Teach Me CHAPTER 33
"I missed you..." I said to myself as I was driving the streets of Detroit. Mike was right. Detroit is empty, City of ghosts. Only ruins remained. My memories started going up when I was driving by 12th street, where my favorite bookstore was, but now? There's nothing. Now there's some Rosa Park Boulevard. After that, my eyes started filling up as I turned for 8 mile road. My home.I was thinking... Will people there know me? Will they remember that small blonde who was always playing outside her house with a soccer ball? Or they remember me as a little hooligan who was running the streets with a few black friends and some punks from Salem's lot? Maybe they don't remember me at all. Who knows?"Hell-o?" My voice trembled as I answered my phone. I cough and repeated again. "Hello?""Jess? Are you ok?" Hannah sounded worried."I'm fine just... You know... I haven't been here for so long... Everything is different..." I said with tears in my eye

“Thank you for coming…” John said weakly when we broke our hug.“Always…” I said as I smiled weakly, caressing his strong shoulder."I am sorry about the other day I-""You weren't yourself." I Interrupted him. He didn't say anything back, he just adjusted his posture, as well as I.I stood beside him as people came to voice their condolence. Each and every one of them looked at me first, gave hand and a small weak smile, and then repeated their gesture when they looked at John. They probably think we are still together. Perhaps, they are asking themselves do we have babies. Well, if John wasn't an idiot, by now, we would have two or three small babies running around our big front yard in our suburban neighborhood. Why are you even thinking about this?“What's wrong?” John whispered so people won't hear us. He is probably thinking about why I'm shaking my head. Oh my if he knew I was thinking about us married.

"Hello?" I said weakly as my phone rang.Just to make things clear, John said he loves me. He wants me to admit I love him back.But what should I say?On the one side, John was my first love, my first everything. I gave him all I had. He was my entire life. But he ruined all that with his cheating. Above all that, I had a best time with him. We were perfect together. From kinder garden, throughout high school, until college, we had just one fight. And that was because of that waitress he hooked up with. I couldn't convince myself to move on, to stop loving him.Mike on the other hand, in this year since we are together, he lied to me so many times! Those lies were huge! If I knew he was married, I wouldn't start with him, not in a million years! I can't lie, Mike is the type of a guy every girl would kill to have. Classy, macho, gentleman, smart, sexy, you would be taken care of for the rest of your life, and he has everything. I love t

*JOHN'S P.O.V.*She is going to be ok right?!” I asked one small nurse who was cleaning me from Mike's claws.“Don't worry about her, she is in the safest hands.” That small nurse smiled widely to me, making me feel brave.After that selfish, stupid jerk burst into miss. Franklin's house, I thought he will knock the shit out of me. Unfortunately, he didn't. He could, but I have muscles too!Anyway, I think Jessica was too soft and too weak to watch us fight so she fainted. Oh Jessica… My Jessica…While I waited for that nurse to come clean the rest of my wounds, I remembered that time when I first saw her.I met her outside my house, she was perfect as my best toy I had that times! She was wearing pure white dress with small flowers on it. She was always in those ponytails on both sides, with messy yet classy blond, long hair. Gorgeous. I think we were 5, maybe 6 years

“John?” I said weakly as I woke up.I can't remember anything. How did I get here? Where the hell is Mike and why is John here? Does Hannah know I am here? “I am here baby.” John said weakly, hugging me tightly. I got dizzy and weak, but I didn't want to break this hug. I hate to admit this, but I do have feelings for him.“John…” I wanted to ask him something.“I don't know where Mike is and I already called Hannah.” John said getting a little upset in mention of Mike. We broke our hug and I lay down again, sadly.“I wanted to ask you something else.” I said nervously. He looked at me and my body froze. His face looks so wounded, all covered up in bandages and strapping.“You know you can ask me everything.” John said calmly.“Why are you here?” I asked nervously. “You know…” He said looking away. I tried to catch his eyes but he kept looking away. I sighed deeply and I closed my eyes.“You love me.” I said barely audible after few moment

“Jess?” I heard Hannah's voice. After half an hour I finally got some sleep and now she's waking me up.“Humm?” I said still half-sleeping as I turned myself on the other side of my comfy bed. “Someone is here to see you.” Hannah said quietly. I rubbed my eyes and I stretched like never before! I felt a little pain in the area where my wound is but I wanted to stretch so badly!“What time is it?” I said strongly after stretching. “Morning, 6 am.” Hannah said quietly as she shook me gently.“What?” I said as I sat up in my bed. The second I sat up, I saw a strong man in suit standing in front of me. Until I could see clearly, all I saw is big silhouette standing with arms crossed on its chest and his perfect muscular body. Of course, Armani black suit and perfectly white shirt, white as his shiny teeth. I couldn't see if he's mad or happy to see me, all I felt was he's here to lecture me. I know that because that is how m

