Chapter 16
Jays eyes clouded, his body going limp before he hit the floor. He laid on the ground with his eyes wide open, tears sliding down his red cheeks. He tried to scream, to move, to do anything.. But his body refused, his brain practically shutting itself down. He couldn't move, or react but he could hear the shrieks from his mother, and the thumping of startled feet lurching towards him before his vision went hazy and he blacked out from mental, and physical shock. His mind was silent, only a small ball of light was visible in the distance. A soft voice slowly growing more and more understandable.
"..Up..."
What..?
"..Wake up.."
W-who's there..?
"Jay! Wake up!"
Ellestial..? Ellestial?!
"ELLESTIAL!" Jay's voice echoed through the empty hospital room.
His heart was racing, and his clothing drenched in cold sweat. Surprisingly, he wasn't connected to any I.Vs and he was quickly able to push himself up and out of the blue sheeted bed and onto the floor as his legs gave out underneath him. He cussed loudly in pain as his knee slammed onto the cold stone floor. He pushed himself up and planted his feet on the ground, wobbling a bit before he threw himself forward and out of the hospital room. He raced around a corner, trying to figure out where he was and how far away he was from Ellestial's room.

"JAY! HURRY!" Stacy cried, her feet nearly giving out from under her.
Jay wiped his teary eyes, practically sliding through the halls to Ellestials room. He slid into the door while ripping it open, his knuckles turning white from gripping the handle so tightly. His gaze glided over to Ellestial, his heart lurching out of his chest. He thought the worst, scanning the I.V monitor. He almost choked on his saliva when he let out a huge gasp of both relief and confusion.
"W-whats wrong..? Why..?" He stuttered, trying to find out why he was called over when she seemed fine.
"Jay.." a soft voice sounded throughout the silent room.
Jays eyes slowly travelled over to Ellestials bed, his eyes widening as tears began to pour down his face. Slow at first but gradually gaining speed.
"E.. E-Ellestial..! Ellestial! Ellestial! Oh my lord, Ellestial!" He cried, flinging forward onto her bed.
He grabbed her in his arms and sobbed the longest, and loudest sob he could manage to let out. He held her tightly, his face nuzzled into her chest.
"J-Jay-"
"Y-You're alive..! You're awake..! Thank god, Ellestial..!" Jay cried, cutting her off, "don't d-do that to me!"
When he looked up to kiss her, he saw her smiling face, tears streaming down her cherry red cheeks. She placed her forehead on his, her tears plopping onto his cheeks.
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, Jay." She apologized before Jay stroked her cheek, pulling her forward and planting a huge kiss on her lips.
She deepened the kiss before Jays eyes were whipped open by a sudden alarming beeping noise. He pulled back, a sudden weight pressing against his chest and shoulder.
It was as though time froze, only moving slowly though Jay was able to move at a normal speed. He look around the room, his eyes locking onto his Mother and Fathers grief ridden faces, tears beginning to fall down their faces. He brought his gaze back to Ellestial who was slumped down against his chest, her head resting on his shoulder. His heart began racing, time speeding up. He placed his hands on her shoulders, his gaze switching from her limp body to the beeping monitor. His eyes swelled, tears forming before beginning their flood. He began shaking her, his voice stolen. His hearing was drowned out, the sounds bubbling like he was underwater.
He screamed, he cried, he shook her, he did everything he could, until he gave into reality and its truth. He held her head in one of his arms, resting her body on his legs before placing his free hand on her cheek, wiping away the tears they shared. He placed his forehead on hers before he let out a strange noise. He whipped back his head, tears soaking his clothes.
"ELLESTIAAAAAAL!"
The beeping of the monitor went silent, the once escalating line falling straight.
