Chapter 31 - 31 - Dream
Jayden's father came the next day together with Percy and Sophie.
"Peggy, the girls were all worried. Emily wanted to come but we know we couldn't let her come here for now." Sophie said softly while giving me a hug.
"I understand. Kyle is not yet ready to meet her." I said.
"Did they find out about anything?" She asked.
We were sitting on the couch inside Jayden's room while the doctors were talking to his dad.
"They asked me if Jayden has an illness that might be affecting his brain. They said if he doesn't wake up today, he will fall into a coma. Sophie what should I do? How could I make him wake up?" I asked with a trembling voice.
Sophie's eyes have different colors. If you look at them, they were like gems sparkling in the moonlight. She's like a doll so every time you see her face, you feel calm and at peace.
She held my hand and smiled.
"Trust him. He's strong and he loves you so much so I know he'll come back to you."
"Thank you Sophie."
"Peggy." It was Jayden's dad.
"Dad." I rushed towards him and he gave me a hug.
"This is what happened to him before. When he fell into a coma for 4 months. He won't let his mother take over his body so he couldn't wake up." He said.
My heart felt it was crashed into pieces. What if he won't wake up for more than 4 months? Or worst, he won't wake up at all.
"Dad. I can't lose him. Please do everything you can." I said while sobbing.
"I know. But you have to rest as well. Eat. Jayden would be mad if he found out you're not resting."
I nodded and walked towards Jayden. I laid down beside him, wrapping my arms around his waist.
Everyone in the room went out and left us. I brushed his hair and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"Come back to me love. Please." I said it over and over until I've fallen asleep.
I woke up with the wind brushing on my face. When I opened my eyes, I'm still in Jayden's room but he was not there. I rushed outside and look for him. I saw him in the garden, I was so happy. He's awake.
I ran towards him but I saw someone was with him. They were laughing. Who's that?
"Jayden?" I called but it seems he can't hear me.
Is this a dream? Who's dream? Is it mine or Jayden's?
When I looked at the person he's talking to, it was a woman. The woman suddenly smirked at me and hugged Jayden. She looks familiar. She's his mother.
I walked towards them and I saw Jayden's face. His eyes were gray, it doesn't show any emotions. It's like he's dead.
I shook my head and squealed.
"No! Please don't take him away from me. I'll do everything. Just give him back to me. Please!" I said while crying.
"He's my son! No one can take him away from me! We are one! I will always be with him! Now, it's time for me to take him." She said.
"No! You can't! He loves me. You have to let him go. You're already dead. Please don't you want him to be happy? How about your husband? He'll suffer if you take Jayden from him!" I said, begging.
"He can join me and his son after." She answered.
"How about your revenge? You want to know who killed you right? I-I can help you! I-I promise we'll bring justice to your death. Please give him back to me!" I was hysterrical.
I ran towards them and grabbed Jayden in the arms. I cupped his face and talked.
"Jayden, please come back! You said you won't leave me! How could you? Please baby. I'm waiting. The house, we have our plans right? We already planned our future together. You said once I'm ready I could wear the ring. I'll wear it now! Look, here it is!" I showed him the necklace and the ring he gave me as a pendant.
I was about to take it off so I can wear it on my finger when his mother attacked me from behind. She gave out her full strength to pull me away and pushed me. I broke down on the floor.
"He will never disobey me. He loves his mother more than anyone else in the world. I would never allow anyone to come between us." She said almost yelling.
I looked at Jayden and I was surprised.
"Jayden?" I murmured.
He was crying. There are tears flowing from his right eye. He's in there! He can hear me! I stood up and yelled.
"Love! I'm here! I won't go anywhere! I will wait for you no matter how long it takes. I won't give up on you!" I said. Them I looked at his mother and stared into her eyes.
"Do you hear me? I would never give up your son! You overly obssessed bitch! I know he wanted to go back to me, you're just so selfish and won't let him! You're dead! You're just a product of his imagination! He created you! I won't let any woman take him away from me, especially to a ghost!" I said yelling at her.
Then she suddenly laugh. He hugged Jayden again and faced me.
"You're stronger than I thought." She said. Then she smiled at me. Her smile was warm and gentle like someone coming from a mother.
"Are you really willing to cross the depths of hell for him?" She asked. That's what I told him yesterday. She heard.
"Like what you said, my son created me. I am him. I can hear your cries but he can't hear you." She continued in a sad voice.
"Why? Where is he?" I asked.
"Somewhere in the dark. He's lost again. He can't let go of me. His pain grew when he met my family. He wanted to get revenge even more."
"But he said, you're the one who wanted revenge." I said, frowning.
"Because he wanted to believe that. Peggy, I'm already dead. He wanted to preserve his memory of me so he created me, his other self. But by creating me, his pain and thirst for revenge grew. When he met you, that was the time he found peace." She paused.
"Would you like to share his pain? She asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I can show you his memory of that day. When I was murdered."
