Jayden looked up from her spot as she waved at Augustine, though she looked at Jacob. “Still no change.” She whispered. “I’ve been talking to him but..Nothing..”

“Well, I heard somewhere that if you’re in a coma you can hear people still,” she sat at the side of Jacob’s bed, taking his hand. “Maybe we should just tell him to stop being an idiot and wake up.” She tried, but seeing him was hard, she squeezed his hand as she placed a kiss to his cheek.

“I tried that.” She chuckled, though then she sighed. “I even tried telling him about the stupid things he’s done in hopes he’d shoot up and tell me to be quiet. But..”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “Yeah, that’s going to be a real kicker, isn’t it?” He’ll...

gregoryastrid:

“Yeah, that’s going to be a real kicker, isn’t it?” He’ll start the car and head down to the hospital with her. Though he’ll be hesitant to see Jacob himself.

“Yep. I’m a bartender! Who can’t drink!” She gave a short laugh but it didn’t have the usual kick behind it, approaching the hospital made her quieter.

“All your woes, right?” He chuckled as they made it there but he stayed in the car for a moment. “I’ll be out here for a bit..I’ll meet you inside.”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “But those are the most fun things to do.” he laughed a...

gregoryastrid:

“But those are the most fun things to do.” he laughed a little, walking with her to his car. Maybe God would have answers, maybe even Lucy. He hadn’t told Augustine of Lucy, he wasn’t sure if he should.

“Yeah, but not for me! I have to go through nine months without alcohol, erg,” she shook her head. “I’m going to miss that perk.”

“Yeah, that’s going to be a real kicker, isn’t it?” He’ll start the car and head down to the hospital with her. Though he’ll be hesitant to see Jacob himself.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “What are friends for, right?” He smiled at her, though it...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“What are friends for, right?” He smiled at her, though it was a sad smile.

“Making sure you don’t get wasted in public,” she smiled back, nodding.

“But those are the most fun things to do.” he laughed a little, walking with her to his car. Maybe God would have answers, maybe even Lucy. He hadn’t told Augustine of Lucy, he wasn’t sure if he should.

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

He tried to tell her that he was there, but it was no good. There was no one there. He would follow them, however.

Sighing a bit, Greg nodded. “Let’s head that way.” He held out his arm to her.

She took his arm awkwardly, letting go to lock the door. She didn’t take it again, not wanting to look weak. “Thank you Greg,” she looked away from him with a sigh. “For being here. Thank you.”

“What are friends for, right?” He smiled at her, though it was a sad smile.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “Then we’ll talk to her about it.” He nodded slowly. “She...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“Then we’ll talk to her about it.” He nodded slowly. “She might have the answers.” And Jacob was behind him and sighed while mimicking everything Greg was saying, though watching Augustine hurting as she was he moved to her, his arms moving around her.

Greg just stood there. “Should we go to the hospital?”

“If she doesn’t, then I get to punch her in the face,” she couldn’t fee his arms around her, couldn’t tell that he was there as she shifted in her spot with a sigh. “Yeah, it would be good to see him…”

He tried to tell her that he was there, but it was no good. There was no one there. He would follow them, however.

Sighing a bit, Greg nodded. “Let’s head that way.” He held out his arm to her.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “We…Could talk to God?” He knew that sounded insane but...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“We…Could talk to God?” He knew that sounded insane but they knew God was real, they both talked to her. “He has to be somewhere, right? She’d know, wouldn’t she?”

What they didn’t know is he was standing right there in the room with them, but neither could hear him. Right now he was mocking Greg.

“Talk to God?” She pursed her lips with a sigh. “Right now, I very much want to punch God in the face, but if She could bring him back,” she closed her eyes. “I’d like that very much.”

“Then we’ll talk to her about it.” He nodded slowly. “She might have the answers.” And Jacob was behind him and sighed while mimicking everything Greg was saying, though watching Augustine hurting as she was he moved to her, his arms moving around her.

