Chapter 25: Epilogue: He's Alive
Jax's POV:
Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep...
I sat in the chair, with my head in my hands, trying to think about what I was going to do. I haven't left this spot, unless I had to check on the kids, go eat, or get cleaned up in a year and a half, or so. I've taken a sabbatical from the club and work, but if they really needed me, then I'd go do what I had to do, but overall, nobody was for it, but I didn't care. I knew where I had to be and it's right here, next to my wife, who's fighting for her life, who's fighting to come back home to us.
I can't stop thinking about what happened that night. It replays in my head, like a horrible movie. Over and over. It had been raining hard and Carly was on the highway coming back from taking Lily shopping in Stockton for a dress to wear for her schools 'Daddy-Daughter Dance' which was taking place the next day, that her and I was supposed to go to.
Carly was on the phone with me, letting me know how long they were gonna be until they got home, because I was gonna surprise her with dinner. She told me that she was ten or so minutes away, which was perfect, I had enough time to set everything up. A few seconds later, she told me that she loved me, and it made me smile. Before I could respond back, I heard her scream the name 'Ryan!' and she screamed 'Lily, hang on!' and then I heard a loud crash, followed by the dial tone.
Carly got hit by a car and from the looks of it, her car was completely totalled. Lily managed to get away with a broken arm and some scratches on her face. Carly on the other hand, I just couldn't believe what happened. She was seven and a half months pregnant at the time and as soon as they carefully got Carly out of the car, she got flown to the hospital, and they had to do an emergency c-section, to get my daughter out safely.
After doing so, they took my little girl to the NICU, since she was born six weeks premature. It kind of felt like Abel in there all over again, minus the drugs. What I'm thankful for, is that she didn't get the family flaw passed down to her. Mom, Rachel, and Katie mostly stayed with her, while I was with Carly. The baby didn't have a name when she was born, and for the first three weeks of her life, she was named 'Baby Girl Teller.'
I thought back to what names Carly would have wanted, because we have talked about it, after we found out what she was having. It was a toss up between Hailey Elizabeth, Daisy Isabelle, Jasmine Rose, or Samantha. So with Lily's help, she picked out Hailey Elizabeth, and it was perfect.
Carly did lose a lot of blood afterwards, but they managed to fix it in time, before she could die on the operating table. She got bruises, glass shards all over her arms, face, and chest, plus a broken leg and a broken wrist. From what the doctor's told me, she had hit her head pretty hard, and when she got into the ER, she slipped into a coma, and so far she hasn't came out of it since.
Some of the doctors, think I should just pull the plug. I almost knocked one of them out for even suggesting it. But I refuse to give up on her and I know in my heart, that she'll find a way to come back to me and our family. Carly was the best thing that has ever happened to me and her bringing Rachel and Lily, helping me get Abel back, and plus our little girl made my life complete. I will not give up on her.
All Carly needs to do, is wake up. Wake up and tell me that she's gonna be okay and not to worry. I need her, more than ever and the kids need her as well. I miss holding her, kissing her, and walking up next to her every morning. I got so used to sleeping next to her, that now, I can't sleep right, and I haven't been sleeping that great since that night.
I don't know what I'd do, if she was no longer in my life. Right now, it just feels like a piece of me is missing, I don't know how Opie coped with losing Donna, then hooking up with Lyla not too long after. But if Lyla makes my best pal happy, then I'm happy for him. Me on the other hand, I don't think there is a woman in this world I'd wanna be with, unless it's Carly.
Lately, I've been thinking about why Carly screamed out the name Ryan, before the accident happened. We also have no leads on who hit her, causing the accident. The person or whoever it was, fled the scene with no evidence anywhere, and everything turned into a dead end. I'm hoping Hale comes up with something, because I know he cares about Carly and he's determind to figure out who did this, then we and the club, will take care of it.
Since I'm not there to watch the kids, Katie watches them full time, at my house. She watches Hailey and Abel, while Lily and Rachel are in school or if Rachel is working in the office, doing paperwork with Mom. After me and Carly got back from our honeymoon in the Bahamas, Rachel was legally adopted by both of us, and she even changed her last name to Teller. I felt that it was the right thing to do, once Carly had brought it up to me. Before all of this, Rachel had no family except for Carly and Lily, but now she has a even bigger family, and I'm really happy for her, that she feels like she belongs with all of us.
I haven't seen or heard from Sack since the accident. This is gonna sound weird, but he didn't even tell me goodbye or anything. He just stopped coming around and popping up out of nowhere. I'm thinking the Man upstairs let him through the pearly gates, or at least I hope that's where his spirit went off to. He was a good kid and he didn't deserve to die, trying to protect Abel, but after he helped Carly get him and Lily back, I'm pretty sure, he's up there smiling down and keeping an eye on us.
I looked up at Carly, watching her chest rise and fall, with the help of the breathing tube. The doctors and nurses told me that, even though she's in a coma, her brain is still on. You can see her eyes rolling behind her eyelids and she'll twitch her fingers, toes, and sometimes her legs will twitch from time to time. They also told me since they're brain is still functioning, that she can hear her surroundings.
I try and try to talk to her, but everytime I do, I'm expecting to hear her talk back or laugh. Damn, I miss her smile and her laugh, I would give anything to see or hear it again. It's just hard, because I see her lying right in front of me, and I just feel like I'm talking to a brick wall.
Man, Carly has missed so much. Lily's kindergarden graduation, Rachel's celebration for getting her license, Hailey's first words, the first time she crawled, and walked. Damn, I really fucking hate this and I wish I could take all of Carly's pain away and take her place. I put my head back down in hands and sighed.
A while later, I heard the door open and shut. I slowly looked up and my eyes widened as my jaw dropped to the ground. I glanced back at Carly, then looked back at the woman standing in front of me. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared with hate in her eyes.
"Who the fuck are you?" she started. "And why the fuck is my sister in the hospital?"
I stood up, confused. "Who are you?"
"I asked you first."
What is wrong with her? "I'm Jax, Carly's husband." I crossed my arms over my chest, mocking her. "Now, it's your turn."
"I'm Melissa... Carly's twin sister." she told me. I couldn't believe it, but she did look exactly like Carly, except that this woman, has long blondish hair. "Now, back to my other question... why is she laying in the hospital bed?"
I stood there, at the foot of Carly's bed staring at her and I can feel in my gut that something is not right, I gotta figure out what it is, so Carly doesn't get hurt in the long run. I just don't trust this bitch, regardless if says she's her sister or not. "Well, Carly never told me that she had a sister."
"Why would she?" Melissa shrugged. "She doesn't even know I exist."
"Okay, why are you here?"
Melissa sighed. "I came to help her."
"For what?" I asked, shaking my head. "She don't need your help."
"I strongly disagree."
"And why is that?"
"Because I know that Ryan Spencer is alive and he's the one that tried to kill her."
I raised my eyebrow. "And why should I believe you?"
"Because he tried to kill me too."
