Soul Ties (Discontinued)

Jason POV

I could not have imagined that in 24 hours so many things would have happened. My life completely changed forever in an instant. I felt as if I was on an emotional rollercoaster and I wanted to get off. I have yet to get a second of sleep in 48 hours but I was too worried to even feel sleepy. The events leading up to this point playing in my head. everything was just coming at me so fast I could not even get a second to catch my breath.

When I left Amanda's apartment in the early hours of this morning I had all intentions of going to bed but then I saw a text message from the detective about the background check. He basically told me to go talk to Pops and that really took me by surprise. I was beyond confused as I walked briskly towards the house with all intentions of doing just as he had suggested. As I walked into the house I saw my grandfather in the living room in his favorite recliner as if he was waiting on me. I could not have prepared my self for what came next.
The revelation that followed had my head spinning.

Everything he had told Amanda in the office earlier was basically told to me a few hours before. And it got worst or better depending on where you stand in all of it. I told him that it was imperative that he tell her who he truly was if what he hoped to achieve had any chance of success. He had expressed that he had intended to for a while now but kept putting it of. He and I came to an agreement not to put it off another day.
The revelation about him and who he was in a different life and about my parents death had me second guessing everything I thought I knew. I was angry at first but once he explained the situation in it's entirety I completely understood why he did what he did and continued to do it. Time was running out and we had to set things straight.
When I saw her walk into the office in that beautiful yellow sundress smelling like toasted coconut and rain breeze, I felt dizzy with emotions I could not categorize. As  I looked at her standing there glowing in the morning sun that ushered her through the door I let my eyes feast on her beauty.
My heart did backflips and it took every bit of self control not to have walked over to her and kissed her senseless there and then however I knew she would not have liked that. Amanda was very shy and reserved, and based on what had happened to her she was very cautious and that I understood and respected. I had to gain her trust and hopefully her love. Ultimately that was the Goal.

I saw the shock on her face when Pops had called her real name. I saw the pain etched deep in her face when he called her parents name. I felt her pain and rage echoing in every word when she spoke of her father's death and her running away from her family. I wanted to pull her in to my arms and tell her it was gonna be ok. As long as I was alive she was gonna be good, I was gonna protect her with my life. 

That was a Promise!

But right now she had to get through this. I would hold her hand and wipe her tears and provide comfort as long as she needed me to.

As she called my name and reached for me I saw her lose consciousness and my heart all but stopped in that moment. I was just in time to catch her before she could topple to the floor. As I picked her up in my arms cradling her body next to mine I begged God to let her be ok. This woman I had just met but have come to realize just how much our lives had been connected and intertwined before we were even born. She had to be ok. Please God let her be ok,I chanted in my head as I walked towards my grandfather's house with her in my arms.

"Call the doctor" I yelled as the helper swing the door open allowing me to enter.

"He is on his way"she said walking behind as I climbed the stairs two at a time.
As I placed her in my bed I started to panic why isn't she waking!  She was sweating but her skin felt cold as I placed my hand on her cheeks.

My phone was ringing. I answered placing it on speaker

"Jason, Amanda is diabetic" my grandfather practically shouted. "The doctor is on his way don't leave her side if she stops breathing start CPR" the panic evident in his voice.

I ended the call without saying a word. I could not respond even if I wanted to. Panic had lodged a lump in my throat. I felt sick to my stomach.

"Jah a long time mi nuh link yuh but mi need yuh help. Mi nah ask yuh fi much God just mek she pull through this fada,Mi know mi nuh deserve it but I am certain she does. Hear my cry Jah!" I said out loud

As I stood there looking down at her limp body on the bed, the only sign of life was the rise and fall of her chest.
I started to pray the same prayer over and over again as I got to my knees beside the bed holding on to her hand like my life depended on it. I had not prayed in years but I was desperate.
