It was now after the first week of December, just last week Jamie and Roger had met and he fell in love with her, but he wasn't sure if she fell love with him. Roger stood by the window as he watched the snow fall and he looked over his shoulder to Jamie who was out. It had been 3 days since Jamie was found unconsicous by him, and still hasn't woken up yet. He didn't want any more people who were close to him to die. April slit her wrist in the bathroom and died after she found out that she was HIV positive. Mimi died 2 weeks later of pneumonia after her close death on the metal table back at the loft. Collins' Angel, who died of AIDS on Halloween a year ago.
He reached for his pocket and got a out a wrinkled yellow line sheet of paper. For some reason he felt that he need to write a song last night but even though he felt very distraught and worried. He went over to get his guitar by the table, which Mark brought for him yesterday so he wouldn't be bored out of his mind.
"I wrote this song for you, it's called "I'm Here With You." I hope you like it, Baby."
When I saw you the first time
Looking so sad and unbroken
I came around
Held you in my safe arms as you cried
I whispered I'm here with you
As the days, hours, minutes went by
Without you gone
I stood in the room all alone
All I can think was about you, Baby
Wondering if you were coming back
Nothing I can do but wait and say to you
I'm here with you
Whenever you need
I'm here with you all day and through
As if I'm your guardian angel to guide you
Then I found you safe in my arms
Holding you as if I wouldn't let you go
With such an warm embrace
I'm here with you
Giving you sweet kisses to make you happy
I'm here with you
Making you smile and laugh
I'm here with you
I whisper in your ears that
I'm here with you...
Roger looked at her, she was still unconcious. Roger sighed, it still didn't work. He put down his guitar and got ready for bed. He put the sheets on the chair, sat on the chair and held her hand. "Good night, Jamie." He kissed her hand and put his head on the bed beside her arm.
All of the sudden, Roger felt a hand on his head, he looked up at Jamie who still had her eyes closed, "Jamie?" He squeezed her hand softly and she squeezed it back. Roger put her hand on his face to let her touch his stubble face and his features. "It's me, Roger." She finally opened her eyes revealing her blue eyes. "Hey you." He smiled at her and felt tears rolled down from his face. "You're awake." He kissed her hand. Jamie tried to talk. "Shh..you have a tube in your mouth. Don't talk."
Roger push the button on the bed next to her.
"Yes, may I help you?" the nurse asked.
"Can you get Dr. Shepard here, Jamie is awake." Roger said, looking down to Jamie.
"Yes." The nurse said.
"Thank you." Roger smiled at Jamie and kissed her hand. "The doctor is coming, Baby."
"I heard the news that Jamie is awake." Dr. Shepard came in the room and went to her. "How are you feeling Jamie?" He asked. "Can you squeezed my hands?"
Jamie did it.
"Can you move your legs?" He asked.
She couldn't moved her legs. "Ok, Jamie. Roger, it's going to take time for Jamie to things phyiscally so I'm not worried about that just yet." He looked up to Roger then to Jamie. "I'm gonna take the tube out and I want to you take a deep breath as I take it out." He said as he took the tube out slowly of her mouth.
Jamie began to cough. "Roger," She whispered and it became raggy as she took a breath.
"I'm here." Roger held her hand and kissed it again. "I'm here, Baby."
"Head hurts." Jamie whispered.
"You have a fracture skull, Jamie." Dr. Shepard said. "You just had surgery this afternoon."
"Tired." Jamie said, closing her eyes.
"Her brain activity is kind of slow, her brain needs rest at times. She may speak a very little words at times. Or there will be times where words could be jumbled and not make sense at times." Dr. Shepard said to Roger.
"Roger.." Jamie whispered.
"I'm here, Baby." Roger looked down to her and caressed her cheek.
"Jamie, I'm going to notify the nurse that you need some more medicine, ok?" He looked at Jamie and then to Roger. "Roger, I'm going to my next patient. Please let me know if you need me."
"Ok." Roger nodded and then shook Dr. Shepard's hand. "Thank you."
"No problem." He smiled. "I'm glad she's awake and out of unconscious." Then Dr. Shepard left, leaving Roger and Jamie alone.
Roger smiled, took of deep breath and sighed of relief. "Oh, thank god."
"Water.." She said weakly.
"I got you water, James." He pour the water from his water bottle to the cup and put the straw in and gave it to her. "You ok?"
She let go of the straw and nodded. "Feel good."
"Cold water feels good, eh?" Roger smiled and caressed her cheeks. Then he bended down to kiss her chapped lips, softly almost tender. "I love you, Jamie. I wanted to say that ever since the night at the Life."
Jamie smiled brightly at him, "I. Love. You." She whispered and caressed his hand. "Hold me.." Jamie said.
"I don't want to hurt you and I don't want you to move around with that injury." Roger looked down. "I will hold you later, I promise. All I want is you get better."
He said as he sat down on chair next to her and looked at her.
"Roger. Looking." Jamie whispered.
"I can't help looking at you. It's a miracle that you are awake." Roger smiled and wiped his tears.
"H-how long?" Jamie tried to speak.
"You were out for 3 days straight." Roger said as he caressed her hand.
"Missed you." Jamie whispered as she reached out to touch his face.
"I missed you, Baby." Roger kissed her. "I love you so much."
"I-I love you." Jamie said.
