NEVER GIVE IN CHAPTER 6
"W-what?" Alice stuttered. "I don't know what to say... i- "
"You don't love me do you..." I whispered and fell back into the chair beside her bed.
"Andy-" She started
"No, stop. I just had to tell you"
"Andy" She started again sounding a little impatient.
"Look I'm sorry, but I had to tell you. You needed to know. I just-"
"Andy shut the fuck up I love you too!" She yelled. This time I was the one who was taken aback.
"Really?" I asked hopefully and I could feel my eyes light up. She nodded and a small blush rose to her cheeks. I got up from the chair and grabbed her hand and started tracing circles on it with my thumb. "Please don't ever do this again" I whispered and another tear fell.
"I won't, I promise." She smiled and wiped the tear off my cheek.
"Well would you look at this happy little couple." I heard Jake say. I turned around and saw him leaning against the door way with a smug look on his face. I rolled my eyes at him and chuckled. "So are you guys gonna kiss or what?" Jake asked. I turned back around and gave Alice a hopeful look.
"Not with you smelling like that." She laughed. I blushed realizing that I had just told Alice I loved her while probably smelling like a dead pig since I hadn't showered in over two weeks.
"Oh…right" I said and smiled sheepishly. "So when do you get out of here?" I asked, changing the subject.
"This morning, probably in a couple hours." She answered once glancing at the clock and yawned.
"You should go back to sleep" I sighed and sat back down in the chair. She nodded and fell back to sleep in a matter of minutes. I felt jakes hand rest on my shoulder and I looked up at him.
"You really do smell terrible." He smiled. I was expecting him to say something along the lines of 'good job' or something sincere. Nope, instead he said I smell terrible. Well that's Jake for you. "Go walk back to your apartment since it's only a couple blocks away, luckily this hospital is way closer than the last one. Take a shower, then drive back in Sandra's car since yours is you know wrecked, well if you can drive with that cast on." He chuckled. I nodded to tell him I could and walked out of the big sliding doors of the hospital and started into the LA night.
I spotted my apartment a block away and wished I could just run to it. But this fucking cast is stopping me. I made my way the rest of the block to my apartment and up the stairs. When I unlocked the door everything was just as Sandra and I had left is when we left for tour. I went to our small bathroom and started the water while stripping out of my clothes. I stepped into the shower and let the hot water caress my body. The water ran black off my body from dirt and make up, and the soap turned black when I washed my hair. No wonder she didn't want to kiss me... I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waste and made my way out of the bathroom. I didn't feel like cutting the bottom off of a leg of another pair of pants so I just slipped into some black sweats. I pulled on kiss shirt and grabbed Sandra's key off the table, leaving the apartment without even doing my hair or make up or anything. The quicker I got to the hospital the quicker I would get to kiss Alice! I was pretty sure I was speeding the whole way to the hospital. I pulled into the parking lot and went straight to Alice's room to find Jake asleep in the chair and Alice asleep too. I smiled started to stroke Alice's hair. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at me. "I showered" I whispered.
"I see" She chuckled and sat up in her bed. I started to play with my hands nervously.
"So, can i-" Her lips cut off my awkwardness as they crashed into mine. The kiss ended way too soon but I didn't mind, I got to kiss her.
"Aw, that was so cute" I heard Jake comment. I tore my eyes away from Alice's beautiful face to see Jake smirking. "That's going to twitter" He smiled and clicked a button on his phone.
"You did not…" I started and he nodded. I grabbed his phone from his hand to see a picture of Alice and I kissing. "You know Jake, I kinda like to keep my private life well, private" I sighed.
"Nope." Jake chuckled. "Dude, this is me getting you back for you putting ketchup in my milk when we were 10 and telling me It was strawberry milk!" Jake retorted.
"Dude, you still haven't gotten over that?" I threw my head back in laughter.
"Andy, it tasted DISGUSTING!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes and focused my attention back on Alice while starting to play with her fingers.
"What time do you get out of here?" I asked.
"What time is it now?" She responded. I checked my phone to see it was 6:30.