Two weeks passed since Mike and I broke up. It's been hard but I made through few Latin classes without crying inside.John and I didn't talk since that day he drove me home from Detroit. Maybe he don't miss me at all…It is Sunday morning and I am laying on my bed, thinking about my daddy's offer. Thinking about how will Hannah accept it and react.Oh, I will miss her... *Flashback*“Baby girl?” I heard a familiar voice calling me from the hall.“I'm in the room, daddy!” I yelled back, lifting myself from the bed. I was still recovering from Mike's words. After he left, I was still crying until I realized it is meant to be this way. We would never work out; we were from too different world.I know, if this is some movie, we would live happily ever after, regardless of our age difference, his ex wife, child and his behavior. But this is real world. Were you can experience real conseq

“Mike knows?” Hannah asked me after I told her the whole story about me leaving and why.“No. I think. I don't care.” I said too quickly.“Jessica, please. You can't lie.” Hannah rolled her eyes and I sighed.“Why didn't you tell him? He has a right to know…” George said wanting to be part of our conversation.“Right to know?” Hannah looked at George angrily and he backed off.“Sorry. I just…” George started explaining but I interrupted him.“It's fine George. He will know when I won't be on Latin class next week.” I said quietly.“Do you miss him?” Hannah asked calmly. I sighed deeply and I stayed quiet for a while.“No. I don't miss him, I miss how he made me feel sometimes…” I said quietly…“Yea, when he didn’t lie.” Hannah rolled her eyes. I nodded and looked the other way.“What about that other guy, umm, John?” George asked.“I didn't heard from him since he left me her

"What the hell?" Hannah repeated herself because we ignored her the first time."What are you doing here?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes, still ignoring Hannah."Well, since you're not answering me, I came to make sure my girlfriend is still alive." Mike said coldly, clenching his jaw."As you see, I am so..." Filled with anger, I rolled my eyes."Can we talk?" He asked, slowly yet strongly grabbing my arm. I flinched, feeling pain. Hannah was just standing there, confused as she can be."Not a place or time Mike." I said firmly but I was visibly scared and that annoyed me. I shouldn't be afraid of him, I don't have a reason for that. Right?"Something happened?" He asked me, now looking genuinely concerned and confused. Then it hit me. He doesn't have a clue that I overheard his conversation. How could I be so stupid and let my emotions get the best of me?"We will talk later okay?" I said as my face softened. He looked at me, one eyebrow up, still mad. He growled under his voice an

"Sleepyhead..." I heard a soft voice near me. Air smelled like our toothpaste and mix of herbs from Hannah's shampoo. Although I smiled lightly, knowing it was her, I still didn't want to wake up."Nooo..." I whined and turned on the other side. Hannah smiled and leaned on me, sighing deeply."When did you even got home last night?" She asked, still on my body. I moaned, not happy with that. "I know what will make you got up." She said, slowly getting up. I moaned again, feeling lighter and relieved that I can just roll over on the other side of my bed, completely ignoring her. Realizing it wasn't the smartest move as she grabbed my legs and started pulling me out, I started laughing."Stoooop, leave me in peace!" I managed to mumble as she continued to pull me up. I tried to budge but I couldn't. How the hell is she so strong?!"I got engaged!" Hannah exclaimed, finally letting me go."What?!" I lifted my head so rapidly, the whole room started spinning! She was screaming and jumping

My head was at the verge of blowing up like the ones in cartoons. There was too much information I needed to cope, too deafening sounds, everything was spinning. Me, the room, everything! I felt numb and over-touched, cranky, mad, all feelings you could think of and none of them in the same time. I didn't even knew until now that that's possible.My shift ended vaguely, honestly I'm happy I didn't kill anybody! All I could think is how I will eventually go home and tell Hannah everything what was heavy on my crazy noggin.Darla didn't say anything for the rest of our shift. I could only imagine what's in her head now, poor girl...I got a text from Hannah asking if I'm ready for our date night. I was more then ready but I wanted to do one more thing before I head home."Hi you..." John's head lifted up when he saw me entering his room. "Did I woke you up?" I asked, carefully closing the door. I stood by them as my legs wouldn't let me come closer to him for some reason."I won't bite

"What the hell is going on?!" I yelled a little bit louder than I expected. Few doctors that was passing by with patients looked at me concerned. I brushed it off. Soon enough, my mom will hear about this, but I can't deal with this now."Dr.Miller." Veronica called my name in so calming voice, my anger vanished in thin air. I slowly turned around. She looked at me, smiling acidly, slightly tilting her head."I'm sorry." I said to her. She didn't say anything, she just shrugged her shoulders and smiled. I felt bad for not knowing how to control. "Let's continue this in my office, shall we?" I asked, faking a smile and politeness so we don't draw any more attention. I felt eyes all over me as patients and hospital staff were suddenly walking slowly, trying to catch a glimpse of our conversation. Miller's daughter causing the drama. Big news. Darla and Delia both started walking behind me as I tried to go into my office as soon as possible. My head was spinning really fast and I felt l

