Chapter Two
Here Without You
Henrietta was walking down the hallway to Jose's room when she got there she knocked on the door then waiting for an answer."Henrietta is something wrong you should be in bed it's 1:34 in the morning is, is something wrong?"Jose asked. Henrietta looked down at her feet.
"I, I still can't sleep, Jose."Henrietta said looking up at Jose feeling embarrassed.
"Here come on in Henrietta I think we should have a talk about this little problem you're having."Jose said kneeling down placing his hands on Henrietta's shoulders."OK?"
"Yes, sir."Henrietta answered. Jose and Henrietta went inside the room, Henrietta sat down on his bed then Jose pulled up a chair and sat in it."Did I do something wrong?"
"No, I just want to know why you haven't been getting any sleep lately Rico is been worried about since your lack of sleep is causing you some stress, is there something bothering you Henrietta?"Jose said looking at Henrietta in the eyes causing her to blush a look away."You can trust me."
"I been having a bad dream and I, I don't want to see it again…and…I…"Henrietta had stopped to let out her tears clutching her pajamas."…I'm afraid."
" Can you tell me about this dream you're having you don't have to tell me until you're ready too."Jose stated.
"I,I just can't…I…"Henrietta was stopped by Jose who wrapped around her holding her close to him."J-Jose?"
"It's OK you don't have to be afraid because I'm here to protect you, Henrietta."Jose said softly holding tightly to the young girl he cares for the most.
"I wish you could be in my dreams, Jose."Henrietta said cherishing the very moment that she can feel her handler's heart beat.
"That reminds me of I song I knew go get that guitar over there for me Henrietta."Jose said.
"OK."Henrietta said standing up then walking over to the corner where the guitar was placed.
"Thank you, Henrietta here have a seat on the bed next to me."Jose said.
"Jose, what are you doing?"Henrietta asked curiously as she watched Jose mess with the guitar.
"I'm going to play you a song for you."Jose said.
Here without you
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Everything I know and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh
When Jose finished Henrietta had her head in his lap."Thank you…Jose."Henrietta yawned falling into a deep sleep. Jose smiled knowing that the young cyborg had finally fallen asleep.
"Good night Henrietta."Jose said as he laid Henrietta on the bed next to the wall, when he got in the bed Henrietta rolled over placing her head on his chest.
"Jose, you heart beat is beautiful."Henrietta said in her sleep. Jose smiled again petting her head as he drifted to sleep.
