Chapter 34: Changes (part 1)
3rd Person’s POV:
It had been a week after Kirt’s death, his funeral hadn’t prepared yet, because without Ben’s presence, it would be a great grief. Ben was still in coma, and Tucker never left his side, even for a second. He stopped his usual activities: martial arts, studying, even his favorite things to do; only to focus on his admirer sleeping like an angel. At times, he cried for Kirt leaving his love, but it was his own fate that made him do that, or not. Every night, Tucker prayed to God (after all, God is merciful, kind, devotes the well-being humans that live on Earth.), hope that one day, Ben would open his angelic eyes to see him, although he was an atheist (never believe God or any superstitions). Until one day, Ben unexpectedly woke up.
Ben’s POV:
“No…no…no…. NO! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! IT’S ALL A LIE. WHY? ☹”, I screamed in my mind, not believing whatever happened. Until, a familiar voice struck my head. “Ben… It’s me, I’m here for you, don’t cry.”. It’s Kirt’s voice, I turned my head to see him, still him, standing in front of me. I hugged him tight, never wanted to let go. Kirt also hugged me “I’m sorry that I left you, but I can’t take it anymore, I still don’t want to hurt myself or you and everyone else. Please forgive me, sugar plum?”, said Kirt in his childlish voice. “Of course I will. But I’m really sorry, I should have come home earlier to take care of you, it’s all my fault.”, I tried to repent my mistake but Kirt, still acted cool and kissed my forehead. Those kisses of him always made me feel existed. “Ben, I know you’re really love me, and I love you too. But it’s time for you to move on, look!”, Kirt then looked up to see Tucker holding my ‘dead’ hand, crying, mumbing. “Please… come back, Benny Boo. Please!”, he kept whispering to me to wake me up. I turned to Kirt, smiling. “You see, when you’re in coma because of me, he had been with you ever since, he never left you, even for a second, he didn’t eat anything for over a week. (chuckles), I have no idea how he could survive without hospitality, he also sacrificed everything to be with you. Can you see how he proved his love to you?”, said Kirt as he held my hand from his soft hand. “At first, I felt jealous about that, afraid that he might steal you. But then, on the other hand, I was wrong about him. He never hold any grudges against me, in fact, he helped me being with your side. But now, I think he needs you.”, explained the lover who cared for his ‘treasure’. “But, what about you?”, I asked. “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you always. Just look at my pictures, and feel that I am here for both of you. For now, go back to the reality, Ben.”. And just like that, I was snapped back to reality. I looked around to see myself in a dark room, with some medicine, and I’m sitting on a white-sheet bed like a hospital bed. I realized that I’m in the hospital, I looked to the left to see Tucker holding my hand gently, sleeping and snoring quite loudly. “Tucker? Wake up! Rise and shine!”, Tucker woke up and opened his eyes wide to see me already woken up. He quickly hugged me, which was quite hurt. “Ow, take it easy.”, I joked and he apologized. Strange! He never apologized for anything. “ You know how much I am worried about, Benny Boo! Finally, you came back. I miss you so much!”, “I miss you too, Tiger.”
