Chapter 20 "Tragedy strikes"

"Jason McCann in my office as soon as possible", I say through the speaker.

A few minutes later Jason barges through my doors with sunglasses on sitting on my couch.

"What do you want?", Jason mutters.

"This behavior you been having in Grey Global is unacceptable.. one more fuck up of any kind and I'll be forced to terminate your employment", I firmly say.

"You won't", Jason chuckles.

"Excuse me?", I raise a brow.

"Everyone wants me.. if you let me go I'm sure other agencies will hire me right away and you'll lose your best model", Jason smirks.

I can feel my anger flaring up by his cocky attitude. However he's absolutely right.

"Take this as a warning McCann", I sternly stare him down.

"Is that all brat?"

"No, I want to know the real you"

"What do you mean?", he furrows his brows.

"Last night you put yourself and Isaac on blast.. don't you remember?"

"Isaac mentioned that this morning.. I don't want to talk about it especially with you", Jason grumbles.

"Why not?"

"I bet your laughing at me all you little rich self absorbed bubbly morons are the same", Jason grits his teeth.

I'm stunned by his outburst and also offended how he categorized me.

"I'm nothing like that! How dare you judge me without even knowing me! If I was anything like you say I am I would of never even looked your way nor developed feelings for you!", I hiss.

"That was before you knew about the real me", he splutters.

"I still like you the same way as I did before you fucking moron!"

Jason has a baffled expression plastered on his face as he beams at me.

"How can you be so dumb Jason?", I shake my head.

"Look its better this way Aleysa.. your better off with a good guy like that douche bag of Alejandro than a criminal like me", Jason sighs.

I say nothing completely nothing another thing I learned about Jason McCann is once he sets his stubborn ass on something there's no making him change his mind.

"I don't want to involve you in my messed up life", Jason adds abruptly getting up from the couch now pacing back and forth.

"I'm sorry for bothering you.. have a nice day", is all I can manage to say as Jason walks out of my office.

A few weeks later

Alejandro and I been hanging around each other a lot since he's been in New York for a couple of weeks now.

I'm currently getting ready for my date tonight with him. He'll be leaving back to his home in two days.

Beep Beep

I run to my window seeing him in the car waiting. I quickly scurry down the stairs exiting the house to see him.

"Hello babe", I smile excitedly buckling myself as Alejandro nods pulling out of my driveway driving off to our date night.

"You look sexy", Alejandro hiccups.

Almost immediately I smell alcohol on him as he opens his mouth.

"Have you been drinking?", I scrunch my brows together studying his face expression.

"Just one b-beer no biggie", he stutters his eyes looking really red and drowsy.

"Your freaking drunk Alejandro! Stop the car!", I hiss completely disappointed in him.

"I'm fucking fine now shut the fuck up!", he scolds.

And just like that I see a someone's headlights straight ahead blinding us as the car crashes into it. I scream covering my eyes with my hands feeling the car spin uncontrollably. The wheels swirled sounding so loud and terrifying.

I have no idea what we're crashing into since I don't dare uncover my eyes all I can feel is my body constantly hitting right to left my seat belt tightening on my chest holding me back from going forward. I hear windows shattering each time we hit and cars honking.

Suddenly the car hits against something hard bringing the car to a complete stop and that's when my head hits the side of the window completely knocking me out instantly.

Jason's pov

I was happy mobbing in my car I recently purchased until I hit traffic due to a car accident that occurred last night from what I heard on the radio. Thanks to this stupid traffic it made me 10 minutes late to work. I can already see Aleysa throwing me a stern look once I step in.

Once I arrive I barge through the glass doors seeing a lot of people gathered up gossiping about something. I peek over at Aleysa's office and she isn't in there which is a bit weird.

Somehow by the energy I'm feeling right now I feel like something isn't right especially since no one is working. I would usually see Jacky keeping an eye on the workers and models, but I notice she's nowhere to be found either.

"Oh my god did you hear?!", I hear one of the models whisper to another within the group.

I step a little closer to the group to hear what they're about to discuss. One thing I learned about the modeling business is that when you want to know about a rumor or the latest gossip. The models are the ones to go too for the information on almost anything.

"Yes girl, Aleysa was drunk driving last night"

Wtf

"No she wasn't you idiot! Her boyfriend was drunk and they got into a bad car accident", the blonde model says.

My heart falls down to my stomach suddenly feeling my body heat dangerously increase making me feel like I'm in a sauna room.

"Aleysa was in a car accident last night?!", I chirp.

The models all look at me with worried expressions on their faces.

"Fucking answer!", I scold losing my patience.

"Yes, her boyfriend was drunk driving and I heard it was a bad accident that's why none of the bosses are here besides Mr. Joseph", one of the models finally responded.

Aleysa

"What hospital is Aleysa at?!", I demanded clenching my jaw trying go remain calm.

Once one of the models gave me the address to the hospital where Aleysa is admitted. I bolted towards the hospital ignoring stop signs and red lights. I didn't give a fuck about anything all I could think about is Aleysa. The worst of thoughts started filling my head making me go crazy inside.

Please god don't take her away from me!

Is Aleysa dead?

Oh no! Please tell me she's alive!

I finally arrive at the hospital sprinting in the hallways my body trembling from how nervous I am.

