Sunday is a boring day. I choose to stay at home ytd. Well, conclusion, staying at home to study is really not effective. Why is that so? Because I ate and sleep all day. See what happened now? I am so energetic... nice one... did practically nothing lor. except slp and eat and study chem test... which is less than 24h b4 it starts... I'm prepared to be late tml again... just eaten a bowl of instant noodles so apparently I won't be sleeping that early.
Okay... I thought of a story... so here it goes...
Johnathan was waiting for Jessica at her workplace as usual. Jessica was working night shift because she had classes to attend in the morning. She was a full-time polytechnic student while Johnathan was a full-time Junior College student. Both were 17 years old. They knew each other when they were in the same secondary school which was 4 years ago.
Jessica, is a plain and simple girl. She came from a poor family. Her father passed away when she was barely 2 years of age. She was the only child at home. Hence, she and her mother very close. She was a filal child as she knew that her mother had a hard time taking care of her all these years. That is why she had choosen the path of going to polytechnic. She actually had a good "O"level result that could actually go to a pretty good Junior College. However, she thought that this path could actually come out to the society to work faster and lessen the burden of her mother of paying for her university fees. At the same time, she could actually work and study at the same time to lessen the burden of her mother.
After not long, Jonathan saw Jessica came out of the building with a group of 4 guys. His heart sinken a bit but still he went to approach her.
"Jessica.." Johnathan whispered.
"Hi, what's up?" Jessica asked.
"I'm here to pick you up."
"I can go home myself. There is no need for you to pick me up."
"But it is dangerous for you, a lady to go home at night."
"Look John, I'm not a kid anymore. You have been protecting me all these years. I know you wanted to keep your promise to Jason. But you have your own life and I have mine. Let's move on okay? Ben (one of the 4 guys) could take me home. See you some day. Bye."
Johnathan tried to pull Jessica but Ben pushed him away.
Ben threatened, "Are you deaf or what? She asked me to take her home. She don't need you."
Jessica sat on Ben's motobike and drove away, leaving John staring in the cold night air.
Jessica and Ben were under Jessica's block.
"Thanks for the ride. I can go up myself."
"Don't you think you should give me a kick before you go?"
"Huh?"
"Don't act innocent. We are all adults."
Ben tried to pull Jessica close to him. He tried to kiss her. Jessica kept struggling with all her might. She dare not scream because she did not want to alert up her neighbours but most importantly, her mother. She finally pulled away and gave Ben a tight slap and ran away quickly.
Before she opened the door to her house, she tried to calm herself down in case her mother is still awake. She opened the door, sensing that her mother was in her room, she creaped into her room and cried sliently in the dark and cold room...
The next day, everything was as per normal for Jessica. However, after her classes had ended, she saw Ben was waiting for her at the gate. She tried to turn away, but he spoted her and caught her.
"Why are you walking so fast? Where are you going?"Ben asked. "Just wanted to appologised for the way I reacted yesterday. I treat you lunch as a mean of returning back, can?"
"Sorry I'm not free."Jessica replied coldly.
"Come on. That's mean you not forgiving me. Really, I'm really sincere about the treat."Ben begged.
"I really not free, Ben, another day I guess."
"Don't you think you can get away that easy, girl. I say go means go."Ben angered.
He pulled Jessica by her arm and dragged her towards his motorbike. Jessica struggled. Johnathan passed-by.
"What are you doing?! Let go of her!"
"What are you doing here?" Ben questioned.
"I say let go of her."
"She is mine."
"If you are not letting go of her, I'm going to call the police." Johnathan threatened.
"Whatever, I won't let you off so easily kid. You wait!" Ben drove his motorbike off.
Jessica and Johnathan walked silently. When they were under Jessica's block, Jessica finally broke the silence.
"Er, I think I can walk up myself. Thanks for er, ya, everything."
"Er, I think you should quit your job."
"You are worried? There is no need to worry. I have been thinking of changing shift so that my shift and his shift does not crash."
"Er. Okay."
"Is there anything else?"
"I have been thinking what you have told me yesterday. That I should not be tight down by a promise and move on with my life."
"Ya, you should. You should get yourself a girlfriend. Eliene is a nice girl you know? If not there is Jamie, Jenny and Annie. Don't tell me you are a gay. haha. "
Johnathan blushed, "I'm not a gay."
"I'm only kidding." Jessica laughed.
It had been long since I heard her laughed, Johnathan thought.
