Ch. 9

Wake up call

Josh woke up a couple hours later to his home phone ringing, he let out a tiring groan before getting up from the couch. The phone rang a few more times before Josh answered it.

"Hello?" He said quietly and tiredly.

"Is this Joshua Nathaniel Grant?" A woman asked, Josh rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Look, its three in the morning I'm not interested in what you are trying to sell." He said and was about to hang the phone up.

"No sir, I'm Dr. Hales from the South Bridge E.R." She said, Josh raised an eyebrow and placed the phone closer to his ear.

"What's this about?" He asked, there was a pause.

"Do you know Amanda Baker?" She asked, Josh felt his heart drop.

"Is…Is she okay? Did something happen to her?" He asked frantically.

"She was in a car accident on the highway, she's in surgery right now and asked me to call you." Josh felt like he got punched in the chest.

"I'll be right there." He said and hung up the phone. He quickly walked into his room and turned the lights on, he looked over to find Krystal was still sleeping. He turned his attention to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pants and an over shirt.

"Josh?" Krystal called out, He ignored her and started getting dress quickly, Krystal noticed the worry in his face and she quickly stood from the bed and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Josh what's wrong?"

"Amanda was in an accident, she's in the hospital…I need to hurry and get down there…God I hope she's alright, and the baby God if the baby…" He trailed off and took a deep breath.

"I'll go with you." Krystal said, Josh shook his head no.

"You don't have to." He said while grabbing his wallet and keys and leaving the room. Krystal quickly reached under the bed and grabbed her flight suit and zipped it up and activating the disguise. She rushed to Josh who just walked out of the apartment. Krystal walked out and caught up to him. He looked at her then turned away.

"I said you didn't have to."

"I want to Josh." She said, Josh nodded and they walked to his car and got in, he started the car and they drove off.

They made their way to the E.R and were waiting in the waiting room, Josh had his hands held together placed on his lips with his leg nervously shaking. Krystal noticed and reading his mind only told her how worried he was. She gently placed her hand on his back and started to rub it. His leg stopped shaking and he turned to look at her, she smiled at him and kept rubbing.

He liked how it felt to have her hand rubbing his back; the more she rubbed the less worried he felt.

'I needed that.' He thought, Krystal smiled and kept rubbing, a few moments later a female Doctor walked up to Josh.

"Mr. Grant?" She asked, Josh recognized the voice as the Doctor that called him.

"How's the baby?" He quickly asked, the doctor lowered her gaze a little.

"It and Amanda died in the ER." She said Josh suddenly felt the world around him disappear, he couldn't describe what he was feeling, it was a mix between anger and great sadness.

Krystal looked at him with a broken heart and noticed he was about to fall over, her instincts kicked in and she quickly reached out for him and held on to him as he fell to his knees, all he could do was stare at the floor while Krystal held onto him tightly afraid he would disappear before her eyes if she let up even for a second.

She felt him tremble in her arms and her eyes started to water, she sniffled and laid her head on his back, she tried to read his mind, but it was an empty void.

"I'm sorry." The Doctor said and walked away.

A few days had past and Josh hadn't said a word, all he did was laid on the couch staring at the celling. It broke Krystal's heart watching him suffer like this, but what could she do? She didn't know what to say or do, she would do anything for his pain to end but there was nothing that could be done.

At the funeral all he did was stare at the coffin with a blank expression while the preacher talked; a few people went up to the altar and talked about what a good person Amanda was, Krystal wanted to laugh. She didn't really know Amanda, but she knew she wasn't that good of a person considering what she did to Josh.

Krystal sighed, she shouldn't think like that about someone who died a few days ago. Her eyes landed on Josh when he walked up to the altar, he pulled out a wrinkled note and cleared his throat, and she noticed his eyes were tearing up. She let out a breath of relief when he finally spoke.

