One Another Chance to Love Jane

Jane Dark clouds veil the sky, rendering everything dark and depressing, the same as the incident that happened today. As clouds in the sky, pain veils my heart, making me feel the same, gloomy from the inside out. The sudden change of events made once pleasant days unpleasant. My wedding turned out to be the reason for the death of my family. The thought of not seeing my family, or my loved ones ever again, shatters me from the inside, but my eyes remain dry, with not a drop of tears in them. My family has to pay for the sins of someone else. I don’t even know whom I should blame, the driver, who was drunk driving on the wrong side of the road, or I who invited them to attend the wedding if only I hadn’t asked them. The accident never occurred. It was my fault. It’s me who has taken four lives and killed them. The drunk driver was just a host of my sins. It’s for me that Liam, my little brother who was only a teenager, has to die so early. For me, my parents have to die. Jared,

Brandon The life of a doctor and a father of a five-year-old have ups and downs of their own. But the last few days were the hardest, since we are moving to a new neighborhood, a new house. There is so much work to do that I lose count and maybe sleep. I guess that’s why my head is hurting badly now and then. But, I hope this is the last time we have ever moved. Marlene is growing fast, even as a single father. I want to provide for her home, a family, and the love and care she deserves that I have never had in my life. “Daddy, can I have candy?” I looked down, staring at the tiny beings beside me. We are both shopping for our new house, and Marlene is an excellent company for that. I also have to design a room for her. Marlene is very tomboyish. She doesn’t like dolls or princesses, except her likes are cars and legos. Everything I would have wanted if I was a child, and in many ways, Marlene is like me. “First, let’s buy some clothes for you. Then we can go for ice cream. You lik

Brandon I sighed as I packed my things. The patient took longer than I accepted. Jane must be waiting for me.I quickly made my way to my office only to see Jane with her eyes closed, lying comfortably on my chair. I was not surprised to see her fast asleep, with her delivery date coming close and no one by her side looking for her, taking care of her. It’s already very tough for a woman to give birth to a life, but in Jane’s case, things are intense.She has to do everything on her own with no one around her, to care for her. I do my best to help her, but Jane is such an independent woman. She never asks for anyone’s help, even when needed, and that’s what worries me the most. Even more when she is not around me, like times when I’m at work or when she is alone at her home, mostly at night, and I don’t know why, but around Jane; I feel so protective like she is someone too precious to me, but the thing is, I can’t even tell Jane about how I feel about her. Jane has already faced so m

Jane The night of Liam’s birth was the second worst nightmare of my life. I don’t know, but if anything bad happened that day, I would have been alive by now. He was the only family left for me. When Brandon told me he had to do a C-section to save Liam, I considered myself so helpless and distressed, like I couldn’t even do anything to protect my child. I felt worthless as a mother, as the memories of the accident shook my mind; the accident that caused the death of all my family members and Jared. Taking them very far away from me, so far that there is no return. But thankfully nothing bad happened that day. It was a hard delivery, with the umbilical cord being wrapped around Liam’s neck. It was very hard for anyone to save Liam, but with Brandon’s fast decision and precise moment, he could save Liam. The birth of a baby is something that no woman can forget, but for me, it was bittersweet. I was happy yet sad, sad about being all alone in the world, sad that my baby would have no

Jane Brandon spent the entire day sleeping. At lunchtime, I went to ask him for lunch, but he was fast asleep, so I left him alone, not disturbing his sleep. It was almost dinnertime, and I was preparing some food when I heard a knock on the front door. I opened the door, coming face to face with Brandon standing in the doorway. His eyes focused down on the ground as he brushed his hand over his hair. “Jane,” I moved aside from the door, giving him the space to enter the house."Come in." Liam and Marlene are both in the living room watching Frozen. But seeing Brandon enter the house, Marlene jumps from her seat beside Liam, racing towards her daddy, and landing directly in his arms. “Daddy,” “Are you alright, now daddy?” Marlene asked Brandon. Brandon appeared puzzled by her question. “What do you mean?” “Jane said..., you’re sick, and that’s why you are resting in the house. We should not disturb you,” she said, burrowing herself in his embrace. Brandon directed his eyes at
