The Mystical Gem of Fridays

Chapter 3: How Lexi sees Jack

Two hours later.......

I got a text from Lexi, she's telling me "I'm not upset about what happened at the store I just want to know what you mean about Logan and how he's innocent, Jessica literally said that he's cheating on her" I told her everything that Logan told me I couldn't see her face but I knew that she was shocked since Lexi gets shocked very easily. today I will go to the West part of the city to get information from logan's sister I'm going to use the brookie way, the metro...... and I'm telling you the metro is no joke, it's very bad. A metro ride from where I am is a very long one, but I went anyways I was sitting bored in the metro and all I was thinking about was confirming my theory. When I arrived at the hospital I went to the reception and tried to act up. The receptionist asked me if I was a relative or a close friend, but the problem is... I was neither of these but I didn't have time to waste, I told him that it was something important but he replied "Sir, if you are not a relative or a close friend of the patient you are not permitted access to her room, so I'm requesting you to leave" I felt disappointed but what I did is so much for a case that doesn't even relate to me, I took the case files from the receptionist's desk and busted out of the way while the receptionist called security I opened the case file searching for logan's sister's case but I had no clue about her name or their last name until I found the picture of a young lady that shared a close resemblance to Logan so that's where I needed to go while hoping the security doesn't catch me and thinking about what if she still cannot talk. about 10 minutes later and three floors, I found the room that I needed to go in and I entered the room which belonged to Maya Roberts I v suppose Logan's sister I found her reading a magazine, when she saw me, she freaked out and when she tried to press the emergency button, I held her arm telling her that it's something about her brother she told me in terror "what do you know about my brother?" "well I know that your brother got betrayed by someone close...... more importantly cheated on by someone to be precise" I replied when she was about to speak two security guards struck down the door both of them armed with guns, I don't think guns are allowed in a hospital but they all still had guns they shouted to me to get out but I needed my information, still risking my life for some information that doesn't relate to me sounds like a terrible idea I tried to get out but the two guards were very messed up they started shooting and I tried to dodge the bullets, I........ I feel something when I look at my arm and the bullet has pierced through. I put my hand on my arm, I could feel the bleeding, I got shot. Everyone at the reception looked * coughs * they looked shocked. Well, this is the first time I knew that hospital security can shoot down people. I suddenly felt dizzy, drunk guy dizzy as I saw the world one last time before............

12 hours later.......

(Lexi's eyes)

"I am sorry Miss Hunter looks like your friend here is in a deep coma" replied the doctor to my question about Jack's well-being. I was afraid that I would be a reason for his harm I looked at Jack and blushed in guilt I just don't know I've always felt shy about Jack, the feeling of not being good enough the insecurities I'm facing from previous mistakes with other guys I member that one time in middle school I had a crush on that one guy named Mark and then he asked me out for prom three years later, it was one of the best feelings I felt in my life but when I arrived, he was dancing with another girl..... and, that one guy named Lucifer who I had a crush on too was also a mistake and Jack is the only one that I am truly worried about I've tried to be hard to earn girl, but it came out wrong. and the fact that he is now in a coma all because of a mission I sent him to, is ruining me from the inside I wanted him to value me but now seeing him in a coma because of me he's devastated it turned out that me trying to be hard to earn girl of every man's dreams, tends to be me being a total loser! I sat on the chair beside Jack after the doctor left and whispered into his ear although I know he won't respond "Hey Jack, guess what day it is today! It's Friday our favorite day in weeks but now without you...... Friday lost its meaning to me the crazy townspeople stuff we used to go through on Fridays has changed me. I want you back I have made the mistake, of underestimating how good of a boyfriend you are also we didn't start our relationship, but you've proven to me that you're different and that I didn't need you to do anything you just special with everything we've been through, from the robbery to now I didn't deserve you but still I need you back" I went back home but still ashamed of what I did, I found Alex standing by the door I said hi but he didn't respond he instead gripped hardly on my shoulder with his big hand and came close to my ear and whispered "oh sister so even when you're stupid little boyfriend went in a coma you still go visit him, isn't it? what would happen if I told our father I know he would probably ground you........ or better send me all the way to watch you wherever you go" As I was feeling pain from his grip I screamed and when our father came, he fountains a horrifying scene but instead of doing anything to Alex, he praised him for such behavior?!?!? "What you are with him in that?!" I screamed in terror, "young lady all you were doing lately is visit that stupid boyfriend of yours!" my father said in rage "THAT'S BECAUSE I LOVE HIM! I screamed in my rage. As Alex stood in shock and pretended that I was speaking gibberish. But I didn't care about their thoughts, all that mattered to me now was that I was the reason Jack went into a coma....... the reason for producing a flipped table within us. Later that night I was trying to sleep so badly but I couldn't because the events of the last month were flashing within my eyes, Especially the time when a brave young man came to rescue a soft-hearted young woman during a supermarket robbery........ a time where she couldn't let go, just to find out later even after all his efforts she still let go. My eyes started to water and I started to cry silently. But it got so intense it turned into whining of despair, suddenly though someone knocks on my door, and my heart says "Jack" but my brain says "It's probably Alex trying to mess with you again" and in reality, it was Alex but not with bad intentions this time, as he hopped into my bed and said with a look full of empathy "I know what's wrong sis, your worried about him" but I covered myself with my knees and told him in a shrieking desperate for love voice "you know nothing about our situation" then I felt a big hand taking me by the waist, it was him taking me to his side, the smell of his cologne made me more comfortable around him though. He then leaned his head and whispered into my ear "I know more than you will ever expect, plus, I'm your older brother who alone explains a lot" which made me giggle...... something I didn't do for weeks by now. He then added "Let's play "Snakes and Ladders," it never disappoints in cheering you up!" "OK!" I replied with a more excited voice since "Snakes and ladders" was a staple in our childhood. After that game, I went to sleep
