It
was a dark night, the wind howled and an owl hooted as she set out to keep her
promise ‘A promise that we will always be best friends, never fall apart’
I
wasn’t sure she would come, our promises no longer made sense as she was with
her Bloodsucker Boyfriend again, “Will she really cross our treaty line, to see
me? The treaty was not for human beings, but as now she
was a Vampire’s girlfriend…”
I
tried not to think but there was nothing more I could do lying on a cot with
most of my bones broken. I could see her every time until she was with any of
the Bloodsuckers. My gift to see people I think off, was a Bane sometimes. I
had seen her coming out of the house but her image got blur as she moved toward
her truck, And it was dark now; totally blank as I was now All I could do is
imagine what was going on till I could see her again.
It
was very frustrating to not see her. Now with nearly all my bones broken I could
only lie on my cot and wait, wait to see the image of her in my mind. I wish I
could run at her side to see her “Will Jasper allow her to come see me?” “Don’t
think!” I told myself. I wanted to sleep. My eyelids were heavy, they were
about to drop but then appeared in my mind a blur image of Rose again. She was
waving someone across the treaty line ‘I could not see’ from her truck. As she
was speeding through the familiar lanes, away from that someone other than Jasper,
her image got clear. He did allow Rose to come.’ “Jasper understands
relationships better than you’’ Her words ringed in my ears Louder, like a
reminder. I could also now hear the rising roar of her truck. The loudest roar
the engine cut off.
It
was silent for a second. I pretended to be sleeping. She came in my room
without bothering to knock. She came closer and started speaking as if she knew
I wasn’t sleeping. Her voice was heavy when she spoke –“How could you even
think that I won’t come?” “You had been my best friend & still are, will
always be… I know that for you I was always more than a friend… but why don’t
you understand, for me it was always Jasper & not you Jake!!” she was
sobbing now, “I Love him Jake, I cannot live without him”
I
turned my head to look out of the window, like I did not care…
Then
she fell on her knees near the cot to hold my hand “neither I could live
without you” she said. Trying to control her sobs, she began again “You will
always be my best friend, the best buddy. Friends have a special space in heart”
“You will always own the best place in my heart…” “I Love you” she said after a
few more sobs. “Jasper is my life…” I tried to grip my hand tighter to hers as
it was sliding. She slightly kissed my forehead & I felt better than
anytime even with the pain of my broken bones.
“You
will always be my Best-man” were the last words she said as she left the room
open behind her…
