illicit Love

Chapter Two

Miranda's POV

I can't believe all this is happening . It seems like every time things start to get better , everything gets knocked back into hell ! I have no one anymore . Symire is in the hospital , Jermaine doesn't even remember me , && I can't go to sister or pastor because they'll just try an take control it might kill someone .

This is so stressful && I can't take it anymore !!

I left the hospital as soon as I realized jermaine lost his memory . I went to the nearest bridge around .

The first bridge I came across was this blueish color && it had an lake at the bottom .

I parked the call at the end of the lake && got out .

I walked over to the middle of the bridge && sat down .

I looked up at the sky with tears in my eyes .

" God , why me ? " I asked .

" What did I do to deserve all of this ? " I said .

" I've been nothing but good my entire life then I make one little mistake && this is how you repay me ? "

I stood on the edge of the bridge .

" I'm just tired . I'm tired of fighting , I'm tired of getting my hopes up && having them knocked down . "

" Well they don't have to be knocked down anymore ! "

Who said that ?

I turned around && saw Jermaine standing behind me .

" Jermaine ??!? What are you doing here ?? How did you know I was here ??!? Why aren't you in the hospital ???? " I stopped for a minute . " Wait a minute ... You remember me?? "

" Of course I remember you , I never forgot you Miranda "

" But ... But the doctors said - "

" I faked it " He said before I could finish my sentence .

" What do you mean you faked it ?? " I asked .

He sighed " promise you won't be mad at me ? "

I just stared at him .

" Miranda , promise me ! " He shouted .

" Fine " I sighed " I promise " .

" After the accident , I did lose my memory . But I only lost it for about an hour . By the time I saw you at the hospital , I had already gotten my memory back . "

I looked at him shocked .

" So why would you pretend that you didn't know me ???!? Did you not know how scared I was !??? I nearly killed myself ! " I screamed .

" I know , but Miranda don't you get it , if I don't remember anything then they'll have to let me out of jail ! If I keep pretending like I don't anything , I'll be free to go && then I'll be able to take you && Symire && move far away .. It all works out ! "

I thought about it for a minute . It does seem like a pretty good idea .

" It sounds like a good idea Jermaine but don't you get it , whenever we get our hopes up , something bad is bound to happen ! It's gonna seem like it'll work but then something will get in the way && we'll get introuble "

He walked closer to me .

" I know it seems that way , but for once in your life , trust me . "

I sighed . " Okay fine "

I we got back in the car && started to drive back to the hospital .

"Jermaine , how did you even know I was out here ? " I asked .

" Miranda , it's me . I know you so well "

I smiled a bit , it's so cute how he knows me that much .

When we pulled up at the hospital, they're were a lot of cops there .

Oh god I thought to myself .

I walked Jermaine into the hospital .

" Thank god ! We were worried sick about you ! " One of the nurses said as she ran over to him .

Her && some other nurses grabbed him && put him into a wheel chair .

I watched as they took him back to his hospital room .

As I was watching , one of the police officers walked over to me .

" You're a very blessed girl " He said .

"Excused me ? "

" Since Mr. Cole lost his memory , we have to drop charges . "

I started cheesing from ear to ear !

" Seriously !?!?? " I shouted .

" Yeah , if I were you , I would go sign him out the hospital , get the baby , && get the hell outta here ! "

" I will ! "

I ran to the counter && signed the release papers as fast as I could .

10 minutes later , I saw Jermaine Come limping out he hospital room , I ran over to him .

" You were right ! Were free ! We finally can leave "

I went over to where Symire was to get her when I noticed a strange lady in the room .

I walked into the room && grabbed Symire not even minding the lady .

" Where do you think you're taking her ? " The strange lady said .

I looked at her like she was crazy . " Home , where else ? " I said as I continued to grab Symire .

" I'm sorry , but you're not taking her anywhere ! " Said the lady .

" Ummm , who the hell are you ?? " I shouted .

She walked closer to me && Symire .

" I'm with child services , && your home is too dangerous for me to allow you to take the baby "

I started to get heated .

" What the hell do you mean my home is dangerous?!? " I shouted .

" I mean , you nearly killed her while running from the police && her father is accused of rape && murder . That's not a safe environment for a baby "

" Oh bullshit ! Those charges were dropped ! "

" The charges may have been dropped sweetie , but that doesn't change the facts . Maybe we can sort this out another day but today , the baby comes with me "

She grabbed baby Symire && walked out the door .

I KNEW IT ! This always happens ! Every time it seems like something good is happening , it always get knocked down by something bad !

This is worst than bad , I'm losing my child here ! I can't lose her , I just got her ! What am I going to do ? How will I get her back !??!
