Part 3
'Why did he come back? Why did I bump into him? God... I need my
pills' Krystle said to herself. Her eyes had become dark red from all
the crying. She looked over at the door and saw A.J looking back at
her. She turned her face in the other direction. He was the last
person she needed to see now. She looked over at the door again. This
time there was another girl next to him. She couldn't make out the
face. Her eyes filled with hatred as she saw A.J lower his head to
kiss her. She remembered who it was. The girl last night who was
holding A.J's hand.
'Why the hell is she here?' she said in a whisper. Tears welled up in
her eyes again.
'Who needs him anyways. He never loved me' Krystle said as she looked
on.
~ Outside the room ~
"What are you doing here? I told you to stay home" A.J said to the
girl, "You can't be here right now Lisa... If she sees you!" A.J went
on.
"Listen... ever since last night...it's been Krystle this and Krystle
that... What about me... you didn't even come home last night." Lisa
said with a furious tone. Jennie watched on from afar as she sipped her
warm coffee.
"I care about her okay...Is that so wrong?" A.J snapped back,
"Ya...well just how much do you care about her A.J? All you do is talk
about when she did this and when she did that and how cute she was when
BLAH BLAH BLAH!" her face was turning red,
"What about me A.J? What about us? I love you A.J. Don't you love
me?" There was silence between both of them. He didn't know what he
felt.
"I...I ...I'm" A.J started. Lisa cut in,
"You know what A.J, when you find out who you love... Give me a call."
She turned around and walked out of the hospital. Jennie watched her
walk out. Lisa turned and gave an evil glare at Jennie. Jennie gave
back a cheeky smile and then walked over to A.J.
"Are you alright J?" she asked as she threw her cup in the garbage.
"What the hell is going on with me?" A.J said out loud but really asking
himself, "She's a great girl, and I let her walk out of my life. I
can't understand why I'm still standing here!" he said as he looked at
Jennie for an answer.
"I think you're still standing here, cause you love someone else.
Someone who's lying there in that bed wanting you to love her as much as
she loves you A.J." she tilted her head towards the door. A.J turned
again and looked into the window.
"She hates me... She doesn't love me... I left her Jen... I left
her... And I don't know why I did... I really don't know why I did."
A.J said as he sighed.
"She hates me...She hates me" he said again.
"You're wrong A.J. She loves you, but you hurt her too much for her to
admit it...You gotta prove her wrong J.... You gotta show her." She said
putting her chin on his shoulder as they both looked at Krystle through
the window.
"Look," A.J started, "She's asleep... when she get up, I'm going in...
No matter what..." A.J looked at her.
What he didn't know was that she was not asleep, she lay there crying as
she thought about how much she missed her parents and how bad A.J hurt
her.
'Why didn't he leave me there...' Krystle said to herself 'Why didn't I
just die...I hate myself... All I want to do is die...No more pain...
No more tears...no more lies... No one would have to watch over me like
I'm some fragile doll... No more charity cases....' She cried
harder... 'All I want to do is die.... NOW' she said. Her life was to
badly bruised for he to pick up and go on...
