It's You...

Chapter 20.

Brendon comes out of the ward and glances at Angela and Christian.

"Jen wants to see y'all," he tells them.

They both go in together.

"You gave us all a heart attack," Christian says, trying to create a better atmosphere around.

Jennifer scoffs. Angela goes and sits besides her on the bed and Christian takes a seat on the chair.

"Brendon said that you were sick last night. Why didn't you called me?" Says Angela.

"I didn't wanted to disturb y'all and then he would curse me for ruining his date with you," Jennifer smirks at Christian and he narrows his eyes and glares at her. Angela chuckles. "How was your date, by the way? Is there something I should know?" Mutters Jennifer. Angela and Christian, they both understand, what Jennifer wants to know.

Christian grabs Angela's hand and says, "meet my girlfriend, Angela Woods." Angela grins.

"Hmm.....this makes sense now, why she didn't returned last night," Jennifer grins. Christian and Angela chuckles.

Jennifer feels better talking to them. And another thing is that, Brendon has awaken a hope in her and a reason to get well soon. "Angela, will you inform at my work about all this?" She asks.

"Yes, I will. I'll tell them, you'll get back when you're all well."

This time Jennifer doesn't flinch but instead she says, "yes, after I get well." Angela and Christian finds themselves relieved by Jennifer's response.

"Your parents will be here by tomorrow or day after that," Christian tells.

Jennifer hums and Christian gets up from his place and kisses her forehead. He moves his hand over her head and says, "you'll be fine. Okay? We all are here for you."

"Yeah. If you need anything, let me know. I'll get it for you. I'll be around here all the time. Alright?" Says Angela. Jennifer smiles and nods to both of them. "Take some rest now," Christian tells and they both walk out of the ward.

............

I fill and sign on all the important paperwork needed for Jen's stay at the hospital. A consent form for her treatment, some advance directive document. I sign it all and hand it over to the nurse, right then, Christian and Angela comes out of the ward. I forgot about Jen's parents coming here. I should know when they are arriving.

"You called Jen's parents. When are they coming?" I ask Christian

"Tomorrow. I booked their tickets. Their flight is at 11 tonight."

"Okay." I pause and then continue, "are y'all staying or leaving now?"

"No......I want to stay here for a while," says Angela and looks at Christian. And then he says, "yeah, we'll be here for a while."

"Okay, then I'll just go home and come back. I directly came here from the airport. But I'll be back soon," I say.

"Alright. We're here," Christian assures.

I stride out of the building and climb in the backseat of my car. I need a clean change of clothes, I'm wearing the same thing since yesterday. While I'm on my way, I take out my phone, I haven't checked anything on my phone since morning. There it is, missed calls from mom, dad, Brian. Most of them are from mom, so I call her out of everyone else. She answers the call quickly. It's strange she doesn't do that more often.

"Brendon! What is going on? You just left last night. We were so worried dear. Brian told us about Jennifer. What happened to her? Is she fine?"

"No mom," I sigh. "She's......she's in the hospital."
