Never After

Chapter 7: Confusion.

     I wake up to the sound of a huge crash. I look at my clock. It's freaking 4:30 in the morning.

What made that sound?

Crash

There it is again.

I grab my robe and head outside of my room with the gun my dad gave me when I graduated high school. He said it was time for me to start protecting myself. I never thought I would have to use this thing.

As i exit my room I stay alert holding the gun slightly just in case it was nothing, and so I won't over react at the smallest movement. But firm enough just in case it is an intruder and I have to defend myself.

As I make my way to Jordan's room to see if he is up because of the noise, I'm astonished at what I find. Jordan's bedroom door is slightly open and there is a faint light that seems to be coming from his bathroom. I make my way inside cautiously not knowing what I will find. But as I enter I drop the gun to the floor.

     His bed looks like someone dragged him out of it and as I follow the trail of sheets and blankets that crumble to the floor, I gasp. there is vomit all over the floor. Realizing that I need to help him wherever he is, I begin to call his name.

"Jordan? Are you in here?"

Silence

As I walk to the bathroom I call out again, 

"Jordan, are you..."

My sentence gets cut short when I see the state of the bathroom. There s vomit everywhere. And everything that was once on the bathroom counter is now on the floor. And in the midst of it all is Jordan.

     Not caring what I step in or on I run to Jordan's side on the floor as he is curled in a fetal position on the cold bathroom tile. I lightly touch his face to make sure that he is still with me an as I do his eyes flutter open. But all I can see in them is pain and

Confusion.

I begin to cry, but at the same time try to be strong as I say,

"Jordan? Are you okay? Where does it hurt? What can I do? Please tell me. I don't want to loose you. Stay with me please? Please."

But before I can say one more word he says,

"Jade.......Please get help." In the weakest voice I have ever heard him speak in. And at that moment I know that this situation is out of my control.

     With little hesitation I get up and go to the phone at his study desk and call an ambulance. Our house is not that far from Abbott Northwestern Hospital. So they reach within thirty minutes. 

*******

     As they begin to check Jordan to make sure that he is stable enough to be transported to the hospital one of the paramedics takes me aside and begins filling me in.

"Well ma'am he seems to be stable enough for us to go, but who will be accompanying him?"

"Of course I'm the one that's going with him he is my husband, so I will be going." I say rather quickly and with some aggravation in my voice.

It does not seem to faze him, "Well we are going to be leaving in the next minute or so, if you want to get changed and pack up anything to carry."

As I look down at my appearance I realize that I'm wearing my satin robe that is just a little to revealing to this man that I do not even know. Closing my robe around me I say, " Ummm? Okay. Yeah sure. I'm just going to change and I'll be right back."

Not wanting to leave Jordan For a long time I dash out of the room to get changed and while doing so I cannot help but to say a small prayer.

God, Please help him. Allow Jordan to make it through this. I don't want him to leave me. I don't know what you're trying to teach him or even teach me, but I am willing to obey. Please just help us through this.

And with that I am changed and out of the door heading to the hospital.

A/N: Hey guys! I know I haven't posted in a long time but thnx for being patient. Anyway I know you guys probably wasn't expecting this to happen so soon. And I'm sure you guys have questions like what's going to happen to Jordan and if he is going to be okay. But I guess you'll have to stick around and find out.
