**Thank you guys!**
I stand up and feel lightheaded. After I seen Jay do that I ran into the bathroom. I was crying so violently my whole body was shaking, I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe, I was hiccupping and finally I began throwing up. It hurt like a mother fucker.
"Mr. Copeland?" A male voice says and knocks on the door.
"Just a minute." I say and rinse out my mouth. I open the door and come face to face with a doctor.
"He's dead." I say. More like a statement than a question. The doctor stares at me.
"Who?" He asks.
"Jay."
"Mr. Reso?"
"Yes."
"He didn't die. He just had a seizer. If everything goes smoothly he should be out of here in about a week."
"Really?"
"Yes. He was lucky. We don't know what happened but he's ok."
"That's great!" I exclaim, and for once, I mean it.

"Will you eat?" I finally explode at Alanah. During the whole dinner she's been pushing her food around with her fork and absent mindedly twirling the spaghetti on her fork.
"What?" She asks like an airhead and looks up.
"Eat! You act like I haven't noticed! You're not eating and I see it!"
"I have!" She says and shows me her plate. I turn red. She has.
"Sorry." I mumble.
"Whatever. Do you know what today is?"
"Wednesday."
"Right. And guess when the jury is showing the tape."
"I don't know."
"Friday!"
"Alanah it's a fake."
"Well I'll have to see."
"You don't believe me?"
"I don't know anymore Adam."
"Alanah I've been nothing but the perfect husband! I was always loyal and dedicated to you! When you were at the lowest point in your life I was there and helped you back up. Now I'm low, can't you help me?"
"Nothing's perfect Adam."
"So you're saying I've done nothing good?"
"I never said that."
"You implied it."
"I did not imply it! All I'm saying is nothing's perfect. If you don't want to listen to my uphill downhill speech then forget it. We shouldn't talk until this case is over."
"Which might not be for years?"
"Which is better than screaming and killing each other?"
"Argh Alanah you are impossible!"
"I'm going to the guest room." She says and stands up.
"Alanah you can't run away from everything!" I scream. Her eyes fill up.
"I HATE YOU ADAM! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HA-"She shuts up when I smack her. With a gasp she falls to the floor. With a gasp I fall against the wall. I didn't mean to do that. She stares at me with wide tear filled eyes then runs up the stairs. I let her.
