Chapter 12

In the hospital

“Hey bright eyes.” Trent’s face was unusually angelic as he leaned in to kiss my forehead.

“Huh?” I mumbled groggily. “What happened?”

“Tara hit you upside the head with the vase I bought you four years ago for your birthday. But don’t worry about that now. The cops are looking for her and as soon as they catch her she is going to have to pay for what she’s done to you.” His voice sounded more kind and sweet than it had been since he started cheating on me.

It was odd. I looked at him as if he were a stranger, someone that I didn’t know from Adam or Eve and damn near didn’t recognize. In those brief few seconds of speaking with him, I could see that he was a changed person than from what I knew to be his true self. But just like the weather, the warm breeze doesn’t last forever. So I was just laying there staring at him waiting for the wind to become chilly and stiff again.

“Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital. You’re job rushed you right over to the hospital part of the university so you’re in good hands. The doc was just in here a few minutes ago but he said he’d be back.” Trent tucked me into bed like I was a newborn baby. “There you go all nice and tidy. Are you okay? Do you need anything?”

“Why are you here, Trent?”

“Baby, I love you. Where else would I be?”

He looked at me as if I was the crazy one. I couldn’t help but to wonder what his angle was. His niceness was not only too nice it was scary nice. Maybe he was here to make sure that I didn’t squeal on him. He might have thought he was undoubtedly going to jail if someone caught wind of this red welt making it’s way across my right cheek. Trent hadn’t done anything for anyone else lately that didn’t benefit his self, first.

“Have you been smoking or something?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“No. I just can’t believe I came this close to seriously losing you. I guess it never really hit me until something terrible like this happened. Listen baby, I—“

“Trent, don’t do this. It’s been too long and too little, too late. We’re beyond done at this point. You just need to go live your life and I will go live mine.” I turned my head away from him so that I wouldn’t feed off into his friendly façade.

It wasn’t he who was trying to reconcile with me it was his guilty conscious. It was nice to know that he cared enough about me to sit by my side in my time of need but it was all for show. He was only doing it for as long as I was down and I knew it wouldn’t last. If I got my hopes up for the brief second that this lasted, I would only be playing the fool once again.
