LOVE BETWEEN US

Chapter 86

Darkness.

It is all I see around me. Pitch black darkness with nothing to see.

That is untill a bright light suddenly shines my way. I begun to walk towards it wondering what it was.

Suddenly I was under water struggling to breathe. After trying for a few moment I stopped and gave into death.

But was suddenly I was pulled out of the water,I gasp to air. Breathing heavily.

My vision blurs as I tried to open my eyes,I see blur visions of people standing over me wearing nose masks.

The light was too bright for my vision as I tried to adjust to it.

I hear loud beeping sounds and it was getting irritating.  I tried to use my hands to block the light but I couldn't move it. It felt heavy, what is wrong with me?

A few seconds later the light went deem and I groan fully opening my eyes.

I make out the blurry people,three doctors and five nurses.

"Miss Jones can you hear me? If you can groan again?"one doctor says and I do it.

"Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?"he asks again and I shake my head.

There was something in my mouth, like a breathing tube. The nurse notices me trying to take it out and she immediately reaches over me and carefully takes it out.

"W ...wat..water" I struggle to say due to my dry throat. It hurts over there,

Another nurse brings me a cup of warm water and I instantly gulped everything.

"Can you speak Miss Jones?" The female doctor amongst them asks.

"Y...yes. Why am I here?"I asked only remembering going back home to take a shower.

"You tried to take your life but luckily your family arrived in time to save you"the doctor explains.

I scoff at the what he said. Now they care about me?.

"We are going to need to ask you some questions and run some tests on you"he says again and I nod in approval.

.

The doctors moved me to a different care unit. They say I was free from danger and also I wouldn't be needing intensive care.

They have taken all the other tubes connected to my body away and left only the drip.

I feel so weak and my entire body hurts. The doctor says it will go away since they have injected some pain killers into my drip.

"Ma'am your family are here to see you. Actually they haven't left since you were in coma. Do you want to see them?"the nurse asks scribbling something on her clip board.

"No. I just want to see one person. Please ask of Erica for me. I only want to see Erica"I tell her and she nods and leaves without any questions.

I looked around my surroundings,I really don't like hospitals, everything here is so plain and dull,a perfect reflection of my life.

A few minutes later the door burst open to reveal Erica.

She immediately runs to my side and pulls me into a hug. A tight one which makes me whimper in pain.

"Sorry,I am so sorry"she frantically apologizes and I smile.

"It is fine Erica. I am just sore all over"I explain to her.

She takes my bandaged wrists into her hands and a wave of fresh tears flows down her cheeks.

"Don't ever do that again,do you understand me? Don't ever think of trying to leave me okay? You haven't even met your godchild yet and you want to leave. Please don't do that again" she cries.

I sigh and rub her hands soothingly, pregnancy hormones.

"I promise I won't do that again. I am sorry for stressing you out and being a burden"I say softly.

"You are not burden. You will never be a burden. Do listen to your family,they are all a bunch of hypocrites Don't ever say that again."she says sternly.

"I guess I am not as strong as I thought I was huh" I grumble at the mention of my family.

"Jane Anne Jones. You are the strongest girl I have met in my life. Even stronger than my mom,you have been through alot but you never gave up. Any person in your position would have been dead by now. You survived divorce and humiliation but you still never gave up. You are strong and even stronger now"she says and tears gathered in my eye,

I love this girl so much. She knows the right to say.

" They said they'll be admitting me into a mental institution. A rehabilitation center. Well Doctor Ballard's institution. I told them I need to think about it first" I tell her.

"That is good idea. But will you feel comfortable after everything that transpired between you two."she asks

"Well I guess so. He wouldn't be my doctor so no drama. I opted for a female Incase I go" I tell her.

"Okay then. I wouldn't want to pressure you,I'll support any decision you take. You know what is best for your health and I know you'll make the best decision" she says rubbing my arms.

I wipe my tears away, thankful for having a great friend like her.

"Your parents are here. They want to see you, they've been here along with your brother and Grayson this entire time. Do you want to see them. They can't wait to see you,they have been anxious since they had you are awake."she smiles.

"No I don't want to see them. I am not ready to see them. They hurt me Erica,they abandoned me when I needed them the most. Don't get me started on their hurtful words, especially Jayden's. He hurt me the most. He was my brother,my crime buddy,I was with him through his dark days but he betrayed me and left me alone in my dark days and I can't forgive him" I sigh and continue.

"As for my parents,I am just embarrassed to see them. I have brought nothing but pain and shame to them. I think it is time to stop don't you think. I am ashamed of myself "I say in a small weak voice.

"I can't speak on their behalf because what they did was horrible but I need you to know your parents love you and they are not ashamed of you. I'll give you some time to think about it. Reconsider your decision,it is best to get a closure with them and move on"she softly tells me and I nod.

Closure?

Yes I need a closure before going to rehab. Especially with Grayson.

I need to get my heart straight and tell him everything I feel for him.

"So how is the baby?"I asked changing the topic.

"The baby is fine, just making momma have sleepless night and cranky "she chuckles and I do same.

I needed to relax.
