She didn't listen and was still ripping his precious pictures., and it was driving him crazy.. His blood was literally boiling, he was not thinking straight no more., so he reaches for the thing closest to him which was his bedside lamp., and used it as a projectile towards his mother..
And well., as the captain of the basketball team, you should know he had an accurate aim regardless of whether he was in the right state of mind or not... His aim was flawless. It hit his mother right in the head..
"I SAID STOP.., STOP.., STOP.... He said as the lamp hit her head., and she slowly turned around to look at him...
" Now look what you made me do... He said as she fell to the ground....
"you never listen to me.. Never.... He said expecting a reply but it never came... Alia was dumbfounded., she was in complete shock.. She just sat there shivering, looking at the body of Alice on the floor...
Mom.., Mom.., Mom are you okay., he finally steps down from the bed when he does not get a reply from her.., he stands in front of his bed and he could see her clearly now., laying there lifeless... She wasn't moving...
'What did he just do.., what in the world did he just do... His hand rested on his head., his legs shaking, barely holding him up. Sweat running down his whole body., did he just.. Just.. K.. Kill his mother...
The air in the room had gotten hotter., too hot for him to bare.. The thought that he just murdered his own mother brought him to his knees right in front of her... His shaking hands came down from his head and touched her...
"Mom., mom.. Mom please wake up., please.. I'm sorry I didn't mean to do it.. I didn't mean to.. I told you to stop but you didn't listen.. You didn't listen.. Now look what you made me do... Please mom, please wake up... I'm so sorry., so sorry.. He said crying as he slowly rest his head on her chest...
But then, he could here it.. He could here her heartbeat, she was not dead.. She was just unconscious... He placed his head closer to her chest to confirm... She was still alive...
"My phone... Where is my phone... He said frantically checking everywhere... When he could not find it, he turned to Alia..
" where's your phone... He asked her, but he lady was still shaken up by the whole incidents that played out... "I asked you a question b*tch.., where's your goddamn phone ... But she still gave no answer... He swore at her and then picked up his jeans and slipped them on as quickly as possible... Wore the nearest t-shirt he could grab., picked up his car keys that laid on the floor, carried his mother in his arms and ran out of the house.., but not before locking his room door, using it as a temporary holding cell for Alia..
Good for him., the whole incident had washed away every and any inch of tipsiness from his system, and he was wide awake..
He put her safely in the car and zoomed to the nearest hospital..
She was taken to the emergency room., and the doctors and nurses attended to her with immediate effect.. When asked what had happened., he just gave them a false statement that she had just gotten back from work., and was climbing up the stairs when she slipped and fell, and hit her head...
They questioned if she ever complained of blurry vision., or headache... He said she usually complained of having not only headaches but also body aches whenever she got back from work...
"Please doctor, you have to save my mom.. You have to help her.., nothing bad must happen to her.. Please doctor., I trust in you.. If she survives this, I will make sure she moves her things to the lower floor, so she doesn't have to climb stairs again... He said crying seriously...
Well I hope we haven't forgotten that not only is he the captain of the basketball team., but also the captain of the lying team.. And he lied so so well.. It was impossible to not believe him...
And his incredible acting and lying skills had helped him once again., because the doctors didn't ask him any further questions, and only just comforted him...
******************
"Doctor how is she.., is she awake now., can I see her now.... Is my mom okay... I want to see her... He said as the doctors came out...
" don't worry., she's okay now.. She's being moved to her room.. The doctor said laying a comforting hand on Jason's shoulder.. She's still unconscious for now., but she will come around any time soon.. He assured the boy... And yes as soon as she is moved to her room you can go see her.. Just don't disturb her okay... Jason felt a weight taken off his shoulders.. Even though he had issues, he sincerely didn't want anything bad to happen to his mother.. She was the only family he had left...
"Thank you.. Thank you so much doctor... Thank you...
*******************
It wasn't untill past one in the afternoon that Alice finally woke up., Jason never left her side for even once... When she opened her eyes., her hands brushed his hair., he had slept of, his head on the bed close to her chest., his hand in tight lock with hers.. She looked at his features... His eyes., his nose., his mouth., his ears...
'yes.., this was her son.. Her Jason... She stroked his head with her hands., causing the boy to wake up...
"Mom.. Mom you're awake.., thank goodness... Mom I'm so sorry.., I'm really, really sorry.. I didn't mean to do that.., I don't know what came over me.. I didn't mean to hurt you mom.. Please forgive me.. I'm sorry... He said hurriedly as tears rolled down his check...
"ssshhhhh.... It's okay.. I know you didn't mean to do it.. It's alright.. She placed a palm on his face and wipes his tears with her thumb.....
"but Jason.., you need help.. What you're doing is wrong.., it's not right... If you get caught by the police Jason.., even I would not be able to save you.. You'll go to jail... She said sincerely hoping he would listen.. She had seen first hand how he reacted to this topic, and just hoped he was in a calmer mind to see reason..
"I know mom.., I know but I just can't help myself... I can't help it.. I can't stop myself.. I don't know what to do anymore... He said the tears in his eyes increasing...
" Let me help you honey... I'll help you get through all this.. Alright??... She looked at him, earnestly waiting for his response.. Then with a slight nod., he agreed to accept her help.. She was so happy..., she pulled him into a hug... She was going to do everything for her son... Now all she had to do was find a way to take care of the nurse... 'THE NURSE'... that's right, she had almost forgotten...
"how about Alia.., where is she....." I didn't know what to do, so I locked her in my room... He said... She seemed satisfied by his answer because she didn't ask any further questions ... She just hugged him more and said it was all okay....
*******************
"I am going to give you any amount you ask for.. Just name your price... Alice said to the young lady.... She had to take care of this as soon as possible.., so her son would have nothing against him... So that he could start anew... As soon as she got back home, she went straight to Jason's room to meet Alia... Luckily for the lady who had been locked up without means of feeding for the past two days.., Jason had some snacks he kept in his room.. And for water., she just drank from his bathroom tap... Since she was locked up in his room., she could not get her own clothes, so she dressed herself up in his... A pair of jeans and a t-shirt...
" I don't want anything ma'am.. Just let me keep my job please.. I promise I won't say anything.. I will forget what happened.. I just want to keep working as a nurse.. It was my late mother's wish.. I don't want to loose my job ma'am please... Alia pleaded...
"so you don't want anything but your job... The girl nodded in response.. She pondered on it for a while... It might be better to actually keep her close.. What if she let's her go and she still ran to the police.. What then??...
" well I already sent something to your account just in case.., so you can keep that... And you can keep your job too... She said to the lady... Just know that I am not the kind of person you would want to cross.. If you go against your word... Then you would pay for it... She warned the girl...
********************
"this is it..., you have a chance to start anew.. I will help you find a way to forget about those two... For now let's get rid of this... Alice said to Jason as they pulled down all the posters and pictures of Vanessa and Jenny from his wall together... He carried them all to the backyard... Alice following closely behind him...
He set them down., and brought out a lighter...
He was holding a photo where both ladies stood together....
"this is it.., this is goodbye... He said as he set the picture he held on fire, and threw it on the rest posters and pictures and watched them burn.....
He would finally let go...
