Chapter 4 The Timely Rebirth

Jaylene

"Fuck them, fuck them all, fuck their dirty assess! They can suck my dick for all I care," I kick my feet angrily, my rage flaring!

I made my way through the private garage as Peterson and Laura led the way.

"Sir, I know you want to go to the hospital but I don't think it's a good idea. There will be reporters waiting for you there. Please you have to find somewhere to hide , leave the City, maybe until all this heat dies down."

"Why should I hide? I didn't do anything wrong!" I yelled, my voice cracking, "Take me to the hospital right now or hand me the car key!"

They didn't argue any longer.

Soon, I'm arriving at the hospital through a private entrance and a private elevator.

A security guard who probably hasn't seen the news yet helped me avoid the reporters until I was standing outside my grandmother's ward.

The nurses won't let me see her.

"Please wait out here, this is the emergency room, you can't go in!"

"Mr Jaylene please listen to us, you can't go in!"

"I don't want to hurt the both of you but I will, if you both don't let me pass this door minute!"

"I'm sorry you can't...!"

The door beeps open as the doctor steps out, taking off his glasses.

"Young master, it's bad," The doctor said, his words are careful, "Her brain shows no sign of activity and I have to conclude that she is in a comatose state. She has to stay here for further observation."

No

"No, no, let me see her," I swallow, shaking my head in disbelief.

This can't be happening, no, no!

"I want to see her, doctor! Let me see her doctor, please...!"

"Why are you disturbing the peace of this place? This is the hospital for crying out loud! Take your faggot ass elsewhere, Jay!"

I turn around to Cain's taunting voice. He wears a mirthful smile on his face, his eyes glinting victoriously.

"Did you do this?" I walked towards him, my fist clenched.

"Do what? Fuck you? Hell no!" He spits to the side, "Shit disgusting as horse shit and only suitable for someone like you!" He smirks, "Do you really think you could continue lying to that witch? She doesn't believe shit about you and she only needed to see it for herself! Her heart couldn't even handle it, weak piece of shit, acting all mighty because she is the head of this fucking family!"

I punched Cain across the face, aiming right for his nose, breaking it under my fist.

"Fuck shit!" He punched me back, my ears vibrating with my vision going blank for a few seconds.

He doesn't stop, he continues smacking my face with his fist.

I swallow the pain, hitting him back as soon as I can until Peterson gets in between us, pushing me away. The doctor pushes Cain backwards as well.

"This is the hospital! This is so inappropriate for the patients and the medical conductions! Please, if you want to fight, take it out of the hospital premises," The doctor voiced his disappointment, his tone firm.

Cain chuckles, fixing his shirt, "Don't worry doctor," Cain pulls out a paperwork from his pocket, "This is from the City police, signed by the deputy commissioner himself! This is a restraining order against Jaylene. He is not allowed to go close to my grandmother until further notice. So I advised you to call the security to throw him out of the building right now."

"You heard the young master, call the security immediately," The doctor glares at the nurses who hurried out.

I spit out blood, feeling drowsy at all these things happening to me at once.

"Fuck this shit," I cried out, tears running down my temple as I glare at the paper in Cain's hand and then at his face, "Fuck you, fuck you because you will never be me you drug head, fuck you!"

"Young master, enough," Peterson tries to drag me out but I push him away.

"Give me the car key."

"No, young master, you can't drive in this state. Let me drive you please!"

I give him a backhand slap, my own ear drumming.

Peterson holds his cheek, looking at me with surprise.

"The car key, now!"

"Young master..." He hesitated before putting the remote key in my palm. I looked at all of them before I rushed out.

Fuck all of you!

I pulled out my phone and called my boyfriend Lucas.

He must be very saddened about this news! This was supposed to be a good day for me, a good day for us.

He must be very sad to see our sex tape leak to the world.

He doesn't pick up the call.

He always picks up my calls at the second ring, latest.

I call him again but he doesn't pick up.

I got in the car and continued calling him but no matter how many times I called him, he didn't pick up my calls.

He must be very shocked and sad.

I sent him a voicemail, "I know you must be very sad but we need to talk! We need to see, we need each other right now more than ever."

But then... a thought comes to my mind.

What if Lucas was the one that videotaped us?

But he is not the type, he will never do something as low as this.

And I was with him all through the time, we even went to the bathroom together. We were so glued together. When could he have had the time to do something as sinister as this even if he was the one?

No it can't be!

I called him again and he didn't pick up!

I yelled, throwing my phone at the passenger seats.

I turn on the car and drive out, heading to the one place that can cure all sorrows.

The bar, which I drank, getting myself plastered drunk. I ignored those pointing their fingers at me, taking videos of me.

I drink quietly, my tears uncontrollably flowing down my cheeks as I don't know... I don't understand... Where did it all go wrong?

Tonight was supposed to be my night!

This is not... this is not what I had planned! How did it come down to this?

Everyone knows... How will I show my face in public again?

How will I ever face myself again?

I continue drinking, when the music hits me. I get on my feet and begin dancing to the rhythm, swaying my waist, twerking with the bottle of whiskey in my hand.

I didn't know how long I was dancing for because I'm feeling a tap on my shoulder.

"Sir, we are closed."

I turn around and grab the waiter's collar, "Bring me more bottles and drink with me!"

"Sir, please, you are drunk. Do you have any family members I can call to pick you up?"

"Do you know who I am? When I tell you, bring me more bottles, you do just as you are told!"

"I'm sorry, Sir, but you need to go home. We are closed. If you do not comply I will have the guards throw you out."

I cringed at him, disgusted by his antics, "You are not fun."

I stumble outside and after a long minute, I finally reach my car.

I'm about to open the door but I retch up instead, falling on my knees as I throw up everything in my stomach, my eyes blurry.

The acidic taste on my tongue churns my stomach even more.

I drag myself up and push myself into the car.

I hit the steering wheel with my fists, screaming, yelling, blowing honks in the neighborhood as my frustration tears me into pieces.

"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why me?" I turned on the engine and drove into the asphalt, "Where did it go wrong? Who did it? Lucas, Cain... Who the fuck did this!"

I don't have many enemies who would want to ruin my life and my career in just one night.

I step on the accelerator, speeding as laughter erupted from my throat, my eyes dark, everything passing in a blur.

I continue to speed off, realising how much of a failure I am. Unaware of the truck driving at a full speed towards me.

I yelled out, turning the steering wheel to avoid the truck but I was already too late because the big vehicle was bashing into my car.

My head spins as my car somersaults on the asphalt.

The windshield shatters, the shards go into my eyes, my face, my whole body.

I couldn't tell where I was feeling pain from because it was cutting through my body in all directions.

However, I was beginning to fall into a sleep... a sleep so peaceful and eternal.

Until I heard an unfamiliar voice calling out to me.

"Jaylene, Jaylene, Jaylene, stay with me."

I have never heard this voice before. I want to open my eyes but I can't.

I want to answer his call but I can't.

This sleep lures me... I should follow the darkness ahead of me but then I feel a set of sharp fangs sink into my neck, cutting deep into me, sending an enormous excruciating current of pain through my body.

The pain is so radical, burning my bloodstream... I couldn't...

I couldn't...

I couldn't breathe until I gave into the darkness that immediately swallowed me up.