"I think I wasn't beening tight down by a promise, I do these because I feel that I need to do them. Not just because of a promise but because... I love you... "
Jessica was shunned. She did not know what to say.
"I like you since the day I saw you in school but you know Jason earlier so I had a crush on you secretly."
Jessica still had not regain from the shock. Johnathan hugged her tightly.
"Wait!"Jessica pushed him away.
"Sorry, it was all too sudden. I can't accept this. All these years, I really grateful for what you had done for me. I always been treating you as a friend, Jason's buddy. I really can't accept this. I really can't... I'm sorry..."
Jessica ran up the stairs...
A few weeks later, Johnathan's mum called Jessica.
"Hello, is this Jessica?"
"Yes, speaking. Who's this?"
"I'm Johnathan's mum. He had met with an car accident. Can you come and see him one last time, I afraid he can't make it... " The line was cut off before Jessica could reply.
Jessica was feeling dizzy, everything was like so blur. How could this happen? Why is this happening? How is Johnathan? Is he okay? All these questions rush through Jessica's mind. She could not think probably, she could not even remember how she reached the hospital.
"Auntie, uncle, how is John?" Jessica was breathless by the time she reached the hospital.
Uncle was consoling auntie. She seemed to have been crying, her eyes were swollen. He brought her to a seat then went to attend to Jessica.
"John has a blood clot in his brain. The doctor is trying to remove it. As the blood clot is pretty near the nerve, the percentage of removing the blood clot is pretty low. The doctor told us to be prepare for the worst."Uncle explained. "This is his diary. I saw him carrying it whenever he goes. I think it is better to give it to you."
Jessica took the diary from him.

My 1st day of school was great as I saw this girl in my class. She had a sweet smile with a chubby face. Her name is Jessica. But I was too shy to talk to her.
15 Feb 2004
My best friend told me he dated Jessica on V's day. He asked her if she wanted be his girlfriend. She agreed. How am I feeling? I was heartbroken. But I had to act like nothing had happened and congrats on my brother for getting himself a girlfriend.
4 April 2005
My best friend passed away in a car accident. I was miserable. I think she was miserable as well. She was crying bitterly at his funneral. I lent her my shoulder. Seeing her cry made my heart ache even more... How am I going to do to make her feel better?
25 Aug 2005
I haven't been seeing her smile since my best friend's death. She told me she is okay and asked me not to worry. But how in the world can I not worry for her...

Last day of paper... I asked if she wanted to destress herself... she said she found a job and told me to enjoy myself...
15 Feb 2007
Release of "O"level result... she was top in school! I asked which school she wanted to go... she said she going to polytechnic... I wanted to go poly as well... but my parents don't allow...
17 March 2007
Able to pick her up at work has been my happiest time of the day... but she told me today not to pick her up... I was feeling terrible...
18 March 2007
I told her my feelings towards her... she rejected me... I was miserable... horrible... feel so weak... why... ?
Jessica cried as she read Johnathan's diary. Every single post is about her. She loved her so much yet she had hurt him deeply.
John, please stay alive, please don't leave me alone, please don't leave me alone just like what Jason did to me. Please stay strong... I NEED YOU... Jessica prayed hard.
After long hours of operation, the operation door finally opened.
"The operation is a successful one. He has a great will power. You can go and see him but his condition is still pretty weak."
The 3 of them went into the patient's room.
"Jessica, I think you are tired already. You should go home and rest." Uncle suggested.
"I'm not tired. I wanted to stay to see him. I think you two should go home and rest. I can stay to wait. If Johnathan wakes up, I call you."
"Okay then I bring auntie go home 1st, anything call me okay."
Jessica was way too tired that she slept by the side of Johnathan's bed.
When Jessica was awoke, Johnathan was already awake.
"You are awake. I go and call doctor."
Johnathan pulled her.
"No, don't. Don't leave me. Stay by my stay."
Jessica smiled.
"Okay."
"Thanks"
"Thanks for what? "
"Thanks for the encouragement when I was having my operation. You wanted me to stay alive and don't leave you alone. And you say you needed me. "
"But how you know?"
"I was know it. There is something called telepathy I guess."
"oh I forget. I promise your parents to call them once you are awake."
Johnathan discharged from hospital after a few months. Johnathan thinks that this accident is a blessings in disguished. Now, he and Jessica was together as a couple... =)
The end... so late already.. wah... wasted my sleeping hour... good nights.. =)
