Previously on Nathan's Journey, last night Nathan got to see Andrea and it was revealed Andrea is pregnant and now Nathan is fighting for his freedom to be with his wife and unborn child, but... He was demolished by the prisoner in a brawl and what happened to him? We'll see...It resumes to Nathan getting clocked and falling to the ground."Wow that felt so good to get my blood rushing." His eyes look absolutely insane as he says "More! I want more!!" He aggressively starts beating on Nathan's face each hit more vicious that the last."That enough fighting, now it's time for the real fun to begin." He smiles deviously as he was dragging Nathan's lifeless body."Hey you!! Get your hands off of him!!" Officer Jameson back after escorting Andrea. "Shit , you just had to stop me before I could make a good woman out of him!" He says not caring if Nathan lives or dies.Nathan's body lays in a pool of his own blood."Nathan can you hear me?!" He feels his pulse. "It's feint but he's still alive" Officer Jameson thinks.It cuts to Nathan in a white room."Where..." He slowly opens his left eye. "Am I?" He tries to move but his body is in agony. "I thought I almost died... In my dream again." He tries to lift his hand slowly, but it shows it's covered in bruises."What..." he puts his hand on his left eye that is covered up. "The hell happened?" He sees his eye is covered in bandage. "Why can't I feel my left eye?!" He thinks as he can't move his eye at all. "What... is going on with my eye?" He painfully removes the bandage. "I can't see out of it at all..." He closes his right eye and he sees nothing but black. "No..." He begins crying but teas only fall from his working eye. "Why... Why does this keep happening to me?!" He yells out to whoever did to him, he yells at the universe he yells at everything. "How can I look at Andrea now?" He looks down his entire left side is covered in darkness."Nathan your finally awake!!" Andrea comes in tears and hugs Nathan on his left side."Andie... Is that you?" Nathan says as he can't turn his head to see her."What do you mean of course it's me how have you..." she looks up and sees Nathan's left eye is completely glazed over looking upward. "Nathan..." she gasps and starts crying."Babe... Please don't cry... I know I look... Hideous." He covers it with the bandage."Don't..." She stop him and pulls his head towards her. "Nothing will change who you are, your still my man, your still my husband and this condition won't change that. I didn't leave coz of your hearing problem and you didn't leave coz of my Bipolar disorder. We're here for each other for our imperfections." She kisses his cheek on the left side. "Thanks babe. I really needed to hear that..." Nathan says smiling gently at what he can see of Andrea."So... How long was I out?" He says as he looks outside."You've been unconscious for 2 weeks..." Andrea says in despair. "I didn't sleep a wink these weeks like you were out.""Andie I'm sorry you had to go through that stress. But what's going on with my case?" Nathan says still struggling to move."Your still under arrest, your trial was actually... Today." Andrea says the air sinking deeply in tension."Did I miss it?" Nathan says in despair."It's actually going to start in a hour. If you don't show up you won't be able to plead your case and your fate will be left to the judge and the prosecution." Andrea says knowing exactly what they would think of Nathan from how it came across on the news."We have to keep going..." Nathan says wiping her tears and keep a strong expression on his face." Nathan no, your too injured you barely move." She tells him as she tries to make him relax."No! I'm not gonna let it end like this.""I'm gonna fight for my freedom, even if I have to crawl!" Nathan says as he pulls himself out of the bed. "Are you gonna help me or what?" Andrea feels inspired by him. "I will help you, we're in this until the bitter end." She helps him up and move out. Nathan's vision blurs. "My head is killing me!!" "It's because your right eye is working overtime to make up for your left eye. It's uncomfortable but you'll be okay, I'll take care of you no matter Natie."Her light completely illuminates the half of Nathan's vision where he can still see."Thanks Andrea... If I didn't have you, I don't know where I would be..." he sheds a tear smiling at her. As he imagines there journey together up until this point as there on the road to court."We've been through these past few weeks..." Nathan says as he puts his hand on her lap."Yeah the good and the bad. We've known each other for 5 years til this point. I'm not letting you go yet." She tightly squeezes his hand."You can bring the fire and the hell but I'll never stop loving you baby and that's for sure." He smiles at her. "My eye looks so bad." He looks in the mirror and sees his left eye glazed upward. "Will I ever get vision in my eye again?" He tries to move it but it doesn't budge at all."Don't think about it, just..." She gives him an eye patch. "Thank you." He fully embraces it as he wears the eye patch with confidence. "That's the man I married." Andrea look at him full of conviction and smiles. They finally arrive at the court..."It's time..." Both Andrea and Nathan say in unicen.They step out the car and head up the stairs. What will be the verdict of this case? We'll see...
