John
It was 6:30 pm and no sign of Jojo. I didn’t get the impression she would stand me up on her first shift. It just feels off. But I’m not going to worry yet, maybe she got lost maybe there was an accident on the high way, there can be multiple reasons why she’s late. I decided to stay in the bar area just to make sure she does turn up. At 7 pm the only person that came like clock work through that door was Coop. “Hi man what you doing behind the bar?” Coop asked me. “Hi Coop. Jojo hasn’t come to work yet and her shifts starts now.” “Oh, fuck I knew it.” Coop was very skeptical when it came to women. “I knew she would drop you, I knew she wouldn’t be able to work behind a bar for God sakes, have you seen her socials, it’s just her with designer bags, designer clothing and all the pageants she won.” “Coop everyone is not Olivia; I’m telling you something is wrong.” “Yes, something is wrong Benji asking us to look after her, fuck what is that about? I never thought in my whole life I would see Benji so in love.” “Well Jaden that is suppose to tell you something, this girl is different.” “All the girls are the same.” Coop said raising his hand to the barman for his usual. “I’m going to give her until 8 then I’m calling Benji.” “No don’t call him he needs to get on with his life, if she’s not here by 8, we can go to her apartment and then when she’s lounging in front of the TV I can tell you I told you so.” “You haven’t met her Coop so until you do, keep your sinical commentary to yourself.” He took a sip of his Macallan and looked around the place. My eyes were stuck on the entrance 7:30 I told Coop “No I’m having a bad feeling let’s go.” “Let me finish my drink first.” “I’m going with or without you Coop.” “Yes fine.” He left his glass because who downs a Macallan.
We got in my Maserati and drove to Jojo’s flat, the whole way there I was looking for accidents or someone walking. “You really worried.” Coop catches on eventually. “Yes, if you met her, you would have been worried as well Coop. She needs this job if she wants to pay rent, when Benji told you her parents cut her of he mend it, she has a few grand as savings but that is it, nothing more.” “Why isn’t Benji helping her if he loves her so much?” “Because she doesn’t want his help.” We stopped at her apartment; I got out as quick as I could and ran to the door. “Jojo.” I knocked and called out. “Jojo it’s John are you there.” Coop walked around and looked through the windows “Jojo!” I called out again. “Oh fuck” I heard Coop say. Then he came running towards me and without a word kicked the door in.
Jaden Cooper
I didn’t know why John was so worried it’s just another rich girl that doesn’t want to work that’s all. But I went with him just to tell him I told him so when we found her watching TV or doing her nails. But as we approached the apartment my stomach made some weird turns and it wasn’t from the one drink or that I haven’t eaten yet, something felt wrong. While John was knocking on the door I was peaking through the windows. When I looked through the kitchen window I couldn’t see much, I walked to her bedroom and what I saw almost gave me a heart attack she was lying on the ground passed out. All I said was “Oh fuck” I didn’t think twice kicking down her doo. As soon as the door was open, I rushed in to where she was lying on the ground. “Fuck John she’s out.” She opened her eyes and looked at me “Benji you came back.” I didn’t say a word clearly, she was confused. “We should call an ambulance” John said as I picked her up. “No time we taking her.” John made a call as we walked out of her apartment me carrying her and Jojo opening her eyes and then closing it again. “Her heartbeat is fast John you need to drive fast.”
When we got to the hospital I rushed into the Emergency Room with her in my arms. I screamed at the nearest nurse “She pregnant we found her passed out in her flat.” “Are you the father?” I knew if I said no, they wouldn’t allow me near her so I lied “Yes I was away for the week.” “Bring her in.” I carried her to the bed where they started to take her pulse which was going 100 miles per hour. They looked into her eyes and looked at her skin. “She’s severely dehydrated.” Fuck. I heard John trying to get into the room when I walked out. “His with me.” “You can only be one.” “His with me let him in.” I told the nurse again. When she eventually saw, I wasn’t going to back down I told John “She’s severely dehydrated. I don’t think she’s been eating or drinking since Benji left.” “Fuck” “My thoughts exactly I told them I’m the baby’s father for them to let me in.” “Well, that was fast thinking.” When I looked at Jojo again, I could see why she won all those pageants even dehydrated and in a hospital bed she was beautiful. They were busy trying to get a needle in her but they were sticking the needle in and then took it out, it looked like it hurt. “What are you doing?” I asked after the 4th time they tried. “We need to get the needle in her to give her fluids through a drip and with the dehydration all her veins have fallen flat.” I started to look on her other arm when I saw a faint vein. “What about this one?” The nurse came and tried and got it in, thank God. “We need to get an OBGYN in to have a look at the baby does she have one yet?” It was John who stepped forward “Yes Dr. Young.” The nurse looked confuses “I’ll give her a call thanks.”
