Hit and Run

Ch. 5- Reality Check One Part Three

Jamie had almost come obsessed with what happened. He couldn't sleep at night, he had nightmares. Wondering what had happened to the little girl. She could have only been about three. He tried calling the hospital to see how she was doing, but always hung up. What if they found out, that he was the one who hit her?

He had become somewhat paranoid as well. Jamie knew someone had to have seen either him or his father's car. Every time a siren came by his house, school, or the station it made him jump. He waited for it, waited for the police to get him. He had thought of turning himself in, but even thou his guilt was rising and his contusions was telling him to, he just couldn't seem to do it.

Caitie, Val, Tyler, Hank, Brooke, his parents and brother, everyone, seemed to noticed a change in him. He was quiet and uneasy. He didn't seem to talk to anyone. His concentration was slipping and his work at the station and school lacked. That was because Tessa Mitchell was all Jamie could think about, night and day. She haunted him.

So, Jamie decided to find out more about her. Anything he could, without becoming too close. One could say he almost stalked her. However, Jamie was not in his right mind. He found out the preschool she went to, her parents names, how she had grew up. It was then he decided to call the hospital again.

And this time he didn't hang up.