"She is fine!" Mr.Bhat said after he stopped hugging us. "She is fine thanks to you doctor Miller and you doctor Care." He said, closing his palms and bowing to us. Ann's surname is Care? Why does that sounds familiar? I quickly brushed off that for now, I can't be dealing with that too. I smiled politely to Mr.Bhat, bowing to him, as he did to us."You don't have to thank us for that Mr.Bhat, we did our best." I said firmly. I was so proud of myself, so fulfilled, so good about myself! We saved that girl's life! "She is sleeping now." Mr.Bhat said, approaching Ada's bed. He slowly and gently caressed her hair and smiled. He looked peaceful. "You don't need to wake her up, we will just do a little checkup." I said as I grabbed a pen out of my uniform. I checked her temperature, it was 36.6 Celsius which is quite normal. Excellent."She may feel dizzy or groggy as she come around from general anaesthetic." I said to him, caressing her hand. "We will check her blood pressure regularly.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Darla quickly came beside me after Dr.Stepford and me started walking towards Nina's room. I rolled my eyes when I looked at her but I didn't want to say anything."Dr.Miller?" Dr.Stepford raised his glasses while we walked and looked me dead serious. "Are you going to let your intern be late?" He smirked. "I want 20 pages on AIDS research. By tomorrow morning." I stated seriously. Dr.Stepford chuckle a bit, sounding like a teenage girl. I bet he was amused by this as he probably remembered some of my mom's situation again and how much I do look like her. I smiled to myself and I was proud how I quickly got an idea for Darla's punishment but I put on my straight face instantly. Darla didn't say anything, she was probably too scared.I promise I won't be so hard on her once she toughen up a bit. She can't be soft, not on Pediatric, let alone Pediatric surgery. In Africa, I had a resident who was so strict, my hair would go up when I remember her. But she was fair

We kept walking until she stopped us in front of the door, right next to John's room. What is her plan? We will easdrop? I hope not! Hannah looked at both directions and slowly opened the door in front of us. I was confused."What are you doing?" I whispered to Hannah, hoping she will hear me. She just smiled and continue with her plan. We entered a patient's room, an old lady seemed to be sleeping. I looked puzzled as I was looking around her room, trying to figure out Hannah's thoughts. Hannah turned over to me and rolled her eyes."This is Elenore. She is in a coma. Come." She said that bluntly, like we do that on our daily basis, like this, whatever this is is normal."Hannah." I exclaimed quietly, yet strongly enough for her to stop. She looked at me again, now confused like I'm the one who's crazy. I couldn't help but smile."She won't hear us, what?!" She asked, opening her arms towards me in isn't-it-obvious way. I shook my head and smiled. I might just let go all my question

I went to the park. I managed to stay calm and cool long enough so I can walk and sit ona n empty bench. I felt exhausted. I felt really worned out for some reason like all my energy went somewhere else. I started feeling nauseated. Why? I don't even know what I heard! Did Mike and his Gorilla killed someone? At least tried to?! I shook my head in disbelief because I just knew, all of this sounds so ridiculous and unreal. I tried to comprehend all of that information. That can't be right, I heard something wrong and I made some scenario in my head, I surely misheard."You are being stupid, Jess." I said barely audible to myself. I was looking around me as I tried to calm my nerves. There was just a few people in the park but the weather was nice. Small, sweet breeze was calmly blowing making leaves do a little song of their own. That calmed my mind a little. I noticed small children and I heard their giggles while they run towards their parents. That made me smile! I started feeling

I did it again. I gave in. I have managed to disappoint me one more time. How can I be so weak, just how many times I have to hurt myself with what is so wrong yet it feels so damn good?"Sex isn't supposed to be an answer." I said after I buttoned up the last button on my shirt. He was already done."I know." He simply said, repairing his Rolex."So why are we doing that?" I asked, sitting down. "Do what? I want you. Isn't that enough?" He looked at me puzzled. I was stunned by the fact that he doesn't seem to see the real problem is. "No, Mike. Sometimes it's not." I said standing up. Why am I suddenly feel angry? I am to blame here, I let him manipulate me one more time. He just used that so well! "What is your problem Jessica?" He exclaimed. I backed off a little. "What do you want?" He raised his voice. I narrowed my eyes and sighed deeply. To be honest, I don't know what I want. "I want you. But not just sex. I want the whole package! Conversation, going on a trip, go to par
