Chapter 3

Apology

Being in the hospital was like a dream. Well, a nightmare. I no longer knew what day it was, or if it was morning or night. I wasn't sure when I even fell asleep or woke up. Actually, I wasn't even sure I did sleep…

But I knew one thing: everyone was losing hope. It must have been two weeks at least, and Jonathon had gone back to college and Bella went back to home to her husband and son. My parents were still here, but even their visits had gotten less frequent. Lisbon stopped by three times a week, and Rigsby and Cho came whenever she did. I wondered how many crimes they had solved without me.

I doubted they solved many. After all, Patrick never left my room unless he had to use the bathroom or get something to eat or drink. It made me sick just to think about him.

One day, (or maybe it was night), Patrick spoke up.

"I'm so sorry Grace." He said softly. I shook my finger back and forth.

No.

I wanted to say 'No, you're not', but there's not much you can say with a finger.

I felt his hand on mine, and I couldn't push it off. His touch felt like acid on my skin.

"Would you stop that?" He asked, his voice halfway in between frustration and sadness. Oh, like he had the right to be frustrated and sad!

"I'm sorry that I made you be the hooker. I'm sorry that you were the bait. I keep on replaying that day in my mind and really, I just want to…" Patrick cut off.

You just want what? I was curious to see what lie he'd try to make me believe.

"I just want to hear your voice again…" He finally said. If I could have rolled my eyes I would have.

He still had his hand on mine, and it was getting uncomfortable. If a doctor walked in here, he might think we're together or something…

"Your voice…it…it always reminded me of my wife's…" Patrick said, and I could tell he was about to cry.

Oh, suck it up! I never got someone rammed by an SUV because David died!

"I've already gotten my wife and my daughter killed…I can't lose you, too Grace." Patrick sobbed.

I wanted to slap him right across his face. He was such a fake. "Oh, Grace, I don't want to lose you, too!" Give me a break!

"You've always been like my little sister. I never told you that. I never told anyone that."

For some reason, I felt my cheeks burn. Was I blushing? No…maybe it was from anger. I had a funny feeling in my stomach, and my heart started beating faster.

I despised Patrick Jane with my whole heart and soul…why was my body acting like I loved him?

Then I heard it. The beeping on my heart monitor became loud and fast.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

I was…flat lining…

I slowly felt myself drifting out of consciousness. The beeping kept getting farther and farther away. I heard Patrick screaming my name from far away.

"Grace! I need a doctor in here! Stay with me Grace…"

No, thank you. I'd rather be dead than stay with you. I let myself slip away, leaving the world and Patrick Jane behind.

TO BE CONTINUED!