Greg just stood there. “Should we go to the hospital?”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “That’s easier said than done, isn’t it?” He sighed as he...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“That’s easier said than done, isn’t it?” He sighed as he would look at her. “I’m really sorry this happened…”

“Sorry isn’t going to change anything,” she sighed, shaking her head. “All I want now is that this kid I’m carrying is healthy and safe and the possibility of Jacob,” she winced at his name, “waking up.”

“We…Could talk to God?” He knew that sounded insane but they knew God was real, they both talked to her. “He has to be somewhere, right? She’d know, wouldn’t she?”

What they didn’t know is he was standing right there in the room with them, but neither could hear him. Right now he was mocking Greg.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “I can’t say I blame her.” He frowned as he looked back at...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:36:47 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“I can’t say I blame her.” He frowned as he looked back at her. “I’ll go as far as taking you there. But I don’t need her punching me. Her brother doing it once was enough..”

“Yeah, you don’t seem to have a lot of luck, first me, then him,” she shook her head. “You should just stay away from us when we’re in bad moods.”

“That’s easier said than done, isn’t it?” He sighed as he would look at her. “I’m really sorry this happened…”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “She blames me, doesn’t she?” Which was fine, he blamed...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:21:11 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“She blames me, doesn’t she?” Which was fine, he blamed himself too.

“She’s… not exactly happy with the police force currently,” she sighed. “If she’s in a… worse mood, then maybe I’ll just have you walk me to his room for now.”

“I can’t say I blame her.” He frowned as he looked back at her. “I’ll go as far as taking you there. But I don’t need her punching me. Her brother doing it once was enough..”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “I’ve heard stories.” He chuckled lightly. “Want me to go...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:08:09 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“I’ve heard stories.” He chuckled lightly. “Want me to go with you?”

“If you don’t mind… I’m not sure how pleased Jayden will be to see you, but I would be glad for the company.”

“She blames me, doesn’t she?” Which was fine, he blamed himself too.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “Cute.” he stated as the dog just stared at him before...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:02:06 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“Cute.” he stated as the dog just stared at him before trotting off. “Where is she now?”

“At the hospital,” she nodded. “I’m probably going later, I just needed to go over some stuff… their’s more to pregnancy then I ever thought.”

“I’ve heard stories.” He chuckled lightly. “Want me to go with you?”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “I’ll do that.” He nodded. “anything you need, as I said....

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:53:53 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“I’ll do that.” He nodded. “anything you need, as I said. You’re my friend, and you need someone right now. I mean to help with this.” Though he’d notice a dog behind her and he’d blink slowly. “Um, is that yours?”

“Oh,” she glanced behind her at the dog. “It’s Jayden’s, she’s been staying over for a bit. I don’t have pets, I’ve always had a bad time with them.”

“Cute.” he stated as the dog just stared at him before trotting off. “Where is she now?”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “You’re welcome.” He kissed her cheek before stepping back...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:43:10 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“You’re welcome.” He kissed her cheek before stepping back from her. “anything you need. You have my number, even if it’s at the buttcrack of dawn.” He chuckled faintly.

She smiled slightly at him, nodding. “I might take you up on that, be warned. The doctors said I might want to find someone who could regularly come with me to appointment’s, I mean if you could it would be nice….”

“I’ll do that.” He nodded. “anything you need, as I said. You’re my friend, and you need someone right now. I mean to help with this.” Though he’d notice a dog behind her and he’d blink slowly. “Um, is that yours?”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “But if you can, I’ll be here to help you no matter what,...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:29:00 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“But if you can, I’ll be here to help you no matter what, okay. Day, night, it doesn’t matter.” He wanted to hold her right now, just hold her for awhile. You know, older brother comforting younger sister sort of thing…

She nodded at him. “Thank you, Greg,” she sighed. “If you could help… that would be nice…”

“You’re welcome.” He kissed her cheek before stepping back from her. “anything you need. You have my number, even if it’s at the buttcrack of dawn.” He chuckled faintly.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “Augustine that’s…” He wasn’t sure what to say. “If you...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:21:50 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“Augustine that’s…” He wasn’t sure what to say. “If you need anything, anything at all..”

