OBSESSED
Season 2, Episode 17

##Chris’s POV##

I woke up to a touch. It was still the male person that left the room yesterday.

He looked at me intently before moving away.

He looked pale and stressed, his eyes as red as the last time I saw him

And yes, I think my vision is getting better.

I can see almost clearly now. I think the doctor did a great job.

As I stared right at him, he shifted uncomfortably

“can you see me clearly?” he asked streaking his face

I didn’t answer but looked on at him, following him with my eyes in every move.
Something wasn’t right about him

He got up, so did my eye balls. He walked forward towards the door and turned to me still staring right at him.

I mean why does he feel so uncomfortable staying with me? He touched me, which woke me up and now, seeing me awake makes him frightened. Who does that?

He stood by the door, sighed heavily, muttered some inaudible words and left.

I was dumbfounded. He just acted crazy and went out.

I should have asked him who he was or where I came from.

I don’t even know what happened to me that got me here.
It was all strange and I was uncertain of my situation.

As I thought about the same guy and the situation surrounding my being here at the hospital, my brain flashed on something, it wasn’t as vivid but I know It needed me to remember something, something very important.

It was my turn to furrow my eye brows.
I searched and searched but nothing came up popping.

Just like a situation where you are supposed to say something, perhaps call a name that you are very familiar with but your brain disgraces you, not transmitting any impulse at that crucial moment.

I just kept staring into space, craking my head when the door flew open and the doctor walked in with some nurses

“how are you feeling today mister”

“I’m actually better. I can see clearer now but my head hurts a lot”

“oh yeah. The reason for your loss in memory was due to the fact that you had hit your head against the car which you got into an accident with. But currently, the driver and other occupancies of the said vehicle were no where in sight when you were taken away from there. It seemed someone had purposely left you in the car” he concluded, sitting opposite my bed.

“this is the result from your X-ray test and PV we ran on you yesterday.” He handed me three sheets of paper as if I could perfectly understand
“so what does it say?”

“you have a slight brain damage and we have to operate on you as soon as possible. But we do not expect an immediate recovery of your memory. You’ll have to be exercising your brain by thinking critically, in order to bring back alive your memory senses ” he stood up and checked , my heart rate

“your body is slowly adjusting now, and you are getting better.

I’ll have to take care of other things now, till we meet again” he concluded and walked further away

“please wait doctor”

“yes?”

“how’d you know about the situations surrounding my accident and who’s paying for my bills? It certainly can’t be the other person I saw yesterday?” I asked and the same time told him

“oh of course not. We have your lawyer who’s been on your case. He showed up yesterday when you were asleep and he’s also responsible for unraveling the situations surrounding your accident”

“why am I not seeing him? Can’t he meet me?” I was confused as hell!

“he has a lot to do on your case my dear. He said when he has some spare time, he’d show up.”

“now get some rest. We have scheduled your surgery 3:pm today” he said, holding out to the door knob and dashed out even before I said anything else!

I just stared at him, looked back at my body and it was only now I noticed my bandaged head and upper leg.

##Jade’s POV##

“you’re four weeks pregnant ” the doctor said beaming with smile

But honestly, it came as a shocker.

How on earth do I explain being pregnant?
I’ve had no sex!

“what? I don’t understand doctor” my mother said, looking at the doctor weirdly then turning to me.

The doctor equally changed his expression from smiling widely into a sober state.

It was obvious he didn’t understand why we had reacted the way we did

“the result we conducted on her states so. We did series of tests and it all gave same result. Good thing the baby is okay, I mean you all should count yourself lucky. Not all women go through a terrific ordeal as hers and not get one or two injury in the baby.” He was trying to sound convincing

“although the baby needs extra care at this point. The accident and her mother's lack of proper nutrition might cause constrains later, I’d advice a regular, careful and proper care for the mother onward.”

I just kept mute staring into space. The whole thing were dingling in my ear.

No wonder I fainted many times

No wonder I was devoid of strengths regularly

No wonder I had pains and cramps but I thought I was as a result from the operation I had with Boston about three weeks ago!

How then did a baby grow inside me without me feeling it?

Is Boston responsible for it?
Was I slept with without my knowledge?

All these questions kept burning inside me and for some reasons I wasn't happy

I didn't know why but I felt bitter and sad.

I heard my name again and I snapped out of my trans

It was until then I knew my mum and Lizzy were calling my name all these while

"Do you know anything about this?" My mum asked, looking at me blankly.

I shook my head negativity and turned to look at Lizzy who drew me closer for a hug.

It was then I knew I was already crying. I don't want this baby.

I don't know it's father

I don't know a thing!

I can't remember anything

My God!! Hell no! This can't be happening

I cried more and more not answering any of my mum's numerous questions.

It was just Mum, Lizzy and I in the room so I had my space to do so.

Gibson and the other guy had left hours ago, leaving my paralysed mother and Lizzy with me.

I shook my head negativitely when my brain told me to do a check

"Enough of the checks and mysteries. I'm tired already. My whole life is messed and to top it all, Chris is dead. What am I living for?" I asked my head back, still weeping my soul out....

As hours passed, I had a strong urge to do something but I kept suppressing the thought with the fact that I was pregnant and had a life to either choose to keep or kill.

After all they said I had no womb but how did I get pregnant?

Everything was stupidly confusing.
....
It was already 7:35pm and my mum laid on the extra bed in the VIP room my mum had exclusively for me, with Lizzy on the other side of the room sleeping soundly.

I shrugged up and wore a slipper that was meant for Lizzy

I pulled out the needles connected to the drip and got up from the bed.

I have made up my mind in going to my mum's house to search for the documents she had mentioned.
I had a strong feeling I will find something that can explain at least a small detail of whatever she wanted me to know days back.

As soundprooved as I could, I sneeked out of the room, taking the car keys on the table with me.

I managed to get out of the hospital and pressed the button to recognize mum's car.

I got inside and started the ignition.

With all the strength in me, I vowed to get the documents and nothing can change my direction today. Not even the news of my baby's death was going to stop me from getting into the secret I was entitled to.

I reversed and returned the steering, facing out of the parking lot.
Turned off the GPS tracker and location and drove as speedy as I could....
