  HEAL

He laid as still as a church mouse on that bed hoping that eventually she would give up and leave, thinking he was dead but then again she wanted him dead. He wondered where his security where? Were they not worried about him and why had Amara not called him but then he recalled that he had not seen his phone on the side table where he had left it when he went to bed. Suddenly he heard sniffing and whispering. As curious as he was he was not about to open his eyes till...

" Oh my gosh James he looks bad. How could she do this to him? I should have forced him to come with us! I knew this would happen."

No, I have to be dreaming he thought. That could not be Amara, she is in a city three and a half hours away with his children. He slowly and carefully  opened his eyes hoping that it was not dream and the first thing he saw was a light blue color wall, he was not in his room but where was he?. He lifted his heavy head a little, towards where he had heard voices and there she was in a pair of tracksuits talking to his cousin.

" Mara..."

They both quickly turned their heads towards him and that's when he noticed the tears in her eyes, it looked like she had been crying for hours. He winced as he tried to sit up. Luckily the bed was at a thirty degree angle and he did not need to lift himself up too much. James quickly pressed a button to place him a bit higher as Amara sat down next to him.

" Where are the children?"

" They're at David's with his mother and I came to check on you. I've been worried about you since yesterday."

" What are you doing here?"

" What do you mean what am I doing here?. You weren't answering my calls yesterday-"

" Yesterday?"

" Yes. I tried to call you and let you know we had arrived but you never answered my call. I tried four more times before calling James and asked him to come check on you."

He turned to James because he wanted to know how he got here and where Akilah was because the last thing he remembered was getting whipped as she believed that he was thinking of Amara and she was the reason she could not get him hard. After the first few hits he had managed to block the rest out and somehow became unconscious.

"....Immediately after I hung up her call, I woke up and drove to your house while still trying to call you. When I got there your security guy was also driving in with the police. He also had an uneasy feeling while he was at the police station and decided to return...."

If the police were involved that meant she was back in jail,he thought.

" Unfortunately the police had to break down your front door to get in because someone had locked and put furniture behind it and that alerted Akilah who somehow escaped and is still at large."

The fuck?!

" I've been here for two days?"

" Yes, you were sedated as soon as you came in."

" Can you get the doctor?"

" Why?"

" I'm leaving."
