Timeless
Dreams aren't reality
It was the summer of 2021, the sun kissed my skin as I looked out the window, I was getting ready to meet Harvey the man of my dreams since I met him back in high school, since then we've been best friends however my love for him runs way deeper than that of friends
I got dressed in a white summer dress that contrasted my dark hair I looked sensational, I was never a fan of makeup but I wore a little to add a dash of colour to the usual dull canvas that is myself
I arrived at our hangout spot at Titus Park and without looking twice I spotted him
he looked so handsome wearing that dark shirt and ripped jeans
standing at 6'5 his body acted as a wind breaker in the playful summer breeze
Harvey
Indigo, there you are finally I was wondering if you got lost
Indigo
lol, no Harv I just lost track of time
Harvey
I should have known your always late, you even arrived at our graduation ceremony 2 hours late
Indigo
oh come on.... that was a year ago give me a break
Harvey
lol, you silly girl
I asked you here because I want your honest opinion about something
Harvey
What are your thoughts about Crystal Christie?
Indigo
you mean CC from our English class?
Indigo
she's a descent human, smart and pretty, why did you ask me tho?
Harvey
I'm going to ask her out
I should have known better, guys like Harvey don't do girls like me
doesn't hurt any less though
Indigo
that's great, I know she'll say yes I mean who will turn down a stud like you
Harvey
Thanks Indigo, your a great friend
there it is that word I dread, that word that keeps bringing me to reality, Friend
Harvey
come on lets go get some ice cream my treat
Indigo
no, I can't I've got somewhere I gotta be
that's odd she never turns down ice cream
Harvey
bummer it's kool your buying next time tho
Indigo
sure I'll text you later
Roxanne
Indigo, hurry come to the hospital quick, it's Harvey he's been in an accident!!
Unexpected
I froze for that moment time stood still and I prayed it was a dream
Roxanne
Indigo do you hear me
hello Indigo!!!
I didn't care that I was in pyjamas or that my hair looked like a birds nest
I just had to know he was ok.
I hopped in my car and drove at full speed
But even with all the rush I wasn't prepared for the worst
As I entered the hospital I was greeted by an all too familiar feeling
the air was still and I knew death had been here
Indigo
Excuse me, I'm looking for Harvey Oswald
Nurse Troy
Are you family?
Nurse Troy
Can I see your ID?
Indigo
yes, how long will this take I must see him?
Nurse Troy
this is standard procedure mam be patient
Nurse Troy
This is odd, according to Mr. Oswald's file he has no siblings
So who exactly are you?
Indigo
I'm his best friend he's my only family, please I'm begging you let me see him
I was fighting back tears, it felt just like 5 years ago
Nurse Troy
I'm sorry mam only family members are permitted to seeing him
Nurse Troy
But no one has arrived to see him so I'll let it slide just once
Nurse Troy
he's in room 57, be prepared
I thanked him and hurried to his room. It was quiet and so cold, I braced myself and opened the door
instantly I fell to the ground in tears
He was unrecognizable, wrapped in bandages from head to toe, his visible skin battered and his eyes swollen shut
it was like a horror movie except this horror was all too real
Indigo
Harv can you hear me?
Indigo
Dang you got pretty banged up huh, what happened Harv?
Roxanne
it was a hit and run, he was crossing the street and a truck came from no where and hit him
I looked yup and saw Roxanne standing there with tears in her eyes
She was his next door neighbour
I got up and embraced her tightly no longer could she contain it she poped like a ripe cherry
Roxanne
I was coming from the grocery store, I needed ingredients for dinner and Harvey saw me with my bags offered to carry them for me , it happen so fast I..I couldn't help him
Roxanne
I didn't know who else to call
Indigo
it's ok he's strong he's going to be fine, he has to, he's all I have
Doctor Lee
I'm sorry Indigo, we couldn't save them
Indigo
no, your lying they can't they wouldn't leave me
your lying
Doctor Lee
we did all we could
Five years ago I lost both my parents in a house fire
I was only spared because I was staying at a friend's house. I was only 13 when death strolled into my life and by the looks of it he's not ready to leave
For once in my life I wanted to be wrong
but life never goes how we want
I left the hospital at 12 in the morning, Harvey was still unconscious.
Hope
Nurse Troy
Miss Indigo I'm sorry but unless the medical bills are paid, we cannot keep him on the oxygen any longer.
Nurse Troy
Your bill has already exceeded a million dollars
Indigo
please I beg for your patience, I'll get the money within a month.
Nurse Troy
With all do respect this hotel cannot run on only patience miss, bills must be paid its already been a month.
If the hospital does not recieve payment within a week, we have no choice but to pull the plug.
Indigo
but sir I beg of you please
Nurse Troy
no buts either you pay or face the consequence
There was no arguing with him, I pleaded but he was adamant about what had to be done
And so was I, I quit school and started working three jobs but the money earned didn't scrach the surface of his medical expenses so I did the unthinkable
Ace
So what can I do for a pretty little thing like you?
Ace our city's famous money launder, rumour had it that if someone couldn't pay him back he would slice off a part of their body for ever dollar they owed.
But here I was desperate sitting in front of this vile pig desperate for help
Indigo
I need to borrow some money
Ace
how much sweet cheeks?
Ace
1 million, that's alot of money, how are you gonna pay me back, you have a house or car for collateral?
Ace
well you can keep my company for a few nights, If you can't pay
With a pretty little thing like you I'll be gentle
I was disgusted, the lust in his eyes was clear as day but for Harvey I had to endure it
Indigo
I'll pay the money back within two months
Ace
no can do babe a month is all you get
Ace
if you want an extension you gotta pay the right price * wink*
Indigo
*shiver runs down spine*
a month its a deal
Ace
not yet sign on the dotted line
and write down your address
Indigo
why do you need my address?
Ace
so I can find you sweetie
he said in a sly tone
Ace
Good girl
now here's what you came for
he handed me an envelope, inside was a cheque for the exact million
I hurriedly left the building and went home.
I was relieved that I was a step closer to saving him
I went to bed with a feeling I hadn't felt for a while.....
it was Hope.
As soon as morning came I leaped out of bed and went to the hospital
Indigo
here you are a million dollars, all his expenses should be cleared up now
Nurse Troy
Miss Indigo I'm sorry but I have bad news
Nurse Troy
please take a seat
Indigo
I'm fine just tell me what it is so I can see Harvey
Nurse Troy
I'm afraid that Harvey passed away a few minutes before you arrived........I...
I'm Sorry.
the news hit me like a bullet
it pierced through my body with great impact
The man I loved was dead.
