Terry Baker

Chapter Seventeen: I Thought You Didn't Bottom.

Terry's POV

I slowly come out of the sleeping state that I was in. I feel like I have been sleeping for days, actually more like weeks. As I slowly open my eyes, I see a bright light and a room that is entirely white. Great! I died. I open my eyes completely and fully seeing that I'm alive and in the hospital. What the hell happened? Maybe my Pneumonia is back. But why does my head feel like someone cracked it open and they just put it back together? I look over to the side seeing Danny asleep.

"Danny?" I whisper trying to get him to wake up. "Daniel?" I say the name he hates the most.

"I fucking told you not to call me that, EVER!" Danny says waking up from him sleep. "At least you're awake." He says coming to my bedside.

"How long have I been sleeping?" I ask rubbing my head.

"Two days. Terry, what happened?" Danny asks.

"Grayson?" I say everything immediately coming back to me. From Sharon to the meatheads that almost killed me. It was Sharon. That Bitch! "I need to talk to Grayson." I say trying to get myself out of bed.

"Don't move, just stay in the bed." Danny says pushing me back in the bed. I need to get to Grayson. He needs me! I don't why, but I feel like he needs me.

"Where is he?" I ask knowing Grayson doesn't like not being by my side always.

"I don't know. All I know is that everything is taken care of. Even your instructors have been contacted." Danny says rubbing my face.

"Did he come here? Even once?" I ask hoping.

"I'm sorry Terry. I haven't seen him."

"It's her fault. What kind of mother dictates her children?"

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find him. By any means necessary."

"Terry, don't get crazy. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I just wanted you to be with someone other than Ray than I pushed you to Grayson." Danny explains with a remorseful expression.

"You didn't do anything. Me and Grayson belong together; and we will be together." I say encouraging myself. I don't believe it. Not one word I just said do I feel like it's true. As much as I love Grayson, the fear he has for his mother is greater than the love he has for me. And that's a fact! I know he is going to push me away and hurt me because of her, but I will hold on because to be frank, my life depends on it.

***********

As I sit quietly in my advisers office, I wonder how my life has gotten so complicated. Grayson hasn't contacted me ever since I got out of the hospital and frankly, I'm okay with it. I know he's not contacting me because of Sharon, I guess this gives me time to get ready for my exams since the semester is almost over.

"Terry, I'll see you now." Maya, my adviser says.

"Coming." I get up from her waiting room and head over into her office.
