Chapter 90 Chapter 90
John
The nurses left me and Coop alone with Jojo while they went to call the doctor. I didn’t want to tell Coop this but I think it better they meet under different circumstances. “Coop I think you should go home, take my Maserati I’ll stay here with her.” “I can’t leave her now; besides they think I’m the father.” “Yes, but the OBGYN will know you are not she met Benji.” “Who’s going to stay with her she can’t be alone man.” “I’ll stay; I’ll call Sophia and stay until she’s out of danger.” “You sure I don’t mind.” “She doesn’t know you yet Coop it would be weird for her if someone strange is sitting next to her bed when she wakes up.” “Your probable have a point there, but you will keep me up to date?” “I will I promise.” “Okay you think I should call Benji?” Coop asked me “You stopped me from calling.” “Yes, but then we didn’t know what’s wrong now we do and we can tell him we’ve got this under control.” “Okay will you call him I don’t want to do it here?” “Yes, off course I’ll call him when I get in my car.” “I’ll take an Uber back to the Hotel.” “Are you sure you can take the Maserati Coop I’m sure Sophia will come down here in the morning then we can drive together.” “Okay if you sure?” Coop asked again because he knows how much I love my Maserati. “I’m sure.” I gave him the keys. As he walked out, he stopped “I’m sorry John I should have listened to you.” “All good Coop we all know Olivia fucked you up.” “Yes, but because of my issues she could have ……” “Don’t go there she’s fine, I’ll let you know what the OBGYN says.” “Thanks John.”
When Coop left, I called Sophia “Hi babe what’s going on?” “Jojo is in hospital, she didn’t show up for her shift so Coop and I went to look for her. She was passed out on the living room floor Sophia.” “Oh no what happened? Is the baby okay?” “Don’t know yet waiting for Dr. Young to come but she’s severely dehydrated. I don’t think she’s eaten since Benji left.” “Oh, fuck John what are we going to do?” “We can’t interfere to much love, it seems like Jojo is a very proud individual who wants to be able to stand on her own two feet.” “Well clearly she can’t look after herself.” “Know know how would you feel if you heart get’s ripped out of your chest love.” “Okay I’ll give her this one pass but we need to keep an eye on her, Benji will never forgive us if something happens to her.” “I know love I know. I’m going to stay at the hospital until she’s awake, okay?” “Yes, please I’ll come in tomorrow morning go past her place maybe pick up some clean cloths for her.” “Thanks’ love.” “Love you.” “Love you more.”

I drove John’s Maserati like and old man, slow. I couldn’t believe that Olivia has done this to me, letting someone else lay on the fucking floor for who knows how long and severely dehydrated. If it wasn’t for Olivia, I would have told John to go and have a look when she wasn’t at work at 6 already, I wouldn’t have waited until 7:30 for God sakes. I couldn’t believe one woman could make me loose faith in all women. I got to the Hotel eventually, when I got out of the Maserati the valet looks at me funny. “Yes, it’s your boss’s car can you get mine please.” “Yes, off course Sir.” I didn’t go back into the Hotel I waited for my car, when my Audi Q8 came around the corner I could hear it. I loved my car. Yes, the Maserati was nice and if I was in a better space I would have driven that car like I always wanted to but tonight I was upset with myself and I was upset with Olivia all over again.
When I eventually got home it was 11 pm I didn’t know if I should call Benji but I decided if I don’t do it now I’m not going to do it at all. I dialed his number he answered on the first ring. “What’s wrong?” He asked answering the phone. “Did I wake you?” I asked. “Coop what is wrong?” “Jojo is in the hospital.” “What the fuck? What happened? Should I come down?” “Calm down Benji.” “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down is she okay? Is the baby okay?” I was shocked that he even cared about the baby her yes but the baby. “She’s fine…” He interrupted me again “She wouldn’t be in the hospital if she’s fine Coop.” “When last did you sleep?” We knew each other very well we might not have seen each other for a long while but certain things never change and if Benji don’t sleep he get’s angry very quickly. “Never mind that tell me about Jojo.”
She’s severely dehydrated it seems like she didn’t eat or drink since you left.” “Oh God no.” “She was sick before I left, she vomited a lot that’s why I called you and told you to not give her any rich food with butter and that kind of things.” “Well, when she didn’t come to work, we went looking for her when I looked through the window, I saw her passed out on the floor so I kicked the door in. John and I rushed her to the hospital. She’s on a drip now and John is waiting for the OBGYN to come and have a look at the baby.” “Oh my God I knew I should have never left her; I shouldn’t have listened to her.” “Benji calm down we will sort this out.” “How I didn’t even introduce you to her how are you going to help with this Cooper this was never something I prepared for.” “Benji you couldn’t have prepared for this you didn’t know how she would react when you are gone.” “I know but I should have.” “Don’t put this on you.” “Well, I am, I should have left her with a better support system. I’m coming down.” “Benji no you are not coming down. Go to bed sleep for fuck sakes and then you will realize coming here will be a big mistake, because you will have to leave again and the cycle will start all over.” “Fuck, Fuck your probable right.”
