Finding Jordyn

Chapter Ten: ..and that's how I got kidnapped.. again.

Jordyn's pov.

I hate hospitals. It's a new fact about me that I just learned about myself. The doctor came out and smiled, "he's out of surgery but he's in a coma." "Can we see him?" Taylor asked and the doctor nodded, "just one person." Taylor stood up but Carter practically bulldozed over her and ran through the double doors.

The next morning I was debating whether or not to text Ofe when I heard the latest Taylor vs. Carter drama starting in the kitchen. "I'm sorry Tay, I shouldn't have gone to see Max. I wasn't thinking. I promise he didn't even know that I was there," I heard Carter apologize. "But I know." Taylor said stiffly. "Look I know that you love him and he's your boyfriend but he's also my best and oldest friend." Carter said and I ended up walking into their conversation, not being able to hold myself back anymore. "If you care about Max so much, why don't you find your deranged boyfriend and lock him up for shooting Max?" Taylor snarked. "Carter, a minute?" I asked, cutting Taylor off. I pulled Carter into the other room and she looked at me strangely and I showed her a text on my phone.

Crash: tell Carter I'm sorry. How's Max?

She stared at me. "What do you want me to do?" I asked her and she searched my eyes for the correct answer. "Call him." She said and I dialed it, he immediately picked up. "Jordyn? What's wrong? Where's Carter? Is Max.." Crash said frantically over the line.

Carter: I'm here. You can't call Jordyn again. I don't want her involved in this.

Crash: I'm sorry I didn't know how else to talk to you.

Carter: I have my phone back.

Crash: I'm sorry. How's Max?

Carter: He's in a coma. Crash you have to.. You have to turn yourself in.

Crash: no. I'll go to jail but it wasn't my fault you saw the safety was on. It shouldn't have gone off.

Carter: You shouldn't have had it in the first place.

Crash: I know. I'm so sorry. I love you. Will you please see me?

Carter: I don't know.

Crash: Please? You're the only thing on this planet that matters to me. I need to see you.

Crash: Carter?

Carter: I don't know. Maybe.

She clicked the phone off and I stared at her. "You can't meet up with him, Car, he's dangerous." I warned her and she shook her head, "I know what I'm doing." We walked back into the kitchen where Elizabeth sighed, "there's something else I need to tell you, this morning I went back to the station and talked to my captain and.. I'm on the task force to apprehend Crash." Carter's face fell. "Now.. If Max dies.." Elizabeth continued. "Oh my god I can't even think about that," Carter said and I put my hand over hers. "If Max dies, that's felony murder." Elizabeth said. "It was an accident." Carter defended. "He left you with your best friend dying in your arms," I said and Carter cried a bit, the realization hitting her.

Later, Bird showed up looking upset. "I know that you're mad at me but Crash keeps calling me, looking for you." Bird said. I looked over at the pair of them from the desk, "Hey Bird." She looked up at me, "Hey Jordyn.." I suppose she was still weary after my mild death threat. "Now he's harassing you? This has got to stop, I can't.." Carter trailed off. Bird looked at her confused. "He's been blowing up my phone too," I said. "She shouldn't see him, he's dangerous." Bird said confidently. "No shit birdbrain." I snarked back. "Enough you two," Carter scolded and I put my hands up in mock surrender for the thousandth time since I'd been in this house it would seem. Bird left again and I tried to convince myself that everything was going to be okay. A task that was getting harder and harder.