"My name is Joshua Grant…Nine years ago when I was in middle school I was the new kid…I didn't know any one and no one knew me, so I ate my lunch alone. I did so for a week, and one day some random girl sat down next to me, she didn't talk to me…She just ate her food and left when she was done. The next day at lunch she did the same thing, sat next to me and ate lunch until she was done and left, and on the third day, the same…On the fourth day I looked at her and said, 'Hi I'm Josh Grant.' She then turned to me with a smile and said. 'It's about time you spoke up.' She told me her name was Amanda Baker, and we became good friends. A year later I walked up to her and asked her out, to my surprise she said yes and we went to go see a movie…I…I still have the ticket in my wallet."

He pulled out his wallet and opened it, then pulled out a worn out ticket, a few people chuckled.

"We dated for the next eight years…A few weeks ago, I asked her to marry me. She said yes…We broke up three days later…The last thing I want to do is destroy the image of Amanda we all know, the sweet kind woman…I saw a side of Amanda no one would believe she had…I won't say what it was, but…I still loved her, I will always love Amanda for as long as I live…And as heartbroken as I am…Amanda died a long time ago." He finished and walked away, Krystal noticed some people looked appalled at what he said, and others were talking amongst themselves.

Josh walked away from the funeral and made his way to his car. Krystal quickly chased after him, she felt like she had to reach him before he got in, or else he might leave her there and go off somewhere and she wouldn't see him again.

'Please don't leave me.' She thought

"Josh." She called out; he ignored her and opened his door. Krystal held out her arms and rushed into him. She wrapped her arms around his body and held on tight.

"I won't let you go through this alone…I'll never leave you alone, I'll do whatever it takes to make the pain go away." She cried into his chest, he gulped and looked down at the girl holding onto him, although she was disguised as a human, he could only see the blue vixen before him. She held onto him tighter, refusing to let go.

A small barely audible sound escaped his slightly gapped mouth and a tear fell from his eye. He slowly placed his arms around Krystal and held onto her as tight as he could. Krystal had been holding her breath the whole time, waiting for him to push her away. Instead he hugged her back and all the air she was holding was let out in one joyful sob.

"I won't leave you, either." He said and kissed the top of her head. At that point she realized that she had sent that thought to him rather than to herself. She leaned back a little and looked into his eyes; they were filled with sadness, yet at the same time filled with hope. Without even thinking Krystal leaned up and kissed him on the lips, it was a very short kiss as she remembered they were at his Ex's funeral, however she was filled with so much emotion that she couldn't control herself.

She pulled away and looked back into his eyes; he stared at her for a few seconds that felt like a lifetime, she knew he was upset that she kissed him. She was ashamed of herself. The next thing he did surprised her, he smiled. It was a small smile, the right corner of his lips raised up forming the small smile, he then held her again.

"Let's go home." He whispered in her ear. He felt her head move up and down against his chest, she pulled away and walked over to the passenger side of the car and got in. Josh looked over at the distant funeral, he meant what he said. He would always love her, but the night she slept with another man was the night she died. Josh looked away from the funeral and opened his car door and got in

Back at the apartment Josh had finished taking a shower. He put his clean clothes on and stepped out; Krystal in her true form was next to the counter in the kitchen making a sandwich when he walked out.

"You hungry?" She asked.

"No, I'm a bit tired though…Do you mind if I sleep on the bed for a little bit?" He asked, the way he asked made Krystal think that he had forgotten that it was his bed and he could sleep on it whenever he wanted to.

"Of course…It's your bed after all." He slightly smiled and walked to the bedroom, he paused for a moment and turned to look at Krystal.

"Krystal."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." He said, she looked up at him. "Thank you." Thank you for all you have done for me, thank you for being there for what is the worst part of my life, thank you for keeping me strong, thank you for always being by my side. Without you, I don't even want to know how these weeks would have been, so Thank you.

That's what he wanted to say to her, he wanted her to know how much he appreciated her and cared for her. But instead all he could say was that small simple thank you.

"You're welcome Josh." She said with a caring loving smile. It didn't matter that he wasn't able to say exactly what he wanted to say to her, her words and loving smile said that she already knew what he wanted to say.

Josh smiled back at her and walked into the bed room closing the door. Krystal made her way to the couch with her sandwich and tried to eat it while watching TV, however she just couldn't. She was too sad for her friend and thus wasn't able to enjoy her sandwich.
