'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 48

After I spoke to the nurse about Amanda's condition, the cops approached me and asked me questions about what I can remember about the dude in the black hoodie. I gave them very few details and they told me they are gonna open up the investigation. I look over at Amanda who is sleeping peacefully but looks so hurt. There is a tube in her mouth, down her throat to help her breathe. I'm hoping so much she wakes up soon. Missing her is killing me, I miss her voice, I miss her smile, I miss her mean comments to me, I miss her attitude,
I miss her eyes and most importantly I miss how she cares about me even though I do everything I can to push her away so she will hate me.

I lean over to kiss her on the forehead "Please come back to me" I mumble against her forehead and kiss it again. I get up and leave her room so I can call Kristy, I use her phone and kind Kristy's contact information, I call her up and she answers after three rings "I can't believe you are calling me, I don't want to hear from you Amanda" I'm confused "It's Marshall" I announce "For fuck sake, what do you want Marshall? Haven't you done enough damage already" She sounds so angry "Amanda got into an accident and now she is laid up in the hospital" I tell her "What? Wh-what the hell happened?" She yells, I can hear the crack in her voice "She was pushed down the steps by this dude in a black hoodie and now she is in a medically induced coma" I answer her question

"I need you to think back for a moment, did you see his face?" She asks me "I only saw his mouth and jaw area, why?" I ask her "Does he have a jowl, heavy lower lips, a rectangular sharp looking jaw?" She ask me and I think back to when he smirked at me "Yeah I remember" I tell her "Oh god, oh god" I hear the panic in her voice "What's wrong?" I ask her stressed out over this situation "Don't you get it? It's Jared" She yells "How the fuck did he find her?" Kristy asks me "The fuck am I supposed to know?" I yell back "Wait" I think back to when Amanda told me about Jefferson Miller, fuck "You know something, don't you?" Kristy asks me sounding pissed "Almost a month ago, Amanda told me about Jefferson Miller, she said that Jefferson was Jared's Parole officer" I explain to her "Why did she tell you this all of a sudden?" She asks me "Because I helped Aubrey hire a lawyer to help find out who was responsible for Ian's death, I thought I had hired her the best lawyer I know" She hates me more now "Amanda told me Jefferson had met her in person at Aubrey's house when they were talking about this teenager who crashed into Ian" I fucked up

"This was your fault" She screams at me "Kristy, I swear to god I didn't know who Jefferson Miller was, he just told me he was a Parole officer back in the late '80s and he helped this inmate be released" I feel like shit, I can't believe I done this "Didn't that give you some clue?" She yells "I can't believe this, you better pray Amanda pulls through that fucking coma because if she doesn't wake up, you'll be joining her' She hangs up the phone "Fuck" I throw my phone against the wall, I fucked up, I fucking fucked up. I punch the wall hard and the nurse runs over to me "What's going on?" She asks me sounding startled "I fucked up that's what's going on" I yell "Sir, you need to calm down" She says in a soft tone "I can't calm the fuck down, Amanda, this woman" I point at her through the window "Is in a coma because of me, she lost her baby because of me" I punch the wall again "Security" The nurse calls security.

Two armed security walks over to me and cuffs me to my chair, I see the nurse checking on her and she walks back to me "Her vitals are stabled, she's gonna be okay" I look up at the nurse and she gives me a sweet smile "When is she gonna wake up?" I ask her "In a couple of hours or a couple of days" She tells me and gets beeped "I have to go, a patient of mine is having a heart attack in the ICU" We are in the coma ward, and the guards uncuff me "Control your temper Slim" One of the security guards glares at me and I glare at him back. I walk over to the phone mounted on the wall and call up Deshaun "Whose this?" Deshaun asks "It's Marshall" I sigh "Why you calling with no caller ID?" He asks chuckling "I broke my phone" Deshaun laughs "Your temper, doodie, wanna go to Dawsons Nightclub and get fucking wasted?" He asks me "I can't I'm in the hospital" I tell him "What happened? Are you okay?" Deshaun asks me shocked and concerned "I'm fine, Amanda is laid up in the fucking hospital" I yell. I feel an overwhelming guilt wash over me, she is in the hospital because of me.
