Even Though I'm on My Own, I Know I'm Not Alone
010
I went and visited James every day. Praying that he would wake up.
One week later, he finally did.
He stirred slowly, squinting his eyes. "James," I sat at the side of his bed.
"What is this shit?" He said, very hoarsely. I could barely hear him.
"Dann... you got hit by a car when you were going to check the mail. You have a broken leg and you were in a coma for a week. Let me go get your nurse."
They released James to go home that night. He was going to be fucked up on medication.
"Stop being a baby, James. Just take the damn pill."
"Look at the size of that thing! No fucking way!"
"Please take it! I'll take it with you the first time."
"You better not that shit will fuck you up."
"I'm going to take it if you won't."
James didn't respond.
"Fine." I grabbed the bottle and dry-swallowed a large pill.
"You bitch." James followed after me and I smiled.
-------
"So wait, what happened? And where's Brooklyn?" He said on our way home.
"She's with Ben. You went out to get the mail and someone hit you."
"Who?"
I didn't say anything. "What do you want to eat tonight, baby?"
"You didn't answer my question."
"A very drunk Danny."
"NOT ON ACCIDENT?!"
"Please can we just let it go."
"I knew I never should have married you."
I almost slammed on the breaks I was so appauled. "W-what?"
"This marriage was a mistake. It's time for a divorce."
I pulled the car over and turned it off. "We've only been married for a month! Are you serious right now James?!"
"You're the reason I almost died! Tomorrow morning we're going to the court house."
The world was spinning and I felt like I was drowning.
------------
"Bekah, are you okay?" James was shaking me awake.
"James I'm so sorry please don't leave me!"
"What the fuck are you talking about? I'd never leave you!"
"But you said-"
"It was all just a bad dream, love."
"It felt so real, though."
"That's what you get for taking MY medication."
"Do you need anything?"
"No, just go back to sleep."
Now I DEFINITELY couldn't tell James it was Danny. He would divorce me. Because it's my fault.
