David

I looked at her crying, I tried touching her but it was like something was holding me the entire time I tried going close to her. I saw her dad, the environment looked like we were in her room or something because it was girly. They were talking but no sound was happening. She wiped her tears and nodded. That's when I noticed the bags around the room.

I tried screaming for her to at least wait for me to get to her so we can fight for this together. I woke up with a pain on my stomach. I groaned touching it. Dani screamed and ran to me.

I was confused she looked a bit different. I saw my parents smiling at me, well mom was. Dad looked a bit drained. I know I'm in the hospital. "you wake up on my last day of visiting" she smiled wiping her tears. "I should call the doctor."

Last day? What's going on? I let her call the doctor. I didn't even want to talk my throat was so dry and painful I couldn't even swallow properly. I stared at the water, and mom came to my side to give me the water. "you just had to not fucking stay away from her. You could've gotten any girl you wanted you just had to pick her!" My dad started.

"not now. Please, just let him be okay first. Then the lectures after." Mom pleaded. The doctor came and i didn't reply to my dad because I wasn't in the mood to argue. I need to get up and find Jordyn.

I want to kill her father but I know it'll crush her badly, that's the only reason why my dad hasn't killed him because I told him if he does our relationship is over and I'll never forgive him. The doctor came and he just smiled at me. "we had started giving up"

"how long was I out?" I asked. They all started looking at each other. I knew it must've been a long time. But I didn't care, I needed to find her and make sure she's good. "just discharge me. I'm fine, I need to look for Jordyn."

My dad got angry. "what the fuck did you just say?"

"okay, everyone calm down. Let the doctor speak and we'll talk as a family when Dave is okay. You're not being discharged before time." Mom said trying to calm everything down.

I sighed, I didn't even want to listen to them talk anymore because I know how my mother is. She'll really make sure I don't leave this hospital. Bash came in and I chuckled at him having this goofy smile. He also looked different.

The family and the doctor gave us some privacy after the doctor told me what's going to be my schedule for me to feel better and heal faster. "you're finally back!"

"yeah, nigga. How long was I out? You look different. What's been going on? Is Jordyn really gone? Have you tried calling her?" I asked.

"how long do you think you've been out?" He asked making me look at him annoyance  while while he held a laugh in. Only he would annoy me on a hospital bed. "it's been a year and a few months."

"what!?" I looked shocked and I'm sure he could see it was serious too. Which means I wasn't in the mood for jokes. I touched my face even through the pain I felt lifting up my arm. But I still felt no facial hair.

"your mom asked the nurses to make sure you're always clean and good." He explained.

"a year? What the hell?" I asked.  Why didn't they just give up?

"there wasn't even hope that you'd get out the coma. Only your mom had hope of you surviving this." He said.

"shit. How am i up?" I asked.

"her version, God. Our version, your dad finally allowed the doctor came up with a method to take you out the coma and see how you respond." He said. "He was scared you'll die at first."

"so if it didn't work that would've been a automatic death for me." I said.

"we couldn't easily let you go so a year later your family finally gained the courage to do it." He said.

"damn. What's been up with everything?" I asked, I actually meant what's been happening with her.

"everything you mean her?" He chuckled. I nodded and he scoffed letting me know he wasn't happy at all and things weren't good at all. "she's gone. She never contacted me to know how you're doing or anything. I tried tracking her down with the tracker on her necklace and it just took me to a field that had no houses at all."

"he must've found out about it. Shit!" I sighed.

"I say move on now nigga. You almost lost your own life for someone who doesn't even have the decency to call and see how you're doing." He got angry.

"it's fucked up how much i love her and she couldn't even call to check up on a nigga." I shook my head.

"It's life man. You'll be ight " he said.

Jordyn

I fixed my stuff and I was nervous as hell. I was going to be attending Southern University. Since I was in 11th grade I passed with average marks so in senior year I made sure I did good. My father was very proud to a point where he brought me a car.

I think it was to try and help me forget about Dave who I just couldn't stop loving even after a full year and montbs of him being in coma

I think it was to try and help me forget about Dave who I just couldn't stop loving even after a full year and montbs of him being in coma.

I secretly called Mani on someone's phone in school and long time ago and she told me he's in a coma and she thinks it'll be best if i just don't contact him if he wakes up because if my dad can try to kill him twice. The third time he might actually die. And I don't want that so, I didn't contact him again.

It's best we just stop what we're doing. It's hard to stop loving him. I know I ended thing not because I want to, but because I have to.

Remember my dad saying he'll send me off to overseas? Well he lied. It was here in still in America he just didn't want to give Dave a clue where I'll be. "you're ready?" Sammie asked.

"I guess so." I sighed.  She's my babysitter and 'life coach' I like Sammie but after Lorna it's hard to trust people that are supposed to be close to me. But Sammie is so nice, when I'm crying she always makes me hot chocolate so I could feel better and I've been crying a lot in this past year and a few months.

It was July and I was finally going to get started with my college life. "try to make friends."

"I'll try but friends complicate things. Dad might not like how I hang out with and BOOM I'm moving." I said sarcastically. I was even upset that he wouldn't let me call Bash.

I helped her put my luggage in the car. I was excited for all this growing up in was yet to do. I'm about to be in college now. Maybe it's a good thing I don't contact Dave. I'm only putting him in danger. He's still in the coma because of me.
