OBSESSED
Episode 5

She sat up and scanned the area. It looked familiar. It was still the same hospital but a different ward.

"You lost the baby" a familair voice spoke. Jade turned and saw Boston by the arm chair close to the bed.

"Where did you go?" She managed to ask
"I went to get your drugs" he handed her the drugs
"For how long?" She frowned no buying the idea.
"Why?" He asked, rather softly
"My mum!" She suddenly remembered "I have to go see my mum"

"What happened to her" he asked concerned
"Lizzy called... And.. And" she couldn't remember in details. "I have to call my mum" she said scanning for her phone
"No you won't!" He said authoritatively " I mean, you shouldn't call her yet, you have to gather facts first. What exactly happened to her?"

"Lizzy called and I couldn't pick, i saw a text and she asked me to call back" she replied not knowing why she seemed uncomfortable around Boston this time around.
" then call Lizzy" he suggested with a concerned face
"Right" she replied and dialed Lizzy's contact.

"Hello" she quickly said as the phone was answered.
"Jade I've been trying to reach you. Mum had stroke. We took her already to the doctor."
"What really happened?"
"It was a phone call. She received a call and she got the attack. The call was from an unknown private number. I asked her afterwards what the caller said but she wouldn't say anything"
"A caller?"
"Yeah"
"Ill be coming home tomorrow, make sure you be with her throughout her stay at the hospital"
"Okay"
"I'll be in touch"
"Okay, bye".
The call ended.

"What did she say?" Boston asked but sensed he relunctance in answering
"She said mum had an headache and it was severe, so she rushed her to the hospital"
"Why'd you tell her not to leave her side?"
"No one's gonna be wit her if Lizzy leaves."
"Oh yeah. I get. But you said you'd be going to see your mum tomorrow? Why's it sudden when you just lost your baby?"
"I have to, she's my mum. Besides I haven't seen her in ages."
"I'll drive you there"
"No, there's no need.I'll be fine. Trust me"
"No, I insist"
"Okay, whatever you say" Jade gave up the argument. She knew she would come up with something later.

She got up and stretched her legs. She wasnt feeling heavy anymore. If she was going to act, it should be sudden. She removed the needle stuck into her skin, and pushed the drip aside.
Buston was nowhere to be seen and she cared less. She walked up the door and scanned the room. Went back and took her phone. Removed her uniform and wore Boston's coat she saw on the chair. And exited the area.

He walked down the parking lot to look for her car. Immediately realising she didnt come with any, she made for the road. She still felt pains around her abdomen but the mystery she was currently facing reduced the cramps.

As she walked down the road, she noticed a car trailing behind her. She increased her pace and so did the car. She started running but the car was soon approaching. She ran into the road and ran into a taxi "Go! Go!" She yelled upon entering into the car.
The driver looked at her through the mirror which she knew but she cared less. Her heart rate was high and her breathing; speedy.

She looked behind and saw no car chasing anymore. The taxi seemed to know all the lanes and corners she never knew existed although having spent almost six months in the area.
"There, take that lane" she pointed to a sharp corner which led to Dess's place.

For the first time, she took a peek at the driver and couldn't help but notice how handsome he was although he was clad in a boguous trouser and a blue polo T-shirt which had the inscription "Love New York". He looked handsome but poor. The last type of class she would date. Besides he drives a taxy with a very poor sense of dressing.

She kept on thinking till his voice for the first time was heard, it felt harmonic and extra Nightengale. She drooled at first sentence "is this where you're going miss?"
She kept on drooling till he asked again "miss, is this where you're heading?"

"Oh.. Oh.. Yes yes" she finally found her voice "park there" she said pointing to a parking space.
"Oh my gosh I dont have any money on me. Can i go in and bri..."
"Oh no, don't bother"
"Thank you very much. Can you come pick me up tomorrow? 6am?"
"Sure, here's my contact, call me when you're ready". He said writing his contact on a piece of paper and handing it over to her.
"You don't have a business card?" She asked rather surprised
"Oh no, I don't" he replied shyly. And drove away. She stood there watching as he drove away. She couldn't help but want the conversation going.

She turned slowly and walked up into the compound, closing the door behind her.

TBC. You still confused? Wait till you read more. What's your take so far?
