Chapter
12:
The Fatal End
Nick entered the hospital room
where he saw Jessica laying motionless. He walked over to the bed and kneeled
down. He touched her arm softly not wanting to hurt her. The doctors had just
told him that she would not wake from the coma and would die in 2 hours or
less. He reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small cylinder with
a green liquid in it. He smiled down at Jessica. Why he asked himself, why did
this have to happen on their wedding day? He put the container to his lips and
began to drink. He stopped when Jessica’s hand touched his face. He took away
the container when she smiled at him. It was already getting hard to breath.
She looked at him with concerned eyes realizing what he had done.
“Have you none left for me?” She asked looking down at the
cylinder that was almost empty. Nick’s body began to shake as the poison began
to work. Jessica held on to him tightly has his body begun to go limp. She
looked down at the small cylinder and sighed, there wasn’t enough.
“Was it poison? Why? Why would you leave in this cruel world all
alone?” She demanded. Nick looked up at her with dying eyes.
“Maybe if I kiss you the poison will leave your lips and onto
mine.” Jessica replied making their lips touch. She drew back.
“With a kiss and I…” Nick trailed off. Jessica felt his body go
limp. She shook her head not wanting to believe it. She took the cylinder in
her hands and looked into it. Nick was gone there was no reason to live. She
reached into his jacket and smiled at what she found. She pulled put the small
metal object and placed it to her temple. She took a deep breath and pulled the
trigger. She fell back next to Nick. There the two star-crossed lovers lay.
They couldn’t be together nobody had wanted them together. But together they
were in death. Jessica’s family was expecting to attend a wedding not a
funeral.
