Keifer's pov :
The ride to the hospital felt like a nightmare
My vision kept blurring during the way ,I kept glancing at Jay every second trying to make her redeem consciousness
The speed of the car kept getting higher and higher
100
140
180
I could feel the other's cars behind me following
I reached the hospital and quickly got out and carried Jay Jay
I didn't care about how I parked or if it's still unlocked
At that moment all I cared about is that Jay would be alright
The automatic doors of the ER hissed open as I burst through, my clothes stained with the red evidence of my mistake.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP HER!" I roared. My voice didn't even sound like mine anymore; it was the sound of a man who had just lost his soul.
Nurses and doctors rushed toward us with a gurney. As I lowered Jay Jay onto the white sheets, her hand slipped from mine. It felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest through my fingertips. I tried to follow them, to keep holding on, but a firm hand caught my shoulder.
"Sir, you can't go back there! Please, wait in the lobby!"
I turned, ready to strike whoever was stopping me, but my breath hitched. It was Aries and the rest of Section E. They had arrived, panting and pale.
"You..." Ci-N's voice was a broken whisper. He walked toward me, his eyes red from crying. "You did this, Keifer. You broke her heart, and then she ran... she wouldn't have been on that road if it wasn't for you!"
I stood there, paralyzed. For the first time, I couldn't keep the "cold ice" mask on. My hands were shaking so hard I had to shove them into my pockets.
"I know," I muttered, looking at the floor. The blood on my shirt was starting to dry. "I know."
"Then why?" David stepped forward, his face twisted in anger. "You said it was the plan. What kind of sick plan ends with Jay in the ICU?"
I didn't answer. I couldn't. Not yet. I just turned my gaze to the swinging doors where they had taken her.
My relatives—those people who shared my blood but possessed no humanity—had forced my hand. They wanted her gone, but I had tried to play the villain to keep her safe.
I failed
I sank into one of the plastic chairs, burying my face in my hands. The sterile smell of the hospital was suffocating.
If she wakes up, I thought, the darkness in my mind swirling like a storm, I might tell her everything. I'll ruin them. I'll destroy every single person who made those tears fall from her eyes.
I love you my jasper jean Mariano
