Chapitre 23: Chapter 22

Jared

I wake up feeling a little off. I feel extremely dizzy and I'm lying on someone's lap. I look around the room and see something I never wanted to. When Laynie told me, she was pregnant last year, I didn't want to admit it. I didn't want to deal with it. As soon as I saw the baby pacifier I knew that everything I had put her through was wrong. So wrong. I have destroyed Laynie like my father destroyed my mother. My father. Shit. I need to call him. I'm going to be late today. The inspectors should be on the cite in a few days and I need to be there.

I try to lift my head up but feel a hand on my forehead. I close my eyes hard from being dizzy and try to reopen them. When I see Laynie I'm a little confused. Why am I on her lap?

"What's going on? I ask her.

"Oh God Jared. I was so scared. You fainted an hour ago. I was worried you weren't going to wake up. Thank God." She says holding me in a grappling hug.