"6:30"
"In about 2 hours when the nurse comes in" She sighed and leaned back. "I wanna leave now." She mumbled.
"Well if you wanna leave now, then we'll leave now." I said and started to get up.
"Andy, I can't just get up and leave." She kind of chuckled.
"Honey, I'm a rockstar now, I can do a lot of stuff, including get you out of a hospital early." I smirked.
"Andy, we've only just finished one full tour, we're not exactly Crue status yet." Jake added in.
"So? And the majority of the shows were sold out. I figure I can get her out a wee bit early." I explained. "How hard can it be? Watch." I walked out of the room and up to the reception desk, luckily the same lady wasn't there when I first came in. "Excuse me, but I was wondering If I could get my sister, Alice Lynn in room 142, out a little early. Her uncle is about to leave for a flight back to his house and it would be wonderful if she could get out a little early to say goodbye to him." I gave the receptionist a cheeky smile to help sell the story.
"Oh sweetie, don't worry I'll get a nurse right on it, she'll be out in a matter of minutes." The lady said sympathetically and started paging a nurse. I smirked and started walking back towards Alice's room where a nurse was unhooking her IV and handing her her clothes she had come in in. When I walked in Jake and Alice looked extremely surprised that I had actually pulled it off.
"All right, you're all good Alice; you can go change in that bathroom across the hall." The nurse smiled and left the room. Once Alice was dressed we started to make our way out to the car.
"How'd you do it?" Jake whispered, breaking the silence.
"Do what?" I looked at him, clearly confused.
"Talk that lady into letting Alice out early."
"Ohhh. I fucking lied my ass off." I laughed and Jake and Alice started laughing too, bringing the mood up a bit.
I dropped Jake off at his apartment and continued to mine, bringing Alice with me. When I looked over at her she had an uneasy look on her face which worried me.
"Are you okay, Alice?" I asked and looked over at her when I had to stop at a red light.
"Umhm.." She mumbled and stared at her lap. This only confirmed for me that she wasn't okay but I was going to have to find out why once we got to my apartment because the light turned green. I continued driving towards my apartment and parked in my space. When Alice and I got out I noticed my walker still lying by the stairs, I was surprised no one had moved it yet. I kneeled down beside it and Alice stood behind me. I noticed a little piece of paper tucked into a space between two of the bars. I pulled it out and noticed a familiar handwriting on the front.
"Don't read until back from tour" I read. "Well luckily I'm back from tour. I can't believe I didn't notice this before." I sighed. "Come one let's go inside and read it." I grabbed Alice's hand and started to lead her up the stairs and into my apartment. We sat down on the couch but instead of reading the note right away I set it down on the coffee table. "Alice please tell me what's wrong." I begged.
"I'm sorry..." She whispered.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" I asked, clearly confused.
"For almost killing myself..."
"Alice..." I sighed. "We went over this. It's okay, you don't need to be sorry to me. Just please never do it again, I love you." She smiled when I said that I loved her. "Now let's read that note, I have a feeling I know who it's from." I picked up the note and started to unfold it. "Dear Andy" I read. "You better be reading this after you finished your tour. I wrote this while you were asleep and stuck it in your walker before you left the hospital. I knew I was going to die during your duration on tour. If you're reading this I have because if I haven't I would have already found a way to take the note away from you before you read it after tour. I'm not sure when I'm going to die during your tour but I know I am, my time is up. I just wanted to say take good care of my sister because I assume you guys have gotten together by now, tell her you love her every day and be nice to her and sing to her too." I glanced over at Alice and noticed her blushing but continued to read. "I'm so glad I got to meet you before I died, you helped me be strong through the duration that I was able to fight this cancer, but it got too far, but again you helped me be happy, thank you. And tell Alice I love her and mom and dad do too, I'm with them in heaven right now.
Love, Riley Jacob Lynn" I finished. I looked over at Alice and smiled. "Riley's one amazing kid." I whispered and she started to smile too. I softly pressed my lips to her forehead then her lips.
"I know." She whispered back and snuggled into my chest.
Thanks for reading, Review please xoxo
