     Ocean finally tells her parents, her best friend, and her brother about the breakup, which gets her dad and her brother well over heated, leading to threats and screaming. Luckily her mother is there to put water in the fire and they decide the best thing to do is to talk to James' parents, and now, on to chapter 6..
—————————————————————————————————————————————————

James Smith POV

I hear voices coming from the bottom of the stairs so I decide to go investigate. When I get to the hall I see my father having a heated conversation with someone over the phone. "What the hell do you mean my son is a scumbag ? What gives you the right to talk about my child that way ?" He says. Instantly I knew exactly who he was talking to. Ocean must have told her family about me cheating because if I know her family at all, they will call someone to complain before they ever address a situation face to face. I see my mom walking up to my dad so I scoot backwards, but to my luck I bump into the hall table, falling over the rail and onto the floor below the stairs.

Jemerson: OH MY GOD SON WHAT THE HELL ! JANIE CALL AN AMBULANCE !!

......At The Hospital......

Doctor: Hello Smith family. I just want to talk to you guys a little about James' condition. So he fell pretty far up you said from the top of the stairs usually that'll be about ten to twenty feet depending on the size of the house. When he fell he hit his head first which forced him into a coma. Now I don't know when or if he'll wake up but in the likely hood he does, we like to bring coma patients back to the hospital for further testing to make sure no permanent damage is done. We're going to send him to a recovery center or you can take him home and a nurse will be provided for him, which option sounds more appealing ?
Janie: He can come home. I can't believe my baby is in a coma. What made him fall off the railing. Do you think he did it on purpose ? Do you think he heard us talking ? I just can not believe this. My poor baby I don't know what I will do if I lose him. He's my only child.
Jemerson: I know sweetie, all we can do now is pray. To think he has a baby on the way and we were just talking to the Odega's. I wonder where they are.

It was as if the universe heard the Smith's talking because not a minute later, in came Ocean, Austin, Alaina, and Cameron Odega to show their condolences.

Ocean: So what happened ?
Janie: They say he's in a coma and they don't know when or if he'll wake up.
Jemerson: He fell off the stairs right when I was on the phone with Austin. I wonder what provoked him.
Ocean: Provoked him ?! He may have been a piece of shit but he wasn't suicidal. It was definitely an accident.
Alaina: OCEAN ! This is not the time nor place.
Ocean: I'm sorry mom, I just hate every part of this. One minute we're madly in love, the next not speaking, one minute he's in perfect health, the next he's falling over a fucking rail like what the hell.
Jemerson: I know Ocean, the whole world is complicated right now, more so for you because you have all of these emotions due to your pregnancy I'm sure you don't know how to feel right now. Happy, sad, disappointed, sorrow. I'm letting you know that even though you may have some kind of hate for my son, can you find it in yourself to overlook that hate for just a moment, because if he dies like this, you're going to feel so shitty knowing that he died in the middle of an argument when all that really should've mattered was the health of mother, father, and baby.
Austin: I agree Jemerson, we all need to focus on what's important right now, and that is praying that our grand child has a father growing up.
Cameron: Yea sis, everything doesn't have to be about a petty beef right now. Let's just all take a moment to pray.
Janie: Dear Heavenly Father, we are standing here today, united as one, to ask that you look after our dear James. We ask that you bring him home to us. We ask that he be healthy upon his return from sudden doom. We ask that our grandchild, niece or nephew, son or daughter, grow up with a father, opposed to without. We ask that you watch over both the Smith family and the Odega family in this time of need and despair, and we ask that you guide us through all of these tough times that seem impossible to overcome. Amen.
Everyone: Amen.

Ocean Odega POV

As I'm leaving the hospital, I can't help but to feel a mix of emotions about the news that I received today. On one hand I couldn't stand James as a person, and I wanted him out of my life forever, but on another hand, he was the father of my unborn child and whether I liked it or not, I still had a great deal of love for him for sticking around through this pregnancy, and always being there for me when I needed him. I decide to go back home and tell June what happened.

June: You don't still love that douche do you ?
Ocean: Of course I still love him June, I just don't like him anymore, but that's beside the point, he's in the hospital and he might not wake up, does that mean anything to you ?
June: No not really, he hurt my best friend more than words can explain, that's enough to make me hate him for life.
Ocean: I absolutely love you for that but right now isn't the time. I don't want my baby growing up without a father, and I especially don't want it to know that his or her dad died because he fell over a railing onto the ground floor, hit his head, went into a coma and died, that's sad as hell. I don't want to be the one to explain that to them because it'll make me sad too. I don't want him to die no matter how I feel at the moment.
June: Okay best friend, I get it, you don't want him to die because of the baby. I get it I really do. Ill pray for him, partially because I love you too much to see you sad, and partially because I want to be the one that kills him.
Ocean: That's fair.

After talking to June for what feels like hours about James and everything going on I decide that I want to take a quick shower and go to sleep. When I get out of the shower I hear my phone buzzing. It's another blocked number so I answer, hoping that Justin would be on the other line so I can ask him questions.

Ocean: Hello ?
Justin: Hello Ocean.
Ocean: Is this Justin ?
Justin: Yes it is, and I've been doing a lot of thinking. I'm going to tell you who I am !
Ocean: Okay..
Justin: You may know my sister. She goes to your school and comes home everyday crying about how the love of her life led her on and now he wont even talk to her, and she says you're the reason why.
Ocean: Oh god, is this...... Is this Aiya's Brother ?!
