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.
