"Beep...beep...beep..." The monitor beeps indicating Jordan's heart rate and blood pressure.

"Oh God..no." His mother cries as she sees her son wounded through the hospital room window.

Just then the doctor walks out.

"You must be his parents. He was brought here unconscious and in this state, it's a miracle that he's still okay." The doctor says.

"He suffered a few cuts to his face as well as a heavy hit to the head. He's out of danger for now. Although he may have slight problems mentally long term, he should be able to recover in a few weeks." The doctor adds, sounding slightly dejected.

"How could this happen?" His mother screams throwing herself in the arms of her husband.

"Calm down honey. Everything will be alright." He says, comforting his wife.

"Doctor, can I see you in private please?" He asks the doctor.

"Of course." The doctor replies.

"I'll be back honey. I have something to discuss with the doctor." Jordan's dad says as he pays his wife to calm down before walking away with the doctor.

Walking out of the hospital, they both turn to an alley a little distance away from the hospital.

"Doctor.. mentally? What's going on?" Jordan's dad asks calmly.

The doctor takes a cigarette from inside his coat, lights it and takes a quick drag before speaking.

"I'm afraid he may have slight amnesia or something even worse. Considering the blow he took to his head. It seems to be one of those old heavy drinking glasses you and I used back in the day.. it'd really be a miracle if nothing happened." The doctor replies in a low voice.

"Take good care of him before and after he wakes up. I really can't help but worry when all this will end." The doctor says giving Jordan's father a deep meaningful look before walking away.

"I really can't help but worry too." Jordan's father says as he walks back to the hospital.

*Davina's place*
*The Living room*

"Any news from him?" His wife asks him.

"Well.. yes. He was rushed to the hospital. He's in a pretty bad state." He says with a sad expression.

"Oh God.." she says covering her mouth, sitting down and thinking to herself. She worries about her daughter and this young man named Jordan.

"I doubt she'd still let him off lightly. She must have eyes watching him over there." He says before comforting his wife.

"Click" the living room door shuts as Davina walks in closing the door behind her gently.

"Mom..dad.. what's going on?" She asks noticing her parents expressions.

They both look at themselves before looking at their daughter.

"Come.. come sit my child." Davina's mother says trying to sound cheerful.

"Did something happen mom?" She sits feeling uneasy, staring at her parents.

"Well go to the city hospital later." Davina's dad says, signaling his wife to let him take over.

"Why dad? Are you hurt? Tell me what's going on?" Davina asks worriedly, looking at her parents not knowing what's going on.

"Jordan was admitted in the hospital earlier today. He's in a very bad condition. So I think we should go see him." Her dad says slowly.

"Boom!" Like a bombshell dropped in Davina's mind. She starts crying.

"Why? What happened to him? Is he okay?" She asks, sobbing loudly.

"He's out of danger for now. Let's prepare to go see him." Her dad says as he comforts his daughter before going upstairs.

Mother and daughter remain, comforting themselves they later prepare to visit Jordan at the hospital.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Upon arriving at the hospital, Davina leaves the car first rushing to find Jordan's ward. Providing the necessary identification, the receptionist gives her directions.

Taking deep breaths, Davina slowly opens the door walking in gently, only to see a girl in her twenties, with fair skin wearing slightly revealing clothes sitting beside Jordan's bed.

"What are you doing?" Davina asks angrily, walking up to the girl, pushing her away.

Caught of guard the girl stumbles but luckily manages to balance herself, standing up straight glaring at Davina.

"Who are you?" The girl asks Davina, glaring at her with anger.

"I should be asking you that! He's my boyfriend. What gives you the rights to touch him?!" Davina retorts angrily.

"Boyfriend?" The girl scoffs.

Looking at Davina with an amused expression she says slowly with a smirk "My father left me in his care.. or rather I am his. So figure that out."

"You.. you slut.. Who do you think you are?" Davina lashes out in annoyance.

Just then a doctor walks in "This is a hospital, keep your voices down or leave immediately." The doctor says irritably.

Taking another look at the ladies he recognizes the one dressed revealingly  and asks "Nurse Debby? what's going on? Don't you know this is the patients ward?"

"I'm sorry doc, it's just this lady. She came here shouting at me to stay away.. from my boyfriend." She says with heavy emphasis on her last three words, giving Davina a provocative glance.

"Your boyfriend?!" Davina flares up again.
