CHAPTER SIXTY NINE

JAMIE'S POV

Not having heard from Logan in over three hours, had me anxious but his mother convinced me that Logan's fine! Justin's fine! Everyone's fine except me. I almost died again today but the man assumed that I was a cripple when he pushed me into the cold lake.

I was disappointed that it was only Jer who came after me, but I recovered quickly, hearing that Justin went after the man who tried to hurt me and shots were heard.

I was willing to let all of this go when it was only about Logan and I but now that line has been crossed and they know where we are. This time they tired to hurt my child. A child that I am willing to sacrifice my own life to save and now this? This is what he tried now? I hope that Logan gets to him and I don't care how!

Mom came into the room with her phone outstretched towards me. "It's Logan" she tells me.

I took the phone, feeling relaxed, "hey," I answered softly,

Logan: "Jamie, sweetheart, how are you?"

I started crying when I heard his voice, "I'm good" I sobbed.

Logan: "I'm okay you don't have to worry. I'll be home soon"

Still sobbing, "okay" I answered as the sobs grew louder, with mom caressing my shoulder, her forehead creased with worry.

Logan: "then why are you crying? Mom said that you were fine."

Feeling ridiculous because of what is really bothering me.

Logan: "Jamie?"

Without bothering to hold back my embarrassment, "I lost my chair" I cried,.

Logan: "Your chair?"

"My wheelchair!" I exclaimed.

Logan: "Right. Yes. In the water." he paused

Logan: "okay, I'll get one for you later today" Logan promises.

Satisfied, "make sure it has all of the up to date features and heavy power" I smiled, feeling my independence returning.

Logan: "anything else?"

Taking deep breaths from crying, "yes come home quickly and how is Justin?' I asked, ashamed that I didn't remember Justin.

Logan: "actually we are on our way home and we are hungry. Just let mom know"

At ease, now that everything is okay, "yes, okay, see you soon and I love you." I tell him, hanging up and turning to mom when the phone started ringing again, "hello?"

Logan: "I love you" then he hangs up.

Smiling I shook my head, "he said they are on their way and that they are hungry" I told mom, who nodded and started walking away.

"Send Jer" I shout to my mother-in-law as she walks away.

Jer comes in, but sits besides me, engulfing me in a hug, but I notice that something is bothering him. "What is it Jer?" I asked, as my relaxed mindset was slowly fading.

Releasing me, Jer stands and starts pacing in front of me, something I have never seen him do before, his eyes filled with fear.

Turning to face me suddenly, "Jamie, Mr. Daniels definitely sent this man after you" Jer stated the obvious so I just wait for him to continue. "Do you?" he starts asking his eyes filling up with tears and for the love of God, I don't know what's running through his mind. "Do you" Jer started again, getting me nervous now.

"Do you think Jess is involved in this new plot against you?" Jer finally says, shocking me to the core. I never even thought that was even a possibility. Jess would never do this. No, she would never.

Shaking my head in denial. "She won't" I whisper. "Jess would never" I stopped trying to convince Jer with my eyes that Jess is upset but she will never do this. She will never hurt me this way. "Jess loves me. I love her" I looked up at Jer, "please don't say anything, Jess loves us and we will get her back and then we will be the three musketeers again" I whispered to myself knowing full well that I wasn't convincing enough to comfort my brother.

Coming back to hug me, "Jamie I don't know if I can forgive her if she is involved." Jer admits, but I know like me, he would forgive all of Jess's short comings.

Things with Jess isn't adding up and I cannot understand why she has turned on me this way. Why does she hate me so much?

"Jer, there must be some reason for Jess's attitude towards me. I mean if she wants me dead, it has to be really, really bad and now I am afraid" I admit my fear, but it's about my baby not me. I want my child to have a fair fighting chance at survival.

With his arms around me, "I don't know Jamie, I just don't understand her behavior either. Her change was so sudden." Jer seem to be searching his mind to find some reason for Jess's attitude.

We still don't know if Jess is involved because Mr. Daniel did what he did all on his own since in the beginning.

"Jer let's not jump to conclusions, we don't know that Jess was part of what happened earlier" I wrapped my arms around his neck, "Logan will be home soon, take me outside." I smile, wincing as I felt a stab of pain on my side.

Instantly alert to my pain, "what is it?" Jer moves away, looking into my face then at my stomach and back to my face as I bit the pain in. I did fall roughly into the lake, but I was okay earlier, but now.

"Help me back on the bed, I'll stay here but please don't say anything to anyone." I look at Jer, my eyes pleading with his, but I can already see I'm going to be disappointed.

"You know I can't do that Jamie" Jer admits, "we are all involved in your well being and if Grey thinks that I have kept anything away from him concerning your health, he'll kill me"
