Takedown
“I prayed to God. I wasn’t sure if I believed, but Jessica did. So if there was a God, I bet he’d be there for her.
Jessica was in an induced coma so she wouldn’t fight the ventilator. Everything I heard the doctors and nurses say scared the hell out of me—they talked about blood loss and tissue damage, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung. But she was hanging on. She had to hang on.
Her family and I were in and out of the ICU day and night. Her parents requested that I be able to see her even thoug...h I wasn’t immediate family. I guess they thought Jessica would want me there.
At some point Tasha and Mom showed up. Mom said things like, “Don’t worry, honey, she’ll be okay,” and “She’s a strong girl, she’ll pull through.” Like my mom could know. Her words were the same as always: empty. As for Tasha, she didn’t make any false promises, she just said, “I’m here for you.” Yeah, right. It took balls for her to come here and offer me support. I didn’t need either of them, and I told them so.MoreLess
