I am Widow

Chapter 55

I leave. I go back to the waiting room.

I see Jackson kissing Jessica.

They are siting right next to each other. Jackson's hand is on her cheek pressing on it gently. Their lips tasting each others lips gently. He has never kissed me like that with so much gentleness, delicacy, and full with so much care like if he is afraid to break her.

I stay neutral. I cant cry. I cant yell. I cant loose my baby. The only human I will ever love with my life and hopefully he/she will do as well.

I quickly go somewhere else before they can see me. I end up outside in the smoking area but no one is here. I sit on the cement floor and look to the sky. I wonder if my mom or dad is really watching me. What would they say if they were here?

My mom would probably be freaking out about when I had sex. My dad would probably try to buy a gun to shot the guy but of course, dad will never do it though.

"Ma'am,"

I turn and see a security guard. "sorry mam but I see you're pregnant. I am here at a break and well wanna smoke. do you mind if you go inside?"

Oh yeah, I stand and go inside the hospital. I go once again not hoping Jackson is kissing Jessica, to the waiting room. They aren't kissing but still next to each other.

"Hey Widow," Jessica says.

"hi,"

"sit," Jackson moves to the other chair and I sit between them.

I just want to slap them both! I cant believe this.

James and Mike come with a big smile.

"guess what?" Mike asks.

I stand, "what?"

"Paul opened his eyes," James answers.

...

Everybody is crowded in the room. Paul's family is right next to his bed. I see the brown eyes again open. They are looking all around.

Dr. Pat and Lock come in and try to calm everyone.

Dr. Pat stands next to Paul's bed. "Paul can you blink once for yes and two for no, like this" she blinks to show Paul how.

"do you understand me?" she asks.

Paul blinks once.

Yes! He is okay!

"do you remember your dad and mom?" Dr. Pat asks.

Paul's eyes turn to his parents. He blinks once.

"how about me?" Emily asks. He blinks once again.

I smile.

"okay, well, Paul, do you remember anyone else in the room?" Dr. Lock asks.

His eyes scan everyone for a long while. He says no.

I quickly walk towards his bed. "Paul it's me Widow. Please say you remember me."

He blinks twice. his heart begins to beat faster. Dr. Pat tells him to calm down that it's okay.

But it's not, he doesn't remember anything?

"Oh sweetie," Mrs. Anthony says, "I am so glad you are alive. everything will be okay baby."

"I love you son, don't worry. we will do everything to get you back," Mr. Anthony says.

Emily kisses his cheek, "I am glad you're back."

Dr. Lock tells everyone to leave except his family. we go into this meeting room.

"why cant he remember us?" Rachel asks. "I thought that maybe he will."
