All Chapters of Second Chance: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Mayson I can hear beeping sounds and voices, but I feel like weights are holding me down. I cannot seem to move or even open my eyes. I don’t remember much other than I could hear Holden’s voice trying to wake me up. Was it all a dream that I can’t seem to shake off? I want to scream but it feels like something is blocking my mouth and keeping me silent. Everything else is a blur. It feels like a memory that I cannot quite grasp, it is just out of reach. My head is hurting. I wish I could remember what happened. Did I have a car accident on the way home? I remember the romantic dinner and proposal from Holden. I know that I said yes. I know that his ex-girlfriend showed up. After that I can’t figure out what happened. I want to wake up. I want to see Holden’s face. I can feel people around me. Someone is adjusting something on my face. Whatever it is hurts. I want so badly to slap their hand away. The amount of frustration I am feeling right now is really starting to piss me off.

How is Mayson still breathing? I know that I got interrupted when Holden came home, but I had done a lot of damage to her prior to that. But she is lying in a coma in the hospital instead of being in the ground. The police were so incompetent they couldn’t even keep Holden in jail. I had planned everything so perfectly and they screwed it up. I am going to have to make changes to my plan. Mayson is still going to have to die. I just have to figure out exactly how that is going to happen. She is never alone in the hospital. Either her parents are Holden are holding vigil at her bedside. I am pissed at Seth, because he has been visiting her as well. Maybe I can go in to see her. If I can be alone in her room long enough, maybe I can turn off her ventilator long enough to cause permanent damage. If the bitch won’t die, then maybe she can be in a coma for the rest of her life. That may be even a better plan. Instead of a quick end to her life, the suffering could last forever. Her paren

It has been a hard few weeks since Mayson has been in the hospital. Holden had to spend a night in jail. The district attorney wanted him charged with assaulting Mayson and putting her in a coma. He even went so far as to trying to take out a charge of attempted murder, but the judge would not sign off on it. He stated there was no evidence of any previous violence in their relationship. He told the district attorney if he could bring concrete proof of malicious intent, he would reconsider the charge of attempted murder. It is still touch and go with her because she is still in a coma. Martha and James Cole are keeping a vigil at her side every day. They are letting Holden see her, thankfully. At first they would not let him stay unless one of them was there. They know that he would never do anything to hurt her, but they did not want to leave her side. They have always been extra protective of their baby girl. They finally let him spend alone time with her. Her mother almost had t

Mayson does not remember anything after being in front of the restaurant. That may be a good thing in regard to not having to deal with the trauma of the attack. The person that attacked her most likely thinks she will not recover and can’t identify him. If he finds out that she is awake, he may try to finish the job and take her life. I know how stubborn she can be, so I won’t be able to hide much from her. She will see it on my face if I am telling a lie. “Holden, can we start with you filling the blanks in for me now?” She pokes her lip out in a cute little pout. That is usually my weakness, but not this time. I need her to eat something and get some strength back before we start the questions. She has a lot of missing pieces that need to be filled in. One particular piece I want to talk to her mom about first. She may have said something about it during their conversation. “Martha, can I talk to you outside for a minute please.” I could tell she really did not want to leave Ma

My mother died about an hour after she gave me the letter. It was weighing heavy in my carryon bag. I could not open this letter alone. I had texted Holden before I boarded my flight that I needed to see him. Seth: Holden I am getting ready to head back home. Mom passed away. Need to see you ASAP Holden: Sorry man have a safe trip. No problem. Meet me at the Cole’s when you get back Seth: Why are you staying there? Holden: My house is still a crime scene. I think the DA is being an ass. Mayson woke up today Seth: That is awesome man. Give her love from me. See you when I get into town After all of what I have been through the last couple of days, I welcomed the good news of Mayson waking up. I hated to have to pull him away from being with her. Holden and I know what it is like to have a dysfunctional family. I don’t know how I would have survived college without Holden. When I arrived at the Cole’s house, Holden was sitting on the porch. He looked so happy. I env
