Jordan sat on the couch pretending to listen to Mark and Miguel. They were going on about his career but he couldn't care less at this point. "Fuck my career" he thought. "Jordan look at me." he heard his mom tell him in a serious tone. He looked up and grimaced from his headache. "Jordan while you've been out trying to drink yourself to death do you know what I've been doing? I've been in the hospital right next to the women who is pregnant with not one but two of YOUR children. Me and your brothers and sisters have been keeping her calm so they babies will be okay. We have lied to her about where you have been so it doesn't upset her. She asks for you every. Single. Day and you don't even have the courtesy to call her or check on your children? Jordan I didn't raise you to abandon yourself or responsibilities. Raven loves you more than you'll ever know and you're throwing that away with self-pity. GROW UP JORDAN!" she told him sternly. He looked into her eyes and saw the pain and tears and he broke down.
Marlene hated to see the look of pain in any of her children's eyes but especially her two youngest. She pulled him to her shoulder and stroked his back trying to comfort her youngest son as best she could until his shoulders stopped shaking, his sobs which broke her heart quieted .It was tearing her up inside to see both of them in this much pain .Sometimes she wished he had never made it big .Life became a crazy ride when these things happened and she was afraid he wouldn't survive that ride if he didn't get his priorities straight. When she pulled away to leave for the hospital her shirt was soaked with his tears. She felt a lump in her throat as she hugged him before she walked out the door.
Two days later ...
Jordan sat in the once again emptiness of his living room. He hated the silence he hated the feeling of nothingness and loneliness of the noiseless house. He got up retrieved a bottle of water from the fridge. He spied the bottle of bourbon as he went to go back to the couch. With a howl of rage he picked it up, the echo of the breaking glass reverberated against the kitchen wall. He sat down eyeing his keyboard .Scrubbing his hands in his hair and over his face as if to wake himself up he got up and sat down at the seat in front of it .He played a few chords. An hour later he had a melody now it needed words. He played around a little and found his rhythm again. He heaved a deep sigh as he finished the song. As he was about to get up from the keyboard a few hours later he had another melody come to him. He worked late into the night .By sunrise both songs were completed and he flopped down on the couch in exhaustion. He couldn't bear to sleep in their bedroom without her .He just couldn't.
Feeling determined Jordan grabbed his keys and trekked out the door. Mark was sitting on the porch when he got outside locking the door behind him.Mr Knight where you going ? He inquired worried there would be a repeat of last week. To see my woman Jordan replied back with a look that dared Mark to try and stop him. I'll drive you Mark told him smiling. Once at the hospital Jordan began to lose his nerve .What if she doesn't wanna see me? What if she sends me away again he kept asking himself over and over even making Mark circle the parking lot several times before going in.
Raven spent her days in the hospital bed hooked up to monitors and IV's. She was lonely and he missed Jordan terribly. She had watched the video again and noticed that Jordan wasn't conscious during the video. Raven called Miguel to have him call the investigators. As she lay in her bed she rubbed her round belly. "Hey babies. Mommies sorry she upset you. Mommy was upset herself but she's ok now. I promise not to hurt you again. Mommy loves you both so very much. Aislynne my little princess and Wyatt my little prince. I know daddy loves you too. He's just a little lost and confused right now." she said with a sigh. She knew her voice reflected her sadness. Jordan's whole family had been so supportive through everything. They were there every day to check on her and make sure she had everything she needed. Miguel was great too. She knew they were lying when they told her Jordan was in the studio. She figured he was doing something self-destructive but she wasn't sure what. "I just want my Jordan back. I miss his touch and his scent. I miss everything about him." she whispered as the tears began to flow again.
