After their mom passing and finding out their father Pastor Lucas Katz has stage four lung cancer, considering he's never smoked a day in his life my heart just goes out to him and his family. I check my messages also to get a few from Katie the administrator of my nursing home wondering if I needed a plus on to the ball. She's been after me from the moment she first laid eyes on me, but if it's not business we don't need to talk. I guess Ryan starts to get impatient cause he began to rush me but I can't think straight. I got a million things going threw my head and over half is ways of torturing and killing Janette's no good ass uncle, yo own fuckin blood that's f****d up. ***** Cloe POV ***** Two 2019 Lincoln Black Label L Navigators pull in to my drive in infinite black metallic Jarrod steps out of one and Ryan the other, Kee screeches loud as fuk in my ear " You lyin ! He mus have real big money Ima enjoy tanite." she runs out and begins inspecting the inside " Aw s**t jus let me have this one you aint even gone miss it." I laugh at my friend asking "Then how would you explain a whole SUV to Breshia?" I see Jarrod stiffen up once I said this. He cleared his throat and asked if we where ready to go. Jarrod was giving me weird vibes plus he just kept staring at me as if I was some kind of mystical being or sum s**t, Ryan an Kee been pulled off an we jus here. "Aye man we gone go or fukin not?" I bawl out. "Oh yeah." he let out as if snapping out of a trans. We drove in silence for the most part then he opens his mouth to say something but decides against it, Kee called to inform me that they had made it to the private jet  we was taking to Washington for the ball. As we make our way threw the traffic light a passion red Escalade ran the light T-boning us, everything seemed to go in slow motion. After hitting us the escalade drove off, I reached into my purse grabbed my phone and called emergency services. Jarrod was not moving at all and the door was crushed into his side I was praying hard right now for god not to take him, I heard sirens an saw the lights flashing. I got out and was screaming for help police and EMTs were everywhere. One EMT tried to nurse the cut on my head and I fanned him away I'm fine it's Jarrod he needs help I'm crying at this point. Once they got him out of the Navigator an onto the stretcher I felt myself let out a breath I was apparently holding. They allowed me to ride in the ambulance with him and I held his hand the whole time, we arrived at the hospital and they rushed him from the E.R to the O.R and I stood there helpless just crying. I didn't even notice that a man had walk up next to me, he introduced himself as Joshua Quin. He asked me what happened and I told him everything I could remember and he left. I called Kee to let her an Ryan know what had happened after that I just sat in silence. After 5 hours one of the doctors came to inform me that everything had gone fine and Jarrod was being moved to recovery, I let out a yelp and collapsed on the floor. Kee and Ryan was walking in and they ran over to assist me up, Kee wrapped her arms around me and we stayed that way for a while until they said we could go back to see Jarrod. He was just laying there still unconscious I caress his cheek an started to cry all over again, commotion from outside his room grabs my attention I go over to open the door to see Kee and what I assume to be Breshia. We stand there looing at one another and then Bre says "J-j-janette?" I turn to go back to Jarrod's side  "It's Cloe" I say over my shoulder. Jarrod grimace in pain an I hurried my pace to him, "Are you ok you need a nurse"  I utter barley making a sound. His eyes flutter open and he squeezes my hand then slowly releases it. "Hey" Bre speaks and he looks over to her, then around the room an back to me. I lean down and kiss him softly "Don't ever scare me like that again " I say looking sternly into his eyes. "I won't" he finally spoke. It's been three weeks and today Jarrod gets to go home from the hospital, I've basically been to myself today. Making my last rounds still distracted I bump into Katie "Ah Cloe how are you. I didn't ask how your vacation was." "It was fine " I told her and walked off. After work I drove straight to the hospital and ran the whole way to Jarrod's room, he was dressed and standing. I walked up and embracing  him and kissing him not noticing anyone in the room, "Cloe?" came a voice I turn to see a fuming Katie Miles. "What are you doing here?" I questioned "I can ask you the same " she shot back not even caring to mask her anger. "We're not going to do this here" Jarrod speaks up "Oh my god !" I yell turning to leave he reached for me missing by just inches "CLOE" he calls after me and I speed up I can't believe how stupid I am. I should have known he wasn't single and lord my administrators man at that. "s**t I'm fired" I say out loud to myself.    I've been trying to hold on to my identity with everything in me, Moe has been trying to desperately get out not only that I can feel something else its real faint but I can feel it. My phone rings and its Jarrod again and I send it straight to voicemail again., beating on my door starts "I know you in there" Jarrod declared "Then you should know I don't want anything to do with you" I say through the door. "Let me in " he says hitting the door "Go the f**k away before I call the police" I bellow  " Okay fine I'll leave." he said sadly " I do love you" he whispered before walking off. Next day work seemed to drag on for ever thank god Katie was out at meetings with home office, but to my surprise I was paged to the administrators office by an unknown voice. I make my way to the office when I step in I see and turn to walk out he grabbed me and the girl that paged me walked out. "Listen to me" he said roughly I stood in silence awaiting his explanation "All I meant was I didn't want you ladies to start an argument at the hospital Katie is a good friend and a hell of an employee, I own this nursing home- I cut him off . " That may be so but either you have something going on or she wants something more and this is my job, my livelihood I don't need a reason fa hu fake ass to be breathing down my back or better yet fire me" he looks me in the eyes  "I understand" he leans down to kiss me an I back up "No this is over completely over!" I go to leave "Please Cloe don't do this" he says softly "Sorry it's already done." I leave out closing the door behind me, I could feel the steam off my face and the tears rolling. My shift was ending so I go straight to the clock I didn't even wait for Kee I hurried to my car and left on to wheels.  I was so upset I didn't even notice I was being followed, pulling up in my drive I get out an proceed to my door. Someone grab me from behind hand over my mouth and drag me to a car then throw me in the trunk I couldn't scream or anything but my mind was racing so when the stress got to be to much I blacked out.
