Jess/ica Chapter 9 Of 11 [Inside Scoop: Picture of Loise Dewey]
She had an attack again. Now, this is more fatal for her head bumped on the floor. But someone got her...is it Jess or Martin?
"You're awake." It's Martin. Right, he was the one who brought me here.
"Am I fine?"
"Yes, and you'll still be able to attend Victoria's wedding later at 3pm." He said which shocked me.
"Victoria and Jess?" I was still puzzled. How many years was I here?
"Yes, here's their invitation. Congratulations, you're the Maid of Honor!" I eyed the invitation.
"I was here for 3 years? No way."
The door opened again, this time it was the doctor. He told Martin to leave the room, and he obeyed. The doctor seated on my bed, beside my feet. And he started explaining to me what happened.
"Do you remember the night where you drank 2 bottles of Tequila?"
"Yes."
"How about the time where you bumped your head on the floor when you had an attack?"
"Yes."
"We found a benign tumor in your left brain but don't worry, we got it already. Your constant attacks also contributed to the length of your stay here. You were in comma for 3 years, Jessica. I'm glad you're back just in time for your best friend's wedding."
I saw a lavender gown hung on the left side of my bed. Lavender is Victoria's favorite color. I later concluded, it's my gown for her wedding. I expected my heart to sting, but instead of that same sensation, I felt it break. My phone was ringing, it's Victoria. I tried to reach for it, but I can't. I tried to stand, but worse, I fell. The only thing I could do is to crawl and grab my phone. Luckily, I was able to.
"Jessica, I missed you! Will you come here now so we'll dress you up?" Her voice didn't change.
"Vicky, I can't even reach for my phone! How do you expect me to walk down the aisle with you?"
"Wheelchair?" She's being humorous again.
"Just be in my wedding honey. I want you here." That's what I love about her, her sweetness.
"Alright." Then I remembered who her groom's going to be - Jess.
In the middle her call, I dropped the phone. My body suddenly froze. I can't move my eyes; I can't move my arms, even my toes. All I can do is scream.
"Help! Somebody help me!" I yelled.
"Jessica? Oh my goodness, Jessica what's wrong?" I don't want Victoria worrying about me on her wedding day, but I'm freaking out.
The doctors and nurses rushed into my ward pushing some machines with them. This totally freaked me out. My phone was still on the floor until one nurse got it and turned it off. No, Victoria would be really worried.
They laid my stoned body on the bed and attached the machines on my head. They also injected me with a lot of things. One of those was the one that would make me doze off. I woke up; it was already 12 in the afternoon, feeling better than I was hours ago. Martin was sleeping on the couch inside my ward. I don't want to disturb him, but I need to because I should go to Victoria's wedding.
"Martin, we gotta go to Vicky's wedding."
The church was just a few blocks from the hospital. He told me to cross the street first 'coz he's going buy something. I was in the middle of the road when I felt my feet froze. The same thing is happening. All I can hear are cars honking, and Martin yelling.
