illicit Love

Chapter One

Miranda's POV

It's hard to wrap my head around what just happened . I was so mad && everything just happened so fast ! I just saw people watching from the side with tears in their eyes && I saw the police && ambulance running over to jermaine's blown up car && that's when it hit me , both of my baby's just been an a horrible accident && could be dead right now ! I never been so heart broken in my entire life . My heart hurted so bad , I could barley breath . The room started spinning , I felt like I was gonna faint . One of the police officers grabbed me .

" Miranda calm down , everything is gonna be alright . Their both alive but it doesn't seem like they have that much time left . " He said .

" Are you fuckin kidding me ?!?! You really think telling me my new born && my baby dad doesn't have much time left is gonna make me feel better ??!? " I shouted in his face .

He looked down at the grown .

I tried to calm down for a minute .

" Look , I'm sorry I yelled at you I'm just in a tough spot right now && hearing that wasn't really helping "

He looked up at me .

" It's okay , I understand . I was just gonna tell you that even though it looks bad , have a little faith && keep your head up . You never know what's gonna happen "

He's right , just because it looks this way doesn't mean that this has to be the outcome . I just need to keep my head up .

I watched as they put Symire && Jermaine in the ambulance && took them to the hospital . The police officer was kind enough to give me a ride to the hospital .

" So , why exactly were you && your baby dad running from the police ? "

I looked up at him confused . " Are you serious ? Are you like new to this town or something ? EVERYBODY knows about me && jermaine ! This wouldn't be surprising to anyone in this town "

" Sorry , I just moved here about a week ago , I use to live in Pennsylvania && I work at the women's correctional facility down there . But , I was moved up here because the correctional facility was being closed . "

I just keep screwing up with this guy . I'm always saying the wrong things like what is wrong with me ?

" I'm sorry I didn't know , how come they moved you all the way here instead of just moving you into a police department down there ? "

" My boss was my fathers best friend && he knew I'd have better opportunities down here than I did there . That man loves me like I'm his own so he always does what's best for me . "

" I'm sorry , I didn't catch your name " I said .

" My name is Officer Allen "

" Well Officer Allen , does a lot of people in your family do that to you ? "I ask

"Does what " He replies .

" Does what's best for you ? "

" I mean , yeah . " He says .

" But , Do you ever feel like their over doing it ? Like you understand that they love you && that their just trying to protect you but do you ever wish that they would just back off a little && let you make your own mistakes instead of always rescuing you before you make them ? "

" I've been in a lot of situations like that . It really pisses me off sometimes but their family , I understand their motives . They just want what's best for you , their not Tryna ruin your life . " He says .

" I understand that but do you ever just feel like they handle situations their own way instead of consulting with you && seeing how you feel about it ? "

" Yes , it happens sometimes ... Is this the reason why you && your baby dad was running from the cops ? "

We approached the hospital as he asked me that . I really didn't want to answer that question so I just got out the car .

" I really enjoyed the talk but I have to go see about my family . Thanks for the ride Officer Allen . "

" No problem . If you ever need me , call me " He said as he handed me his card .

I grabbed it && ran inside the hospital. First , I ran to the baby section to see about Symire .

When I got there , I ran into the doctor that was treating her .

" How is she ? Is she dead ? What's going on ??? " I asked .

" Yes , she's alive . She's in very critical condition && suffered brain damage . We're going to have to do surgery on her in order for her to survive . I'm sorry "

Normally, a parent would cry while hearing this but not me . I was just relieved that she was okay && I mean kids get surgery all the time right ? Nothing should go wrong .

After visiting Symire , I ran to the side of the hospital that jermaine is on .

" Doctors ! How's he doing ? Is he alive ??? " I shouted .

They turned to me , " Ma'am , come with me "

I followed them into his room .

" He's alive , he suffered some broken ribs && a damaged arm . It seems that when the car exploded , he tried grab Symire to keep her safe but his arm got stuck in the seat . It was nearly ripped off so we have to stitch that up . "

I started to smile .

" So he's alright ? I knew I had nothing to worry about " I said .

" There's something else you should know Miranda " The doctor said .

" What is it ? "

" During the accident , Jermaine hit his head pretty hard . His brain is bruised so he lost some of his memory . "

I can not believe this

" Do you think he remembers me ? " I asked tearing up .

" I have no clue " She said . " Let's find out "

I walked over to him with her

"Jermaine , someone is here to see you . "

" Hi baby , how are you feeling ? " I said .

" I'm feeling good but ... Who are you ?
