Drunk On Me

Chapter Seventeen: is it Jakes?

The drive home was two hours and I spent most of the time trying to convince Ginger that I was her best friend and have been since second grade. But to my dismay, I had no such luck.

We finally arrived at the new hospital, just a mile down the road from my house. After my mom got in contact with their parents we had to wait for them to arrive because the nurse would not let my mom sign for them.

I asked my mom what could be done about their memory.

"I don't know sweetie. It depends on how bad the damage is."

I just looked at her and nodded my head. Why me? Why my best friend? Why?

------------------------------------

It was two weeks before school was back in session and i was headed into my junior year. My mom and I were out shopping for new clothes, and looking for baby clothes for my future godchild, when my phone rang. I automatically assumed it was Luke because he calls me a fee times a day just to talk to me when he's on tour. We've been together for three months this weekend and I was planning a special date.

I smiled and pulled my phone out of my back pocket. I didn't recognize the number, but the area code was the same as mine so I answered.

"Is this Miss. Jayden Patrick?" A woman's voice asked.

"Yes ma'am. And who might this be?"

"This is the West Brickstone Hospital. I am calling you on behalf of Ginger Baxter."

"What about her? Is she okay?"

"She doesn't want me to tell you over the phone. She requests that you come to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Oka..... Wait a minute! SHE REMEMBERS ME?!"

"Yes, she does."

"I'll be right there!"

"Mom! Let's go! The hospital needs me!"

*5 MINUTES LATER*

My mom pulled up to the hospital and before she could even stop the car, I was out of the car running to the hospital.

"Jayden Patrick. Ginger Baxter requested to see me."

The nurse looked at me confused but turned and lead me into Ging and Ty's room.

There was a male nurse, around 45 maybe 50 sitting next to a computer monitor. I looked at Ginger and smiled but all she gave back was a grief stricken look. What?

"Um.. I was called?" Was all I could think to say.

Ginger looked at the nurse and nodded her head, as if to say go ahead.

He turned to me and I saw his name tag, along with the department he specialized in. Dr. Bennit. Pregnancy specialist. Shit.

"Right this way ma'am." He said, leading me out to the hall way.

"Please tell me she didn't have a miscarriage! Anything but a miscarriage!" I cried.

"The baby is fine, Miss. Patrick. But the child does not belong to Tyler Hubbard. The child belongs to Jacob Youngblood." He said in a low voice.

"You can't be serious right now. C'mon. Just tell me this is all a joke and we can laugh and have a good time about it. Please."

"This is no joke. Ginger was raped on the night of the concert. We watched the security footage and it looked like not long after she ran off to search for Tyler, that Jacob snatched Ginger up, tied her to a Farris Wheel cart and raped her right there. He had also tied Tyler to a pole right by the Farris Wheel, I assume so that he could watch the whole thing and not do anything about it. When Jacob was finished, he made Ginger and Tyler both drink an unidentified substance, tied the two at the top, got off and sent them to the top. We can only assume the drink was so they wouldn't remember a thing, which is also why Ginger had no recollection of you. We then watched Jacob pull out his phone and called you. When you met him behind the concession stand, we saw Luke so decided to follow him. We saw him discover the two at the top and we faintly heard Ginger tell him to "do whatever it took to keep you safe" and he did as told. But by the time you got to the Farris Wheel it was too late.."

I stood there and looked at him in silence. She was my best friend. I was supposed to protect her from things like this. And I failed miserably. I'd never forgive myself.

"Has she made and decisions yet? As far as the baby?"

"She is going to go through with the birth, but she is currently undecided on whether or not to keep it or give it up for adoption."

"How do you know it's Jakes?"

"We caught it on video.." He said, acting like I was retarded.

"How do you know she wasn't pregnant before the concert? She and Tyler have had sex a few times."

"I suppose you have a valid point. We will do a test and find out."

"I want to be here. I'm not leaving until I know for sure."

"Miss. Patrick, I'm afraid it could take a few days."

"I don't care. I'm not leaving."

"Very well then."

I followed him back into the room. Ginger had already guessed my reaction.

I walked over to the chair beside her bed and say down.

I leaned over and whispered "I'm not leaving until I know this is Jakes baby, and if it is, he's sure as hell not getting away with this."

"This is now Jayden Patrick's spot." I announced to the room.

I got on my phone and told her to leave and that I will fill her in in a few hours.

"So let's talk over the possibilities." Dr. Bennit stated.

After a few minutes I did have to leave the room, because some of these DNA testings were gross, but when she decided I went back into the room. They performed the procedure and sent it to the lab.

Meanwhile, I went to get food for the 3 of us; Ginger, Tyler, and myself.

The results came back within an hour.

"The baby belongs to..."

You thought I was actually gonna tell you in this chapter? Silly readers. On a serious note I find that it's easier for me to update every two weeks because then I make longer, better chapters. But I still might occasionally update 2 Saturdays in a row idk.
