Obsessed

Questions and Answers

"Hey Bruno." Jacquelyn visited me again while in the hospital. "Hey. I have a question for you, and I want the honest truth." "Go for it." She said.

"You always tell me 'you don't know what I've been through' what do you mean by that?" I ask.

"I've been in a relationship where they didn't want people to know who I was. I was just that girl. I thought that men were just dogs, people who didn't care about anyone, but themselves. I was in an abusive relationship for 6 years. He claimed I didn't show enough affection, and I was 'too distant'. He broke my nose, and cracked my collarbone. But when I met you personally, I thought 'Maybe he's different. I'll do whatever it takes to keep him' And when I hear you sing yours songs, it's like you feel my pain, emotionally. You know how I'm feeling. The night you were there in London, I knew you had a show, but I didn't think you were coming to the club. When you looked in my book, you knew how dedicated, how willing I was to watch you grow. I did the same for my ex, but it wasn't enough. You didn't know what it felt like to be hurt like that. You've been in pain but not my kind."

My heart ached. "But why did you start...acting crazy like that one morning when Jessica was there at breakfast." "Because I just had it. Bruno I fell in love with you. But you overlooked that because you wanted to satisfy her. You were so blind in your own lies. But if you want her. Go have her, but if you get her back, I want my book back, because I don't want this to be made fun of." She held her hand out, waiting for the book, thinking I'd give it back.

"Can I ask you another question?" I ask. "What?" She tried to hide her tears from me "What else is bothering you?" She grabbed a tissue. "Fuck." She said angrily as tears ran down her face. "I had an abortion." My heart stopped beating. "What?" I asked. "You got me pregnant, and I let it go."

"Why would you do that?" She wiped her endless tears. I didnt know whether if I should be sad or livid right now. "Because you had just gotten back with Jessica, and you guys seemed to be stronger than ever. I didn't want to bring an innocent child in a place like this.  So I did us both a favor. I thought of the things you did to me. I didn't want to deal with baby mama drama." "But why didn't you ask me? You don't how I felt about that baby Jacquelyn." "BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME!" She cupped her mouth crying non stop. "You told me you didn't love me, you loved Jessica. So why have a baby with someone you thought was a lunatic, psychopath, a nut! Someone you thought drugged you and I know you think I did... Rather than someone you truly did love. It wasn't worth the struggle Bruno. It wasn't. There are so many reasons why I gave up the baby. For one, we weren't ready, and maybe, we never will be. I had to protect you from people, the media for instance."

"Bruno, you have a visitor." I wiped my face. Before I could respond, Jessica walked in. "Why is she here?" Jessica kissed my forehead in front of Jacquelyn to make her jealous. "She came to visit me that's all." "Do I need to call the authorities? She should be arrested for doing what she's done." Jacquelyn stood there and just listened.

"Bruno, we apologize, but we re scanned your blood test, and you didn't have SUX in your system. You had a rare deficiency, caused from raw beef. Nothing life threatening, it's just a severe case of food poisoning. You can be released today." The translator said with a smile. "Thank you." Jessica and I said. "Now you both have the truth." Jacquelyn said.

She snatched the book from my hand. She looked at me and Jessica still trying to hold tears. I looked at Jacquelyn, angry as ever, then I looked at Jessica. "I've been meaning to give you this Jess." I pulled the box that was sitting on the shelf. "To keep us from falling apart again, I wanted to make you mine, forever." I showed her the 24k crystal ring. "Oh my God." Jessica gasped. "Yes!"

This hurt Jacquelyn more than anything. "You guys are great together. I'm sorry for everything I've done." "Jacquelyn, you don't understand..." "No, I do. Maybe I am just a crazy person. I'm going to get help. It'll do us all justice. Get well, and...I wish you two the best." Jacquelyn walked out of the hospital room, and that was it.
