5. MONTHS LATER

Jane's POV  April 24, 2015

Past five months were  both good and bad. My equation with Harry was good. In fact, we've become really fast friends. When he came to know that I was on anti- depressants he made it his mission to help me through this. And two months ago I got rid of them. Even though I took them only for three months but I was relieved when the effect of drug washed out of my body. After you put a stop to these pills, it becomes really hard to hold back the temptation to shove them in your mouth. The same happened with me. I was kinda addicted to them.

Why wouldn't I be? They made me feel happy. But now I'm much happy without them. I couldn't have imagined to go through this without him. He's really a sincere friend. But still, he hasn't opened up fully. I don't know anything about his past or family neither he knows about me. We are just living each day as it comes.

Now to the bad part which is really bad. He's not showing any improvement. I'm really scared. He's so young and I can't see my  friend and most importantly my patient on wheelchair again. That's why I've decided that I'm going to take a risk today. Its really foolish step but its my last try otherwise I'll give up his case to the best physiotherapist in London. I don't want him to suffer.

Not only that but the fact that his deposits are vanishing and  he's not paying any attention to this is also making me sick......

I deeply sighed as I started packing the lunch. Harry to hospital and hospital to Harry.. Its really tiring. I kept the lunch in my car and drove off to Harry's.

"I brought lunch", I beamed as I entered the living room. There was no reaction. I was a bit astonished at this because Harry usually jumps in happiness when he doesn't have cook something for himself. He's a lazy lad.  Right now he was sitting on the couch with his back towards me.

I kept the food at the kitchen counter." And I made it myself", I tried to catch his attention but it was vain. I finally stood in front of him and saw a totally different Harry in front of my eyes. His nose tip was red and his eyes were sore. He tried to hide his face but failed miserably.

I sat near him on the couch and wiped his tears. He had a picture in his hands. I decided not to interfere and hugged him tightly.

"She left me Jane.. She left me." He whined helplessly." I loved her so much".

"Shh... Its going to be alright. Don't cry." I gently rubbed his back as he sobbed helplessly on my shoulder. Who says boys don't cry.. They also have a heart. 

We pulled away moments later. I saw a girl in the picture in his hands. I instantly understood that who she was.

"Well, you shouldn't cry over her. She is the one who made a mistake by leaving you not you...." I stood up trying to console him.

"She was" he whispered.

I was taken aback. Very well done Jane! Now he's even more emotional.

"I'm sorry", I muttered. " You know sharing never hurts. You can always share your sorrows with me" I smiled .

He half smiled at my remark.

"Come on now, let's eat.. I'm starvingggg" I said trying to deviate his attention. After we had lunch... I mean I had lunch- Harry didn't have a bite- it was time for the exercise. I was nervous.

I have to do it. I have to see if his limbs respond to shock or he'll be stuck in that wheelchair for the rest of his life. And I don't want that. This step can even get me out of my job but shock therapy is something, right?

I took a deep breath and moved slowly towards Harry. He was shocked and amused at the same time because of my way of walking and my potentially trembling hands. I almost dropped it to the ground.

I have it behind my back and continued moving towards him. He had a bag of chips in his hand and was watching a comedy movie on TV not looking at me.

"You gotta watch this with me. Its damn funny." He almost fell off his chair watching this. I didn't pay attention to what ever said after that. My face was sweaty. I never thought it would be that difficult. Jesus, I need your help. I took a deep sigh....

Harry's POV

"So its a movie about three guys celebrating the twenty first birthday of their friend Jeff Chang." I rambled  while digging into my chips.  "And you know they...", I stopped. I noticed that her face was pale and she was sweating a lot. Her hands were at the back as she stepped forward.

" Jane ? You alright?", I inquired worriedly.

"Forgive me" she whispered.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"I'm doing this for your own good. You are a really good person and I'd never want to see you in this condition" she was constantly rambling without listening to me. I saw a tear escape her eye.

"What are you talking about? Are you okay? Jane tell me what happened. You were fine moments ago." I said.

"I'm sorry",  she whispered and took out the meat knife.

"" Aah""....
