What do they say about first love?
People tend to talk too much about how it's inherently unique, the first dose to addiction and a life long bond you never forget. Love might always be special even if its for the ninety ninth time—

VAMP CHAPTER NINETY TWO - THE CHAOS AND THE CALM.
WUThe chaos before the calm. The sound of Louis Armstrong's what a wonderful world woovened its tune to the thump of the doctor's footsteps.Jacqueline was pushed aside as she held unto me and then to the door as she watched from only a mere distance how they tried so hard to resuscitate her child. Wesley Harry Junior, Franklin, who had only been in this earth a week to suffer such wrath.The tears in Jacqueline eyes had seized with fear, immediately. It numbed her feelings and even for me, everything moved in slow motion. The clock began to tick even louder and the beeping of a machine became noisy. Very much noisy. I began to notice the thrust of the hospital smell move through my nose as i remained impaired of what to do next.Comfort? Comfort someone who threw herself so heavily at each corner of the wall, yelling the only words she could. "You have to save my son"
VAMP CHAPTER NINETY THREE - COME HOME WITH ME
WUFor most of her life, Wu had had this constant battle with religion, not in believing in a higher power——because she did believe. Her parents were obscurely religious given their drug business. But in finally finding the line between the good and bad.The good that ultimately means that you’re going to heaven, having believing in Jesus but the bad, that just might mean hell. But just how bad is bad?So when i say Wu had this battle, it had always been buried in her heart since she kissed that girl in first grade because she had to come to terms that being herself came at a price. And that meant hell.*TWENTY TWO YEARS AGO“You understand he’s saying don’t you?” My mother wrapped her arms around my shoulders as my eyes squinted at the priest’s lips.I had sat up from the wooden chairs and so did most on that aisle, but i, too interested that her
VAMP CHAPTER NINETY FOUR - FLOWERS GROW OUT OF MY GRAVE
AALIYAHI was floating above my bed,Like a body in a river, in car.The words of dead man's bones came softly into my ear as a melodic monologue, or somewhat as an interlude as i laid across the bed. Across in all of its meaning, with my feet spread to each ends and my arms and the ear plugs in my ear.For a moment, everywhere went silent—And the only sound in my headwas a dying cricket in a jar.And yet i still thought i had heard something even though Dele stayed back to get some work done and my parents would never be awake by this time.So i opened my eyes, mid interlude and the disrupting my peace was my phone screen that yearned to be touched. The dim light that indicated a text message. My arms held unto it, bringing it to my face as i suddenly felt the need to pull out the ear plugs——perhaps to

VAMP CHAPTER NINETY FIVE - I CANT BREATHE
AALIYAHAaliyahs feet moved hastily against the ground, creating nonetheless a friction that almost fell her down but she continued——with a desperate prayer between her lips to catch up with Jacqueline.She managed to halt in front of the elevator that took forever in that second to open and then she drifted to the stairs, an only option to the top floor Jacqueline was in.“Shit Shit” She cursed multiple times, even more than Wu who she left while locking the car. By the stairs, she had signed some people wearing masks and others, those shield that she recognized in space and a nylon coat around them. Gloves.She had seen the news and they had seen to. While in med school, she was taught crisis management in her final year. To prepare for the worst. Like if a pandemic hit or there’s a major earthquake or tsunami that brought so many lives to the hospital.

JACQUELINEDISCLAIMER: SUICIDEThe world was upside down. It wasn’t even up to a week. We had tens of thousands of covid cases around the world and United States trailing behind.And while the entire world was crashing in an uprising pandemic, we were here. I was here. I was,—with my baby in my arms wrapped in a showl as i stared through the windows. Wu was there, in a very black wrap gown that couldn’t scream the word, funeral any louder and a hat, gloves that held the phone through which Maria could see through.And black sandals that stood just above the grave.Wu had looked back and our eyes met. I mean hers with my moist ones that held the tears that smeared through the lavender towel i had my baby wrapped in and the only question i had in my mind was—Was i really ready to let go?*Jacqu

JACQUELINEJacqueline's shriek whisper echoed in the darkness, her feet, dipping into somewhere moist she couldn't see but she could hear the sound of the water.She moved to her side so she wouldn't loose sight of the opposite directions. She didn't know how she got there or why she was. She just knew she couldn't feel.Something was odd.Asides the fact she could barely see something, barely make out a shape of her environment. She felt alive but dead. And shriekly, she whispered again;"Hello" He called out, followed by three intense echoes before she stopped in her feet. So suddenly because she swore she heard something. A sound step that wasn't from her.She hushed herself up, literally as she turned to the direction. "Hello" She called out.Jacqueline was right when she said she felt alive but dead because this

MARIA"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

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
