Chapter 6: Can you hear me?
Disclaimer: AGAIN, I DO NOT OWN MY SO CALLED LIFE
"Angela, Jordan got hit by a car last night. He's in a coma in the hospital. Ricky found out this morning. It's been all over the school. I'm really sorry." Rayane sat next to me in homeroom. I looked at her as though she was completely insane. It was a lie. It was all a stupid dream and Jordan was all right. It was so unexpected. I froze in my seat as Rayane told me what happened. I couldn't look at her. I couldn't even decipher what were the thoughts streaming in my mind at that exact moment. Just yesterday Jordan and me were sitting in his car enjoying the beautiful sunset, next thing he's in a coma in the hospital. "Angela." Rayane shook me out of my thoughts. I looked at her and I turned away. I wanted to be near Jordan. He needed me now more than ever. I wanted to hold his hand and tell him that I'd be with him until the end. That I'll be here waiting for him and that I was never going to let him go. It was all so hard for me to convey. I couldn't even think straight. I wanted to know who hurt him. I wanted to know who was the person who tried to tear us both apart. I got up and Rayane moved away suddenly.
"It was Gregory wasn't it?" He was the only person who could have tried to hurt Jordan. Ricky backed up a little. "I don't know." Ricky looked past me. "Ricky stop lying to me! Was it Gregory?" I felt like punching Ricky. I knew he knew why did he have to keep it from me? "All right it was his posse. They all tried to jump him last night. Jordan was able to get in his car but Chris had pulled him out. They went at it but the cops were already on their way. Gregory got in his car and ran over Jordan. The cops found him and he was in a coma. I'm really sorry Angela. I didn't want to tell you 'cause I knew it would hurt you." Ricky placed a hand on my shoulder but I pulled away. "Which hospital is he in?" I asked coldly. "Um… John Hopkins. But they're not allowing any visitors right now." Ricky replied. "Look I'll find a way. You just keep them busy and I'll find a way in." I grabbed Ricky's arm and we ran out through the back alley of the school. "Angela you sure this is a good idea?" Ricky asked as we ran through bushes and grassy areas. "Trust me all right." I replied as we ran out onto the sidewalk.
"Yes I understand but my grandmother said that she'd be here." Ricky argued with the nurse. "Mister I'm sorry but there is no Flores Marques in this hospital. Try Hopkins's down two blocks." The nurse tried to reason with him. "Look I know my grandmother is in here. Are you trying to keep her in solitary confinement or something?" Ricky said in his Mexican accent. "Look mister Cortez we treat our patients with the uttermost respect. And I will repeat myself your grandmother is not enlisted in this hospital." The nurse was getting aggravated. I stole my chance and sneaked my way onto the third floor. "Okay room 314." I looked around and looked at the numbers on the doors. I was close. I hid in one of the rooms avoiding a nurse walking down the hall. I exited and finally found Jordan's room. I reached his bed slowly. I was so scared to touch him. He lay there with no movement, his eyes closed; it was such a horrible sight. I sat next to him on the bed. I took his hand into mine and kissed it. "Jordan, please I know your okay. Can you hear me?" I whispered. I was just talking to myself. Lying to myself hoping he was alive and well. Who was I trying to fool? I cried and my tears landed lightly against his cheek. "I know you'll come out of this alright. I promise you that those bastards will pay for ever trying to hurt you. I promise you." I held his hand tighter. The monitor continued to beep. My life was stilled in this moment. The moment I held him in arms and comforted him for a change. I never wanted to leave his side.
The last two weeks were completely miserable. I didn't get around to kiss Jordan everyday before heading to my classes. There was no more sneaking around the principal's back. I wanted him to be here with me so bad. It was so hard to try to live with him lying in a hospital bed not responding to my feelings or my touch. I saw Gregory round the corner and I felt the anger boil up inside of me. He saw me and smirked. I walked up to him and looked him square in the eye. "You did this to Jordan didn't you?" I asked. "Oh wait a minute… let me think for a second. I'm not sure try again later." He high-fived Chris and laughed "Look I'm not playing any games. You hurt Jordan and I'm not keep quiet. You're going to regret it." I hissed. "Look Angela… you have no proof of anything. It could have been an accident. Anything could have happened last night." Gregory replied. "But I know it was you. You guys jumped Jordan and then you ran him over. You guys are cruel and disgusting." I felt like smacking Gregory back into time but I kept cool. "Jordan didn't heed my warning so I had to show him. Everything happens for a reason Angela. Maybe next time he'll learn a lesson. Oh wait that's if there's a next time." He laughed and walked off. I hated him so much that it hurt. All because of him I don't know if Jordan will ever be able to stay in my life.
