This is my Path. (Sequel to Wait What)

Chapter 10

"I HATE YOU!" He screams in my face and slams the door on his way out. I broke down into tears. What have I done. I've never seen him in pain. Of course he hurt me but I still cared about him. I always have and I think I always will. I collapsed onto the ground. Jared quickly held me, he knew I needed him right now. I knew Javier was just a complete stranger okay...

**1 hour and 37 min later**

We sat in silence, as tears streamed down my face once every now and then. I felt broken, numb. Javier was my first love. My forever and always. What happened to us... I missed him, I loved him... Yeah past tense. I was more in love with the memories. I'll always love him, and care for him. But not in the same way anymore, just like Jared said about his ex... We both changed since high school. The thing I hate to admit is. I already started moving on before any of this... It was quiet in the room.
"Hey, you need to eat something." Jared spoke. I shook my head. "Come on Dani you have to, this isn't good for the baby."
I've never felt so alone and I started crying again, my heart was shattered.
"Hey, hey, hey" Jared cups my face, making me look into those light brown eyes. "I'm still here... And I am not going anywhere." I sat quietly. He picked me up from the floor and laid me on my bed.
"Remind me to buy new sheets." I gag playfully.
He chuckles,"Definitely. She doesn't even have a body, I swear the front and rear is flat." I giggled a little, and smiled. "Good, I got the perfect smile back on your face." He lays down next to me for a second.
"I don't know about perfect loser, but it's something." I poked his nose as we laid side by side.
"But you are perfect." He kissed my forehead. He starts to get up but I grip his shirt and plant a kiss on him.
"Shit sorry I just... Mrgh." I hummed and turned to my side.
"Hey don't worry about it..." He whispered, soon flipping me over kissing my back. Honestly I was shocked. "I'm gonna go make some soup..."
"O-okay..." I watched him walk out of the room. Wasn't long that he came back in.

"Hey you remember how to make it?" I smiled a little.
"Of course." He sat next to me handing the bowel and spoon to devour the soup. I was pretty hungry... Jared flashed the TV on and wrapped his arm around me and placed a blanket over us. I sank into him, his warmth. I look at him and see the bruise on his jaw, from Javier.
"Jared you have a bruise." I finish my soup and place it down.
"Daniella it's fine-" he starts.
"Oh shush I'll be back." I walk into the kitchen to get some frozen peas. As I enter the room I see his eyes closed. I climb onto his lap and straddle him and start to place the cold pack on his face.
"A kiss would've been a better way of waking me up" Jared pretended to has sassiness in his voice.
"Oh welp." I giggled and looking into his eyes, as I kept the peas on his face,"this makes you uglier."
"Wow thanks." Jared laughs placing his hands on my sides.
"Anytime," I give a quick smile,"um Jared... What are we."
"We are two parents, that happen to be best friends, that like to kiss and do all the couple stuff," Jared pauses,"Who are forming feeling for each other." He mumbles the last part.
"So like a couple, but with a child." I giggle.
"Yeah basically." He kisses me. This is what I mean by moving on. When Javier left me I had no one. And here came this guy and he was there. I am more in love with the memories. And don't get me wrong he'll always have a special place in my heart, just not in the same way. My phone started to ring so me and Jared both got up laughing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hi, is this Ms.Rivera?" A woman spoke.
"This is she?" I started to be concerned.
"I just wanted to let you know Javier Reyes, is in the hospital." That's all it took me I darted towards the car, as Jared accompanied me. I started tearing up as I sped over there. As I reach there, I run in the hospital immediately asking for the room and running over there. And there he was. I saw him not only 1-2 hours ago and here he is laying on the hospital bed.
"Ms.Rivera?" A doctor came over. I turn my head, as he continues,"He's only have a couple days to live, I'm sorry." He pats my shoulder.
I walk in and turn to Jared, and he nodded leaving the room for a while.
"Oh Javi..." I burst into tears.
He weakly flutters his eyes open as he started to fluster.
"Daniella..."
"Javi what the hell happened." I asked quietly.
"Car crash... Cassie." He mumbles.
"I'll go find her I'll be right back." I get up and out of the room to ask what room she is in.

"Hey Cassie, you alright?" I ask nicely. I mean she just got in a car crash and is pregnant it doesn't hurt to be a little sweet.
"Where's Javier, is he alright?" She starts to freak out.
"Cassie he's dying." I take in reality and she's in pure shock.
"What do you mean he's dying" The girl seemed mad about it.
"Doctors said he's only got a couple days- maybe hours to live." I look at the ground.
There was a slight pause...
"I don't want the baby." She sighs,"I'm not gonna have a reminder of him around, I'm not having this baby."
"Cassie listen to yourself-"
"No, I'm not having this child." Tears start streaming down her face.
"How about this, have the baby and I'll take him, take care of him like one of my own and you never have to hear about him again." I panic, just saying whatever flopped out of my mouth.
She sat there silent,"Okay... Now get out I want to sleep."
I walk out of the room closing it behind me, rushing back to Javier's room.

"Javi she's okay." I grasp his hand.
He just nods for a second before waving me to come closer. "Daniella I didn't mean what I said."
At first I looked at him confused.
"I'm still in love with you babygirl..." Javier slowly kisses the back of my hand,"I just want you to be happy in the end, even if it's not with me I want the best for you. You've always been my little piece of heaven... I can't thank you enough for what you've done."
"Javi-"
"No just listen to me." He tightens his grip,"I know I don't have that much time to live. But I thought it was going to be me and you forever...well baby, forever has been caught a little short. I'll still be here. I'll still be around you. You just won't be able to see me... Dani from the moment I saw you I knew you were the one. The one I will always love. I didn't mean to hurt you or leave you and I know you didn't mean it ether. I just want to say I'm sorry I broke your heart. I want your forgiveness..."
"Javi it's okay..." I have tears streaming down my face.
"You were my first love... You are my best friend... The love of my life... You will always be my love. For me you'll always be mine. I know we've been through everything together. Sacrificed, but we kept that love strong. You kept me strong. I love you... I always will don't forget okay... Make sure Cassie has the baby. Even if she doesn't want it." He quivers, I guess he got the chills?
"I already got that handled. I'm still here Javier..." I was mid way sobbing.
Javier then brings my head closer and kisses the top,"Be happy... You deserve it Mi Reina... I'll always protect you." I saw him start crying also. After a while he goes limp, and the machine showing his heart rate made that *Beeeeeppppp* sound. A flatline...
I run out of the room,"Somebody help me!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I'm completely sobbing now. A group of people run into his room as I'm shaking uncontrollably. How can he do that to me. Why. I turn around to ram in to Jared. I tried to stop crying but I couldn't.
"Hey, it's okay to cry. I know Dani I know. You lost someone very special in your life. It's okay to feel pain." Jared rubs my back taking me in his arms. I'm sobbing, he's just gone. I'll never hear his voice again, or feel his warmth. Run my fingers through his soft black hair... See that perfect smile, or hear that wonderful laugh... I'll never see him again... No more good mornings or good nights, that is the last time I will ever hear him say I love you.

"I'm sorry... There was nothing we could do." A doctor spoke to me and I saw sadness or pity for me in the mans cloudy blue eyes.
That's when I knew... He really was gone...
