Maybe laughing and hitting my head on the pillow is not the way to prove my sanity but this guy is unbelievable, I looked up at him and just kept laughing, no matter where I go, he'll always find me and for what? To remind me how filthy and dirty I am for trapping him into whatever this is, the doctor looked up at me I kinda got a hold of myself and stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry but him? My husband? Not a chance".
"I understand that...".
"Why does my throat hurt so much?".
"We had to insert a pipe down your throat to suck the poison out ".
"Right, can I go home now? Alone, since I don't have a husband".
"It's okay, Hazel, there's someone here to talk to you first, if that's okay?".
I just want to go home."Sure".
Another doctor got in this time an older guy wearing glasses with a bloated stomach and a warm smile walked up to us and he somehow reminds me of one of father's many psychiatrists. He's probably a psychiatrist too. They do think I'm crazy after all. It probably runs in the family right?.
"Hazel, I'm doctor Sosibo, I'm a psychiatrist, I need to ask you a few questions about what happened".
"Yes, let's talk about what happened and please don't leave out how worried my loving husband is or even why he's here".
"You tried to kill yourself and our baby, Hazel! That's what happened!".
"First of all, this is my baby, not ours, I tried to trap you with her remember? And secondly, I'd never try to harm her, ever, in any way, I can't say the same about you and you don't get to talk to me Jace, you seriously don't".
"Mr Johnson please keep quiet or leave".Doctor Sosibo said looking up at Jace who folded his arms and sat back, he then moved his eyes back to me."Then how do you explain the amount of tablets in your system? Your husband found you passed out Hazel".
There's no stopping them from calling Jace my husband, is there?.
"I just wanted to end the pain, not our lives, I just thought if I took more pills then I'd stop feeling pain and can you stop calling him my husband?".
They both just looked at me like I'm crazy or something, I don't really care what Jace thinks about me, I do however care what the man in the white coat thinks. When I was still not awake, I did hear them say it might have more to do with psychological illness than physical and I laughed when Jace called himself my husband.
"How is my baby?".
"The baby is okay, if your husband hadn't brought you in the time he did...".
"Great, can I go home now?".
"Hazel, I'm sorry but I can't let you go just yet, what you tried to do is a call for help and as a doctor I can't let you go, we need to evaluate you, probably put you under suicide watch".
"Suicide watch? You still think I tried to take our lives?".
"I'm sorry but yes, you were found with...".
"A great amount of pills in my system".
"Yes, I need to ask you a couple of questions".I just nod."Do you mind telling me how you feel".
There's no proving my sanity with them, is there? They already think I'm a crazy, suicidal pregnant woman who got into a fight with her husband pushing her over the edge to just end it all. So nothing I say matters really, it makes no difference.
"I feel like I wanna go home".
"Do you live with Mr Johnson?".
"No. I live alone".
He wrote down making me feel more crazy."How long have you been living alone?".
"Two weeks and a day today, it is a Friday right?".
"Yes, you've been unconscious for a day. You living alone means no one knows what you're doing when doing it, no one is watching you".I just stared back at him, that was a statement."We'll keep you under observation for the night then decide tomorrow morning, get some rest for now".
I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, I have no idea where I get the attitude from but it suits me, these people don't believe me, why would I try to hurt my baby? After 6 weeks of pregnancy? All of a sudden I what? Feel too overwhelmed and can't deal? I slept on my side my back facing both Jace and the doctor.
"Would you let her go if I keep an eye on her?".Jace asked.
Now that is not happening, I would rather spend my entire life in here with all these strangers who think I'm crazy and I tried to kill my baby than Jace. I sat up straight watching them both and Doctor Sosibo actually smiled. He smiled making me shake my head hard disagreeing, they all can not be serious right now.
Even if I wasn't trying to kill myself then which I wasn't, this time I will do it on purpose, after I kill him.
"That's a good idea, I will bring the consent forms for both of you to sign, in the moment I'll leave you two to talk".
Jace smiled shaking doctor Sosibo's hand, he can pull anything of, he has the power and the money, of course people would believe him over me, even though I'm the one with a baby growing inside me. Jace is heartless. He did understood that there would be no talking though, there's nothing to talk about, so he kept quiet and we waited for doctor Sosibo in complete silence, which meant no one was gonna die tonight.
The night was longer than usual, Jace slept on the chair watching me, when Sosibo said I'd be observed overnight I thought by him or his colleagues or even cameras definitely not Jace. He said nothing throughout the night and I woke up every time, sleeping in a hospital bed is not comfortable, the smell of bleach on the floors is making me sick.
"If you see any signs of ...".
"I'll bring her back here, thank you so much Doctor Sosibo".
And they shook hands again, making me wish they'd both just disappear. Jace pushed me in a wheelchair to the front door, when it opened he moved to stand before me stretching out his hand. Play nice, Doctor Sosibo is probably watching, I gave him my hand and yeah there's no way I was walking to the car my legs feel kinda numb.
I tried taking another step, I almost fell, Jace held me a bit tighter around my waist holding my forearm with his other hand. Why is he even here? He closed the door then ran to the drive side getting in and we drove off, I couldn't even keep my eyes open for a minute, the minute the car drove off the parking, I fell asleep.
Jace watched her sleeping, he leant in and pulled the seatbelt strapping her in, her stomach pushing the seatbelt back. He smiled brushing her stomach for the hundred time since his arrival. He likes her stomach, he pulled up in front of the house, he ran to the door unlocking it he then pushed the door leaving it opened, he ran back to the car, unlocking the seatbelt, she fell on his arms and he lifted her up.
She is heavy than the last time, right he was drunk and he had all the sex power, he tucked her in the downstairs guest bed, if she decides to go with the upstairs bedroom then she'll move when she's awake, there's no way he's carrying her all the way upstairs, Jace's phone rang. He pressed it against his chest, she twitched once and went back to sleeping. He pulled the door halfway closed.
"I'm not coming in today, I'm taking the weekend off, sort it all out. I trust you, see you on Monday and don't call me".
He went back out, closing the door behind him, he wants to lock it but it feels wrong and if the neighbors are watching they'll think he kidnapped her. He closed the passenger door, getting in parking the car in the garage. He did lock all the doors once he was inside, he then cleared out the papers on the tables and made himself some tea.
This is going to be a long weekend.
