The Pain of Memories

POV OF TAYLOR WILLIFORD

I learned something new about Jordan today plus the pain of monsters she has and to learn that it's not only me.

Unknown number

Hey Sexy, Jordan gave me your number to text just in case her phone died. Anyway Jordan got onto the dance team! Plus I'm coming over because someone's back and we need to talk. Tell her that but later Taylor! P.s this is from Trent cause Andy's phone died.

First I don't know who the hell Trent is but he is so perky. Anyway the other text said.

Justin 

Yo, dude you got on the football team with me and I'm QB! Won't be home until 9pm! We got thorw a party before my dad gets back bro this friday telling the school.

He's so happy while I'm sitting in his sister's room with her sleeping on my chest. She was moving tugging on my shirt with worry lines on her forehead. She was having a night mare so I started to shake her. "Jordan I'm here! Jordan wake up! Jordan I'm here!" I yelled as she started to shake saying get off of me. "Jordan!" I screamed. She jolted up looking around the room until her eyes landed on me. 

"Ugh, I'm sorry Taylor." she said putting her finger though her hair.

"Taylor help me please. I can't have this happen to me again. Please do something to help me." she pleaded me. How am supposed to help her? Tell he the story of your dad. No she's not ready. Yes she is! Tell her so she can understand the pain. Tell her! 

“I think it's time I tell you a story." I said slowly. I've never told anyone this story. She nodded her head and position herself in front of me on the bed. 

"Jordan, its ok you've heard me scream in my sleep." I assured her.

"I was 12 years old. My dad and I were driving home because that day I came to work with him at the hospital. We saw this car accident on the bridge and this man was yelling in pain. My dad told me to stay in the car and he went to the car and got the man out of the car. Then started to get the other people out of the car. Than man left the car in drive and the car started to roll to the railing but dad didn't notice he only cared about those people. But when he handed the baby to the mom the car fell off the railing with my dad in there. My dad was pulled to the bottom of the ocean with that car." A tear fell out my eye as I said the story but I wasn't done. "But then the helicopter came and my dad was recused from the ocean. But then there was another problem. My dad had lung cancer and so much salt water got into his lungs. That didn’t help because he was barely alive and was breathing water. So one day I was in the hospital playing around and they had him on a breathing machine and my dad told me to come. So I obeyed and he said Taylor I’m sorry I can’t live like this anymore. They can’t cure me. I will die and I want to. I’m not afraid and you shouldn’t be either .There is a child name Hailey who needs a heart transplant and I’m going to give her my heart. I didn’t know what he meant at the time. He told me to watch over my mom and then called me his little soldier. He smiled at me and pulled the plugged to the breathing machine. I watched him choke on water and blood until the heat machine did the long beep. Then a bunch of doctors came and took his body to do the surgery. He died from helping people.” I said looking at Jordan and by then I was sobbing and couldn’t talk anymore.  Jordan was holding me and rubbing my back. “Our parents died because their hearts were too big and they wanted to help and change the world. I know it may hurt and it still does but we have to understand it was for good reasons.” By then we were both crying and hugging.

“Thank you.” whispered Jordan into my shoulder.

“You’re welcome angel.” I said into her hair and then I heard her belly grumbled. “I think we should feed the hungry beast in your stomach.” We laughed a little and stopped hugging. “But let’s get something else than those sandwiches. Want to go to the diner from earlier?” I asked her smiling.

“How do you do it?” she asked me, smiling.

“Do what?” I questioned. I was really confused

“Smile and make others smile when you’re not even happy.” she said

“Well I can’t spend my whole life crying or being sad because then I would never smile. Plus I’m looking at you so who wouldn’t smiled just by looking at you?” I said looking as the heat rushed to her face.

“Stop it, but if we are going to the diner, you’re carrying Me.” she stated as we put on our shoes.

“Well ok!” I said in one motion carrying her in bridal style running downstairs. She was laughing as I walked out the house.

“I don’t have any money or my phone,” she giggled.

“I got the money and why do you need a phone when you have me to talk to.” I boasted and she just punched me in my chest.

“Whatever let me lock the door.” She said as I slammed the door behind me. I dipped her low enough to lock the top lock.

“Ok let’s get some food! I’m starving.” I said in my most girly voice I could talk in.

“Shut Up!” she said while rolling her eyes as I continued to walk to the diner.
