Is There Still Hope in Me?

“Are you okay Jane?”

“Yeah I’m okay.”

“Good. Let me just get my phone.”

So Daniel went to get his cellphone in the bag. I still didn’t understand why he needed it. But as soon as I saw how his expression was, glaring at Jake then to his phone, I finally knew who he was calling.

“Hello cops? Can you please come to Albury Base Hospital? (coptalking in the phone) I have a criminal here in room 1019. His name is Jake Smith. (cop talking in the phone) yes and please come immediately before he gets up in 15-20 minutes. (cop talking in the phone) yeah... Thank you...”

He puts down the phone and goes back to me. I had mixed emotions. Excited because Jake will finally be captured but I was also scared for he might come back to haunt us again… fear ran down through my veins, I shivered in fear and cried softly. I felt Daniel’s hand relax on my shoulder and comforted me. after a while, Jake woke up. He was groaning as he held his nose. He got up and looked around the room, searching for Daniel. Then, he found him and said,

“You mother fucking son of a bitch! You broke my nose! Now I have to get a nose job again!”

He charged towards us, his hands were sculpted into animal-like claws. but suddenly, four hands grabbed him from behind, I figured it was the cops. The whole front door was surrounded by 4 more cops who were behind the other two. They had their guns pointed to Jake. Jake was struggling hard to break free but the cops really held him tight.

“Daniel you asshole!” Jake shouted to Daniel

“Thank me when you’re in bars already.” (Smug face)

“I’m not a criminal! He’s the one! Look he broke my nose!”

“I had to since you were choking Jane!”

“she isn’t hurt anyway!”

“HELLO!?! She WAS hurt! You dimwit!” Then the cop holding back Jake’s right arm interrupted,

“HEY HEY HEY!!! Stop your jabbering you fools! Come on Smith. We’re going downtown!”

Downtown!? I’m innocent!”

“Pssssshhhh! Tell it to the judge you creep!” I shouted to him.

Then he was being pulled away by the cops while he shouts and repeats the two last words he said.

“Finally we’re in peace!” I said aloud.

“Yes! We finally are! Now we won’t have any trouble anymore!”

we hugged each other tight but I stopped him since I couldn’t hold my breath for longer than a minute. Although we were happy, I still felt in my stomach that Jake could possibly come back for me... I winced at the thought. but I know that Daniel will always be with me. So, all i had to do now, is to be with daniel at ALL times...
