" Why didn't you tell me??" I said as she walked out of the bathroom
She was silent
" Does he know??" She hook her head slowly
" You should tell him" I brought out the food flask that was in the bag I walked in with
" I will" she looked into the flask as I opened it and brought out a spoon
" Thanks sweetie" I nodded
" It's nothing" I smiled as she put a spoon of rice in her mouth
" How's Jamal doing??" I paused
I forgot about him
" I'll be going there now" she dropped her spoon
" You didn't forgot about him, did you??" I looked at her
" Ofcourse not" I smiled nervously, I did
I stood up
" I'll be back, lemme check on him" I made my way to the door and walked out shutting it behind me
I pulled my phone out of my pocket as I felt it vibrate
" Hey Merissa" I said as I answered the phone
" When did you leave last night??" She asked
" After 12am I think" I entered into the elevator
" What about that cute guy I saw you with??"
" Oh Juan"
" Did you guys hook up??" Hook up ke??
" Ofcourse not"
" Why??" I rolled my eyes
" Isn't he huge??"
" Bad breath??"
" I have a boyfriend Merissa" I entered into Jamal's ward
" I'll call you back, Merissa" I put my phone in my pocket
" Hey Natalie" she waved and smiled back at me
" How's he doing today??" I bent and kissed him on the forehead
" He's okay, his vital signs are okay" I sighed
" When would he wake up??" She looked down
" No idea" she grabbed her tray and walked to the door
" Lemme give you some space"
" Thank you Natalie" I held Jamal's hand and rubbed his forehead
" Oh God, please..." I said a word of prayer before leaving the ward

I rang the doorbell as I got to the Aston's house
" Coming" I heard her mom say as I looked down at my black sneakers
" Good morning Mrs Aston" I walked in as she stepped aside for me to
" Would you like some pie??" She stopped in the hallway
" No thanks" I smiled
" Don't be silly, have some" she walked into the kitchen and walked out minutes later with a tray
" Thank you" I took the tray from her hand
" What are you waiting for?? Take a bite" I picked the fork and took a bite of the pie
" It's delicious" I looked up at her and smiled
" So I heard the serial killer has been apprehended" I nodded dropping the tray on the small table in front of me
" Yes" I lowered my head as I remembered Jenny's death
" Would you like to see her room??" I nodded
" Follow me" I stood up walking behind her

James' POV
" Inmate 5403, you have a visitor" I looked around the cells as we walked to the visiting area
" K.C??" I whispered as I sat down
" Good afternoon" she stared at me
" You look horrible" I smiled
" You don't look bad yourself"
" Is Jamal awake??" She shook her head
" He's still unconscious" she looked away
" K.C, I'm truly sorry" I looked at her closely
" It's fine, I forgave you a long time ago" I sighed and smiled
" Thank you"
" Do me a favor??"
" Yeah??"
" Tell your aunt that I'm truly sorry for everything"
" And please take care of Jamal" I pleaded
" I will" she stood up and walked out of the room
I ran my hand through my hair as tears began to well up in my eyes
I felt a sharp pain in my chest as the police officer leads me back to my room
There's only one thing to do.....
