sharpness the ground as i pulled up my shades to look at her. "Jade" I called and for some reason, we ended up in a brisk chuckle.Jade, Jade was the name that represented bad things in a good way, you know the bad, rebellious girl with blue or red in her black hair and gothic shoes.Overdrawn eyeliner with little makeup and high boots. Jade was the girl with tattoo and her arm and her hoodie tied to her waist while she rocked a sleeveless. That was the stereotype if you didn't realize——but never had it more true. Never had i met such a Jade. We'd been talking for half an hour or more by the bar and watching the performances till it got a little but loud. This Jade had all those qualities, except maybe the eyeliner part because she didn't even have on any makeup at all.She seemed young, youthful and twenty something, she had the sweater thingy

AALIYAHSIX MONTHS AGO"I can't believe it""I can't believe she's just, gone" He said, the last calmly as he slipped his hands into his pockets."No one can. At least not now" Wu gave a reply as she turned around with the little girl, Laila in her hands and then back at Leroy."Not now" Came a soft, truthful whisper.“She did change the world. She helped it” He said.*"Are you okay?" Dele asked me, holding me to sit up on the bed. In his hand, he had a donut which he waved in front me like some sort of reward--reward for waking my ass up. My eyes still dazed as i snatched it from him. "You shouldnt have brought me in. With this covid and all that. It's nothing serious" I said in a convincing tone."How long

AALIYAH"Do you know that Jacq lost her baby to this— this thing?" I asked him, my two hands clasped around the hot cup in tissue. I could feel his widened gaze on me as he halted. "No shit" He replied."Fuck no" He shook his head, catching up with me before i sat on a bench on the open ground. "What do you even do here?" I asked and he shrugged."Anything, anything we can. Testing, lab work, assisting in surgeries, cleaning and covid ward shit""They have a covid ward now?" I asked and he scoffed. "A lot of thing's changed" He continued.His face mask hung around his while his gloved hands clasped around the coffee cup. Occasionally, he would look back to the door and then his watch."So wh-"We both chorused and he stopped. "You go" He said and i looked away. "No you" Came a sly smile."I

Maria laid upside down, her eyes fixed at the ceiling before they shut close at the touch of that surface came in contact with her cold skin.She shut them, realizing for the first time in that moment that she might really be having a third child. Really, cos this time, beside the ultrasound——everything felt real.*FEW HOURS BEFOREMARIA“Mateo” My lips folded an angry pout as i looked to the clock for the nth time. I would have loved to think i was anxious for the kid’s first day at school in Mexico——but deep down, i was anxious for my hospital visit. And i had thought of telling the kids but i just felt they should just, enjoy their first day.Without the events or the thoughts that they might have a sibling. Rafael would be terrified, knowing he won’t be the last anymore and Mateo——might just be terrified of it being another boy. He and

Jade represented alot of things,she represented painting the town red, past midnight with the only person she knew in Miami.Wu.*WUjade: so what are you doing?My eyes lit up at that text just as my phone in the dark. I was tucked in my bed as i reached for it. It was ten minutes to twelve and i wondered what else i couldn’t possibly be doing at that time.me: i don’t know, getting ready to sleep.jade: 🙄Came a lame emoji as i scoffed, sitting up but the fist of covers still held in my hands. And i watched them type for a while before i typed.me: u?jade: really? Meet me outside.Wu was perplexed but not surprised because she knew she wasn’t that far of from her house. But still she rose from her bed, abandoning the used tissues which she had cried in. She needed to get out.

AALIYAHAal wore on her black face mask that matched a leather jacket of the same color. She had her hair tucked underneath a lavender hijab and her smoky could hardy go unnoticed.She walked out from the exit and watched the crowd from behind, scrambling for space even underneath the covid tent. Whilst dialing Wu’s number, a thought flashed through her mind.She saw these people and wondered if this was all a dream. Or a nightmare and when it might. If it ever does end— She shook her head, perhaps with the gratitude that she was leaving here alive, not everyone did these days and she related personally.Before leaving, she stopped by the ICU to see Jacq who unfortunately hadn’t moved an inch. Even if it was just a muscle spasm, none. Nothing.And Aal just watched, resisting the urge to let a tear fall and she felt it. She felt death and saw herself i

JACQUELINE“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- “

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
