Chapter 10

It was now early Sunday morning and Zay lay in bed ready to get the hell out of that hospital room. He’d been feeling tense and anxious since he’d been there. His doctor had already given him the green light so at some point, he’d be leaving that day. He looked around the room at the 'Get Well Soon' balloons, fruits and assorted chocolates sent by just his brother, Olivia, Zoe, and his mom and dad. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson had even sent a card, with a vase of flowers, along with a few balloons.

It was crazy how he’d only come to Augusta to see his woman, but ended up staying longer due to the foolishness that occurred. Just the day before, a couple more detectives came by and asked a few more questions concerning the incident at the club. To their avail it did them no good. Zay didn't want his business in the media or the streets like that so everything was cool for them to just leave things as they were. Plus, it could definitely be used as leverage in hopes that Mark would respectfully bow out of the divorce without putting up a mean fight.

He looked over at Olivia who was sitting in the lounge chair next to him and smiled at her as she flipped through a Sister 2 Sister magazine. She’d been by his side the entire time, making sure that he was good. If she left for more than an hour, she called just to check on him. For the past two nights she’d been right there with him, and he appreciated the way she supported him throughout this whole ordeal.

“Hey baby,” he called out as she sat there pretending to be caught up in the magazine.

“Hm,” she answered only glancing up at him and then back down to the pages of the magazine.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m good,” she said, still pretending to be engaged.

“You can talk to me, you know that right?” He said, knowing that she had some heavy shit on her mind.

“I know,” she responded.

“Babe,” he called out again to get her attention. “Look at me. Just look at me.” Olivia’s eyes slowly glanced up from the magazine as she looked him directly in the face. “I know you’re hurting.” He said as she dropped her head back down. “But, I’m here for you. You don’t have to pretend like this is not bothering you.”

“I’m not. I don’t care.” Olivia softly lied, still shying away from the truthful eye contact that Zay was giving her.

“I know you and you know that’s not true. You do care. I think that because you care, you’ll feel like I’m going to look at you differently or maybe even have feelings that we’re not meant to be. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.” Olivia glanced back up to look at him. Her eyes filled with water, but she batted them to keep the tears from falling. “See babe, this is what makes me love you.
