Pierce Your Heart (Jealousy book 3)

Chapter 30- Worst Nightmare

Brandon

I haven't moved from her hospital door in eight hours, according to the nurse lady that keeps passing and reminding me of the time like I look like I'm in the wrong dimension. I Just can't move.Not to eat, not to use the bathroom, not to drink, nothing.

Trying to make sense of my life, in an odd way, like a puzzle. Tryna fit pieces together that once fit so perfectly just under a year ago, now none of it makes sense.

And how can I? When just when you think its getting better you get thrown a hundred steps back.

I shake my head, hitting it against her door.

I don't even understand how they let me back in here to be close to her door anyway. Maybe I have convinced them I'm safe, and not the animal they saw eight hours ago.

But I'm not so sure about that. With every passing moment I feel the anger, like a pot of boiling water, filled to capacity, over flowing and burning my heart with torment.

I squint to try and rid my eyes of the tears that pooled in it.I don't even feel them fall. I'm numb,
or maybe my reaction to my wife not remember the passed eleven years just has me off.

What am I saying ?? I'm as off as one can get.

My mind drifts back Into her eyes as she looked at me confused.

"Where's my husband?-where is Adonyjah?" She asks with trembling lips.

I feel my entire body shift as if I was a bad streaming of a movie.

What did she just ask me?
Did she just ask me for...Nyjah?!

My eyes were wide with grief and shock.I search her eyes like a mad man and I notice she is not playing with.

"Baby I'm your husband. "I manage taking her hand and placing it on my cheek.

She tugs it away, looking deranged.

"I don't know you, are you crazy? "She blurts.

My heart felt like someone had piled a heavy bag of bricks on it.

"Baby com'on."I smile weakly at her, not able to ingest any of this. "Its me-its Bran."

Her brows furrow and she weighs my words.

"I -I am sorry Sir, but I-"

"You were hit across the head several times with a hard object."The Doctor says behind me. Des's eyes moved from mine to his with even more confusion in them. "Mrs. Pierce you-"

"I'm sorry who?" She asks cutting him off. "That's not my name."

I felt nauseated and frozen stiff, sitting on the side of her bed and feel her scooting over, reproaching me. The forgotten husband.The stranger.

Nothing that has happened in this room since I've entered makes any sense.
She doesn't know me?
She's asking for him ?

Nahh...baby girl just mad at me for putting her through this.
It has to be that. .

I hold her hand and she tugs it away.

"What are you doing?" She croaks. "Where is my husband sir? -Doctor?"

"Mrs Pierce please."He tries.

"THAT'S NOT MY NAME!" She yells as tears fall from her eyes.

I look at her face, Into her eyes as she looked confused like and angrily at the doctor. I am trembling, I realize as my entire body convulsed.
Tears falling on her hospital gown from my eyes and my head beating like that's where my heart was.