“I… don’t really need anything, not that I can think of,” she sighed. “I’m just worried about the appointments and stuff I have coming up now,” she rubbed her arm, looking at him. “I’m not sure I’m ready for that.”

“But if you can, I’ll be here to help you no matter what, okay. Day, night, it doesn’t matter.” He wanted to hold her right now, just hold her for awhile. You know, older brother comforting younger sister sort of thing…

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: Everything else was gone then. “You’re pregnant?” He...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:14:46 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

Everything else was gone then. “You’re pregnant?” He asked. The look of surprise on his face.

Her anger stuttered to a stop and she became a nervous bundle or nerves. “Y-yeah, I just recently found out,” she shifted her feet. “I’m gonna be a mom.”

“Augustine that’s…” He wasn’t sure what to say. “If you need anything, anything at all..”

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “It’s not God’s fault, shit is crazy up there and she...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 18:00:56 -0400

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“It’s not God’s fault, shit is crazy up there and she can’t handle it. I’m being targeted for whatever reasons…” He sighed softly. “If he hadn’t jumped in I would be dead, yes.” He slowly nodded. “But Jacob would be here.”

Did he want to die? Because that’s how it was starting to sound.

“Well it’s not our place to have to face the reprecussions,” she through out her arms. “Their shouldn’t be someone shooting at you in the first place! We’re not angels or demons or gods! We’re people with our own lives to live,” she pointed at him. “You shouldn’t be dead, Jacob shouldn’t be in the hospital, and I shouldn’t have to worry about becoming a single mother!”

Well. One way to tell him she was pregnant.

Everything else was gone then. “You’re pregnant?” He asked. The look of surprise on his face.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: “Remember when I told you I was seeing things…Demons,...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

“Remember when I told you I was seeing things…Demons, whatever, and the damage I was going through.” He pointed to his ribs to remind her of the bruises. “When I went in, I saw them again. The guy, his eyes went black. I froze. Those bullets…Were meant for me…I know they were and then Jacob pushed me out of the way because I froze. I’m sorry, I don’t know if that means anything but Augustine I’m sorry, this is all my fault..”

“So it’s Gods fault because she can’t keep a hold of all this nonsense and magic anymore,” she said blandly, frowning. “She got you in a place where things want to kill you, and that got Jacob hit,” she put a hand to her head. “Well what a fucking woop-dy-doo,” she gritted her teeth. “So if he hadn’t moved you, instead of a coma you would’ve been dead.”

“It’s not God’s fault, shit is crazy up there and she can’t handle it. I’m being targeted for whatever reasons…” He sighed softly. “If he hadn’t jumped in I would be dead, yes.” He slowly nodded. “But Jacob would be here.”

Did he want to die? Because that’s how it was starting to sound.

ginger-the-white-knight: gregoryastrid: He stepped inside as he glanced back at her. “How are you...

ginger-the-white-knight:

gregoryastrid:

He stepped inside as he glanced back at her. “How are you holding up, Augie?” He glanced at her for a moment again before he frowned. “Listen, I came here for a reason and I’d rather not dance around it…I think I owe you an explanation..”

“I’m as best as I can be,” she ran a hand through her hair. “Just… dealing with different things right now.” She paused, then nodded, waving a hand. “Go on then. Give the explanation.”

She wasn’t in the mood to dance around anything either.

“Remember when I told you I was seeing things…Demons, whatever, and the damage I was going through.” He pointed to his ribs to remind her of the bruises. “When I went in, I saw them again. The guy, his eyes went black. I froze. Those bullets…Were meant for me…I know they were and then Jacob pushed me out of the way because I froze. I’m sorry, I don’t know if that means anything but Augustine I’m sorry, this is all my fault..”
