My mate, My exception novel Chapter 72

"Jen...." I faintly hear a voice call out to me. "Wake up Jen."

I open my eyes and close them immediately from the brightness. I don't fail to miss Anna though, whose sitting beside the bed I'm laying in.

"Anna...." I croak out, my voice hoarse as I peel my eyes back open slowly.

"Hey Jen." She says sadly. I stretch around on my bed, taking notice of all the barriers that don't allow me to crack my stiffs bones. I don't ask how damaged I am, attempting to go for an easier question.

"How long have I been out?" I ask trying to remember any recollection of something after I was put to sleep at the vampire's cave.

"Three days. They've kept you under for a few simple procedures they've had to do." Her voice is so flat, making her sound exhausted. Then again, losing you mate could do that. I wonder why she wasn't insane, or attempting to kill herself with what she had gone through. Jake never said when he had killed Tyler, but even time can't heal some of our deepest wounds.

I decide not to bring it up at all. I can always act like I didn't know.

"How long was I missing?" I ask, afraid to hear the answer. I knew I was there a long time, but to me I could only assume I'd been there from anywhere from a week to six months.

"It's July seventeenth." She tells me, making me heart jump in my chest. I wasn't expecting it to be that long.

"It seemed like it was only a few weeks..... not over a month." I felt like I wanted to cry, but I didn't.

Anna doesn't say anything and seems to zone out in her chair. I'm tempted to question why she's here, but I'm sure that would just be down right cruel.

There are so many things I want to ask her about. My family. Micah. Kayla. My injuries. Jake. Luca. I try to think of one that I need to know the most.

"Anna..... do you know anything about my baby?"