"Is Aleysa Grey admitted here?", I hastily say to the receptionist.

She types her name on the computer system and writes down a room number on a piece of paper.

"Yes she is.. here's the room number it's upstairs", she smiles handing me the piece of paper.

"Thanks"

"Room 204A"

"Room 205A"

"Room 206A", I can feel my patience running fucking low from how fucking hard it is to find a damn room in hospitals.

"Room 207A"

Bingo

I walk inside a big room hoping to see Aleysa, but instead I see Jacky, Mr. Grey, Assandra, and Angela all sitting down impatiently waiting.

Angela looks up at me a bit stunned by my presence at first, but then she stands up coming towards me. Her eyes are so red and swollen from all the crying she must of done since last night to now.

Mr. Grey throws a stern look of confusion as he peers at me, but I see Assandra hug him keeping his attention on her which I'm glad for this man is such a prick.

As for Jacky she's crying hugging a stuffed white teddy bear. I feel my heart ache from seeing this girl who's such a tough chick never showing any type of emotion to now looking broken and hopeless.

"Jason what are you doing here?", Angela whispers.

"I heard of what happened at work I'm so sorry Angela"

Angela's lips starts to quiver on the verge of breaking down, but she somehow holds it back.

"Please tell me she's alive!", my voice cracks fearing the worst.

"Yes Jason thank god", she lets out a loud breath.

I also let out a breath finally being able to ease my worry down from the worst thought that kept haunting me on my way over here.

"But", Angela mumbles.

"But what? Where is she? I want to see her!", I hastily say looking all over the place.

"She's in a coma", Angela sniffles.

I can almost guarantee someone kicked me on my stomach taking all of my air out making it hard to breath, but it wasn't someone physically kicking me it was Angela's words that just spilled out of her mouth that kicked me so fucking hard in my stomach.

I pull Angela into a hug stroking her back trying my best to comfort her, but I know there's nothing in the world that's going to make her feel calm.

Angela pulls away sobbing walking towards Jacky who's still crying hysterically and hugs her the both of them crying in each other's arms.

I turn my heel stepping out of the waiting room leaning my back against the wall. I swallow down the lump that's stuck in the back of my throat I've been holding back since I got here.

My vision begins to blur, but I quickly rub my eyes to clear my vision. I want to break down right now, but the person I've been for so long isn't letting me. Instead I feel anger, frustration, and regret.

Anger from how Aleysa dared get into a vehicle when a intoxicated person is driving. I'm also angry at Alejandro for being drunk and putting Aleysa in fucking danger now look at what he fucking caused. Aleysa is in a fucking coma. It's all his fucking fault!

Alejandro is fucking dead!

I'm so fucking frustrated not knowing what to do to help Aleysa. I should of hit her up last night and kicked it with her instead of being at the strip club with my boys being a fucking moron. If I would of kicked it with or invited her somewhere she wouldn't be in this fucking situation.

And regret for not appreciating her. All she has done is show me kindness from the moment she meet me. She never once fucking judged me like her father did and like every other rich fucker has in my life. She accepted me with open hands and opened the doors for me at Grey Global without even knowing me that right there is a fucking angel a good ass hearted person and all I've done is hurt her treat her like shit.

I fucking regret everything I've done to her and how ungrateful I've been towards her. I regret not giving us a chance. This beautiful girl I thought I had no chance with somehow developed feelings for me out of all the better guys she could easily have, but she chose me and I brushed her away. I remember my mother would always tell me before she passed that I will find a girl that's going to change me for the better as well as see the good in me and love me unconditionally.

I used to always ignore my mother whenever she would say that because I just didn't care about it in that time I was only 13 years old. Funny how the things you never payed attention to or cared about much is what you remember the most.

Honestly, I was scared of Aleysa from the moment I saw her picture in Mr. Grey's office I felt so intrigued by her. Then when I meet her in person I felt so drawn by her no other female has ever had me drawn to them ever like Aleysa. I always used females for one thing only and that was for a good time that's it, but with Aleysa she's so different she's so special to me.

That's what scared me that it had me avoiding her and constantly being a dick to her even though there was some days I would loosen up and be nice to her because it was just so damn hard being around her beauty. I thought avoiding her and just being a dick would help me keep away from her in hopes of not finding her so interesting anymore, but fuck was I wrong if anything she was like a drug to me always wanting to come back for more.

To be honest Aleysa is the only fucking reason I ever even would show up at work just to see her and poke her buttons it always brighten my day up. Aleysa wasn't shy about her feelings she's so straight up that's what I admired the most about her. She wasn't afraid to tell me her feelings for me and that really frightened me because I fucking liked her a lot for my own damn good. I'm so used to my fucking lifestyle I've been having since 14 years old that I guess I destined myself forever being that way, but Aleysa coming into my life is making me see beyond what I'm used to and that's what terrifies me.

I love this girl yeah I said it I love Aleysa Grey. I regret not being the man she wanted me to be. I regret not taking the chance on us. Isaac was right I'm such a fucking coward. My mother must of saw Aleysa coming my way no wonder she told me that and I'm sure from heaven she directed me towards her path.

It pains me to finally realize my biggest mistake I've done in my life. Look what it took to happen for me to fucking open my eyes and realize what I had in front of me the whole time.
